Please welcome the newest show to the Ruminations Radio Network, Oh God It Hz!  These guys are a wealth of laughs, knowledge, and comfort.  Take a stroll down our collective past of gaming, and our current ocean of game news and events.  Enthusiasts of an art that brings people together, take a listen, you're sure to identify with Oh God It Hz!Live on tape from Tucson, AZ & Osaka, Japan… JJJ and GameAgent ET deliver a biweekly blast of insight on the world of video gaming through a retro-fueled lens as a pair of lifelong friends catching up over hot mics across the Pacific Ocean. Sometimes it’s taking on gaming’s biggest issues with the history of the biz firmly in mind, sometimes it’s an open requiem for cool things, people, and places we miss, but there’s always an inside joke being slipped into the cracks as two gentlemen whose life paths have been forever woven together and influenced by this passion of theirs as console gaming enters its ninth generation.www.RuminationsRadioNetwork.comwww.instagram.com/RuminationsRadioNetworkTwitter: RuminationsRadioNetwork@RuminationsNwww.instagram.com/FromTheRedRoomRuminations@FromTheRedRoomMusic and Production by Mitch Proctorhttps://www.patreon.com/RuminationsRadio ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

welcome back to our ruminations. From here, in the red room. This episode we’re joined by returning guests Mike “call me Arvig” Arvig, and Charlie “Triple C” Langley. We’re back to ruminate on some sad sad songs, as given us by Mr. Tom Reynolds and his book “i hate myself and want to die”. Its all in fun, and while mr Reynolds book is very tongue in cheek, it is still my belief that there’s some heart there in recognizing these sad songs….sometimes the hurt has to find a way out and nothing salves the wounds of life like a good laugh. This episode we’ll be covering the chapter “If I Sing About Drugs, People Will Take Me Seriously” “Captain Jack” Billy Joel 1974 “Let her Cry” Hootie and the Blowfish 1994 “Sam Stone” John Prine 1972 www.RuminationsRadioNetwork.com Twitter: Ruminations@FromTheRedRoom http://guillermotheivth.blogspot.com/ Facebook Ruminations from the Red Room Instagram www.instagram.com/FromTheRedRoom Music and Production by Mitch Proctor ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Being Excellent to Each Other - a Resonance on Bill and Ted In this pt 2 episode, which follows hot on the heels of our Rumination on Generations, we wax nostalgic on Bill and Ted, their Excellent Adventure, and Bogus Journey. A generational touch stone itself, the first Bill and Ted was a fantasy ride full of optimism and hope. The idea that music could save the world, could create a harmonious existence and unite people was an inspiration, one we could use a little more of now. Today it seems people need a little boost, a bit of levity, and while we’re at it, perhaps whip a little love and compassion at ‘em at the same time. The joy, and positivity that the original movie exhibits, smoothly invites all watchers to enjoy the moment, live for our dreams, and simply “be excellent to each other”. So we chat about what the movie meant to us, what moments we remember most fondly and what we hope for the third installment, “Bill and Ted Face the Music”, which as of this writing, becomes available today in theaters and via on-demand services. This writer for one can’t wait. We’ll be watching with friends around the country and, while we can’t be in the same room, and we’re not heading out to the theatre, we very much intend to “party on dudes”.

Rumination on Generations ...on the eve of a generational story, and a return of the "Great Ones" known as Bill & Ted... ...Critical thinking, attention span, impact of a digital world and social media…we hit these in a conversational, anecdotal way. We just chat up some thoughts on why some of the, in our view, small inconveniences with which people are struggling, are seen as such. We put forth that while each persons experience is individual and creates their scope and perspective, some generations are better suited for adversity. We talk about the drive to get approval from the tribe, and the different ways we seek to find that. All that leads us into the next episode, as we chat up the Resonance that we feel with Bill & Ted and their excellent adventures.

Ruminating on a Sad Song ep 3 We rejoin Mr Tom Reynolds in Chapter 3 of his work, I hate myself and want to die, “I'm Trying to Be Profound and Touching, but Really Suck at It”. If we needed anymore proof that this book is tongue in cheek this has to be it. While Reynolds seemingly paints all of these odes to loss and misery as comical, I can’t help but still feel that he wouldn’t have zeroed in without some amount of sympathy….I think we’ve looked at these past songs with empathy and sympathy, and dug in a little to the heart of things, but still enjoyed a laugh or two as well. Besides laughter is the best medicine, next to whiskey. This chapter had a HUGE playlist so we’ve chosen to just pick our favorites and address those. The full list for our Ruminators out there playing along is as follows: “Round Here” Counting Crows 1994 “Lucky man” Emerson Lake and Palmer 1971 “Beth” KISS 1976 “MacArthur Park” Richard Harris 1968 (donna summer 1978) “Don’t Cry Out Loud” Melissa Manchester 1978 “In the Year 2525” Zager and Evans 1969 “Same Old Lang Syne” Dan Fogelberg 1981 “The Rose” Bette Midler 1980 “Mandy” Barry Manilow 1974 Reflections: Twin Peaks-The Return observations, and impressions Ruminations: Wandering thoughts, ideas, and conversations that enjoy the  journey over the destinations Reminiscence: Tales of friendship, adventures, and the drinks along the way Resonance: Reviews and the like, over art of all kinds Twitter: Ruminations@FromTheRedRoom http://guillermotheivth.blogspot.com/ Facebook Ruminations from the Red Room Instagram www.instagram.com/FromTheRedRoom ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

Ruminating on our Reminiscing Some people are destined to drop into your life, and drop back out. Some people make an impact, and then are gone. Every once in awhile, if you are lucky, you meet someone that for one reason or another, is in it for the long haul…We catch up with just such a person from my life. Meeting at the dawn of turning into real people, our guest Nikki Byrne and I go back to almost the beginning. We chat a bit about our origin story, we talk about the rough years of adolescence, the importance of being kind, and the tie that binds; Music. This episode is for music fans, for folks with old friends, and for everyone that ever felt like maybe they didn’t quite fit in….
