Widescreen Podcast #286 – Returning from the dead?

I know, I know. I’ve been severely neglecting the site. Unfortunately, having to work two jobs, streaming on Twitch every now and then, and having found a lot of popularity in Warframe circles for the props that I’ve been making, The Berger Bits has sadly fallen by the wayside. I keep telling myself to get […]

Widescreen Podcast #271 – A Reminder

Let’s just put this out there. Black Lives Matter. This does not mean that no other lives matter. At no point was that a statement of exclusivity. But right now there are certain segments of the population that unfortunately need to be reminded that the lives of those with dark skin matter just as much as […]

The Widescreen Podcast #262 – The Rise of the Unoriginal Cliché

It’s been a while since I posted here, which is really stupid of me, but I’m going to try to change that in the new year by adding content other than widescreen.org podcasts. I’ve been getting more into 3D CAD and such, so this would be a good outlet for that. I’ve seen The Rise […]

The Widescreen Podcast #256

I’ll be blunt: knock it off with the Sony bashing. Disney made a totally unacceptable offer to keep the Sony-Marvel cooperation going on Spider-Man. To make it worse, supposedly this was their second offer which was less agreeable than the first! I explain why Sony did the right thing by not renewing the agreement between them and […]

Warframe Grineer Sheev Prototype

This is all your fault, Shrubsy. Shrubsy, of course, is Bart van der Westerlaken who did a fantastic model with Warframe‘s Lex Prime pistol, which I printed off (two of them actually) and brought to TennoCon 2018 with me … with my personally-designed holster made specifically for them.  They were a huge hit by the […]

The Widescreen Podcast #250

I got to see Detective Pikachu with my family, and damn if it isn’t an adorable movie.  It has it moments of inconsistency and mood swings, but it was still worth the price of admission to me. Long-time listeners know that I’m a big fan of the Eurovision Song Contest despite being a Yankee. Unfortunately, the […]

The Widescreen Podcast #249

I ended up being a little bit rant-y on this episode.  I have my moments when I need to vent, I suppose, except that I vented a few times. Don’t buy those cheap streaming devices because …. well, really you should know better and you get what you pay for. Avengers: Endgame continues to break […]

Full-size Vaykor Hek (from “Warframe”) Prototype

My 3D printer has become an addiction. I bought it to try to spark the kids’ imaginations, but instead it set my imagination on fire. If you listen to the podcast regularly, you know that I’m obsessed with Warframe and probably put upwards of 20 hours per week into that game.  For the past two years, […]

The Widescreen Podcast #248

Endgame is here, it’s already breaking box office records all over the place, and it’s expected to make upwards of $900M globally on its opening weekend. No, I haven’t seen it yet, but my ticket has been purchased.  I’ll talk about it on the next show. It looks like Hulu will soon be owned entirely […]

Impressive Home Theater Conversion

A long-time widescreen.org guest sent me some photos of the upgrade from a functional TV room room into a gorgeous home theater.  He’s now able to enjoy his episodes of Gunsmoke on a 92″ (2.3 m) StudioTek 130 G3 screen and Runco (now Planar) Q-750D DLP projector with Dynaudio Confidence C2 speakers in front, Simaudio Moon 400M amps, and […]
