Hey all! Sorry for the delayed releases. Stuff’s coming.

For now here’s a short. It’s probably not for everyone. Maybe it’s for no one.

But it is voices reading dumb things that we recorded so… You’re welcome?

Sorry.

Despite what the posts we read from the internet would suggest, people on the internet sometimes actually read books.

Books that people care about.

Classics, if you will.

What’s a classic? Whatever’s tagged as classic on Goodreads, obviously!

Let’s figure out which some classics are much reviled by the sharp-minded, sharp-tongued folks over at Goodreads, and which are beloved for what is certainly a deep and correct reason. What do you mean the majority of these people have Harry Potter listed as their favorite books? Who would ever take notice of something like that? Ohohoho!

This week, Extra Credit wonder’s if Ye Olde Bois are worth it.

On the internet, we often find ourselves inundated with impressively bad erotica. But did you know that before the internet people were also bad at writing flirtation, foreplay, sex, and fetish play?

Okay, but did you know they were also GAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?!

Hommi Publishing is on a mission to catalog gay pulp romance novels from the latter half of the 20th century, seeing as much of it is lost to villainous fujoshi librarians and price-gouging ebay scoundrels who hoard these homosexual remnants of print media, and archiving them on the internet, complete with excerpts to entice and delight.

Real talk: This is actually a great mission.

Realer talk: It’s still funny to read bad romance prose.

This week, Extra Credit would never love a green, fanged, 123 year old vampire.

A day late, a dollar short, and two couch cushions bigger than before…

Fantasy Feeder is a place we’ve been to maybe once before. Or maybe twice if you’re from THAT loaf. But what’s important is that we never ever get full anymore so you may as well watch as our bellies grow comically large and our asses get really really tall all because some sinister uh… clerk at a store puts us in a dress that’s too small I guess?

This episode is about people who fetishize fatness so much they ruin other people’s day and self-esteem for their own gratification.

This week, Extra Credit doesn’t care if you don’t get our Homestar Runner references.

Synchronicity is apparently when something is almost but not quite a coincidence or something. Look it really doesn’t matter. What does matter is that when things happen it’s only because all things were destined to give me a tingly feeling in the back of my head. That’s why I go to reddit and tell everyone how freaky it is that sometimes I remember my dog.

Look, I dunno what to say about this one, it’s literally about nothing even within the context of the community r/synchronicity which seems to be a subreddit about nothing.

This week, Extra Credit’s alarm went off for American Spirit.

alt.horror.werewolves was once a place where Usenet members could post about werewolf movies. Then a bunch of furries took over and started talking exclusively about being werewolves. In order to get people to stop expecting discussion about horror movies and instead expect serious discussion about someday seeing the real them in the mirror and how lycanthrope and theriomorph are interchangeable or something, the new cool kids decided to put up a Frequently Asked Questions page to address all the times someone has asked “wait do you really think you’re a wolf?” or “hey why is this .horror and not .spirituality or something?”

The result is people in the late 90s and early 00s meeting up in Ohio to jump over fire.

This week, Extra Credit learns to were is human, to wolf divine.

Jesus loves the little forum users. Probably.

The Christian Teen Forums is a place on the internet that begs the question “A forum for Christian Teens? What could possibly go wrong?!” And then you read it and you say “Oh right. Obviously all of this could possibly go wrong. And has!” You have your doctrinal disputes, your decades outdated pop-culture concerns, your former teens that grew into adults and never left the forum… And it all mixes together into a frothy spiritual soup where everyone is trying to prove the teenagers on the other side of their screens are the actual stupid ones. So… It’s pretty much the internet.

This week, Extra Credit is starting a Christian Clan at SOCOM 4.

The 90s: A time of Tamagotchis, Talkboy tape recorders, and, yes, magazines about video games. These relics of a bygone era form the heart of our culture in a way only consumerism can manage. Some come along with us as we travel twixt the years 1991 and 2001 through words and song, though with the level of lyricism in magazines such as PC Accelerator, Gamepro, Official Playstation Magazine, Electronic Gaming Monthly, and so some more.

Come for the classic 90s audio quality, stay for the classic 90s misogyny!

This week, Extra Credit wonders what if Waluigi did 9/11 to Dolphin Zelda.

We top off our 200-ennieal extravaganza with another Hodgepode Documodge!

Join us as we dive into the offerings of Secret Gaygent 69, the lizzerd, and more!

Thanks for listening for ~200 ‘sodes, the next 200 are on us! (as were the last 200. we got a lot of ‘sodes to give away, only mildly past the sell by date!)

Part 2 crew, the B-team, the idea that keeps on giving…

In this part, a bunch of us go back through old documents and read stuff that had been skipped over, or we dug deeper and found more new things to read that were even worse.

See, we finally got around to it! Some of it…

Stress brought back the Crying Lovers’ Forum: The Crying Came
