Jimmy’s Notes on Episode 76: Alex McCumbers vs. ‘Rampage’ (2018)

Published May 12, 2023

With this, I have caught up with the current output of episodes. Nate is still trying to catch up with publication. This is why I think he’s doing too much. I know he thinks it’s…beneficial for everyone, but he’s going to burn himself out. I just hope it isn’t literal. I saw that happen to a guy at NASA once. Yes, stress can lead to spontaneous combustion. (I don’t want to talk about it). Anyway, I have a fair amount of notes on episode 76 despite not producing it. (Nice work, Jet!) They are:

  • I missed you, too, Nate—by an inch. Ha!
  • That manual needs to get published. I’m in talks with a publisher now.
  • Alex corrected the release date instead of me or Jet. Good work!
  • Nate’s done well with the EID’s, but I’d rather spare him the trouble (especially now) and write them.
  • Peyton Reed directed cheerleaders and Ant-Man, Nate.
  • Yes, Notary played King Kong in Skull Island. (Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Notary)
  • Did Yuji Kaida do rampage Japanese poster? (link, image)
  • I’ve played Jet’s Jaguar. His favorite games are Iron Soldier 1-2.
  • It was Dr. Feng Zhang. (Source: https://www.broadinstitute.org/what-broad/areas-focus/project-spotlight/questions-and-answers-about-crispr).
  • I had the Rock’s eyebrows for a while. It was a side effect of miraculously surviving the infamous War in Space. The surgery fixed them.
  • Jet said Bowser is a kaiju, Nate. Given the semi-nebulous definition of the word, I don’t know if we can refute him. I could check with the kaijuologists—if I wasn’t in jail!
  • Midway didn’t publish War of the Monsters. It was developed by Incognito Entertainment (and Santa Monica Studio) and published by Sony. (Source: Wikipedia).
  • Primal Rage is a post-apocalyptic game. It takes place after a meteor strike devastates civilization.
  • How the heck could you get me confused for Jet?! “Jet Jimmy”? “Jimmy Jet”? The latter was my pro-wrestler persona for a while, though.
  • I spent a tour in Earth Defense Force. I had the highest robot kill count because my engineering knowledge helped me identify weaknesses. The giant bugs? Not so much.
  • This Reddit post (so take it with a grain of salt) has a link to a Google Drive with an English translation of City Shrouded in Shadow. Here’s a YouTube playlist with one.
  • I heard the original broadcast. Jet was right to criticize. It’s like you became one of your friend’s podcasts: derailed trains of thought.
  • He prefers “Push the button, Jet.”

Finally, here is Nate’s full research notes so you can read what he didn’t share:

With this, I have finally caught up. Now, if only Nate could get those episodes out. Season three needs to end! The Kaiju Lovers are waiting, man!
