WTF WED! GRANT KIRKHOPE'S KOOKY AND CRAZY PAC-MAN CABLE COMPANY!


This one is a WTF for a couple of reasons-- it's the first Guest Grumps and their first guest is Grant Kirkhope, the composes of classic N64 titles like Golden Eye, Banjo Kazooie, Perfect Dark and games from the recent generation with the Viva Pinata series and many more. Jontron is a huge fan of Grant Kirkhope's work and it's interesting to listen to someone meeting one of their idols-- who talks about his balls and spends the majority of the video taking the piss out of Jon.

Another cool thing, if you like Banjo Kazooie's soundtrack, Grant just released an album on Bandcamp of the game-- and you can name your own price! CHECK IT OUT!


I always knew that Pac-Man  was a horrible abomination...



I've been playing a lot of League of Legends lately (it's terribly addictive) and hate when my connection drops. But that's only my selfish reasoning behind my irritation at the mediocre internet service available in most parts of the United States. I think it is repulsive that the lazy, greedy, short-sighted cable companies would rather basically tell us to "Fuck you. You'll buy it." rather than providing a service that improves not only gaming and streamed entertainment, but, more importantly, quickens the pace of online business.

Some food for thought: I once heard a guy who worked on computers talk about his passion for improving the performance of the product. He explained that if he saved every person who bought his computer a few seconds in boot-up time that he could save lifetimes of wasted hours. So, basically, when any company withholds faster service for the sake of greed they're wasting lifetimes of their customer's hours. Think about that...
