In an unusual turn of events, Woody, Dr. Sexy, Trevor and I are actually back at playing a MOG - AND, even crazier, we’re actually all playing the same game. To celebrate this unusual occurrence, we sat down to talk about our initial experiences with Warhammer now that it has launched.

We recorded this as our families were cooking out, so there’s a lot of background noise (I don’t know why we can’t get our women and children just to sit quietly while we talk about this important stuff!). But it’s been a while since we talked MOG, so it was good to get back to this. Woody has a lot to say about his experiences trying to get A) a good mouse, and B) a good mouse that will let him macro. As a result of this conversation (and Woody’s wonderful help), I now have a lovely Microsoft Sidewinder Mouse (and I love it very much). Feel free to chime in with any suggestions of your own about a mouse you like.

We also discuss Grudge (which I didn’t understand), taking on healers at lower levels, and drinking buddies. There’s a LOT about Warhammer we’re all still learning. If you’ve got any clues, feel free to offer any suggestions or chime in with questions of your own!

In this episode (which I’d worry about getting sued for if we had more than two listeners), Redwalker takes Kwip on a guided tour of his fortified house.

Do you know the best way to secure your front door? What about your windows? Given any thought about how you’re going to reinforce that garage door? Of course not! That’s what we’re here for, to establish the finest in Zombie-proofing measures by installing them on our own homes!

HappyJack is out of commission this weekend for family duties. Considering the depravity we’re going to subject him to (or was it he, us? Whatever.) I think this is a fair trade. Let his family have him this weekend! Next weekend? HE BELONGS TO US (also, any slutty women [?] we find) IN BALTIMORE! If you haven’t made plans yet, you’ll find us at the Lead Slinger Studio booth (and as soon as they let us know where that is, we’ll post it here!). Stop by and say hi!

If you haven’t been paying attention, you really need to check out Greengo. He’s a chupacabra, and possibly the only source of information you need on the interweb to tell you what’s worth your time. And I didn’t realize it, but apparently he’s posting damn near every day. So there you go!

Iron Man comes out this week, but Dark Knight’s STILL in theaters. Good grief. I’m excited about Iron Man, but I’m going to be studying Dark Knight the way a zoologist studies… erm… zoos?

Honestly Alan, if you’re going to be a whiny cunt, couldn’t you at least wait till the actual movie comes out? That might lend the slightest air of legitimacy to your mewing. But probably not.

Titles we spoil this week include: CONAN THE CIMMERIAN #3, ACTION COMICS #869, SPIRIT #21, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #572, MIGHTY AVENGERS #18, MOON KNIGHT #22, SECRET INVASION THOR #2, UNCANNY X-MEN #502.

Redwalker and Kwip set out on the road - or at least, talk about how to plan for road (or off-road) trips. There’s a lot of things to think about apart from whether you’ve got a full tank of gas (which we don’t even mention, thank you very much!).

We talk about GPS, land navigation skills, planning alternate routes, and some handy things to have in the vehicle at all times. Items that aren’t just useful during a zombie apocalypse, even! Weird, right?

For a show that’s supposed to be the merest of overviews, we sure do get sidetracked a lot. I can’t help it - I blame it on the wealth of information on the internet! We do try and stick to our 15-minute cap, even if we aren’t always successful.

We start out the show with HappyJack and Dr. Sexy recapping their Super Show experiences. Two different views, you’ll notice. But both of them will be back next year, and barring any more Ben Folds incidents, I’ll be there to join them.

We also have some voice mails to… subject ourselves to… from the (un)usual suspects. Always the highlight of the show.

Titles we spoil this week: SECRET SIX #1, GOON #28, SECRET SIX #1, BATMAN CONFIDENTIAL #21, SECRET SIX #1, BOOSTER GOLD #12, SECRET SIX #1, WONDER WOMAN #24, INVINCIBLE #52, SECRET SIX #1, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #571, SECRET SIX #1, DEADPOOL #1, SECRET SIX #1, SECRET INVASION #6, SECRET SIX #1, SECRET SIX #1, SECRET SIX #1 and SECRET SIX #1.

Gail, I don’t want to spoil anything for you, but Dr. Sexy finally got around to reading Secret Six #1!

We also discuss the prospect of another live N3RDCast show (ie, a drunk show). We were kicking around the 3rd of October, but I think I’m going to ignore their ideas completely and instead stick with the 4th. Executive override! It’s easier to prepare for on a Saturday - no way can I get home from work and get ready in time to do it justice on a Friday night, particularly the week after Baltimore. My liver will still be in recovery, anyway. So there.

Today Kwip and Redwalker discuss some of their favorite picks for anti-zombie weaponry, including: The M14, M1 Garand and Ruger 10/22 rifles, the Colt 357 Python revolver, the 1911 .45 caliber pistol, and the Mossberg 590 and Benelli M4 Super 90 shotguns.

Let’s face it: it’s all well and good to talk about enchanted table legs, but the REAL fun in the zombie apocalypse discussions is talking about the guns you want at hand! And hey, if you’re TALKING about guns, why not take the time to actually purchase one? And if you DO purchase one, by all means, familiarize yourself with it! Never mind the zombie hordes, this could save you a lot of grief in your life in general. Take some time, get to the range a few times, have some fun. It’s like Counter-Strike, only with better sound quality!

We got together the night before the guys left for the CGS Super Show and I left to stand in the middle of a hurricane waiting to see Ben Folds with the Chamber Orchestra of Philly at the Mann Center.

I’ve heard the boys had fun.

As for Ben, it was an incredible show, easily the most enjoyable concert I’ve ever been to in my life on every single level, and I would have traded the experience in a second to be at the Super Show… But I think everyone wound up having a good weekend, and I’m sure the guys will have plenty of stories to tell next week.

As for THIS week, we start out talking wildly inappropriately about the beautiful Comfort Love. Because, you know, she was at the Super Show.

And I wasn’t.

Sigh. I just hope the guys properly fawned over her… And her book, of course.

Uh, I guess her husband might have helped on that book, too. Just a little.

On the news front, folks are talking about the Pittsburgh show’s new location. I guess it’s good news, but I’m kind of bummed that it will no longer be the incredibly convenient show it was last year. Not just because I’m lazy (although that, too) - I picked that as the perfect show to bring Kwipette along to, since it’s all in one very handicapped-accessible location. Still, I’m looking forward to it in 2009, because they’re still the best folks we’ve ever worked with at any show.

We were going to ask DJ Coffman for some insight into the new location since he’s local to there, but he continues to get bombarded with Will Draw Anything orders. That’ll teach him to be talented. Also, cheap.

Right in the middle of this show, the batteries in the hand-held recorder died. It’s a testimony to

Oh, and if you missed Tyr’s comment last week on the hilarious thread he started on Gail’s forums, you really need to check it out. Funny stuff.

Titles we spoil this week: MARVEL APES #1, BATMAN DETECTIVE COMICS #848, THE BOYS #22, UNCANNY X-MEN #501, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #570, VENOM DARK ORIGIN #2, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #18, TITANS #4, INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #5, DEAD OF NIGHT #1, FRINGE #1.

Redwalker and Kwip discuss weapons you might find at hand when the zombie apocalypse comes - from table legs to butcher knives to broomsticks: look around you. What can you use as a weapon?

No fair if you’re sitting in the middle of an armory. The goal here is to be creative! What ordinary device can be transformed into a Zed killing machine with the application of ingenuity, elbow grease, and - of course - duct tape?

One of the interesting items we stumbled across was the Unbreakable Umbrella. Handy striking weapon that you can carry with you and draw MUCH less attention than a crowbar!

We’re still REALLY struggling to improve the sound quality. And not making much progress, as you’ll hear in this show… It’s frustrating, but rest assured we’re still working hard at it. I figure somewhere around episode 100, maybe 200, we’ll get it ironed out and at least be able to sound like we’re on a paper cup and string connection. Which would be a HUGE improvement.

Feel free to chime in with your observations/ideas about the tools/weapons you have on hand and how you can use them by calling us at 646-797-2763 or emailing us. You can also stop by the forums and get involved!

The crew is back together this week after a brief hiatus. Dr. Sexy brought us back whore private dancer personals from Las Vegas, so we start out the show giving our favorite picks. Feel free to call them and let them know you heard about them through the N3RDCast!

Dr. Sexy did not win the big payoff in Vegas, sad to say. But he did manage to come back with some funny stories which he graciously shares with everyone.

One of the topics we discuss is our thoughts about MJ (again). With the Secret Invasion storyline going on (and apparently having been in the works for some time), why couldn’t they have done MJ as a Skrull?
