Bottle Crow Reborn

I will never doubt Emma again. ...I will doubt Emma again. I wonder if she's ever had giardiniera. Do you think she's Chicagoan? Or Italian? I mean she sounds American, but, I can't narrow down more than that. I do feel Midwest, because the Midwest is generally a pretty neutral accent. And maybe I shouldn't be guessing at all- Emma doesn't want to be found. And I will respect that.

A little holiday cheer goes a bit... too far as we pod for almost two and a half hours. Inside, there are celebrations, there's a little despair, there's Hot, Haz, and Claus, and maybe, just maybe... a little hope. Nah I'm kidding, no hope here. Not our brand.

OR: White Fuge Balmore

It would be a shame to waste a pretty fantastic title, so I put it there, even though the Thankful Episode doesn't get a specific title like that. Y'know, if you add a comma, it could be like... a rare spawn in Final Fantasy XI. "White Fuge, Balmore "

should i play more FFXI? on the one hand, it was kinda impenetrable. but it was also kinda sick. but i don't have much free time. but the time i DO have i mostly waste, and i could probably squeeze in some Vanadiel...

Why is it that the Oreos are the ones in pieces? I thought Reese's had the pieces. Well, what can you do I suppose. You wanna know something funny? After that conversation about how neither of us really care about Hollow Knight Silksong, I was convinced (pretty easily) to give it another shot and I've turned around on it. Cool game. People losing their minds over it are still confusing to me, but the game's ok with me.

It's in my best interest to make these show notes slightly different, for logistical reasons! Fun fact.

Unfortunately, I'm now wary about trying those energy drink jellies. Like. If this is how the pudding one turned out, why would I do that again voluntarily? I could try CC Lemon. Or Vita C.

Now, is premade milk tea BETTER for you? Umm....

What happened once might maybe happen twice. It did in this case at least. Taco Bell held a press event last year, and they did it again. We covered it then, so we're doing it again.

God, it's been so long. How does this go again? "They put out a huge patch for Dota 2 and we talked about it for over two hours." God, the last Patch Notes Special was nine months ago.

I cannot promise you that episode 200 is real, or ever will be. What I can tell you is, we have a plan. We're gonna go into the past. We're gonna tackle... well. For those with long memories and a long history with us (ahem, no one), let's say this... we once tried to record a certain podcast, and failed. It devolved into shouting. It was unpublishable.

We're gonna try again.

But that's ep 200, on this one I just make fun of Nick while he drinks whiskey.

The danger at this point is if I try to invent fictional Taco Bell items to deceive Nick, it'll turn out some of them are real. We've all noticed the rotating roster of Taco Bell ingredients. Beans, cheese, tortilla, beef, chips, nacho cheese, sour cream... the Invoker of the Bell has already whipped together so, so many spells. Independent invention is just a nice phrase for "wasted everyone's time."

It's like Garfield Minus Garfield! Kinda.

Well, you can probably guess what I think of rats. Despite all this, The Game Awards are home to a bunch of game news. What if we watched those trailers at 1.5x speed...

It's a very sincere episode as Nick and I (hi, this is Six, I write these, I think Nick wrote like one? ever?) try to do our normal podcast without resorting to faux anger, hyperbole, or misrepresentation. It's harder than you think, given our relationship.

There's nothing in the title "mixologist" that says it has to be drinks. For that matter, lots of "bars" qualify for "bartending." ...Damn, the speed with which this bit became boring! Anyway.

Ranch dressing. Since time immemorial it has enchanted mankind with its smooth flow and flavor. It is divisive, just as the Mighty Mississippi divides America. "Wings are better with blue cheese," they say. "Fries are better with ketchup," they whine. And sometimes they are right. Well, the ketchup people are. Blue cheese dressing is in fact disgusting and you should feel ashamed of yourself.

Btw, you don't need to tell me the Hello Kitty thing is wrong. You can if you want. I pulled up tabs during the ep, and I left them open, and then looking at them AFTER the show, it was like "huh. No they say that's not true. Well. Ok." I don't really know what that means to be honest. I mean I guess it just means she really is a cat? I guess. Which is kinda the simpler explanation. But it's not very engaging, Sanrio.

We're allowed to talk about Deadlock now! And, fortunately, we want to. That always helps. Plus, there's a new Dota hero- that doesn't happen every day. Hell, it barely happens every year! Actually (squinting at a chart) in 2014 and 2018 we didn't get one! But otherwise, there's been at least one every year since Dota 2 came out. Maybe that'll stop soon! Maybe it SHOULD, judging by the latest release! Just spitballing here.

Now, I have some sympathy for influencers, and then I also have a lack of sympathy in some areas. Part of the blessing of Scanline not paying my bills is, I'm not beholden to audience numbers and such. Bottle Crow's existence was probably a good clue of that. Point is, I can make whatever I want, and also NOT make whatever I want (broadly). An influencer doesn't have that same freedom. The content they produce is in response to trends and demands, and while they absolutely have sway, if they just follow their whims too much odds are they'll...

This was supposed to be a Battle Crow (our monthly bonus Patreon show), but the guidance of Grace deemed it not to be. Press play with your Two Fingers and celebrate with us the start of the Summer of Sour, cracking open a normal one with the boyz, and marveling at the miracle of bagged tea. I hope you brought some Oil Dipping Sticks for snacking.

Bonus points if you tell me (Nick) to "git gud" in the comments.

For a certain subset of our audience, I should probably apologize for the amount of Dota talk this ep. It's... uncouth. We're supposed to be post-Dota, like post-modern but cooler. Well, I am. Nick is still in denial. I just try denial on sometimes, like a nice dress you can only bust out for special occasions.

After EIGHT YEARS, the Hatcast returns! I mean honestly, with such a wealth of quality hats, how could we do otherwise. Bizarrely, impossibly, it seems like Dota is back. Leave it to me to say that not because of a good patch or new hero, but because of cosmetics. Listen, you know what I'm like. Don't pretend to be surprised.

It's just... I mean, I guess 300 is a lot. It's a big number. But even SO I am surprised Giratina made the top 300. Is just every legendary in there? Probably, huh?

Honestly the rumored PSP3 is a bad idea because it'll be more like a Vita 2. And hey. The Vita was fine. I liked my Vita decently well. But the Vita's approach was to basically try to be a home to ports, mostly, and that territory is locked down by the Switch and the Steam Deck now. We don't need that! Now, the PSP had a lot of exclusives, which is to say games specifically designed for the PSP. That's interesting! But the industry doesn't work like that anymore. You just get shittier, worse running versions of the game. You...

In these "show notes", the podcaster, attempting to "tease" elements of the podcast, or to tell some self-indulgent "jokes", offers some out of context references to the recording itself, which, itself questionably funny, only becomes more question vis a vis this separation. Perhaps they think this attempt at comedy suffices to supplement their clueless perspective on modern uses of the terms "passion" and "aroused".

Is it "Azwraith" like "Azure Wraith" because he's got blue skin? Though the "wraith" part is the confusing one. He's not dead. Though apparently a wraith, definitionally, can imply a ghostlike image you see shortly BEFORE your death. So it's like, his doppelgangers are wraiths because they're gonna kill you then disappear? This is really stupid. Dota is stupid, y'all.

Six has not only made had me edit this episode, but now make the actual RSS-thing post that disseminates this vile libel to the broader world. I guess after 6+ years it had to happen eventually. In this installment of Pod Cast we talk Boba, Red Bull, World of Warcraft, and spend a "generous" amount of time with our new best fanfiction friend DotA High School. Bark with me if you're my dogs! Mutts!

....someone tell me how to do a good Carl voice.

Sometimes, you read something and you instantly realize the author is a cishet man, yknow? Obviously I don't know that for a fact, but a third of this week's chapter of Dota High School takes place in the girl's shower room, and it isn't the worst thing in the world? But our author absolutely fails to be normal about this. I suppose I should sympathize? I can't say this is a problem I've ever struggled with.

also personally find the way the story talks about Tresdin to be kinda gross and disrespectful, but what can you expect...

i've already forgotten who the gym teacher is. c'est la vie.

It's a Frostivus Special as we reflect on the year we've had. A little. Mostly we drink tea and scotch, are subjected to garbage tier trivia once more and finally, FINALLY, we go Back To School. Send in YOUR Mirana voice! Hard to imagine it's worse than mine! Happy New Year, perhaps minus the Happy.

THICK. THICK. THICK. THICK. It's time to be thankful, to be sincere, and to regret. Honesty casts a dark shadow, but not as dark as the late Alex Trebek, and his dry dismissals. Three, two, one, mark- open wide for Chunky.

I did a report from the field to tack onto the end of Episode 164 and then forgot it. Have this six minute addendum, not counting bumpers.

The past is a foreign country. But on this episode, we have a passport! ...I'm sorry. That sucked. That sucked! We spend most of this ep looking at Dotabuff. You can tell it's gonna be a riveting ep, hence why these notes are so clever. Whatever, enjoy the ep.

"Ehhh... captain? Puppey?" hazarded Resolut1on, approaching the Monitor's Bane hesitantly.

Team Secret's captain didn't look up from his copy of Sun Tzu's Art of Laning. "Reso. What's on your mind?"

Resolut1on shuffled his feed. "I, uh... well. I've been hearing some of the... stuff. The rumors. You have too, right? About Dota... dying?"

"What about it?" Puppey flipped a page. "Things die, Reso. All we need is to be in a position to profit from it."

"Yes, uh... yes. You're... you're exactly right, captain. But I was... I was...

It's erasure, is what it is. Even ignoring discontinued flavors... Berry Monsoon. Sweet Lightning. Frost Bite. Maui Burst. Atomic Blue. Southern Shock. Uproar. God, I wanna try Uproar. Strawberry kiwi sounds good. I used to drink strawberry kiwi Snapple. Remember Snapple? Real late 90s drink. Early 00s a little? But it died. Purple Thunder. Legend. Overdrive. I guess I'm saying, there's room for more.

This is basically a free episode of Battle Crow? This idea was too weird to not make free to all. Normally, Battle Crow is a podcast where we record whilst playing a game. This time, it's a podcast where we record as we try to get to a point where we're ABLE to play a game.

Yes, as much as I'd like it to be otherwise, Nick managed to drag me kicking and screaming into a Patch Notes Special. Then before we published, the Battle Pass hit, so we had to record an addendum for that too! Maybe next episode will be good. There's always tomorrow.

The phrase "tone deaf" is so misleading. I can HEAR tone just fine. Look at how many things I edit! Not just podcasts, for bumpers I often end up editing music too! Also I used to play trumpet and I was pretty good. No, the issue is the reproduction. For whatever reason, I have great difficulty reproducing tone with my voice. Thus it takes a lot to get me to sing in front of others. Which I guess then just means I don't get practice and it's a feedback loop. Here we are.

I really loved his movie Goose Stew. This time the shoe is on the foot as NICK'S internet acts up, and we struggle to survive an ep with robot voice and other nonsense.

We recorded this one a few weeks back, but even with that excuse, the Bottle Crow fugue state is REAL. I thought for sure we didn't talk about Dota 2 on this one. Wrong. Not correct. But hey I also brought some pretty cool recipes so there's that too.

This episode is coming out today to make up for technical difficulties that have caused us to lose our latest Battle Crow episode. But, insult to injury, this episode itself was a nightmare of technical difficulties too. We did our best regardless. Please enjoy.

We really got Nick on tilt with this one, and with him, all Techies mains. And you know? I have been laughing about it all this time but now, literally right now as I write this and listen to the final draft of the Farewell Techies bumper I made, I am starting to feel bad. Sorry buddies. Like. I didn't like you. I really. Really didn't like you. I kind of hated you. But. This was a rough way to go.

Another Bottle Crow episode? Already?! Listen don't get used to it. I mean do because there will still be ANOTHER one this week. When it rains it pours. Cause it's iodized. Like salt. That's what that is referring to, you know. Uniodized salt clumps up in humidity, such as when it's raining, so then your salt shaker won't pour. When you iodize the salt, you add tiny amounts of iodine to it, and this makes it more resilient to humidity. It won't clump, and thus when it rains... the salt will still pour.

Also iodine deficiency is...

We lost 149. It's dead. Maybe as Nick says I should release the hellish unedited cut of it, but this week is already gonna have too much Bottle Crow so not this week. Behold, this episode we recorded a few weeks ago and I simply forgot to edit and post!

We're saying goodbye to 2021, and that means we have some business to take care of. Some Bellsness as well I suppose. Oh and I guess we're announcing a BRAND NEW PODCAST TOO. So there's that.

I wish that Battle Pass hadn't hit, it ruined all my plans for today. Those plans consisted mostly of sleeping in way way late so I guess it's not the end of the world but I do like sleeping. Sometimes when I get up my first thought is "I can't wait til the day is over and I can go back to bed." Sleep is so good.

Sometimes, when brainstorming, people say "there are no bad ideas." It's ironic that we embrace that philosophy here at Bottle Crow, as ANY bad idea can easily get on the air, but also the very existence of our podcast is proof that it's a DEEPLY untrue thing to say. On this episode, a draft game, a podcast within a podcast, fast food spaghetti, smooth jazz, and more. Suffer with us.
