Anime Sickos

Folks, we have been trying for ages to get enough raw material for a classic posting episode but it just isn't happening. The well is dry. The thing about the posts is that now, they suck ass. Everyone is stuck in a rhetorical quagmire, nothing new is being introduced into the ecosystem, and the freaks who previously provided goofy spectacle are now very scary as they are all now allowed and encouraged to publicly engage in Nazi thought. We hate it! Thanks to Cohen Edenfield for being this episode's guest co-Sicko!

Hello Sicko fans.   If you are a dedicated listener you know that for a long time Joe has been struggling with chronic pain due to a hip impingement and labral tear. Basically his shit is so fucked up and it hurts all the time, and the only solution is a lot of physical therapy, which does not really solve the day-to-day pain issue.    If you have experienced chronic pain, especially pain that can peak unexpectedly and without warning, you know that it makes it extremely hard to plan things. When you hurt all over, the kind of extended mental focus that was once effortless can...

This guy is one of the all time guys. The vibes on this one are simply stunning

Anime Sickos

The Sickos go on and on about the classic 1982 spoof show Police Squad. Its film version, The Naked Gun, is much more successful and well-known, but the TV sitcom original is where this kind of humor shines brightest. As appreciators of comedy, the Sickos really go nuts over the craftsmanship on display. What a show!

The Sickos have the answer: We live in Corpse World, a post-function existence where the concept of "doing" has been phased out entirely. Intrigued? Yeah bitch I know it's brilliant.

We return to our ongoing project to rank all game mechanics, but when it comes to the immersive sim and fighting game genres, we don't have the expertise required to make those decisions. So we had Josh Boerman from the Worst of All Possible Worlds podcast join us to help us with the imsim mechanics and our buddy Dylan (aka Jordi from Sicko Shock 2) do the fighting game ones. What's better than this: homies chilling and yapping about video games baby Check out Josh's podcast here:
