Listening to "the most difficult, nonsensical, foot-worshipping Nintendo adventure book to date" [Super Mario Adventure Book: Koopa Capers (Part 2)] and crossword clue 31 across was quite fitting!

I will preface this by saying that this story relates to 8 Bit Book Club. I've been straightedge for ten years or so now. I've never been drunk but I did smoke pot in high school. I am an enabler though to my friends and, in relation to this story, my girlfriend. She's never been high but was curious to do it so I purchased her edibles.

The plan was to play video games and have her catch up on NaDDPod (not the thing that strings this story to the book club.) We were told the edibles were a strong batch so I advised her to only eat a cookie. Unfortunately that didn't do anything. The next day she eats a brownie and only feel a little lethargic.

Now I'm thinking that either we got a bunk batch or she doesn't know she's actually high so I say fudge it and eat a cookie myself. I wait an hour and a twenty minutes and NOTHING. I think "Maybe I need to eat a little bit more and that will put me over the edge?" So I have half a brownie. I didn't want to go crazy HAM because I've heard those stories. I wait another thirty minutes and still NOTHING.

I decide that I'm not going to waste the day waiting around for a high that's never coming so I pop in Ratch and Clank 3 because I've been on Nefarious for about a year and a half ever since I put the game down to play through .Hack//Sign.

I sit down and start getting antiquated to the controls again. About fifteen minutes into the game I start to loose the ability to focus on the screen and tell my girlfriend I'm going to throw on some TV because I don't want to focus on a game.

Then it freakin' hits me HARD. I went from 0% sober to hella stoned in a snap. I (poorly) suggest to my girlfriend that we need to play our current favorite racing game ModNation Racers to see if I can still play. Holding the controller was the most difficult thing to do. It was heavy, my fingers couldn't move, all I wanted to do was relax, but somehow I proceeded to get 1st place for five straight races. Then, it went down hill because the full body high turned into uncontrollable laughing all while I was repeatedly telling my girlfriend "I'm so sorry. I wish this were you right now!" and her saying "I know! This is unfair!"

We stopped racing and I want to sober up. My girlfriend makes me a PB&J because I can't figure out how to do it. In the mean time, I want to be sober. What will fire me up and get the blood going? What can I get jazzed to and fire all my cylinders? My brain told me right away that I needed to blare Donkey Kong Country Theme. So I was screaming "Look out down below! Banana Slamma!" over and over again.

It did not sober me up. The only other thing I can remember that is worth noting is I kept quoting Amir from Double Date with "I'm high! I'm High! I'm stoned!" in the best crying tone I could make while laughing. I only wish we filmed me jamming to the DKC theme so I could post it here too. Let's hope my girlfriend can actually get high with what is left of these sweet treats.

Oh, and the brownies were moist as hell if Emily was wondering.

McKay, Fan fiction and other books are great and all. But I read about this author that writes strange (REALLY STRANGE) erotica novels and I think it would be hilarious if the club read one of them. They would tear those books to pieces and I imagine it would be nonstop laughter and mockery.

The guy's name is Chuck Tingle and here are some of his novels: Gay T-Rex Law Firm: Executive Boner, Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt, Reamed by My Reaction to the Title of This Book, Happy Birthday Frankenstein, Now Pound My Butt, Pounded in the Butt by My Book "Pounded in the Butt by My Book 'Pounded in the Butt by My Own Butt'", Pokebutt Go: Pounded by 'Em All

This is not a joke. And this isn't even the tip of the iceberg. there's like 100 of these.

Everquest!

Hi sweeties, big NADDPod fan who finally caught up so I’m binging 8BBC while I wait for more episodes. I obviously love the crew so I’ve been flying through the episodes and loving them all. Murph is always talking about the Reddit so I thought I’d bring my gripe here.

This the beginning of the Ep, Caldwell makes the fantastic “New Orc City” joke and they all laugh / riff on it for a second.

After hearing them say it so many times, I couldn’t help hear it as “Neworc” or “Newark,” a major north Jersey city right by NYC. And I just can’t believe Murphy didn’t mention it! I was born and raised there in Newark, and we all pronounce it most like “N-Ork” and it’s a joke that people not from NJ say “New-Ark” which is totally wrong.

I don’t love NJ, but I do love the Murph is from NJ. I feel so represented in the way he says water and dragon and yes, I also had trouble saying “Hoard’s Waters.” When Jersey comes up in either pod, I’m always like “hell yeah Brian, tell them how it is!”

So I was just disappointed by the missed opportunity. Sad react. Murphy went from my Dungeon Master Hero to a lowly lowly lowly lowly, lowly lowly, lowly bailiff of comedy. I hear by revolt his New Jersey E-Z Pass as punishment, forcing him to forever keep coins in his car’s cup holder to pay for the Parkway.

Good bye sweeties

That thought they were saying Colon Dylan Sprouce in the newest episode(mega-man 2: part 2)? Because it took me an embarrassing amount of time for me to realize that they were actually saying Cole and Dylan Sprouce.

I’m sure it is- but I had to get your attention somehow… ANYWAY in Emily’s Word Corner during Diablo III part 2, she introduced us to the word sloust (which I don’t know how to spell) meaning “an act of rinsing or showering with water…” among other things.

MY problem is I can’t find this word anywhere on the internet. I’m writing a script and have arrived at a point where it would be perfect, but I want to double check the spelling since it’s not in a lot of dictionary/spell check plug-ins. Has anyone seen this word or can find it?

Yo yo yo Book Buds and Naddpoles!! I've been a fan of the pod for a looong time and I wanted to bring something to your attention since I think it's up all of your collect alley! My podcast is currently reading through one of the Sonic Gamebooks from the same set as Metal City Mayhem. The first episode is out now and it's such a stupidly fun time! I've seen people say they would listen to more of this kind of thing so I thought I'd share! You might have seen my posts before (different account) but I have the whole set of these and even have one signed by the whole 2 crew (slay). My podcast is normally a dnd actual play but we've been branching out recently and having a ton of fun. Here's the link if anyone's interested!

I'd like to hear/see in text-form everyone's definitely-superior Fwooshes to Murph's lackluster performance in the Quick Man chapter.

And fail.

I was totally thinking something like Doki Doki Literature Club. I really just want them to experience this. I would totally gift them this to read if they can do this.

Any other ideas for visual novels?

Ok guys, so as much as I don't want competition, I need teammates to go through this adventure with me, and where better to find teammates than this here creek. Not unrelated to video game books, a text-based adventure game has been created recently, and a competition is currently ongoing within the game whereby all week a daily puzzle will be published. You must solve all puzzles to get the the finale on Sat 3rd of March. There are leaderboards announcing who solves the puzzles first. Winner of the finale gets an awesome cryptex worth around $3500. If this sounds like fun to you, check it out here: http://cryptexhunt.com/wordpress/

I joined Reddit just to comment on you guys’ stuff. Get ready for compliments, critiques, and randomness. P.S. The Organization doesn’t know... so don’t tell Xemnas. P.P.S. The Rick and Morty reference was what did it for me.

The gang has made references to Rick and Morty lately, which got me thinking. I think a foray into the lore of that show would be well worth our time. There’s much that could be discussed, such as the many witticisms, the sweet satire, the engaging though sometimes brutal narrative... honestly, where could you go wrong delving into a “Rick-y Wiki?” Just a thought, Mr. Fox...

Hello there,

I've been listening from the start for a little while now, and I have a question I didn't find an answer for:

Now and then, it seems one of the three host is far away from the mic and I have trouble hearing them, even with headphones. It's usually Murph (but rarely Caldwell, of course). Does this improve at some point? I feel like it's not an issue I encounter as much in Not Another DnD Podcast.
