6/5/25

Texas is slighty smaller then Alaska!

Walther is back and this time he has a guest with him. The ever talent
Jade Natasha! Jade is a architect living in Spokane, WA, a Tabaxi Ranger in Walther's thursday night online D&D game, a graduate of Washington State University and Sunnyside High School, and a former student of Walther.

Put a native Texan and Alaskan in a front of a mic, and well it makes for a good podcast.

Topics

After your typical "What in the show is in the show" pre podcast banter, introductions are had, and the discussion leads in to sport related injuries and why pickleball is in everyone future. Of course you can't have a podcast with out talking about Markdown, but we will ignore that to talk about walther Impending Rocky Mountain high adventures, and the incident with the moth.
Jade is interested in starting her own pod cast so Walther lays out what he know and has learned in the few years taht he has been doing this podcast. This lead to a dissection of what the tools of the craft is, what Walther uses, and how to get your audio to the public.
As stated early, this is some discussion of the difference between Texas, Alaska, and Washington. Of course Walther has to take the piss on colleges and size of things. Mountain make an appearance because Texas does not have them.

• Money, Time , Quality -- Choose two.

Car Talk, More

Jason and Carl swap horror stories from road debris in the road. This leads to a discussion of mind and body and the fallacy of memory.

Season 3 - Episode 2

10/31/21

A Party Trick Know to the Ancient Greeks

Show Opening

"My Sound Levels seams to be Good," is how Walther starts the episode tempting fate and foreshadowing the audio problems to come. If only he would learn the phrase 'inshallah' he would send less of his time being shown his hubris.

This is the second time they have tried to recoded the show, given Walther the time lag between last recording and Walther redoing his desk set up, as said above, things do not go 100% with out issues.

Main Show

Who knows how Magnets work?

Magnetism and other Delights

We get to the topic that Jason wanted to know about, what the deal is about static electricity and electromagnetic fields. It takes Walther a while to get past the history of atomic theory, but eventually gets around to contradicting himself and answering Jason's question.

• Electricity and magnetism.
  
  • Atomic Theory
  • Discovery of the Electron -> 1897
  • Discovery of the Nucleus -> 1911
  • Discovery of the Proton -> 1917
  • Discovery of the Neutron -> 1932
  • Plum Pudding Model of the Atom

Accretion

Gravity governs the scale of big, but in the early solar system, small dust particles are as attracted to clump up by static charge as they are by gravitational attraction. How could you demonstrated this in a high school classroom setting?

• Accretion
• Rare Earths

"He Still Talking About Magnets"

• How do magnets work?
  • Minute Physics How to magnetics work
  • Veritasium Magnets

Jason, Gets to his Point

Back to talking about Accretion and how to demo it. Alos what is the correct term to call this, and how to use proper academic vocabulary.

• How a CRT works, w/ Dubstep
• TV Refresh Rates
• 29.97fps
• Etch_a_Sketch

Reformation Day

It's Oct. 31 so it is time to nail a list to the public bulletin board, so twitter. Walther's Wife must correct him when he is wrong; plus the there are many Mel Broke references.

• Reformation Day
• 95 problems, and . . .

Craft

Because Walther is a good podcasting boy, he is really into Craft and tries to get Jason to buy in and try it out.

• Craft
• Machinations of the Inland Sea

Games we are Playing

What is becoming a recurring segment on the show, we rap up by talking about the games we are playing. The question to be asked, will Jason and Walther ever be playing the same game?

• What are you playing?

Bank Job

Show Opening / Intro

We introduce our two guests today, and establish why we are forming up to do this bank job. Welcome Pablo and Mabel.

Follow Up © John Siracusa

I try to troll Jason about his videos and call back to transcendentalism. Talk diverges to Newton, Mills, and Hobbs and Lock.
There is talk of the Grading and Assessment group at Sunnyside, and remembrance of how Walther and Pablo are great at making friends in the workplace.

No one ever does their homework.

Main Show Topics

Straight To Video Games

We start off trying to take turn with Pablo going first, but it becomes a bit of a free for all, with Walther hogging the conversation. List of games will be found at the end of the show notes.

ACT II

We start off talking about why everyone hates, but Walther hates Stardew Valley. Then Pablo shows off some of the Warhammer figures he has been painting. After a discussion of 3D printers and not encouraging Walther, Jason has a chance to say what phone based games that he has been playing.
We talk of story and what drives us to keep or not keep playing video games, and then there is a discussion of the Witcher 3 game, along with Cyber Punk, and how elements of these stories make Jason and Pablo feel. After bouncing off Factora, we talk about Rouge Like games.

Bring Out YOur Dead

We go once more around the microphone and talk about any games that we might have missed. Of course we then start talking about D&D, and why Drist is OP. Then we find out that Mable is clueless about DragonLance. Spelljammer was Walther's Jam.

Phenomena

Mah Nà Mah Nà”
What video game podcast would not be complete without a discussion of what our spirit muppets are. From Statler and Waldorf, Sam the Eagle, Ralph the Dog.

• Verge Zelda TimeLine
• The Original NES came out in October of 1985 for the American Market.

Link Gets on the Marquee

Not all Zelda games are instant classics or dearly beloved, so we must talk about The Adventures of Link and it is placed in the Cannon.

• Zelda CD-i
• Dragon Lair Laserdisc
• Theodore Rex
• Mario Movie
• [Pro Stars])(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProStars)

Back On Topic

A few strangler topics here as the crew gets back on topic.

  • Din
  • Nayru
  • Farore
• Goddess of Time
• Zelda TimeLine
  • About Zelda
  • Timeline

## Skyward Sword
After a brief discussion the game play, or at least mechanics of play of Skyward Sword, there is a discussion of Wii Motion plus.

• Okami
• Samurai Champloo
  • Mugan
  • Jin
• Samurai Jack
• AR Mario Cart
• Top Four Mario Kart Levels

Zelda in 2000's

We cover the three Zelda releases of the 2000's Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess. We start with a discussion of Ocarina of Time, and why Sarah thinks it's half finished game and Majora's Mask is a better game. The use of dream as a adjective confuses Jason, but Sarah and Walther are able to set him straight.

• Cheeto, the Cat
• Ura Zelda
• N64 Disk Drive
• Link's Awakening
  • Wind Fish

What in the middle?

• King of the Red Lion
• Game Boy with Wind Waker
• Navi

Is Link a Hot Snacc?

Two more games to go, this time we talk about Twilight Princess, the most Goth of all the Legend of Zelda games. This launches us into brief discussion of unrealistic portrayals of women in video games and a longer discussion about Zelda gender fluidity in Ocarina of Time.

The Best Zelda Game?

Walther asserts that Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda Game, despite its lack of a story. Sarah and Walther put the hard sale on Jason that he needed to play this game. The conversation flows to what makes this game so great, including in huge tracts of land, and how there is not one correct way to play the game. This Zelda is the best, because it lets you do what you want.

• Korok Seeds
• The Map
• Fantasy island
• Breath of the Wild II Trailer
• Hyrule Warriors
  • Trailer One
  • Trailer Two

Zelda's Ugly Smile

Walther asks the question, where we are happy with the end of Breath of the Wild, and what does not line up more with his Fan Fic. Again there is the hard sale to Jason, telling him you can ride a bear. As with all things on the internet the discussion falls into speculations of the future and what does half a second of footage in a trailer mean.

• Link's Hand?
• Blood Moon

Jason once again comes back to the main theme of this show. He can't let it go on what Walther thinks is a movie. We get to the theme of this episode, our disagreement over the fifth element. Jason does not catch on, but Walther keeps rattling off movies that he has seen. Walther still holds Fifth Element as an 80's action movie / romance movie.

This is a long one, and good one. Carl goes on a long tirade about accuracy and precision,
