Sad trombone.

I’ll post an update soon, but my voice is not cooperating. Sadly, I don’t think I can do these anymore. As a kind of test, I’ve been trying to record playthrough videos of boardgames, when I can go at my own rate, when I can pause and take a break. And even that is too much, too difficult, too frustrating and disheartening. Basically, I can talk in discrete sentences just fine, but I don’t think I can do paragraphs anymore. :(

And just to make things even more irksome, we actually “recorded” a Prey podcast! No -opsis – I think Kelly thought it was too dumb – and the actual recording date was delayed several times because I was too sick and Kelly had a lot of work. But we eventually talked about Prey, which neither of us liked. We both disliked the lead actor, we both hoped for more Comanche-ness, and I think we’re both unimpressed by videogame CG cutscenes anymore. I talked about Beast and Prey (the Peter Weller one), which are two “family in a jeep attacked by lions” movies, both of which are terrible. Kelly was newly obsessed with Looker, a crappy Michael Crichton movie from the 80s. It was a sort of general catch-up podcast, and we ended by committing to a Barbarian podcast, because Kelly hadn’t seen it yet and I really wanted him to, and I figured if we announced a Barbarian podcast, he’d have to see it. It would sure beat having to talk about Bullet Train! Yeesh. I mean, what is there to say beyond “Man, Aaron Taylor Johnson nailed that audition for a Guy Ritchie movie!”

So we concluded the episode and I went to stop the recording and I realized I had never even pressed the “record” button.

So that’s now our forever-lost podcast. I think we also lost one way back for some Vin Deisel movie? So at least two forever-lost podcasts. Kelly and I have both gone through stages of being angry about the lost Preycast, but neither of us has made a move to resume since then, which I don’t think I would physically be able to do anyway.

But I’m sorry for not saying anything sooner. Honestly, I’ve been in a position of just hoping things will get better for so long, that it’s hard to finally let go of that hope, even when there’s no longer any basis for it. So the bottom line is that my voice is probably not going to allow for more podcasting, and I furthermore fucked up the Preycast. I wish I had better news. :(
