Episode III with Edgar (NSFW)

This NSFW episode was recorded Jan. 4, 2015: featuring DJ Mixtermike (host) & Edgar.
We go into discussion covering entertainment, comedy, pop culture, news, tech, movies and television.

We begin the episode by introducing animator Edgar, and go into a little background into our friendship. I ask Ed about his current projects, we talk about people printing porn at public libraries, early animation websites; Newgrounds, making money on ads, malware removal, video game forums, downloading music, origin of Mike's DJ nickname and early music inspiration. We move onto a topic about our after school library writing sessions, self-published zines, our early comic making days in middle school; including the reoccurring mushroom clouds explosion, the crude N64 Conker's Bad Fur Day, GTA Vice city, music playlists, trying to exercise, and eating a better diet. Cold weather, Ed walking his dogs, getting focused on working, cheating on video games, Ed not seeing the original Star Wars for a long time, focusing on a single field, Ed's origin with Flash, sound effects, Robot actor Mario, working more on personal projects, and favorite projects with long periods of time spent working on them.

After the break we go into discussions about Earth spinning into infinity, DVR and TV watching, limiting factors in early music sampling, memory, 8 core processing, rendering, humor, December depression, jetpacks, drones, Fallout New Vegas, a Left 4 Dead custom map, Signs, watching Crash with a large class, language barriers, Youtube comments, stupid adults. We begin some rants about religious extremists, idea of time and move into a weird tangent then back to religious extremists, the usefulness of a college education, learning the basics, Ed's time working at a hotel. Ed brings back the topic of religion, specifically about being thankful for his current position, and disliking the forceful religious individuals. Ed sums up some of his thoughts about wanting to be more creative than religious, and not wanting to put down anybody whether they are religious or not.
