Extra Credit

Reddit has so many questions, particularly about the mythical beast that is woman. So powerful is Reddit’s need to Ask Women, it cannot be contained by one or even two subreddits. No, in order to facilitate conversation with EVERY possible lady query there need to be an ever-increasing amount of splinter subreddits to collect the […]

Fragrantica is a place that talks about perfume. There. Okay it’s also filled with lunatics who pretend they know what they smell like because they’re told what they smell like by lunatics who have no idea what they smell like. Anyway, here’s an episode. This week, Extra Credit is $107.93 for 9.2 oz.

Positronic gave me some fanfic from around 2008. Apparently it’s a crossover of Death Note and Naruto? Also there’s a Glee fic. It is incomprehensible. We’re gonna read it for you! This week, Extra Credit stuck our hand i my underwear and squeed lightly.

Come along with us on a journey to worlds beyond your imagination. Worlds beyond the imaginations of those who made them, in fact, as the writers themselves seem to have no clue how the worlds they’re trying to write work. Writers more interested in inventing places than writing stories are a dime a dozen on […]

We swear we didn’t plan it this way, it just happened this episode was done after the last! Want more Reddit but less semen? Well we might not be able to promise NO semen, but this old doc from the archives promises less. r/edgingtalk is lesser than r/semenretention but still better than r/nofap, who are […]

Reddit is full of guys who are all pent up with… What did you think we were gonna say? Rage? Resentment? Gamer words? Well those are all fitting, but no. The word we were going to end that sentence with was semen! This may seem like a mean-spirited dig at their sexual prowess, but that […]

During a specific two year gap around 2011, the facile whims of fandom were fixated on a few particular properties. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Portal 2, True Blood, and of course… The CENSORSHIP taking place on TV Tropes regarding the purge of fetish-related materials and the subsequent migration efforts to save every listing of […]

We braved the mechanical oddities of Chrono Cross’ game design, now to confront the twisty time-travel confusion that is Chrono Cross’ plot. In a document written by Dijon Du Jour, Dijon explains the general overview of Chrono Cross as it happens. Or sometimes as it doesn’t happen. Or sometimes still as it once happened but […]

Hey what if we just took a little time to talk about a video game? Chrono Cross is the sequel to the world-renowned, critically-acclaimed single-player RPG Chrono Trigger. Having made the jump from 2-D to 3-D the game also made a few leaps regarding mechanics and storytelling. The former is a mystery that baffles Chronocrossology […]

Wikipedia is a wealth of information (provided the dudes who make up editing leadership think your subject is relevant), a massive compendium of facts and concepts put together by many, many people providing a little of this or a lot of that. But how do these editors manage to communicate with each other in such […]

The Gender and Sexuality communities of Tumblr have been in flux (not the suffix they attatch to every other word, it’s just honestly changed hands many times.) Having founded and abandoned the LGBTA Wiki, they went on to a site called EZGENDER. This too was left to lie fallow as the trendy hipsetters were soon […]

WikiHow is back and it’s WikiHower than ever! We return to the podcast family’s sweetheart site to discover even more helpful tips for problems such as how to ride an elevator or how to make a psi ball. WikiHow will this turn out? This week, Extra Credit is petitioning Congress to change the letters E […]

The Sims is a game about creating digital dolls and making them cheat on each other until they die in a fire caused by some moron making mac and cheese. Except it’s actually about so much more. The Sims discussion forums are filled with people sharing their complaints, perhaps some triumphs, and mostly their fetishes. […]

This episode features a story about a lot of things. It’s about Hamilton. (kinda) It’s about Harry Potter. (not really) It’s about making THE LESBIATHAN angry. (very) It’s about Hamtaro/Kingdom Hearts crossovers. (not nearly enough) It’s about friends who probably only like you for the fame and also your brother can spy because he’s an […]

Dr. (not really) Judith C. McMath was once a huckster and spouter of new age bullshit, but her website went offline in 2013. She provided great wisdom in her time, such as the fraudulence of Louis Pasteur and how bad vibes give you cancer. In fact, we once read this information to you all, but […]

We all know furries, in both senses of the term. For all the good and the bad, it is a community of no small repute. Which is why it stands to reason they write a bunch of poetry! That’s right, you thought this was just some ho-hum furry episode? Think again! The auteurs at furaffinity.net […]

The fanon wikis keep on coming! The Pooh’s Adventure Wiki is a sprawling dimensional crossover fanfiction with Disney’s Winnie the Pooh at the center of it all. Allegedly. While Pooh et al are mentioned in passing, a lot of what we’re reading seems to have more to do with the outside characters than anything Disney. […]

How many bananas would you eat in one day? One? Three? Seven? This is a stupid question? Well today’s website started as an answer to this inane query, and that answer is 30. 30 bananas a day. Frugivores are people who only eat fruit and down on the hierarchy of things people eat, screaming loudly […]

Creepypasta is a subject we’ve covered on the show several times before, and you’d think we’d get tired of it! You probably have. Unfortunately for us all the Creepypasta community has broken itself into so many disparate pieces that there is no end to iteration in the scary nonsense scene. Enter Geoshea’s(?) Lost Episode(??) Creepypasta […]

You know what they say, you can’t judge a book by its cover. But you can judge a book by its readership. Enter Goodreads. As you likely are aware, Goodreads is a site where people who read and write can post the books they’ve read or written and provide reviews, that either tell you the […]

Déja-vu! Didn’t we do this one already? Yes. We did. But hey sometimes people don’t just grow apart they DNI those who severely wrong them and it’s not polite to probe any further. : ) Hypnoponies are people who very very much wish to be ponies from the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic universe […]

Ever think about reality? Are things as they seem, or are they actually a near-seamless tapestry of programming and mental conditioning? And if the latter, then why does our hardware fuck up so often? r/GlitchInTheMatrix purports that indeed the world we are in is not the world we are in, but in fact a simulated […]

Once upon a time Depending on your zone There came into being An archive of our own A place to free fiction from censorship most dire Where incest and pedophilia Often transpire Fans so fervent But so imprudent Celebrate their ships As poetry students And so we compiled Their torturous rhyme To mock and ask […]

It’s time for more ghost and cryptid dweebs! Strangoria is a community that exists as a single web page advertising their Discord server, and said Discord server which contains about 6000 members. Secret Gaygent 69 braved the depths and returned to us with a sampling of the mysterious, spiritual, mystical, illogical, radical nonsense that can […]

Bionicle, short for Biological Chronicle, is a briefly-lived sub-brand of Lego that featured a lot of robotic, cyborg-like something or others (it’s never fully explained what they are). But what if you could get more words on the subject? So many more words. Get ready to “learn” as much as you can handle about Toas, […]
