The N3RDCast
Our weekly discussion on Comic Books (FULL of spoilers!), MMORPGs, gaming, comics, and geekdom in general.
 
This week we kick HappyJack off of the show. But since it's our last show anyway, it's kind of an empty threat. And speaking of empty - Dr. Sexy's testes are NOT, as he has spawned! The lovely Sexretary is expecting, so the N3RD clan continues to grow! The stupid recording software is back to being buggy, so of COURSE there's that goofy overstepping bug yet again. We also discuss Dr. Sexy's inception into Google Wave (without Kwip), what you have to do to get an invite from him, gay scrubs, Stan Lee's Jane Pym was a whore, great costume ideas, robot friends, Kwip hates how Renn Faire treats it's actors, more Jumpgate talk, the crazy Serenity Big Damn Model, Left4Dead 2, L4DMST3K, and very sexy costumes. Comics we discuss this week include: MIGHTY AVENGERS #30, COWBOY NINJA VIKING #1, POE #4. The best part about Halloween is the number of very attractive friends that we have who find the holiday a GREAT excuse to really whore it up. Seriously, there were some VERY hot chicas at the costume party last night, and that's almost as good as the delicious treats that were served. Out of the two, I'd probalby go with the treats as being my favorite part, since I'm allowed to partake of them... We put together probably my mostest favoritest costume for Kwipette yet this year. It's a shame if you're not her friend on facebook, because she posted the pics of her awesome costume (and some of the cuties at the party) on her facebook page. If you're not a QMx Insider, perhaps you haven't heard about The Big Damn Replica. In which case, allow me to warn you: it is a tale of heartbreak, of love that can never be (even with a $500 discount), and of remote controlled lights. It would look SOOOO good in my display case, too... If you're not cool enough to know about Google Wave, then just take our word for it that it is a pretty incredible thing and you desperately want to be part of it. In fact, you want to be a part of it SOOO badly, you'll send Dr. Sexy nekkid pics to secure yourself one of his invites. If you're anywhere near Kwip for any amount of time, chances are he's cornered you to blather on about how great Jumpgate is. But if you were a Wing Commander, X-Wing or Freespace fan, you owe it to yourself to play Jumpgate. It's only $10 a month, and while the graphics are a bit dated, it really is a fantastic game. Dust off your joystick (and while you're at it, you can click on the "Watercooler" link at the top of the page to get to the JoystickRequired.com forums where all your Jumpgate questions will be answered!). Sorry about that stupid overlapping bug. I don't know what the hell is up with the Pamela recording software, but at this point I feel comfortable saying it's a piece of shit and not to invest in it. Yes, it does have some nice features, but if the absolute most BASIC feature - recording two people conversing - fails, then what the hell is the point? Big congrats to Dr. Sexy and the Sexretary on their succesful mating! Now to start planning on how we're going to corrupt the child...

We drop the call about twenty times this show. But while we do manage to talk, we talk about Coffee vs Pot as a creative aide, criticism on the Zuda selection process, rainy days, radiator mishaps, Baltimore recap from Dr. Sexy, the incredible video American Terror: Company Man, Left4Dead antics on new maps, Where the Wild Things Are, Zombieland, comics on iTune/Comixology and Kwip's mic is still the loudest. Books we talk about this week include: BLOODY PULP MINI-COMIC, SPIDER-MAN: THE CLONE SAGA, SECRET SIX #14, ZOMBIE SURVIVAL GUIDE RECORDED ATTACKS, DEADPOOL #900.

You know we love the American Terror book by Jeff McComsey, but you have GOT to check out the animated short based on it. There's so much awesomeness in it, I don't even know where to begin - but I'll start with how awesome it is to see this produced locally here in Lancaster, PA. Woot!

The Family Guy Superfriends Intro Dr. Sexy talks about is hilarious.

Because I like words, I was baffled by the concept of speaking in pictographs, but if you check out Araknid Kid you'll probably love it as much as Dr. Sexy does - and now that I've read it, I definitely love it, also! So that's a ringing endorsement, see?

It's true that while Dr. Sexy and HappyJack have been slacking, I've been hard at work refining my zombie hunting skills. I've got three new maps I got from the excellent L4DMaps.com website that are now in regular rotation:
Death Aboard
Death Stop
The Arena of the Dead

If you're a zombie hunter (and you don't mind a little LOT OF friendly fire), let us know!

I wish there were something else we discussed during this show, but honestly, the discussion rarely veered off-topic. Kaigon and I share a deep-seated guilt complex that just doesn’t let up: we are assholes. We have been evil, vile men our entire lifetimes, and there is no redemption for us. Your best bet is to stop associating with us right now.

The pussoy is this little gem of an ad that Kaigon found:
Pussoy

Seriously, can you see anything else in that image? Or are we the only pervs?

Although the lag problem seems to have been fixed, I still vastly overpower Kaigon in the recording, so I had to rely upon Levelator once again. Apologies for how it distorts the sound oddly in some places. But not really, because – hello, asshole? Remember?
