Atomic Facepalm's a podcast peppered with a bunch of simple dudes who love playing games. Some of us used to write about 'em (un)professionally, some of us are parents and students with un-spectacular day-jobs, most of us share a mutual hatred of Ayn Rand, but all of us agree: games are pretty goddamn awesome. And what do you do with things that are awesome? Why, you talk about them. On an internet radio show. And swear a lot. And completely disregard entire segments in favor of hilarious and insightful spontaneity. At least, that’s what we do. So yeah, you should kick back, pour yourself a glass of cheap bourbon, and come have a listen. And remember, at Atomic Facepalm, everything’s Keenan Weaver’s fault. That’s pretty much our only rule.

Chris Comiskey once ate a live brontosaurus while conquering Vietnam with a miniature ukulele. That’s completely untrue, but his actual past--fixing planes in the USAF and writing for Game Central and PC Gamer--is way more boring. Chris readily prefers the brontosaurus/Vietnam story. He’s currently out of work, and will totally play games for food.

Dave Shea, Husband Extraordinaire and Father of Twain, once considered dining upon steamed silkworm larvae--a famously available street snack in Seoul, South Korea, where he taught English for two years--but thought better of it. He now spends his days fading away doing social service work and weekends masquerading as a masked vigilante, but in-between bouts of lawn-mowin’ and child-rearin’, he dines upon the succulently sweet morsels that are PC gaming. If you don’t like John Carpenter’s The Thing, he doesn’t like you.

There was a time when you could find Greg Henninger, known then as Gregorio the Gondolier, gently rowing Venetian gondolas through the waterways and canals of the Coronado Cay in sun-drenched San Diego. These days it does not matter whether it’s sun-drenched outside or not because he now spends his time in a much healthier fashion in front of his computer. After cutting his teeth on games such as Tie Fighter and Monkey Island, Greg started his own clan called the Sith Mercenaries and learned level editing for Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight. First-person shooters are his beat but also enjoys strategy and burritos. He acts in films and commercials, and is happiest owning the noobs with his insta-gib Unreal 2K4 skills.

Like a fox over a frozen meadow, Keenan Weaver quickly skirts opponents and drops truthbombs. A gamer since birth, he’s a sponge of gaming. His roots originate in the early ’90s when the Genesis and SNES were the rivals of the century. He began PC gaming around that time and is a PC gamer at heart. Name a game and he has played it (except StarCraft). Gaming isn’t his only hobby--he has a keen interest in philosophy and history, the former of which he is a Bachelor of Arts. Perhaps the reason of his current unemployment is a combination of all the aforementioned information.

Fulfilling Atomic Facepalm’s mandate to employ at least one sentient vegetable, Gentice Prede is a talking potato. Unlike the Companion Cube, he’s neither lovable nor endearing, but his animosity towards Avatar and Firefly are nevertheless hilarious. He even played a game once! And immediately regretted it. |
