  • Hamsteak Episode 14: Maybe The Real Goof Was The Friends We Made Along The Way
    Welcome to our first Intermission! (Of the comic, that is. This is a real episode!)
    This week: Fair warning, the violence gets a little less cartoony and a lot more murdery with these guys. The Midnight Crew and their rival gang the Felt engage in equal parts metatextual, time-travel and old-timey-gangster-themed shenanigans in a creepy green mansion somewhere. Pages 3054 to 3162.
    There’s also:
    FashionableCanes.com, where you can be like CD and buy your very own all-natural bull penis cane
    Postgame of Thrones, that podcast we talk about in the listener questions - it’s about Game of Thrones and it’s by two guys with good opinions and way better jokes than us
    The Midnight Crew song and certifiable Real Thing that “friend of the show @dromedary” (for some value of the word ‘friend’) came millimeters from getting me to sing on the air
    Next week: More of the same. It gets weirder. There’s more foreshadowing than you think. Fair warning for more murders. Pages 3163 to 3257.

  • Hamsteak Episode 13: I'm Ham and This Is Steak
    It’s the end of Act 3! By the end of this episode we’ll be done with half the Acts in Homestuck..... and just north of 14% of the actual page count. Look alive.
    This week: We start off by bringing you up to speed on everything we’ve read in the 4(!) months since we started! Then: Jade's “psychic” tendencies are explained. Two friendships are self-kindled via time paradox. PM finally gets to deliver the mail. Pages 2971 to 3053.
    There’s also:
    A YouTube upload of [S] Enter (the end-of-Act-3 Flash), so you, too, can scrub through and unpack every last nugget of content.
    Sweet Bro And Hella Jeff meet a new friend in: THE CAN RUSE WAS A ...... DISTACTION
    The song (the jam...) from [S] Enter is “Sburban Jungle” by Michael Guy Bowman
    We’ll be skipping next week - see you 3/28 for the start of the first Intermission! In which some familiar-looking, besuited, quasi-mobster carapace persons go toe to toe with a squad of green, billiards-themed goons in a creepy extradimensional mansion. A lot of clocks get broken. Unprecedented levels of time travel fuckery ensue.  Pages 3054 to 3162.

  • Hamsteak Episode 12: The Hammers Were Very Good
    We’re back! And: we’ve now officially read over 1000 pages of this monstrosity! Thanks for coming along for this ride.
    This week: Vodka Mutini gets her name. John really sees his room for the first time, and Rose has some ideas about it. Jade is an Adorable Oracle and has a real weird dream. A victorious Bro hoverboards into the sunset. Pages 2880 to 2970.
    And when we inevitably go off-topic, there’s also:
    The episode with our (vaguely recalled) origin story - it picks up around 57 minutes in!
    Alex’s accidentally written answer to that media question we got this week.
    A moment of appreciation for the URL craftsmanship that makes even the reader second-guess what they saw in Rose’s screencaps of John’s room.
    Next week is Episode 13! In which we finish Act 3 - i.e., we’ll have read half the Acts in Homestuck. So: we’ll kick things off with a recap of everything we’ve covered so far! Then we’ll actually wrap up the Act - in which John is a thoughtful friend, Jack confronts John’s Dad himself, PM goes to great lengths in the name of mail, and another kid finally, finally enters Sburb. Pages 2971 to 3053.

  • Hamsteak Episode 11: Fruit Gusher I Barely Know Her
    Eleven hams! Are you sure it’s not just two vertical hams placed next to each other? Let’s read some Homestuck, I guess.
    This week: Someone is dead, and we don’t mean Jaspers. Rose finds there’s more to paradox ghost slime than meets the eye. John learns some things about his father. So does somebody named Jack. Pages 2810 to 2879.
    Also this week, but with bullet points:
    Rose wears the scarf, is the rider.
    Scrub through the Gusher flavor names at your leisure on YouTube.
    the old man… HASS the flame
    Next week is Episode 12! In which Bec is a good dog, for some value of the word “dog”. In the future, postal work becomes increasingly death-defying. Jade has a weird dream and John has a lot of useless junk. Pages2880 to 2970.

  • Episode 10: 10 Ham 10 Steak

    It’s the tenth ham!! Thanks for sticking with us, friends!

    This week: PM travels unexpectedly with an unexpected window. Rose discovers the meteor situation is suspiciously well-organized. Hussie makes a Gushers joke but it’s in pretty bad taste. We warned you about stairs, bro. Pages 2770 to 2809.
    Also this week, but with bullet points:

    The ominous console Rose stumbles upon.
    Hypergothic architecture in a dark kingdom. In the cathedral rather than the eyeliner sense. [note: this link is lost to time]
    We go on, like, a ten-minute tangent about the attention spans and orthographic pragmatics of digital natives.

    Next week is Episode 11! In which the Gushers jokes are by and large less offensive, Rose engages with ectobiology, Jade engages with her grandfather, and we meet a surly carapace person who looks awfully familiar. 2810 to 2879.

    We are Alex and Lydia.

    Intro music: “Showtime (Original Mix)” – Malcolm Brown

  • Episode 9: Guns, Germs, and Radiation

    It’s a new episode in a new Act! 2 down, 4 to go. (This one’s Act 3.) Look alive!

    This week: It’s Jade! A bubbly oracle with a bent for remarkably dangerous hobbies. Meanwhile, Rose discovers a big pulsating underground server grid, Jade receives our first in-story trolling, and Dave gets wrecked by a literal puppet. Pages 2660 to 2769.

    Here’s a bunch of other stuff that comes up:

    • Listen to Jade’s homemade music on page 2730.
    • A YouTube upload of “[S] Jade: Play a hauntingly relaxing bassline.”
    • Read the line “Jade is beginning to regret breaking the fourth wall for this ill advised escapade” and all subsequent narration in the voice from this video. [note: i have no idea what this is meant to link to because our shownotes broke]
    • We got asked for webcomic recs! Check out Octopus Pie by Meredith Gran and Cucumber Quest by Gigi D.G.
    • We also got asked for book recs! Go read the Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson, or Invisible Cities by Italo Calvino.

    Next week is Episode 10! Bad news: Lydia screwed up the teaser text again and we won’t properly see Bec until Ep 11. Good news: John confronts his father’s room, Jade confronts her grandfather, and a familiar-looking carapace agent confronts an enormous pointing finger and a very silly hat. 2770 – 2879.
