Comics N3RDCast 15 November, 2009: A HORRIBLE Recording!

n3rdcast@gmail.com — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:31:00 GMT

This week we suffer through more over-stepping bugs in Pamela (do NOT buy that software, it blows), hating phones vs networks, pay phones sucked just as bad (and gave you VD), new anatomy terms (Loveshack and Mangina), going back to church/Sunday School, not drinking, cold showers, Army stories chronicling Kwip's asshole-ness, the dubya dubya dot com wars, suggestions for an 80s comic fan that wants to get back into comics, Marvels Super Squad sucks, a HUUUGE discussion on comic book piracy, digital comics, and some fun voicemails. Comics we spoil this week include: AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #611, BATMAN #693, BATMAN AND ROBIN #6, DEADPOOL #17, THE MUPPET SHOW: THE TREASURE OF PEG LEG WILSON #4, VENGEANCE OF THE MOON KNIGHT #3

I don't know what the Hell the problem with the Pamela recording software is. But I would DEFINITELY advise you against buying it - you can hear how badly it screws up our recordings, making it sound like I have some kind of freaky precognition ability to step over Dr. Sexy's lines and respond before he even speaks. It could be a neat effect. Kind of like a really terrible premise for a sci-fi show, which I'm sure SyFy(iLuS) will pick it up and make a new series about. However, as someone incredibly desperate to just have ONE FUCKING SHOW without a technical glitch, I feel comfortable telling you the effect is shit. I might give it a break if anyone from their support staff would answer my message on their support forums, but they chose instead to ignore it, so they can go eat alllll the cocks. And their shitty software.

In theory, Marvel's Super Squad could be a lot of fun. In practice, it sucks.

Comic piracy is definitely a topic that needs to be discussed, and certainly by much more intelligent people. However I feel comfortable in stating that if digital comics were a buck, I would definitely have a lot more of them on my iPhone (and if you have one or an [even better] Android, you definitely need to get American Terror). If you don't have one of them and still want the digital experience, why not check out the Pimptastic Shawn (Stan Leeroy) Pryor's Mercury and the Murd? C'mon, it's ONE DOLLAR. What a deal!

I'm fond of the new anatomy terms we invent this week. Expect to be tested next week.

It's a shame the HappyJack wasn't here to chime in about going back to Sunday School. Oh, and about comic piracy. But mostly about Sunday School...

Comics N3RDCast 09 November, 2009: Bachelors Breakfast

n3rdcast@gmail.com — Mon, 9 Nov 2009 13:03:00 GMT

Things we discuss this week include how horrible Steakums are, easy bachelor food, movie reviews featuring GI Joe, Transformers 2, Orphan and Season 2 of Dexter, dioramas, results of the practical jokes, voicemail from Jason Becker, and more talk about our 4th anniversary special. Comics we discuss this week include SECRET SIX #15, DOOM PATROL #4, CAPTAIN AMERICA REBORN #4, HEROGASM #6, THE BOYS #36, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER #30.

You can probably tell we record the show before breakfast, as the talk is immediately side-tracked into the realm of food. And I think itâs an agreed-upon opinion that Steak-Ums are perhaps the biggest rip-off in the fat guy foods category. Totally misleading! Donât fall for the hype, folks â if you want a good cheesesteak, get your own slicer and stead and make that shit from scratch!

Iâm glad to hear that Transformers 2 is even worse than I had imagined. I have a very strong imagination, you see. And to hear that it is SO bad that it actually made Dr. Sexy fast-forward through most of it? Hilarity.

As we mention in the show, our 4th anniversary is coming up some day soon. Not sure when weâll specifically celebrate it, but I think weâre going to try and do a big blast for it. Weâre talking guest stars, guests hosts, and possibly even guest listeners. You know you want to come to the party. Erm. Do you want to come to the party?

Comics N3RDCast 02 November 2009: Dream Team Discussions!

n3rdcast@gmail.com — Mon, 2 Nov 2009 05:01:00 GMT

This weeks show features a discussion of our 'dream' N3RDCast line-up (using the Howard Stern show as a template), excitement for Shawn Pryor to start his own podcast, more love for Amber Love, movie reviews, good zombie flicks, Ninja Clown Monster, still more technical woes, The DC Comics Guide to Digitally Drawing Comics, The Gay Bed and Breakfast of Terror, practical joking neighbors, Kwips L4D2 review, fun playing as zombies in L4D, William Dafoe the inappropriate taxi driver, our favorite porn site and baby revelations to the families. Comics we discussed this week include: AVENGERS THE INITIATIVE #29, FANTASTIC FOUR #572, NEW AVENGERS #58, DETECTIVE COMICS: BATWOMAN #858, GOTHAM CITY SIRENS #5, WONDER WOMAN #37, ARKHAM REBORN #1. Stan sent me an email asking if we were to re-cast the show in the model of the Howard Stern show, what would our 'dream' cast look like. I think the answers are pretty funny - but I'd love to hear from other folks. Got an idea? Send us an email or leave a voicemail with your dream cast! One thing I'd love to do is hire (with all our millions) Shawn Pryor to come be on the show. Unfortunately, he's starting his own podcast, and I'm sure it'll have ten times our listeners by it's first show. Dr. Sexy is flying along with his Cintiq efforts, but he's become a strong advocate for The DC Comics Guide to Digitally Drawing Comics by Freddie Williams II. If you're one of them fancy digital-artiste types, you might want to check it out. And speaking of checking out - check out the video Christine stumbled across. I'm not sure if it's any good, but judging by the music video, it might possibly be the greatest movie ever made... I think we can all agree that if you're scared of clowns, you probably shouldn't watch this video. However, if you're NOT scared of clowns, it's definitely worth watching. HappyJack's been talking up Boneshaker to me, and it definitely sounds like something I want to check out. If you're into steampunk and zombies, you might want to give it a try. And just for Dr. Sexy - Rumpshaker.
