Ghost of Slave Labor, or, Your Japan World Cup Preview

Oh good, we're off to the races with a Ghost of Tsushima joke. Which, after hearing about the premise and reading the history, I can tell you with certainty after watching Senorita Weaselo play about 3 hours and then getting sidetracked with another game (twice), ends in the original definition

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: A (Shoehorned) World Cup Preview in Tunisia

(It was birthday week, and rehearsal Friday, concert Saturday, gig Sunday, gig Monday. At some point we will go back to our regularly scheduled musings and Marble League reviews. Like HOLY SHIT THE PINKIES ARE STILL IN 1ST THROUGH 6 EVENTS. The Pinkies. The Pauls of the Marble League. Also,

Wumbo Wednesday with Weaselo: Your Marble League Rolldown 2022 Preview!

Yeah, I may still be dragging my feet on the Beaties, to the point that the BattleBots 2022 event (World Championship VII) has actually concluded filming! (Air date TBD) But it's also the time of year for the other non-human sport we follow, the Marble League! It's been a busy year

Wumbo Wednesday: TWIFY 2—Own Team Edition!

I was really looking forward to an LCS recap and Game 7 preview, because everyone knows that Game 7s are the best things in sports, unless your team is involved, then it's a monumental stress ball. But the only offense that came out of New York was the fans pelting noted

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: This October in F*** You (ALCS Edition!)

Ah yes, the matchup that most people care about but also absolutely despise, those fuckers vs. those cheating fuckers. "Hooray!" said almost nobody outside of New York and Texas. Considering it's their third ALCS meeting in the last six years (and fourth playoff meeting in the last eight), I guess you

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Previews and Last Reviews

Let's actually start with the latter. I was all set to do the Beaties this week (though that would apparently require time to think about and write the thang ding), but then BattleBots dropped this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gk0fgYlaack I'm not going to do a full play-by-play because you can just watch the thang ding—erhem,

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: Not Quite Sunday Gravy

Evening lizard peo—*gets message through earpiece*—Wait, really? I knew it was an Illuminati joke, but… ahh, I gotcha. Damn bigots, it's why we can't have nice things. Fine, though that does kill a long-running bit, but we're nothing if not trying to be better people. Anyway… For your reading pleasure tonight…

Wumbo Wednesday With Weaselo: The Edge of History

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIYhP9iZHss Whoever it was who liked my RNG goddesses Anna joke from way back when, here's another Fire Emblem joke. You're welcome. No, I said the edge of history, goddammit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBMdLj0bx8g No word on whether they steal the Declaration of Independence. …Not quite. Fuck it, start again. So last week you may have mentioned I un-errored

BattleBots Beat: ZAAAAAAADOK THE PRIEEEEEEEST

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waTzBd5lTHQ …With a name like BattleBots: Champions, it's been right there this whole time. Also, bonus points because I've been sitting on this title since, like, last Thursday, when there was still a Queen of England, and not a coronation in the waiting, and the British monarch uses Zadok the Priest.
