Brianna Wu / John Flynt - DEAGLE NATION STILL LIVES

[GleamingTheQ-Bert]

The content has dried up, hasn't it? Today's just the countdown. 14 hours to go.

What's the Isometric schedule? This episode is dated today https://www.relay.fm/isometric/95 and they claim they "broadcast live" but I don't think they really mean that. Everything else suggests they pre-record and release on Monday mornings.

Good Gawd.

Every new episode of Isometric is all new levels of cringe and try-hard. This one starts with Wu making an extended "joke" for about the first 10 minutes, concerning the oh-so-hilarious "Church of Briannatology" and how the other Isometric hosts will be her disciples, with various thetan levels, as if this is all some very witty satire of Scientology, which of course, since this is Wu we're talking about, it's anything but.

I'm realizing this is an ongoing theme for Isometric, this idea of Brianna's ego, or cultish behavior, or messianic delusions....as a joke. But it's not funny, because it's not presented with any wit and verve, and also because.....well, it's just a bit too close to the absolute stone-cold truth to be funny.

I wonder why Brianna thinks others would find this funny. If she sees herself as a celebrity, with adoring fans, (excuse me, "fandas" *retch*) does she imagine that a star goofing on about their tyrannical presence is funny? Or is this the true Johnny Flynt's Axl Rose-level ego filtered through Brianna's warped idea of what it means to be a woman?

It's interesting; do you remember in Kill Bill 2, Bill goes on with his metaphor about how Clark Kent is Superman's commentary on the human race, and as such is obviously quite critical, suggesting that he sees the human race as weak, cowardly, etc.? By the same token, Brianna Wu is how John Flynt sees women. This stylized, ultra-touchy little tin-pot dictator, with no work ethic, who constantly mocks their significant other, is how John Flynt thinks the ideal woman should be and act.

Doesn't that really tell you everything to need to know about Brianna Wu? The horror that is Wu.....all the most unpleasant and off-putting parts of her personality, those are the idealized concepts of ultimate, fantasized womanhood to Wu.

I don't know about you lot, but if Brianna Wu's personality is how you see women, I think you're a bigger misogynist than all the goobergrapers put together.

Incidentally, Frank screams his head off at about 6 minutes and 15 seconds in for no discernible reason, and is quickly patronized (of course) by Wu.

Who listens to this show other than the occasional masochistic kiwi? Are there actual, non-ironic Isometric fans? It's all in-jokes and glad-handing. Literally. It's like being a fly-on-the-wall for a group of dorky, wannabe tech-hipster friends having a pow-wow: if you're not part of this group....what's the point? None of these people are particularly verbal, have particularly unique or well-defended opinions, or discuss interesting issues in any way. Half of the games discussed have been played by Wu only, though the podcast is ostensibly about games, so.....? I mean, I know it's an airbrushed handjob for Wu, but wasn't this around before Gamergate? Why? It' s almost self-consciously to pad Wu's resume, such as it is.

EDIT: Wu's dogs barking like crazy at 7 minutes in. Such a professional podcast.

EDIT 2: I found a new Wu tick: The ultra-fake "HA!" laugh. Literally, she fake-guffaws "HA!" followed by no laughter.

Another thing is that Flynt isn't a casual or hardcore gamer, those are misnomers that miss the real point: There are "feel entitled to wins" and "lover of challenges" gamers, and Flynt is a solid member of the first camp.

The first group doesn't feel happy with a game unless they are winning most, or, for the extra insecure, all the time. These times of gamers love games with pay to win features since it satisfies their urge to enjoy themselves without that dreading "losing" aspect.

We can see this in Wu's tweets boasting like an 11 year old boy about wins, even on games where Steam doesn't lie and Wu hasn't even played the fucking game. Meanwhile, if Wu plays this kind of shit at all, Wu loses.

Incidentally, Frank screams his head off at about 6 minutes and 15 seconds in for no discernible reason, and is quickly patronized (of course) by Wu.

I'm beginning to think Frank is actually retarded.

We should have a section on the Wiki for Wu's interviews and speeches, because they are full of things to mine for gold.

Little kids do this because they don't know what is funny. Peewee's Playhouse "scream as loud as you can when you hear the magic word" was meant to be commentary, not real advice.

It seems to be Frank's default mode when a camera is on him. "Scream loud, that will be funny!"

Attention: all Kiwis who haven't suffered enough from the recent CWC-sicles episode, start listening at 19:35 to hear Wu's rendition of the Vanilla Ice "Ninja Rap" from TMNT 2.

And then break out the ear soul bleach.

I need to do a compilation of every time we've had Brianna Wu attempt to rap. I have the other one already.

Anyone very knowledgable about ST: Voyager? I'm not, but at about 25 minutes, Wu starts pontificating in her typical solipsistic way about 7 of 9 and how it bothers Wu that people only focus on said character's "physical endowments" (read: titties) when she's such a great actress and "deadly competent" (her words) as well.

This is puzzling to me: Wu affecting a disdain for recognized sexiness that appeals to men presents her as some sort of cold-fish anti-sex feminist, but then we contrast that with the slinky Rev 60 characters and John Flynt, the badonk-a-donk-obsessed peeping houseboy, who likely as not drooled over the "physical endowments" of his employers when not stealing their panties.

I know next to nothing of Voyager or what this says about Wu as a fan in the larger context, but....

Which is it, Wu? Are you a sex-positive feminist, or not?

I might be remembering this wrong, since the last time I watched Voyager was a good ten years ago or so, but...Doesn't 7 of 9 have pretty small tits? And as for acting, 7 of 9 is a Borg. (A member of a robotic hive-mind) So she has no emotions. She's like a super-Vulcan in that she only follows 'logic'. There really isn't much acting going on there.

Just more Brianna talking out her ass.

There are certain episodes where shes not in that mode. The one where she gets multiple personalities of those she assimilated and the one where she finds her parents ship comes to mind.
Of course Star Trek isnt what Id call a show that is the pinnacle of acting. Its kinda 50/50 for good/meh actors

It's 2016, come on Brianna, when is the game coming out?

Next tweet John says "so I have to vote tomorrow"

You also have a game to release before tomorrow. Don't forget. Can someone on Twitter remind her, with a link to the place where she said when it would be released? I don't want her to forget. <3

No, Seven Of Nine had tits. She was an emotionless sex pot. It was Jeri Ryan's first ongoing role, and she was mostly considered eye-candy, but since she it turned out she has good acting chops she made a real acting career for herself.

And yet when someone fact-checks her, she throws a fit and gets them kicked off Twitter.

Look, I'm about one of 10 people in the history of the universe who loved Voyager, and let me just say...nobody likes 7 of 9. She's the epitome of 90s futuristic tits and ass, all silver-suited and useless and pouty-lipped Finding Herself. Basically, imagine someone took the show Reboot and made it sexy and dropped it in the middle of nowhere. That's 7 of 9, and logically that's what Brianna thinks is the platonic ideal of a woman -- knockers and butt and no actual personality.

Nice. It's worth pointing out Wu purposely refuses to name this website or talk about it openly.

Where's the game, John?

 

[BOLDYSPICY!]

I am so pumped I'm going to get the special edition on day one and let's play that too.

I'm a much better typr then circle drawerer so maybe you'll see sum real GAMINH TO YHE EXTREME!

@Smutley , I love you so much. Also, I think you need a microphone because I'm dying to hear commentary.

They have a reason to fear me.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=id=TeMRwekUDD8;list=PLEnMpI2fTYOdk-dBqJsF3Z1ZBrqrehZRq

Yes, @Jaimas , I love you too.

All this talk about games Brianna would & would not play got me thinking---we know she recently hopped on the MGS5 bandwagon, & she's referenced the location of Tselinoyarsk from the first Metal Gear Solid (albeit naming a character that), but has she ever actually sat down & played any of the games?

I was only thinking about this because I totally forgot I had Metal Gear Solid on the old PSP my best friend sent me a while ago, so I started playing it again today for the first time in sixteen years. You know the first part in the game where you have to get to the elevator to go up to the helipad? You know, the start of the game? I died five times trying to relearn the controls. It was shameful. Now, if I'm having trouble---& @Jaimas can vouch that I'm a gaming veteran---how bad can BWu be? Can she even stealth? Would she ragequit at all the card key nonsense?

Because I think if she actually played the game for an extended period of time, it would be her all-time favorite game due to its diversity & STRONG FEMALE CHARACTERS™. Especially since it was so ~*~*progressive*~*~ for its time---I know someone said earlier that MGS in 1998 looked much better than Rev60 in 2016, but it boasts an even more colorful (if you'll excuse the pun) cast.

In the first half-hour or so of the game, you're introduced to:

• Dr. Naomi Hunter, a geneticist who specializes in nanotechnology-based gene therapy (even though she fucks Snake over with the whole FOXDIE virus thing),
• Mei Ling, a Chinese-American technical genius & inventor,
• Nastasha Romanenko, a Ukranian-born agent of the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency and an expert on nuclear weapons,
• Master Miller, who's of Japanese descent despite being blonde,
• DARPA chief Donald Anderson (a black man in a position of authority),
• Gray Fox (who, while voiced by a black VA, is actually revealed to be Vietnamese in the old Metal Gear NES games),
• Meryl Silverburgh, (who annoys the fuck out of me, though she redeems herself in MGS4)
  
• Sniper Wolf, a top FOXHOUND sniper who is an Iraqi Kurd.

Ignore the trolls is most of the times a good advice but is now ignored as many people have realized that is also a good way to get attention for themselves, specially if they have their own group of internet savvy assholes to rely on.
