Failcast Episode 22: Drama, Bannings, and the Art of Using Tears as Lube
FAILCAST | 4:43 PM on 01.09.2009 28 comments




Failcast is coming at you this week with a super-sized episode, in which we tackle as much of last weekend's drama as possible. Get caught up about why people were hugging so much and where a few Dtoid accounts disappeared to, then listen as our host Yashoki discusses the current state of the Destructoid community with King3vbo, Necros, long-time absent Failcast member Charlie Suh, and this week's special community guest Itemforty. Dtoid editor Samit Sarkar also drops by the show later in the episode.

We recommend you check out Necros' list of resolutions to add some context to the show. Also, we <3 Niero and all the editors, even if Jim Sterling is too tired to come on the show.

Outline of Fail:
02:15 - Doritos reserves are critically low
07:45 - Nintendo has no idea what to do with release dates
17:15 - King3vbo is an old man, get off his lawn
23:00 - We move onto the main topic: What happened last weekend! (From your questions)
28:45 - Itemforty has a very contrary opinion
32:40 - An example of a really bad blog
38:10 - Item distills the essence of commenting - sadly
40:10 - Where is the line for what is fail and what is not?
49:55 - Menstrual metaphors
55:15 - The mentioned forum thread
63:00 - Found out that editor emails are hidden because of spam/trolls; [editorname]@destructoid.com works
65:05 - So about Ron...
71:55 - Why do bans completely remove everything a banned user has done?
79:00 - Surprise guest substitution!
84:40 - Samit weighs in on last weekend
93:00 - The divide between the cblogs and forums
97:45 - The Adventures of Yashoki (as narrated by Samit)
103:50 - Meme blogs are fun, but they don't show up that often
107:10 - Riser Glen drops by the show to say goodbye

Music Credits:
OP: Grant Kirkhope and Robin Bealand - Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts Theme
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts OST
ED: Sarah McLachlan - Angel


If you download just one Failcast this year...well, I guess I'd say listen to this one, but seeing as we're not even halfway through January, that would be very depressing for us.

Protip: When you have a career and a wife and a kid to look after, it's difficult to hang around after waiting fifty minutes for someone to call you. I know for some people, these concepts are bizarre and alien, but it's true! Other humans have lives. Weird I know, right?

Of course, I now know the prevailing attitude that I'll be met with on this show, so it is definitely the last time I ever offer to be on it.

You guys have no idea what you are taking about. Heretic wasn't banned for saying he could troll anywhere, he was banned because Niero was upset he missed the old Destructiod. You shouldn't really listen to rumors and its obvious you don't know what your talking about (you could've just read Niero's comments and gotten some idea of what he said). All Heretic said was that he missed the old DToid. Niero was tired of Heretic always saying that and then proceeded to ban him simply because Heretic missed the good ole days.

Watanagashi, or rather, Heretic, I'm going to tell you this once: Don't relay messages for Heretic. I know exactly who you are. With that said, that's not why he was banned.

That's ironic coming from the man who won't stop whining.

Wait, sorry, I apologize for that remark.

I didn't mean to call you a man.

Well, I'm glad Samit came on the show again. It's good to see an editor get involved with the community, instead of just dropping out last minute.


Anyways, drama aside, really good episode. I'm glad I finally got around to listening to you guys.

Way to stir a big ol' pot of self-indulgent, community dividing drama.
