    Reading Your YouTube Comments

    • Not actually a rant, but we've been posting YouTube Shorts of our podcast segments and some of you lovely people out there have been leaving comments. Today we read through a few and take turns laughing and crying at what you say.

    The Magical Lads Update

    • Mitch is working on an art project where he draws manly video game men as fabulously as possible over on his Twitch channel. Yeah, it's a plug, but it's an entertaining one.

    Video Game Patents

    • Some companies just wanna watch the world burn. Today we discuss some of the naughtiest patents and the downright cruel ways that some game companies limit competition.


    What are we Doing for Fun?

    Jonathan: Santa got me a Steam Deck for Christmas (thanks Mom and Dad), so I've been playing Valkyria Chronicles 4. It's an older game, but it's a lot of fun. I've always been into strategy games, and it's given me something to do during long plane rides to and from seeing my extended family.

    Welcome to Triple Rant, the show where we rant about stuff you sometimes care about!


    Full disclosure, this is actually episode 8 of our podcast, but I forgot to upload it at the appropriate time. If we can all just pretend this is episode 14, next week we'll be back on track. Thanks!


    Today's ranting topics include:

    Video Game Armor

    • We're talking again about armor sets in video games and what we would design if we were in charge of a game.

    Cheap & Lame Movies (Plus Cool Ones)

    • You're directing the worst movie and the best movie. If you had only $10 or $100,000,000, what kind of movie would you make and how awesome would it be?

    The Newest Fads

    • We talk about what's in the news and also about potential video-game related disorders.


    What are we Doing for Fun?

    Jonathan: I've been working a lot more on the short's animations for our YouTube channel (subtle plug). Drawing is something I wouldn't consider myself very good at, but it's rewarding to gradually make progress.


    Also, the three of us have been playing more Overwatch together...and losing...together. If you have fun multiplayer game to recommend us, please share in the comments of the podcast!

    A.I. Girlfriend Sci-Fi Action Movie

    • Last week the A.I. Girlfriend was scary...this week, she aids our protagonist against the evil galactic empire! Or something of that nature.
    • It's a science fiction movie and it has something to do with A.I. girlfriend. Should be entertaining...hopefully.

    What are we Doing for Fun?

    I've been doing a lot of drawing recently. I bought a few anatomy books and have been plugging away trying to learn how to draw heads and hands. It ain't much, but its honest work.

    Welcome to Triple Rant, the show where we rant about stuff you sometimes care about!


    Today's ranting topics include:

    The Jurassic Park Series

    • Mitch loooooves Jurassic Park, and I think it's pretty awesome too. We're a bit late talking about it, but in this episode, Mitch discusses his thoughts on the new Jurassic Park movie and the series in general. It's going to be a Dino-Mite time!

    A.I. Girlfriend Horror Movie

    • We attempt and create a horror movie about artificial intelligence girlfriends. It's weird, it's creepy and it might just be closer to reality than we think...


    What are we Doing for Fun?

    The three of us have been playing a lot of Overwatch recently. Are we any good at it? No. But, at least we have fun. The roles we typically play are as follows.

  • Ep. 11 - Simplifying Corporate Logos

    Welcome to Triple Rant, the show where we rant about stuff you sometimes care about!


    Today's ranting topics include:

    Simplifying Logos

    • You've all seen it, logos for major companies and brands (Windows, Apple, Firefox, etc.) are getting so simplified that you can barely tell what they even are anymore.
    • Mitch, our resident artist, breaks down some of his favorites and least favorite logos and talks about what goes into making an appealing design...the rest of us are just here to make quips and add funny commentary.

    Search History Movie

    • We make a movie based on our (church appropriate) search history.
    • No spoilers, but it involves, the movie, Scream, Liam Nissan, and the legendary internet spoof, The Round Meal. All hail its roundness, for it is great and terrible!

    What're You Watching or Playing?

    Mitch, is traditionally known in our group of friends for not liking first-person video games (he gets motion sick), but he finally downloaded Overwatch 2 and we've all be playing together.

    Are we any good? Well, that's debatable, but at least we're having fun. For those of your wondering, Stuart is a filthy Junkrat main.

    Also, I (Jonathan) have been watching the finale of My Hero Academia with my wife. I'm a filthy manga reader, so I already know the ending, but we've really been enjoying it.


    Also, also, you may be wondering where episode 10 is??? Well, I ended up doing a topic all about cave-diving and diving-related deaths and let's just say it turned the podcast into a real bummer. We decided to shelve that episode, but maybe someday we'll release the secret episode 10 for your listening displeasure, ooooooh.

    Arthouse and Snobby Movies

    Weird Promotional Crossovers

    • Remember when Shrek and Supreme did a brank collaboration? I don't either, but Stuart is gonna go over some popular brands and some weird marketing they did to try and reach the youths!

    I'm currently in the midst of a playthrough of Silksong, the sequel to Hollow Knight. The game is absolutely awesome, but it's also quite difficult and kicking my butt.

  • Ep. 7 - Why is Female Armor so Sexy?!

    Welcome to Triple Rant, the show where we rant about stuff you sometimes care about!


    Today's ranting topics include:

    Advice for Running a Tabletop Game

    • Stuart talks all about running a campaign as a dungeon/game master and gives advice to any newbie DM's. Do you have any advice on how to successfully run games?

    Video Game Armor (Male Vs. Female)

    • Female armor in video games is oh so attractive, but not very practical. Male armor on the other hand sometimes makes it look like your character is nothing more than a giant iron chest plate with spikes. This is a topic Mitch is very passionate about, and he has a lot to say.

    Movie Idea: The Rich & The Balding

    • We take an offhand comment from last episode and work to turn it into a feature-length film! Who are these rich people, and why are they all bald?

    What are you playing right now?

    Jonathan: I literally just purchased Hollow Knight: Silksong, and it's taking all of my willpower to finish editing this podcast instead of playing the game. I've also been playing some Overwatch 2 with Stuart. We almost always lose, but it's still a lot of fun!

  • Ep. 6 - The Call of Duty Effect

    Welcome to Triple Rant, the show where we rant about stuff you sometimes care about!


    Today's ranting topics include:

    Becoming a Productive Artist

    • Being an artist is a lot of hard work (I assume). Mitch breaks down a few practices that help him stay motivated and working hard on his art. Are there any artsy or creative projects any of you are currently working on?

    Forced Innovation

    • Imagine you've created the perfect product, but a sequel for it has to come out next year. How do you improve on something that doesn't need to be changed? Now take that idea and apply it to the Call of Duty Video game series.

    D&D Horror Stories

    • Has Dungeons & Dragons ever landed you in jail? Us either! However, the person in this story isn't so lucky.


    What are we Doing for Fun?

    Jonathan: I'm currently on Chapter 4 of the game Deltarune (highly recommend it by the way). I also just helped my wife play through the pacifist run of Undertale since she's never played the game before.

    Mitch: He's currently playing his true love, Dead by Daylight. He's also re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia series.


    Stuart: I forgot to ask Stuart what he was playing, watching, or reading this week. Let's all assume it's something really cool and sophisticated.

  • Ep. 5 - Complaining About Pokémon Card Scalpers

    Welcome to Triple Rant, the show where we rant about stuff you sometimes care about!


    Today's ranting topics include:

    A.I. Art

    • Our pal Mitch is a professional artist, so he has very strong opinions on the rise of Artificial Intelligence and how it's being used to create art. What are your opinions on A.I.? Is it a blight to humanity, a useful tool, or somewhere in between?

    Cliches in Movies & Film

    • We work together to create the most cliche movie possible. Any sort of trope or overused turn of phrase, we want it!

    Scalpers and Making Everything More Expensive

    • Stuart just wants to collect Pokémon cards, but middle-aged men with too much money keep buying them before he can and are jacking up the prices. Little Timmy just wants a Jolteon, can't you just let him have one pack of cards?!

    What am I currently playing?

    Jonathan: I've had my eyes on a game called Void Stranger for quite some time now and finally decided to take the plunge. It's weird, its hipster, everything is in black and white...I love it. Can't honestly say I'm the biggest fan of all the block and logic puzzles, but it's fun to exercise your brain a bit and those "aha!" moment when you finally solve a puzzle are really satisfying. It's on Steam for about $12 if you wanna try it out.

  • EP. 4 - Waifus for Laifu

    Waifus and Husbandos! Harmless fun or problematic? Definitely problematic, but it should still be a fun show!


    Welcome to Triple Rant, the show where we rant about stuff you sometimes care about!


    Today's ranting topics include:

    Waifus and Husbandos in Anime and Video Games

    • We've all had our crushes in our favorite games and shows, but when does that affection start to go a bit too far? I'll tell you when, it's when you start purchasing body pillows!

    Lethal Company the Movie

    • The T-Rant boys take a crack at creating a movie based on the popular survival/friendship stress testing game, Lethal Company. There's horror, funny moments and existential dread. Fun for the whole family!

    Board Games You Don't Wanna Play

    • What if I told you there was a board game out there that takes several thousand hours to complete? Well, it's real, and I sure hope none of you get roped into playing it.

    Media Corner (What are you consuming?)

    Jonathan: I'm currently re-reading Billy Graham's autobiography, Just as I Am. He was a pastor from North Carolina who preached all over the world. It's a pretty incredible book and definitely recommend giving it a read.
