Season 1 - Episode 6 10 / 10 / 2020 The Zelda Chronicles None-So-Goth Show Opening / Intro There is a Checklist After a quick check in on the list of responsibilities, we introduce or quest Sarah Testone, Zelda Expert extraordinaire. Ms. Testone Two Degrees Accounting Management Information Systems The Accountant w/ Ben Affleck Main Show Topics Why do we love Zelda? We each take turns explaining why we love the whole Zelda Franchise. Carl Legend of Zelda The Cost of an NES: 200$ Sarah Link to the Past Ocarina of Time < Majora's Mask Jason Octorok List of Zelda Enemies Peahat Pols Voice Zelda as a gateway drug to RPGs Thundercats HO!!!!!!! Jason is confused about Lynel, so Sarah and Walther informant him on what must be one of the toughest and scariest enemies in Zelda. Lynel Skyrim Giant ## Burning Bushes in The Wilderness Walther talks about the Zelda TimeLine and going back and playing the original Zelda game. There is some talk of RPGs and the value of video games. Verge Zelda TimeLine The Original NES came out in October of 1985 for the American Market. Link Gets on the Marquee Not all Zelda games are instant classics or dearly beloved, so we must talk about The Adventures of Link and it is placed in the Cannon. Zelda CD-i Dragon Lair Laserdisc Theodore Rex Mario Movie [Pro Stars])(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ProStars) Back On Topic A few strangler topics here as the crew gets back on topic. Link to the Future? Puck Man Zelda Bedtime Stories Jason asks the import question, what is the main story arc of all of the Zelda Franchise, and Sarah delivers. Skyward Sword Three Goddess in Zelda Din Nayru Farore Goddess of Time Zelda TimeLine About Zelda Timeline Hyrule Historia ## Skyward Sword After a brief discussion the game play, or at least mechanics of play of Skyward Sword, there is a discussion of Wii Motion plus. Then Walther totally butchers the name of and characters in a most excellent anima. We then move on to Samurai Jack and AR Mario Kart and Zelda in the Mario Kart franchise. Okami Samurai Champloo Mugan Jin Samurai Jack AR Mario Cart Top Four Mario Kart Levels Zelda in 2000's We cover the three Zelda releases of the 2000's Majora's Mask, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess. We start with a discussion of Ocarina of Time, and why Sarah thinks it's half finished game and Majora's Mask is a better game. The use of dream as a adjective confuses Jason, but Sarah and Walther are able to set him straight. Cheeto, the Cat Ura Zelda N64 Disk Drive Link's Awakening Wind Fish What in the middle? Walther starts off by failing the challenge of naming the three parts of the Triforce. Then the disgusting switches to what is in the middle of the Triforce. But we get back on track talking about Majora's Mask. Triforce Power Wisdom Courage Majora's Mask Five Stages Of Grief Denile Anger Bargaining Depression Acceptance Pirates Life For Me We start raping up the episode by talking about Wind Waker, one of Walther favorit games. Jason gives us a live demonstration as to why this game was so controversial. King of the Red Lion Game Boy with Wind Waker Navi Is Link a Hot Snacc? Two more games to go, this time we talk about Twilight Princess, the most Goth of all the Legend of Zelda games. This launches us into brief discussion of unrealistic portrayals of women in video games and a longer discussion about Zelda gender fluidity in Ocarina of Time. The Best Zelda Game? Walther asserts that Breath of the Wild is the best Zelda Game, despite its lack of a story. Sarah and Walther put the hard sale on Jason that he needed to play this game. The conversation flows to what makes this game so great, including in huge tracts of land, and how there is not one correct way to play the game. This Zelda is the best, because it lets you do what you want. Korok Seeds The Map Fantasy island Breath of the Wild II Trailer Hyrule Warriors Trailer One Trailer Two Zelda's Ugly Smile Walther asks the question, where we are happy with the end of Breath of the Wild, and what does not line up more with his Fan Fic. Again there is the hard sale to Jason, telling him you can ride a bear. As with all things on the internet the discussion falls into speculations of the future and what does half a second of footage in a trailer mean. Link's Hand?

Season 1 - Episode 4 Description Jason and Walther have established some responsibilities upfront before launching into what becoming a theme for this podcast Racism. Namely the racism in how the Obama administration is viewed. The second topic of the episode is almost as contentious as Jason argues with Carl over his indifference to teaching facts in the classroom.

My Cousin's IMDB Page Grip Ax Walther Given that Jason has no Question for me this time, we launch right into some heavy questions. Main Show Topics We are living in America. Why do people hare Obama? Why do some people say that president Obama is one of the worst in history? Right off the bat we get into a heavy conversation, Walther feels like he is not prepared for this, but Jason presses him to answer anyway. In the end it comes down to racism.

BlackBody Radiation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_body) (http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/bbrc.html) Alternative To Blooms More Graph talks How Lord Kelvin Did it.

Jason and Walther talk about movies, or mostly why Walther is Critical of movies. Jason demands that Walther walk him though this failure of understanding multiple times through the episode, but in the end is left being told to pound sand. There is a little wood talk in the middle, and Jason closes up with a good discussion about the path to success and how to present that as a model to students. Show Opening / Intro Tradition It would not be a proper show if Jason did not have to go make his cup of right after we start recording. So let the tradition continue. Boats in Peril Yakima Training Center Million Dollar HighWay Follow Up © John Siracusa Janus Gemini Politics and the English Language That's so Metal Walther talks about how he go the borough idea of strength vs density of metals wrong, and we learn a bit of latin.

We start the first of the three main topics of this week’s show. Like a dog with a bone, this topic never dies and we keep coming back to what is a good movie and what is a fun movie. Netflix Disk In the Mail Mulan Godfather Citizen Kane Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Raindrops Keep Dropping on my Head Stay on Target A ragtag group of podcaster is un able to stay on a single topic for long, and start talking about Affinity software again, but don't worry the topic of movies will come up again.

Show Topics The Main Show* Given that the main topics of the show already started in Follow up this chapter marker is just here for formality sake. The conversation starts off with how to name the show and how much hubris is in the name. The Know-It-All and Optimist Podcast vs The Know-It-All and The Optimist What is Movie? Jason once again comes back to the main theme of this show. He can't let it go on what Walther thinks is a movie. We get to the theme of this episode, our disagreement over the fifth element. Jason does not catch on, but Walther keeps rattling off movies that he has seen. Walther still holds Fifth Element as an 80's action movie / romance movie. There is some confusion over who is the star of the movie. Twenty Rules for Writing Detective Stories "The reader must have equal opportunity with the detective for solving the mystery. All clues must be plainly stated and described." Deus Ex Machina Ghost in the Machine Liquid Television MTV Anon Flux Heavy Metal Ralph Bakshi Fire and Ice Wizards Fifth Element A Podcast About Muppet Movies John and Merlin talk about what is a good movie.

Ship Names Turbinia Dreadnought Viper Cobra More Movie Titles Tombstone Young Guns Princes Brides But that is a story for another day. This is the Way The conversation shifts to the Mandalorian and how it is best viewed. Talking about this gets them into a conversation about space battle and the laws of Physics. Space Westerns Mandalorian Outlaw Star Babylon 5 Epic Chair Quest Walther tells of his trip to IKEA as a metaphor of the times we live in. But quickly the conversation turns to what can and can not be asked of your child inside your own house. Walther steers the ship back to our current dark future. Large problems take collective actions not individual responsibility. Individual vs. Collective Action Efficacy How good are Mask Math of Mask N95 Physics Your Results may Vary Jason talks about his success in engaging people in his circle in political conversations. Walther brings up Nazis so by the rules of the internet loses the argument. Jason claims that "The Rock'' is a good movie.

Jason has been Walther to do daily pushups, and Walther challenges Jason to join him in Inktober. Walther has ideas on how to make his Inktober Post something special and he has found people to make music for him.
