The N3RDCast
Our weekly discussion on Comic Books (FULL of spoilers!), MMORPGs, gaming, comics, and geekdom in general.
 

Sure, it sounds good on paper - your players doing stupid, risky stuff in a dangerous area? Kill ‘em! Kill ‘em FOREVER! But would anyone actually play a game that did something like that? Let alone pay you hard-earned money for the chance to lose everything?

Well, I certainly think so. We discuss this (and somehow many other topics, despite our best efforts to stay on track), and give our oh-so-expert opinions on whether or not it would work. Of course I’m right, but this is one subject that’s pretty dear to my heart, so I’d love for you to give it a listen and let us know what you think!

A double-long episode this week, featuring Bruce Rosenberger. Titles we spoil: ESCAPISTS, 52, ASTRO CITY THE DARK AGE BOOK TWO, SHADOWPACT, DEADWORLD, INVINCIBLE, JACK STAFF, ASTONISHING X-MEN, CIVIL WAR, IRON MAN, MOON KNIGHT, NEW AVENGERS, SQUADRON SUPREME, UNION JACK, WHAT IF SPIDER-MAN THE OTHER, X-MEN FIRST CLASS, CONAN, BOYS, JACK OF FABLES, MAN CALLED KEV, RED MENACE, WONDER WOMAN, LOOKING GLASS WARS HATTER M, WALKING DEAD, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, AVENGERS EARTHS MIGHTIEST HEROES II, CIVIL WAR FRONT LINE , DAREDEVIL, FANTASTIC FOUR THE END, PUNISHER WAR JOURNAL, WOLVERINE, X-FACTOR, DAMAGED, ENIGMA CIPHER, PLANETARY BRIGADE ORIGINS.

I don't know why Bruce chose to brave our idiocy up-close and personal, but I can only hope he came through unscathed. We'll know if he starts dropping the F bomb every other word and insulting Joe Q in his podcast, no doubt.

I'm still surprised at how long we can blab we when (don't) put our minds to it. We probably could've gone on even longer, had we gotten wound up on a particular issue (shitty editing!). But if you've got a couple hours to spare for our wacky hijinks, give it a listen!

Oh, and Marvel vs. Guiding Light? YOU WHORES! Why don't you just start including a free turd with every comic purchased? No, no, it's fine - we understand. The almighty dollar. I mean, hey, what do your loyal readers matter if you can make a few extra bucks, right?

Woody, Dr Sexy and I sit down to share our brilliance on the concept of merchandise for MOGs. Inspired by WoW's CCG, we consider the repercussions of putting your brand on something other than your game.

That, and we reminisce about some rather ridiculous stories involving our own terrible MOG addictions. Or at least Woody's. It's funny to laugh at other's frustrations!

It's been an awfully long time since we graced you with our wisdom. If you've missed us, the feeling's mutual, believe you me! But you can get your fix of us right here!
