The video companion piece to Episode 5. Same audio, but with scenery.

Okay, let’s finish up the friends topic Greg wussed out on last time. Also: sittin’ in a field! Bein’ scoped out by possibly attack birds! Becoming an unwilling home for who knows what kind of parasites!

Decided Guitar Hero “expert” wasn’t good enough, so I moved up to “double expert” — only looking at the screen for parts of it. Maybe later I’ll move up to “triple expert” — playing a real damn guitar instead.

This is what I mean about fighting my perfectionistic nature. After I recorded this, I thought eh, I better not upload it, I kinda messed up a few parts, and I had to look at the screen for a few of the interlude bits. But man! What the hell was I griping about, many people can’t even play the game this well while looking at the screen. This is pretty awesome as it is.

Greg risks life and car by talking about friends while driving, then risks sanity and well-being by getting all maudlin about it. Now with 30% more angst!

Greg talks about breaking down his boundaries, and kicks ’em in the teeth by inviting his grandboss to his house to talk on the podcast.

Greg sort of loses it a little in a caffeine-fueled work rant, and reveals his deep-seated anger with easel pads. Not so much awesome as a plea for awesome.

I have episode 2 done, but due to Reasons, I’m waiting until sometime during the week to release it.

In which Greg explores the origins of the podcast, and the origins of himself by talking to his parents. (Did you know the neighborhood kids paid him a quarter to spell “encyclopedia” when he was two years old? Neither did he!! But it’s true!!!)
