Will they discover the secret of the scepter?

Here's the third episode, ya mugs! Controversial! This is when I started sort of putting episodes together with themes in mind. It's also the first time I recorded a song specifically for the episode. Think about how labor intensive that is!

The back half of this remains one of my favorite things I've ever done and it's the first time I've done an audio play style segment for the show. I had this idea years ago but never knew what to do with it. Now it's hear, in your ears!

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about the sparse fall release schedule, TVTropes, and Resident Evil 6.

Ben: Borderlands 2.
David: Borderlands 2. Guild Wars 2. Kingdom of Loathing.
Dennis: Borderlands 2.
Kole: Bad Piggies. F.T.L.. Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 6.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and the attendees of the Portland Retro Games Expo talk about Super Mario World.

This episode is a bit of a different beast than our previous outings. Normally we play a game, then talk about it, and pepper in your thoughts. For this, we set up a booth at the Portland Retro Games Expo with a CRT TV and an SNES with Super Mario World. We invited anyone who passed to beat a level, then offer their thoughts. The result is an hour of avant garde guerilla podcasting, where people gush about the best Mario game of all time.

Wherein those damn Ross kids talk about courage under duress, the last circus, and routines.

Cinder block rights. Corn maize. Kris's basement disaster. Missing adults. Two cars in every garage, and a chicken in every mailbox. Fois gras on a toothpick. A dangerous paraplegic with a pen. Natural Hunka Kaboomski. The Nine Ring Circus, and inadvertent juggalo fanfic. Craigslist: Manbaby for Unwilling Mommy. Sifl and Olly are back. Why Kole doesn't use handrails. Girls can't throw. Born on the NASCAR circuit. Pete and Pete Style. The sound and the fury of sexing at gunpoint in a moving car after a fistfight and a crash. The McRib is not back.

FUCKING FERAL.

Episode 2 is where things take off, I think. A lot of things that make the show what it is first show up here. Repurposing editing mistakes, lists, improvised conversations and my pitch perfect Macy Gray impersonation. A coworker once got ahold of the podcast and said, "What the fuck do you have against Mariah Carey?" True story.

I've got nothing against Macy Gray. I just happen to know that she has a lot of inhuman traits.

The 2nd half is already dated and I wish I had never done it!

Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Borderlands 2, FTL, and starting areas from games.

David: Guild Wars 2. Borderlands 2.
Kole: FTL. Resident Evil 5.
Ben: Borderlands 2.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross investigate Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers.

It’s no secret: We love adventure games. And we’ve done a lot of them recently. However, we’ve never done a Sierra adventure game, of which Gabriel Knight is probably the best. Funky accents aside, it’s got great dialogue, clever puzzles, and explores a subject that’s been mostly ignored by games: Voodoo.

Excuse the audio quality in this week's episode. We couldn't record, so we had to dig up a lost episode. We did the best we could. Sorry.

The lost. 86. A spoiled little emperor. How pandas piss. Terminally awesome. Indian giving. Looking for myself. Has Anybody Here Seen Wally? Rockapella. I thank God for this assault. Timmy Planked Grandma. Smokin hot ladies. Circumcision freakonomics. Your name is assault, little kid. Deaf mom. Quit playing with your clay and stop Hologram Nixon. THE SCIENCE ZONE: Binge drinking in college is fun. Your product broke my dick.

Never fear! The Cosmic Fool is here!

This is it! The beginning! The first episode of Dead Idea Valhalla! Me, being who I am, created the beginning of a new show by focusing on the past. The beginning features a lengthy treatise on the end of the Dinocast as well as an unreleased song from my band, The Metroids.

Afterwards, we really get into the meat of the show with a bit of railing against this whole Keep Portland Weird nonsense. Trivia: this bit started as a draft for an open mic comedy thing before I decided it'd be better as a podcast segment.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Ron Gilbert talk about bicycle safety, the way of the future, the horror of silence, and a little bit about Maniac Mansion.
