500 Words: Geekdom
Kevin's suggestion for this week's 500 Words was, I think, to talk about geek trends I liked or didn't like or something. I suppose I could go back and listen to the podcast, but I'm late as it is! Between Mass Effect 3 and my new job, we're lucky to even have an internet to look at!
I came to terms with my geekdom years ago. It's my lot in life: wear glasses, play video games, and generally fail at anything athletic. I'm okay with it. In another world, maybe I'd toss a football around instead, but as is, I'll continue to make my way through life with my +3 Sad Geek Soul of Nerdom... But that doesn't mean I agree with every geek thing in the world.
Just as it would be wrong to say that every Asian person has a tiny wiener and drives like shit, it's wrong to generalize about the things that geeks are into. There are plenty of things that, as a geek, I'm supposed to revere, but just can't bring myself to do it. For instance, the Lord of the Rings books/movies/merchandising-opportunities. Yes, of course the movies were badass. It's kind of hard to make an action-packed sweeping-epic poorly, though I suppose it does happen.
Honestly, though, I've read or watched a bajillion things that were entirely derivative of the LOTR phenomenon, but I look at the original as archaic and bland. Here's what I hate about most people, but it's especially true of geeks, we tend to think that what came before, or even what helped indoctrinate us into geekdom, is intrinsically better than whatever slop they're slinging now. But I just don't buy it.
Okay, so I haven't read the Game of Thrones series personally (I'll get to it someday, I swear!) but I know that it's got a hell of a lot more fucking in it than Tolkien's books. And if there's one thing I think every person on the world will admit to, it's that more fucking is better than less fucking (maybe the up-tight folks of the world won't be completely on the same page with this, but I think their attitudes would change if they just got a little more action).
This attitude among nerds is ridiculous. The SNES was not intrinsically better than the XBOX. In fact, if Doc Brown ever gets his flux capacitor working IRL, I'd love to see the look on my 11 year-old self's face if I showed him what Skyrim looks like. If I offered that kid a choice between playing Skyrim or Faxanadu, I'm willing to bet that he'd piss himself with glee before he could even get his Dorito-dust encrusted hands onto the 360 controller. That enthusiasm is the problem.
When we were younger, we just liked shit. We liked it so much! In a time of our lives when we couldn't have everything, we kind of had to love anything we were able to get our mitts onto and that meant loving the shit out of games that really were pretty shitty. Yes, at the time The Legend of Zelda was bad ass, but anyone who tells you the original is better than Skyward Sword is completely full of shit and should go choke on a Triforce.
Also, Anime is dumb and Star Wars is over-rated.

FHG Podcast 051: Oscar Worthy Fighting Game Sexism
Almost a full year ago, the Funny and Handsome Guy podcast was born, with an episode about the debacle of the Oscars. That episode has been lost to the ages, but we return full circle to the Oscars this year. Were they the same debacle under Billy Chrystal's helm? Then we talk about the sexism controversy brewing within the Fighting Game community, and whether its "just the community" or a deeper issue altogether.

500 Words: Semantics
The following is the inaugural edition of a new weekly blog feature where Funny and Handsome Guy Mark writes 500 words about a topic of our listeners choosing. Make sure to put your suggestions for next week's topic in the comments, or tweet them to @fhgpodcast.
Semantics.
What can I say about semantics that some tool won't flippantly dismiss as semantics?
Semantics is actually the study of meaning, or at least that's what Wikipedia tells me. They actually said a lot more about semantics too, but it's Wikipedia, so I'm going to assume it's all nonsense and Brony posturing. I can understand why people would spend their time talking about the meaning of words, trying to distill them down to their platonic ideals. After all, there are only so many times you can watch "Arrested Development" on Netflix to remind yourself that you're smarter than everyone else (for the record, I completed my 6th complete viewing a few weeks ago).
With marketing like this, it's a wonder nobody watched it...
Semantics has primarily become a way for people to try to win arguments. If there was an argument as to whether or not Batman had super powers, either side could just yell "SEMANTICS!" and storm off feeling like they were a genius. Because Batman's abilities aren't "super"-natural so they aren't really "super" but his abilites are above an average human's, and considering that the internet tells me one defintion of "super" is "very good", you could say that Batman's skills at detectiving and scowling and gadgetizing are all "very good," you could say that he does have super powers. So both sides are right because of semantics, but the first one to say it's a semantic argument actually loses by demonstrating that he's a douche who doesn't want to have a fun discussion about badass super heroes.
This guy definitely has super powers.
The problem is that meaning is subjective and let's be real, there aren't more than a handful of things in the world that we can all agree on. For instance, "Two and a Half Men" (or "Two Men and a Boy", as I've been known to call it) was once the most popular television show in America. A show that relied on tired premises that were retreads of television tropes that were refined over 50 years of greatness only to be mugged through by an ego maniacal self-proclaimed wizard, Ducky, and a fat kid. I'm not going to argue that fat kids aren't funny (it's the one thing we can thank bullies for. If fat kids didn't have to develop humor as a self-defense mechanism, we wouldn't have the Chris Farley Chippendale sketch, Bluto in “Animal House, or the comedy stylings of Earthquake) but “Two Men and a Boy” was a step back for comedic arts.
You're laughing already, I can feel it!
Even still, ALL THOSE PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT SHIT WAS FUNNY! How many times can we laugh at a middle aged man trying to fuck anything with tits and a willing hole? Apparently a lot if “we” doesn't include me. In the semantic argument as to whether or not “Two Eighties-Stars and a Kid Who Will One Day Be Pissed that Everyone Remembers Him as The Fat Kid in that Bullshit Show With that 'Winning!' Jackass” is funny, it all comes down to what your definition of “is” is.
God bless semantics.
This concludes this week's 500 words... Don't forget to leave your suggestions for next week's topic in the comments or tweet it to @fhgpodcast...mabye throw in the hashtag #500words so we can be all trendy!

Just a quick note...
The movies "Stripes" and "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" and the actress Sara Stone are all amazing and any evidence to the contrary is bullshit and hearsay.
