    Voyenture Time, Ep. 77 - Manic Pixie Dream Talaxian

    You wake up. You go to [school][work][nowhere][somewhere]. Then you [go][stay] home. You watch a TV show. An alien dies. He comes back to life. All is well. You watch a cartoon. A boy finds a new sword. He finds himself. All is well. The stories are [fiction][true][both]. You think: I am [human][alien][alive]. I will [die][die and come back to life][live forever]. You think: I am a [child][girl][boy]. I will find myself. You find that you are [regular][famous][poor][rich][unknowable][loved][hated][having an existential crisis][inexorably mortal][more?] SELECT AS MANY AS APPLY We live in a world with nail polish and napalm. We water our concrete cubes and wait. In the end, we fall into the nothingness, just like everyone else. Block my eggs. I demanded to write the notes this week because I wanted to write about my super specific niche interest, but then I realized I am too basic to have any truly niche interests. Oh, so you like Taylor Swift. You have cats. You read books. Good for you. I would have picked one of the Bioware games I'm obsessed with, but I have nowhere near enough time or space for that. So I'm just going to talk about the last book I read and really loved, which is also an incredibly basic choice: Book Lovers by Emily Henry. As of this current moment in time, it is number eight on the New York Times Bestseller List and has been there for 13 weeks. Not to brag but I've actually been an Emily Henry fan ever since her first YA novel, which she sent me an arc of in 2015 before it even came out. Yeah, that's right. I KNOW Emily Henry. Kind of. We were Twitter mutuals when she was still using it, meeting when we both got mildly harassed by the same bizarre troll account after tweeting about the just released trailer for The Giver. We used to talk about Friday Night Lights and reality TV and while it was a very casual acquaintance, it DOES continue today on Instagram. Yes, I am namedropping, but I love her, she is amazing, and it's an honor to not have been unfollowed. Anyway, I just have to say that the three adult romance books she's written are truly fantastic. Her stories are so funny and sexy and romantic and her characters feel like people that actually exist, people I could be friends with. Her plots defy the formulas so many popular romance novels stick to. Book Lovers is the best one. The specific reasons why I think this are mostly too personal to go into. Let's just say the protagonist is the unpickable career girl who doesn't want kids, and she gets a happy ending with an Oscar Isaac lookalike (a casting choice Emily has confirmed as accurate, by the way) who doesn't try to change her. When I read the last chapter, I just put it down and cried, because I felt so understood. And that is the thing I am most hoping to find before the lights go out.

    Voyenture Time, Ep. 76 - A Single Ear

    Even if you like Final Fantasy, I think we can all agree that last week's notes went off the deep end. Well, I'm nothing if not a trend follower, so this week I'm going to write way too much about my own thing. I was never much of a sports guy. I liked playing them just fine — tennis and soccer all through elementary and high school — but I never really enjoyed watching them. I'd much rather be out there doing them than sitting around. At the same time, I always liked cars as a combination of industrial design and mechanical engineering, two sides of the same coin that each have to bend to serve the other. But I was never a gearhead, either. So no one was more surprised than me to find out how much I cared about Formula 1. Imagine you're a driver of the fastest vehicle in the world, in a cockpit about ten inches from the ground. There is no windshield. The only thing separating you from the asphalt is a quarter inch of carbon fiber. Behind you sits an engine so finely tuned for speed that if you slow down too much, it bursts into flame from the lack of cooling air. In the pursuit of maximum speed, your car shapes the air rushing around it at 200 miles per hour so that your car is glued to the track with so much force that if you drove up the wall of a tunnel, you could stick to the ceiling. They're called "wings," and if you turned them upside down, you could fly. Sometimes cars do. The difference between scoring something and nothing is fractional seconds. If you're in fourth, you might as well have not raced at all, even though the guy who got third might just be three one-hundreths of a second ahead of you — literally faster than the blink of an eye. Enter a corner ten inches too far to the left or get on the throttle a little too slow and suddenly your perfect lap becomes a worthless one. You're surrounded by nineteen other cars just like yours, and all of you are the size of an Escalade. Everyone is watching for a tiny mistake to capitalize on. Blow an exit and watch as three drivers blow past you like you're not even there. The only way to get ahead is to be as aggressive as you can: hit the brake later than the other guy, force him wide so you can get the better line, trick him into passing where you're weak so you can return the favor where you're strong. Great, that was lap one. Now do it 70 more times.

    Voyenture Time, Ep. 75 - I Have a Microphone Announcement

    Welcome to another delightful episode of Star Trek Voyenture Time, with all of your favorite hosts, Andrew, he's the one who brings the energy, Sarah, she's thoughtful and knows more about Star Trek than the rest of us combined, Nathan, when his equipment is working, and Ben is also here. So lets jump right into it... Ok with the fake show notes done, this part is just for me, maybe for Liz. I'm going to start talking about the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 and no one can stop me. I just did the Hildibrand questline, and holy shit I loved it so much. The fact that all of the Manderville's are just cartoon characters and everyone else in this universe is just constantly surprised at the beatings that they will take, or the insane feats that they will do is just so god damn good every time. Oh, Hildibrand fell into a drift of snow and can't move his arms to get himself out? Godbert better launch him into the sky. Hildibrand wants to knock his dad out of being mind controlled by an overactive drug? The solution is obviously to grab him, jump four stories up and try to suplex him, only for the effect to wear off early and for Godbert to reverse it and pile drive his son into the ground and do a mambo in celebration. It's so good and overtly dumb in all the best ways. I love it.
