9ES318: Giga Banger

by jorn on September 6, 2024 at 8:54 am

If the hosts of 9ES were stranded on the International Space Station because they were Boeing Starliner astronauts hearing strange pinging noises outside of the airlock there would literally be only one person we would want to be stranded with.

You can also better believe that we would keep doing the podcast from space. “The 9to5 Entertainment System: IN SPACE” has a nice ring to it.

I hope that when the three of us are in our 80s space tourism has advanced to the point where it’s feasible that we can make the dream of podcasting this show from space a reality. Stay tuned for episode 1320 – where we are in space.

I really wish there was a version of the introduction to Chinese Grand Finals of League of Legends where there wasn’t a streamer talking over it for you to appreciate the full majesty of the pageantry involved, but I couldn’t find one. I barely looked, but I still couldn’t find one. There are people in robes making special hand signs, a full orchestra, the trophy descending from the sky like Shawn Michaels… it’s spectacular.

I think the only thing that would make it better would be if the players themselves took to the stage wearing special team coloured robes as they took the stage. But no – they are just in special track suits.

Make it more like wrestling please.

All that to say it’s the time of year where Jon is watching highly competitive League of Legends and we do our best to try and contextualize why it’s cool. The back half of this episode is dominated by breaking down the gigabangers of the League Of Legends North American LCS Finals this past week.

GIGABANGERS.

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time… there is no Garbage Time! Due to scheduling and Scott maybe having Covid-19 we couldn’t get a GT in for your listening pleasure. Instead we’ve re-uploaded one of our very first hard-to-find episodes: 9ES Episode 7 – Our Tabletop Gaming Origin Stories. I listened to about 5 minutes of this episode and the audio quality and the general lack of quality all around is pretty cringe. There’s a good amount of toot-talk right off the top. That’s why it’s behind a paywall. Subscribe and find out just how bad it is! If you would like to show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time that would be appreciated.

9ES284: Give Us More Krang

by jorn on April 20, 2023 at 4:55 pm

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting

I cannot stress this enough: watch John Wick 4. It is unparalleled as an action film.

So, peeling back the curtain a little bit, let me tell you that I (Keith) normally write these blurbs and then Jono posts them.

However, this week Jon sent me a blurb about the LCS Spring playoffs and I thought I would share:

“Who caught LCS finals this weekend?
GG smashed FlyQuest in a hilariously unsurprising upset. I feel so bad for those guys, how do you feel good when you lose to momentum and nothing else?
Sure GG was a bunch of semi-washed out vets on the miracle run you knew had to face the music but they did take a match off of C9 in the grand finals and that’s better than anyone expected from them.
They gave Fudge the MVP for the series. Ok, he beat Kennen as Renekton and had the 4 man Malphite ult, sure. Consider: EMENES the only mid with the balls to field assassin types (Leb and Akali in the finals!), but also C9 won the 3 games EMENES won lane and lost the game he lost whereas (until the Olaf game) Fudge mostly went even but then had a flashy play or three.
it actually feels like C9 has the talent to perform at MSI this year (not like GG or FlyQuest who will embarrass NA again) but I’ve been disappointed by NA teams at MSI so many times before I’m completely numb to any hype.”razy amount of drama this season and tons of great matches; it’s a shame League is so niche the quality of the product is at a peak as viewership declines.”

If that sounds cool to you – then boy the last 15-20 minutes of this podcast will get your motor running.

We also talk about D&D Honor Among Thieves and Scott watched that new Ant-Man movie about ants.

Also, totally unrelated to this podcast, here is something I can’t stop thinking about:

So this is fascinating – basically a shitty mobile game has run a series of over 300 ads that seem to build the lore and reference an *entirely different game* that doesn’t exist.

These weird creepy ads for Evertale have popped up all over my feed and I had already heard that they in fact had nothing to do with the actual game but I had no idea how far the rabbit hole went.

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time we talk about hockey and baseball because we are real sports boys. If you love sports (sports!) then show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time!

9ES281: Plastic Bag Plastic Bag

by jorn on March 14, 2023 at 9:46 am

Posted In: 9ES, Podcast, Podcasting, Uncategorized

The Montreal podcast that provides hot takes on HBO’s Last of Us, Ron DeSantis and Terrifier 2 all in one place is back!

I think the hottest take is when Keith posits that Aliens might actually be a zombie movie. It’s not a great take but it is certainly hot and spicy.

I think we can summarize our take on Ron DeSantis as “wut.” From the outside looking in you can’t help but wonder how can the guy who is running Florida might end up running the country?

It’s Florida.

Where Florida Man is from.

We really need to set a date for when we do the list re-rank but until then let me assure you: there’s still plenty of time to let us know what movies you want to see get re-ranked on The List so please let us know your picks using this handy little survey. Since we’re too cheap to buy the premium survey features we are making due with what we’ve got so that means you have to pick at least 1 movie from each question, and at most 5 from each. So you need to pick 2 to 10 movies we should consider re-ranking. Use the comment boxes to explain yourself.

If this survey is too clunky for you, just find Scott and message him your picks.

Or DM us on Twitter, Instagram or FB:

Meanwhile over on Garbage Time, Keith is joined by Sarah from the Osheaga Podcasts! You know Sarah! We talk about reality TV and some shows we’re watching (like Last of Us again!).

If all that sounds like the best (because it is), show your support and head over to Patreon and subscribe at the 9ES Deluxe tier to listen to this and all past episodes of Garbage Time!

Jon and I ran this episode duo this time around. The wee baby Archer was sick and Sophie was off being a pro-star makeup artist. So we compensated by talking about Dawson’s Creek. That’s how we do, enjoy the show everyone.

9to5 Entertainment System 13: Remember That Time With Those People?

It’s time for another episode of 9ES! Woo! After the flood of Fringe related Go Plug Yourselves this is surely a breath of fresh water. That doesn’t make any sense. Forget it.
