The second I heard the intro to creative writing tier line about the MC striking his brother and it being all end of the world blah blah blah, I KNEW Wendi would cream his panties about it. I should have also expected him to find a way to botch pronouncing "cataclysmic," but I guess I forgot my bingo card for this one.
Masturbation is a sin, he really should learn that.
Decent episode, felt less phoned in than the last one, but still phoned in. I don't understand how tech issues are always present when presumably both creators make money doing this for a living.
That's pretty much how I felt as well. I have the same basic problem with it that I did with Enscorcelled in the Earth. They're both almost timeless and anachronistic but there's a few lines that could have been skipped or written around that date them. It's not a major problem in either case, even less so this time since all it was was the mention of TVs existing meaning it's at least post-60s (probably in the 80s or 90s would be my guess since the narrator/protagonist is an adult in the now), but just a nitpick that I have for them
ChatGPT, make me an image of an extremely morbidly obese green My Little Pony dressed like a wizard, eating pizza, and farting.
I finished the book.
I feel this way about so many various podcasts. There's one I listen to from time to time that's had the same technical issues for like a decade despite the hosts making a living in radio and audio production prior.
I do think it was leagues better than "I clean hoarder houses for a living" and would argue of the "modern creepypasta" style it's definitely one of the better ones. In fact, I quite liked part 1 but agree it dragged on thereafter; He definitely needed an editor to tell him to compress it down to maintain the sense of intrigue throughout.
I swear, it seems that they have read a dozen stories about le evil church with evil religious cult people out in the forest at this point. Reddit "writers" think they can make their mediocre stories suddenly scary by slapping a big religious theme on top of it, because religion scares them in real life.
Most of these no sleep stories drag on tbh. They always fumble the ball as the story goes on. I think even Hunter mentioned this recently, but it seems like none of these guys ever plan out their stories beyond their initial spooky premises, and it really shows. So they either just sputter out with nowhere to go, or completely jump the shark and start talking about the CIA kidnapping children to create portals to hell.
But will Wendi give in and start streaming high on coke? Will he respond to the superchat by "Cupcakes sucks cope and sneed" 12 times? Tune in next time on Creepcast Z!
