I'M FROM THE INTERNET

The Zybourne Clock (Part One)

Ep. 63

This, my darling, is a legend. A legend many men and many women claim to have seen, understood, and known. A story about time travel which, ironically, has been largely lost to the sands of time. Until now.


This, darling, is The Zybourne Clock. The real Zybourne Clock. Johnny Cornfeld, not Johnny Fiveaces. The monolith, not the golden egg.


Buckle up, we're going to "Bookworld".


Extra special thanks to Fuego Fish from the Something Awful forums, who worked on The Zybourne Clock, for being my source on this episode. You can check out his fiction and ongoing work at http://plunderpress.com/


This week we are joined by video game expert Jeremy Kaplowitz, co-host of the Quorators podcast and co-founder of the video game satire site Hard Drive.

  • 59. Let's Play Danganronpa! (Part One)

    01:24:32||Ep. 59
    When Something Awful poster Orenronen began translating the relatively obscure Japanese visual novel Danganronpa in 2011, it was considered too weird to get an official English localization. Over a decade later, Danganronpa is a multimillion-selling franchise and one of the most successful visual novel franchises in the west. It's one of the most impactful sagas to come out of Something Awful and also our first foray into the Let's Play subforum, so why not pay tribute to both by doing an exploration of the plot of Danganronpa in tandem? Jay has played the entire game and a good chunk of the sequel, now he just has to summarize an infamously complicated and weird story from a different language and culture in an audio medium.For this series we are joined by horror and anime expert Vanessa Guerrero from Game Grumps, who are currently playing through the Danganronpa series. https://x.com/nessguerrerohttps://www.twitch.tv/Nesguerrerohttps://www.instagram.com/snesguerreroThe document with expanded show topics is available for review and comment at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p-tyrzJOXF0m4lIrL49EW-1jIveX-4j2y14UNrnYG_Y/edit?tab=t.0You can review this episode's document with sources at https://tinyurl.com/SADanganronpaPodDocFor inquiries, contact the show directly at IFTIpod@gmail.comCreated and Hosted by:Winslow Dumaine - www.winslowdumaine.com/Jay Brandstetter - linktr.ee/jaybrandstetterPO Box 2750Ventor City, NJ 08406Produced and Edited by:Steve Brown - linktr.ee/killhamsterIntro and Outro music is "in failure" by steveisbroke off of their album "steve and his week of wonders", used with permission. https://steveisbroke.bandcamp.com/album/steve-and-his-week-of-wondersThis program is not affiliated with or sponsored by Something Awful LLC or Jeffrey of YOSPOS.
  • 58. Something Awful References in Video Games (Minisode)

    01:12:55||Ep. 58
    The summer of gaming is drawing to a close, so here's a fun look at the times Something Awful showed up in commercial video games over the years. It's a good glimpse at how Something Awful was viewed as a comedy gaming site during its height and how many people in the games industry read the front page. The Zybourne Clock episode is coming up so this has some fun foreshadowing for that as well.The document with expanded show topics is available for review and comment at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p-tyrzJOXF0m4lIrL49EW-1jIveX-4j2y14UNrnYG_Y/edit?tab=t.0You can review this episode's document with sources at https://tinyurl.com/SAGamingRef1PodDocFor inquiries, contact the show directly at IFTIpod@gmail.comCreated and Hosted by:Winslow Dumaine - www.winslowdumaine.com/Jay Brandstetter - linktr.ee/jaybrandstetterPO Box 2750Ventor City, NJ 08406Produced and Edited by:Steve Brown - linktr.ee/killhamsterIntro and Outro music is "in failure" by steveisbroke off of their album "steve and his week of wonders", used with permission. https://steveisbroke.bandcamp.com/album/steve-and-his-week-of-wondersThis program is not affiliated with or sponsored by Something Awful LLC or Jeffrey of YOSPOS.
  • 57. Returning From 100,000 Hours of Probation

    100,000 hours of probation is one of the worst punishments the administrators of Something Awful can mete out to problem posters. This episode, we talk about what it takes to be banished to the Phantom Zone for almost three presidential elections and one recent newsworthy example of someone returning from their 4,166 days of exile.You can review and comment on the document for expanded show topics at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p-tyrzJOXF0m4lIrL49EW-1jIveX-4j2y14UNrnYG_Y/edit?tab=t.0You can review this episode's document with sources (and pictures) at https://tinyurl.com/100kProbeSAPodDocFor inquiries, contact the show directly at IFTIpod@gmail.comCreated and Hosted by:Winslow Dumaine - www.winslowdumaine.com/Jay Brandstetter - linktr.ee/jaybrandstetterPO Box 2750Ventor City, NJ 08406Produced and Edited by:Steve Brown - linktr.ee/killhamsterIntro and Outro music is "in failure" by steveisbroke off of their album "steve and his week of wonders", used with permission. https://steveisbroke.bandcamp.com/album/steve-and-his-week-of-wondersThis program is not affiliated with or sponsored by Something Awful LLC or Jeffrey of YOSPOS.

Not just any poster, but an especially good and beloved one who made a lot of neat stuff!
