Podcast - DF #62: We Panic Ghostbusting Our Trash

It seems that this is a perfect week to discuss Trash Panic due to the fact that this is one trashy episode of Distributed Failure. This week's episode is particularly crappy (and short) and isn't even worth pimping. If you're interested in making your ears bleed then I highly recommend you listen to this here piece of poop!

We start off the show unenthusiastically with "What We've Been Playing" just like any other episode. We talk about Prototype, Ghostbusters: The Video Game, Trash Panic, Gunstar Heroes, Peggle: Dual Shot, and more. We follow that up with the shortest news segment in recent memory, basically consisting of the rumors that "Project Natal" is actually the next Xbox. We end the show with a sausage dump featuring my dislike for the HBO series True Blood. I hope you live through this episode and please be kind in your reviews on iTunes.

True Blood = Truly Bad

I never saw True Blood until a few days ago, in fact, I never even heard of the show until recently. I was extremely hopeful for this series and expected to enjoy it, even if it was only because I love vampires. Sadly, I was in for quite a downpour of disappointment.

The premise is interesting; Vampires are now out in the open, "out of the closet", and live among humans, all while being discriminated against. Apparently this is supposed to be a metaphor of the discrimination of homosexuality in our world, but the show doesn't do a good job of portraying this in a serious tone. There is so much potential in True Blood, but one, very specific thing holds it back...

...Sex. The show is full of explicit, pointless and unneeded sex scenes. There is no reason for the show to throw this much sex at you, especially when there is no legitimate reason for its existence. Every time that I would start to get interested in the show, I would be immediately taken out of the experience because apparently I need to watch some people hump the crap out of each other like a couple of horny bunnies.

I have only seen the first two episodes of season 1 (I love you Netflix!), but those episodes were enough to turn me away from giving the series another shot. I will consider watching more of season 1 if I'm told the show changes its ways after the first few episodes, but from the little I've heard, True Blood keeps the pointless sex coming and coming (sorry, it was just too easy) all night long!

I am giving the first two episodes of True Blood two sausages out of five.
