Audrey and Korla (Data Transfer) take the lads on a trip to the post-cyberpocalypse as they cover Tales of Game’s infamous free-to-play sequel to a certain Michael Jordan/Looney Tunes mashup: Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaiden. Topics include the game’s overt racism, forum culture in the mid-2000s, and the lessons to be learned from a game where Charles Barkley destroys half of New York with a Chaos Dunk.

All my ajdestined come to the front

ajdestined sounding off 🎺🎺🎺

Just wanting to chime in and say the 3 of you might actually enjoy Tomatoanus's videos

AJ calls for the AJdestined and we answer.

MuppetImp

AJdestined and proud

I was never really on 4chan or the something awful forums, but I did spend a lot of time on an anime themed forum called GaiaOnline, the rise and fall of that site is a saga in and of its self. Ever seen a forum with an economy? Want to see them mess it up so bad they need to introduce a new default currency? All in the pursuit of the coolest avatar. Lot of fond memories regardless.

Shaqfu was the only fighting game I had as a kid, God it was terrible.

Lain of the Wired

i just remember all the homestuck fans loved this game

gaia online was great that disaster in the end was amazing

I still have access to my original account. Sometimes I like to look through my old post history for a laugh.

S-lappin

Silvagunner is pretty much the sole reason I know of this game existing, learning about what exactly is about is eye opening, great episode, hope this RPG season continues

BarFly

In a way aren't we all AJDestined?

Bryan Cebulski

The lack of Shaq Fu references could also have had something to do with the fact that there was an RPG Maker game in development around the same time called Shaq Fu RPG. I forget if it was ever finished, but it was fairly popular and I could imagine they were like well okay that's been done already.

Glad the boys were reply guys too at one point.

AJdestined reporting in, ready to AJvolve my AJmon

AJdestined reporting for adoration

Sorry AJdestined, but I'm a ride or die Brianiac. His reactions give me joy. Hashtag Toriyama Tuesday

Dergon

In seriousness, this is making me glad I got sucked into Deviant Art before making Homestar Runner my personality, once I got unfettered interet access.I dabbled a bit in Encyclopedia Dramatica, but it was a LOT for a sheltered homeschool kid lol.

standing up and saluting with tears in my eyes when I hear Josh read the navy seal copypasta

Lucas White

Wait, this is a real thing?? I thought this was a bit one my college housemates made up

Amy Godliman

As someone who made an interactive piece that was a bunch of fake radio stations it’s inspiring to hear about the pioneering work of…South African Airlines in flight entertainment.

AJdestined? Brianiacs? What is this, a leather bar?

Paula Sulpice

Love how the non-odyssey episodes this month form a little mirror Dragon ball 🤝 Toriyama 🤝 Chrono trigger 🤝 RPG 🤝 Barkley, Shut up and Jam

FunkyWeapon

I gotta say for me this was possibly the weakest episode in a while, maybe it's just because I've never heard of this game before. But even with other episodes on topics unfamiliar to me you guys usually have me convinced that there is a worthwhile discussion to be had about that topic. That moment just never came for me on this one. Hope this makes some sense to you, much love!

Grouchiest Marxiest

I was cackling at Josh's line read of the navy seal copypasta god what a perfect lil pearl of online insanity

Förfäders spår

thank god I didn’t find this game as a teenager, I would’ve been even more insufferable

Alexander Gebhardt

I'm really glad that I wasn't so online as a teenager to get all of the references (or fluent enough in English to understand them had I been really online), but I really appreciate all of you for explaining them. I also hate you because now I know about that game and its wider cultural context. That being said, the reading of the copypasta was perfect.

Ned Ludd's Hammer

I'm delerious after a long flight again, and once again you've served up exactly what I need to stay semi-concious while I wait for my train. Thanks lads.

I love that there is no mention of the original Barkley: Shut Up And Jam game in the whole episode
