[trustyside-kick]

In Episode 5 we have a surprise for you guys! A guest appearance of a poster you all know and love...and maybe some even fear the mention of their name! Who you might ask?

Well...you'll have to tune in next time because we aren't going to tell you now. :o :awesome:

[wiegeabo]

You suck!!! :cmad:


Ok, time to listen.

[Byrd Man]

You ****heads talk too much!

[trustyside-kick]

And your posts require too many asterisks all the time!

[Byrd Man]

You can go **** yourself, you ****ing ****. Why don't you go **** yourself up the **** with a ****, until you ****, and you ****ing break off the ****ing handle.

[Batman]

Just a quick update...

Episode 5 is recorded and being edited as we speak. We had a good time basking in the raw might that is wiegeabo, our first time (and hopefully not last) special guest for the episode. :up:

[Batman]

Episode 5 is now live.

[trustyside-kick]

wieg was a good guest. Think the flow went well. We plan to have more guest appearances throughout the life of this show and I can easily see him coming back down the line.

[Byrd Man]

Good episode, you pieces of ****.

[twylight]

Just like the Star Wars movies; episode 4 is clearly the best. :atp:

[wiegeabo]

Just like the Star Wars movies; episode 4 is clearly the best. :atp:

Wrong on at least one count ;)

[Byrd Man]

So, five episodes in and I think I've heard the "Marvel said they'd slow down on events after Siege, but sales tanked..." story at least twice now. :cmad:

[twylight]

Wrong on at least one count ;)

I always knew you liked The Empire Strikes Back best! :cmad:

[wiegeabo]

Empire is the better movie,

but I've always been a Jedi fan.

[twylight]

New Hope and Jedi are my favorites.

Although Empire has great sexual tension in the beginning, I'm not a huge fan of rewatching the last half of it.

[MST3K 4ever]

Okay I may have to listen to these (hopefully) tonight.

[Spike_x1]

Even though I've been drowning in textbooks for the last few weeks and have my last exam tomorrow, I still dropped in here specifically to DL the latest podcast that I missed. You'd better appreciate it! :argh:

[wiegeabo]

psh. You'd better appreciate our sheer sexiness.

[Batman]

Yeah, especially when it comes to Byrd.

Which is odd, given he wasn't even in the recent episode.

[Spike_x1]

The effects of Byrd's sexy accent still lingers. Trust me.

[Byrd Man]

*Insert random racial slur/Southern colloquialism*

[Spike_x1]

"Aquaman can suck my aquadick" is still one of my favorites.

[twylight]

Why am I always listed last? In everything? :csad:

[SuperFerret]

What does one have to do to be a part of this? I'd like the chance to talk to some of you fools, and if it's gotta be on a fake talk radio show, so be it. :o

[Batman]

Alot of begging and grovelling. Now would be a good time to start.

By the way, quick update. Episode 6 is recorded, I'm about to start editing, but big props go out to Soze for managing to lead both myself and twy in the discussion despite having a cold and fighting off the threat of sleep. He played a huge role in making this week's episode worthwhile, in my opinion. :up:

[Byrd Man]

What does one have to do to be a part of this? I'd like the chance to talk to some of you fools, and if it's gotta be on a fake talk radio show, so be it. :o

**** you, "Mr. I'm too good to listen to people talk." **** you and your bull****! :cmad:

[SuperFerret]

Like you listen to talk radio.

[Byrd Man]

*****, please. I loves me some NPR. All Things Considered is my ****in' jam!

[twylight]

Alot of begging and grovelling. Now would be a good time to start.

Agreed. Soze did a great job! He had a lot of restraint too. :cwink:


*****, please. I loves me some NPR. All Things Considered is my ****in' jam!

:atp:

[Spike_x1]

I think Ferret and I should start our own show and just talk for an hour about how everyone else is a bunch of wieners.

[SuperFerret]

We could call it "The Off-Panel Podcast". It's a great name that hasn't already been taken.

[wiegeabo]

Sounds better than the current "John & Sergio Show"

[Spike_x1]

Episode 1

Ferret: Man, I hate those guys.

Spike: Me too.

*back and forth hatred for an hour*

Episode 2

Ferret: So, what'd you do this week?

Spike: ...I listened to The Off-Panel Podcast. Here's what they talked about...

[SuperFerret]

Episodes 3-38 would be my slow, painful descent to madness, culminating in Episode 39 when it's revealed that Spike is actually an autistic boy talking to his stuffed ferret.

[Spike_x1]

Slap that **** up on itunes!

[SuperFerret]

Episode 40 will be the gritty reboot. Spike will be wearing blue jeans and I'll be overly sexualized to the point of disturbing young children.

[Byrd Man]

:cmad: MB and I already called dibs on the first spin-off!

[Spike_x1]

Boobies!

[trustyside-kick]

Suddenly interested? One has consistently said "I don't do podcasts" while with the other I'm apparently not important enough to talk to. :dry:

[Batman]

:cmad: MB and I already called dibs on the first spin-off!

Oh, you only think he's joking.

Nope, we're that dumb. We really did.

http://dorkknights.blogspot.com/

[trustyside-kick]

And as for wieg being the first guest host, a huge factor was that I knew he was actively reading a lot of books so he would have things to talk about outside of the topic discussions.

[Byrd Man]

Oh, you only think he's joking.

Nope, we're that dumb. We really did.

http://dorkknights.blogspot.com/

'bout time :hrt:

[Batman]

I had to break the news somehow.

What better way than to interject it through Spike and SF's attempts to take over the internet as we know it?

[Byrd Man]

I had to break the news somehow.

What better way than to interject it through Spike and SF's attempts to take over the internet as we know it?

Damn right!

If anybody is gonna talk about comic **** with an unbearable sexual tension, it's gonna be us!

[Spike_x1]

Suddenly interested?I've been interested all along.

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk23/Spike_x1/Puppy_face.gif

[trustyside-kick]

Sounds better than the current "John & Sergio Show"

You saw in the episode you appeared that I tried to get Alex more involved lol. Every ep I'm typing stuff in the chat for that type of deal.

[Batman]

I've been interested all along.

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk23/Spike_x1/Puppy_face.gif

We don't want your funny Canadian accent interrupting the flow.

Of a podcast with a guy with a thick Scottish accent and another dude with a thick Southern accent.

[Spike_x1]

I see how it is. Racist.

[Batman]

I'm not going to deny it, because it's true. :up:

[twylight]

*sigh* even though the spin-off was an idea I asked Byrd about when it was clear MB, Soze and Trusty were dominating it...the second night!

:waa:

Totally a No Girls Club here.

[Keyser Soze]

Alot of begging and grovelling. Now would be a good time to start.

By the way, quick update. Episode 6 is recorded, I'm about to start editing, but big props go out to Soze for managing to lead both myself and twy in the discussion despite having a cold and fighting off the threat of sleep. He played a huge role in making this week's episode worthwhile, in my opinion. :up:

Thanks! My throat is chronic this morning, so it looks like I got the recording done just in time!

I really enjoyed this week's show. I think the flow between the three of us was great, and we all had plenty to say. Obviously the removal of trusty is the magic factor that makes everything click. :cwink:

[Keyser Soze]

*sigh* even though the spin-off was an idea I asked Byrd about when it was clear MB, Soze and Trusty were dominating it...the second night!

:waa:

Totally a No Girls Club here.

Bah! If you want a spot, you have to fight for it! Eat or be eaten! :cmad:

[Batman]

Oddly enough, there is alot of cannibal talk in this ep... :o

Speaking of which. That's now available to listen to. :up:

[trustyside-kick]

You whore. :o

[twylight]

We :hrt: you Trusty!

[Byrd Man]

She does. The rest of us can't stand you.

[Keyser Soze]

That's a pretty demonic, hacking old man cough around the 4:30 mark.

[Blacklight]

What does one have to do to be a part of this? I'd like the chance to talk to some of you fools, and if it's gotta be on a fake talk radio show, so be it. :o
Ditto!

[Hound55]

"Quit waving your taco in our sausagefest!"

[twylight]

Tacos w/ Tapatio > Sausages w/ sauerkraut

[trustyside-kick]

We now have our Off-Panel Podcast banner ready! Still making different versions and tweaks but this current one is now on the site:

http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/8994/oppbanner.png

[Hound55]

That's some good works guys, been listening to them at work.

[PriceKila]

It is not fair that everybody knows about Kamagra (http://kamagrasoftmed.com/), Cialis Super Active (http://super-cialis.com/) worked perfectly for me and moreover it is less expensive and easier to find. I almost have not experienced any side effects, at least those severe to make sex impossible. Works like a charm and of course viagra super active (http://viagrasuperactive.us/).

[trustyside-kick]

Due to technical difficulties pre and post production of last Friday's episode...there is none for last week. I will be out of town for this week's episode which sucks but hopefully things work out for the crew this week.

[wiegeabo]

********! We fought tooth and nail to get that episode recorded.

It is going online!!! :cmad:

[Byrd Man]

I'm hoping I can make my glorious return this Friday. Lucky for everyone else, I've let my rage and racism fester and build up in my body over the past month.

[trustyside-kick]

Just means that we have our first "Lost Episode of the OPP".

[twylight]

I'll also be around, but take a backseat to Byrd. Since he's returning. :hrt:

[Batman]

Never take a backseat to Byrd.

You'll regret it forever. :csad:

[Byrd Man]

Last son of a ***** to take a backseat to me was JB. Think you all know how that ended.

[trustyside-kick]

How he's off in Cuba partying it up with 'Pac, Biggie, and Elvis? Yea, we know.

[Byrd Man]

How the **** do you know what I call my backyard?! :cmad:

[Byrd Man]

After taking a "week off", and what an off week it was, a new OPP is coming tomorrow.

Whilst you wait, listen to these mother****ers!

[Batman]

I don't know who they are... but I know when I'm hearing sexy, sexy voices. :up:

[Byrd Man]

And that one guy does some ****ing awesome impressions!

[Batman]

Episode 7 of OPP is now up and running. Enjoy.

[wiegeabo]

you mean the fake episode 7 that's really episode 8 :cmad:

[Batman]

No, the Episode 7 that exists and isn't a Lost Episode. :oldrazz:

[wiegeabo]

whatever helps you sleep at night

[Batman]

Episode 8 is up, and it's a short one. Probably the easiest episode I've had to edit, actually, because we did a fairly solid job at keeping things running smoothly. :up:

Except Byrd, of course. ****er wouldn't say more than two words. :cmad:

[Byrd Man]

So sorry I was feeling sickly! I blame you! Got a damn STD from you and your goats! :cmad:

[Batman]

Get back in bed! You're delusional! My goats are clean, all of them. My mouth made sure of that. :cmad:

[Batman]

Also, because for some reason we keep doing them... (http://dorkknights.blogspot.com/2012/01/dork-knights-3-they-say-he-cant-be.html)

[Batman]

Subscriptions are now availible on iTunes for both OPP and The Dork Knights. I've posted links on my Facebook, aswell as the blog.

For now, enjoy an impromptly created replacement episode for one that we recorded last night and lost...

Episode 9 (http://offpanelpod.blogspot.com/2012/01/episode-9.html)

[Byrd Man]

Episode 10


In which the crew get creator-owned fever! Joe Mulvey, writer/artist of indie success story Scam, drops by for a chat with the boys about this week's books, while one member of the crew shames the others with his blatant laziness concerning Batman #5. They move on to discuss the stigma of comic book reading to the unwashed masses, the weekly Scalped shout out, and the joys of indie comics. Then...a goddamn monkey rapes a frog.

All the while, one member of the OPP crew sits in silence with self-lovin' on his mind. Is he the monkey or the frog in his twisted fantasy?

Listen and find out!

http://offpanelpod.blogspot.com/

[trustyside-kick]

Finally was able to tweak with Photoshop to get the results I wanted the first time around without doing INSANELY tedious work:

[MadRhapsody]

...I wanna join in. :hrt:

[Batman]

And here... we... go... :hoboj:

http://offpanelpod.blogspot.com/2012/01/episode-11.html

[Batman]

Episode 12 is up.

Best part of this ep? Listening to Soze talk for five long minutes about Alan Moore's stake in the Watchmen suite. And then hearing Byrd sum up Soze's entire point in a single sentence. :up:

[wiegeabo]

That's every episode.

someone: "So, what did you all think?"

Keyser: "ScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishSc ottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScot tishScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScotti shScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScottish ScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishSc ottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScot tishScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScotti shScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScottish ....ScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScotti shScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScottish ScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishScottishSc ottishScottishScottish."

Someone else: "I thought it was good."


Wasn't it the last episode where Keyser asked everyone a question, then proceeded to answer it himself? Even ahead of the GUEST?! :p

[Byrd Man]

The links should include a picture of my unhealthy burger! :argh:

[Batman]

If it didn't kill you, it failed to do it's job. :cmad:

[wiegeabo]

I wish it was that awesome!

[wiegeabo]

There's only one way to describe that.


America...**** YEAH!!!

[Spike_x1]

Just looking at that picture honestly made me legitimately queezy. :barf:

[Byrd Man]

That's why nobody except hippy pussies like Canada! :cmad:

[Spike_x1]

Guess that might be why your mother has no gag reflex either.

[Byrd Man]

Yep. Two things Thelma Byrdman loves: Foot long burgers and foot long penises.

[Spike_x1]

:jedi <-- not a lightsaber.

[Keyser Soze]

I think this latest episode could very well be my favourite.

[Byrd Man]

Damn right you think that! :cmad:

[Keyser Soze]

I think the more I talk, the better the show is.

[Byrd Man]

I think we need a new rule: Soze only answers with yes or no

[Spike_x1]

Yes, no, Scottish, Grant Morrison, Scottish, yes, and no.

[wiegeabo]

SGxKhUuZ0Rc

Yep, that's pretty much it.

[Spike_x1]

It's like my ears are having mini orgasms.

[Hound55]

Yes, no, Scottish, Grant Morrison, Scottish, yes, and no.

Throw in "The Standard", "Scalped", "Frank Quitely", "Jason Aaron", "Scott Snyder" and "bawbag" and he still should be able to contribute effectively.

[trustyside-kick]

I think we need a new rule: Soze only answers with yes or no

And make it something along the lines of this:
http://www.myconfinedspace.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/frank-miller-whores.png

Not new, but still great every time.

[wiegeabo]

Pro tip:

Listen to Dork Knights at double speed.

Takes half the time, and the comedy comes hard and fast.


Pun intended!

[Byrd Man]

:wow:

Someone actually listens to it?!

[Batman]

Okay, this has been in development for a few weeks now, but I think it actually manages to be more directly related to the goings-on around here because... well, it's actually about us. Coming from Byrd and I, the idiots that brought you Dork Knights humbly present...

INSIDE THE PLAYER'S STUDIO (http://dorkknights.blogspot.com/2012/02/inside-players-studio-1-master-bruce.html)

If you're interested in being a guest, drop us a line. And be sure to have Skype. :up:

[wiegeabo]

I was about to stop, because of time constraints. But my phone can play podcasts at double speed. I tried it, sounded fine, cut listening time in half.

So it really is a pro tip!

Just when you think we couldn't get any more dorkier.

[Hound55]

What happened to the regular Inside the Poster's Studio thread?

You people have run mad with power!

[Byrd Man]

Thread manager closed the old thread.

Next podcast MB and I do? Us farting into the mics for a half hour.

Still more entertaining than anything trusty has ever done or will ever do on OPP.

[Hound55]

I'd throw my name in the ring as a potential guest, but I think Byrd's brain might explode if he had to deal with "another danged immigunt"...

[Hound55]

Thread manager closed the old thread.

Next podcast MB and I do? Us farting into the mics for a half hour.

Still more entertaining than anything trusty has ever done or will ever do on OPP.

I tuned out of the podcast the OPP podcast that you and MB did... all it was was the pair of you saying "At last it's ours! At long last it's all ours!" followed by over twenty minutes of giggling which turned into maniacal cackling...

[Byrd Man]

I'd throw my name in the ring as a potential guest, but I think Byrd's brain might explode if he had to deal with "another danged immigunt"...

Plus we don't want to spend a goddamn hour talking about the one character you've ever played.

[Hound55]

I've played 3... But, point made.

Oh wait... 5. But one character only had about one or two posts... and another's appeared in less than 6 to date.

[trustyside-kick]

MB, feel free to update the first post with a section for Dork Knights and Inside the Player's Studio. All part of the Pulp Podcast Network after all right?

[Carnage27]

I've finally sat down and started listening to the Podcasts. Great job so far guys.

[Byrd Man]

Listen to Dork Knights! It's like OPP, except it has 0% of OPP's comic book analysis and 100% more gay innuendo.

[Batman]

That's slightly inaccurate.

It has 80% more gay innuendo. We still have plenty of that in OPP. :o

[Hound55]

Plus we don't want to spend a goddamn hour talking about the one character you've ever played.

"And welcome to Moviewatch, where today's special guest is Peter Ostrum who starred in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and was also in..."

"Hmm... we don't seem to have that here, what else were you in?"

"Err... that's it, just Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."

"..."

"... ok... We can make this work. Uhh, what can you tell us about working with Gene Wilder?"

"Ooh, well I can't really remember all too much about the experience, I was only 14 at the time, but what little I can remember I hold in fond regard."

"..."

"..."

"We'll be right back."

[Batman]

Episode 13 is now live, you can find the link on the front page.

Special note about this one, we were joined by our very own Andy C., who killed it as a special guest for this week. Hope to have him back very soon. :up:

[Batman]

Episode 14 is now live. Featuring comedian/comedy writer Ashley Storrie!

Different host for the episode this time, so it may take a while to upload to iTunes.

[Keyser Soze]

I'm listening to Episode 14 now. It turned out really well!

1st interview was a blast...looking froward to this one.

[Byrd Man]

You poor man. :csad:

:waa:Thank you Byrd!

Wow, we've actually made it to 15 Episodes. Truly, we have no lives. :o

(Apologies for getting it up so late. My weekend wasn't the greatest)

[Byrd Man]

Dork Knights #8 - I Saw Her First. Gotta Fly! (aka the one in which twy joins us)

In which the Dimwitted Duo momentarily become a trio, as the Dork Knight and Byrd Wonder are graced with the presence by a member of the opposite sex to discuss a bit of everything. From fake fakin' it with a pillow and the threat that multiple chins present, to the harrowing tale of one podcaster's visit to the local courthouse and a chance encounter with a judge who doesn't want you to make him angry. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. Plus, in a stunning turn of events, all three of this week's Knights individually admit to crimes committed!

AN EPISODE SO JAM-PACKED, WE COULDN'T EVEN THINK OF A CLIFFHANGER!

WHAT DASTARDLY PERILS AWAIT OUR HEROES THIS TIME?

Tune in to find out!

[Byrd Man]

Episode 16 of OPP is up: http://offpanelpod.blogspot.com/2012/03/episode-16.html

Listen in for chills, spills, thrills, and we wish AIDS on Spike.

[Byrd Man]

Also, trusty's mic goes fuzzy halfway through the show. It's not that bad, but I know it'll drive him crazy. Suck on that, Cuban!!!

[Rain Dog]

Ultimate Marvel more convoluted than 616?

Hhhhwhat?

[Byrd Man]

I stand by my statement! I regret nothing!!! Nothing!!!!!!!

[Rain Dog]

I find what's going on with the Ultimate F4 more interesting and better written than anything going on in 616. But that's just my opinion.

My glorious, objectively correct opinion.

[Byrd Man]

Well, I have a microphone and a platform and you don't. So, **** you! You're on the hate list with spike. **** you both.

[Hound55]

Well, I have a microphone and a platform and you don't. So, **** you! You're on the hate list with spike. **** you both.

Also known as the phone book...

[Byrd Man]

**** you, Spike, Rain Dog, and Aaron A. Aaronson!

[Rain Dog]

I haven't even had time to listen to the new one yet, so I'm seeing all this hatred for me without knowing what it's for. I suppose that's fair.

[Spike_x1]

Just got to the part talking about voice actors. Shame on Trusty for arguing that Ironside didn't voice Darkseid throughout all of his DCAU appearances. Shame. :nono:

[trustyside-kick]

He didn't. Watch the last appearance of Darkseid...it's not the original voice actor. Sounds completely different.

[Byrd Man]

You mean Destroyer? The last episode of JLU?

Well, guess who's credited with talking for Darkseid...

[Spike_x1]

It was indeed Ironside in every single appearance he made in the DCAU. He pitched his voice differently in JL and JLU than he did in STAS, but it was always him.ZVzGyqSbGewTwLZu_X8YBESame guy.

[Batman]

Good stuff.

[trustyside-kick]

K. Doesn't change the fact that my main point was that he sounded like s**t in Destroyer.

[Spike_x1]

False.

[trustyside-kick]

Was trying to defend him because I'm surprised that it was also him in Destroyer and not a diff actor. Was the only ep he sounded that bad.

[Spike_x1]

He sounded pretty much the same in JLU as he did in previous episodes, just pitched slightly deeper. He was as awesome as always.

[Byrd Man]

I'm getting real tired of you badmouthing my man, Ironside. :cmad:

[trustyside-kick]

He sounded pretty much the same in JLU as he did in previous episodes, just pitched slightly deeper. He was as awesome as always.

I'm not knocking his appearances in JLU, just that last episode where Darkseid comes back and he has the new look and such...the voice is different from any other appearance of the character.

He didn't sound good in that episode.

[Byrd Man]

You don't sound good in every episode! :cmad:

[Spike_x1]

I've listened to his dialogue in those clips I posted above a couple times now to compare them side by side, and despite what you say, I don't notice much difference in his voice at all, let alone any sort of noticeable drop in quality. It's just a bit deeper. :huh:

[Batman]

I'm with Spike. I listened to both clips back-to-back, and Ironside's voice isn't even near the level of stark contrast as, say, Conroy when he first started doing BTAS and his Batman voice in the current media.

[Byrd Man]

I agree with them. I haven't listened to a goddamn thing. I just love it when trusty is wrong.

[wiegeabo]

I gotta side with trusty (god help me).

When I first watched the episodes, I was ticked that they weren't using Ironside. Then as it went on, I started wondering if it actually was him after all.

So there is a noticeable difference, and you're all just tone deaf.

[Batman]

:cmad:

*adds wieg to enemies list*

[Spike_x1]

I mean, at least it's not a comparison between Ironside and this guy (who I actually didn't mind too much, but he's no Mike):ZE5RXhPwlKcThe difference between them is really noticeable, whereas I had to listen to those Ironside clips above more than once before I could really detect the slight difference in the pitch of his voice.

[Spike_x1]

So there is a noticeable difference, and you're all just tone deaf.The only thing I noticed was that it was exactly the same actor as before, just with a touch more gravity in his voice. So I guess tone deafness equals pretty accurate hearing...?

Dork Knights #9 - He Didn't Even Lose A Limb!


In which the Dimwitted Duo once again ponder what it would take to win in a battle of two historical figures, forgoing the approach of evil vs. evil and instead matching up crazy vs. crazy, pairing might with right and awesome against awesomeness. It's a duel to the death, and The Dork Knights are making it a recurring theme! Whoever wins, we lose. Bully!

http://dorkknights.blogspot.com/2012/03/dork-knights-9-he-didnt-even-lose-limb.html

THE BYRD WONDER... LEFT FOR DEAD?

THE DORK KNIGHT... GUNNING FOR HEADS?

IS THIS THE BITTER END FOR OUR HEROES?

Tune in to find out! (http://www.archive.org/download/DorkKnightsEp9/DKEp9.mp3)

[Byrd Man]

Episode 17 is now up and running:

http://offpanelpod.blogspot.com/2012/03/episode-17.html

[Byrd Man]

New ITPS with Soze as our guest: http://dorkknights.blogspot.com/2012/03/inside-players-studio-3-keyser-soze.html

[Batman]

I recommend listening to this one. Instead of us jokers making fools of ourselves, Soze actually brings an amount of class and dignity to the program. Plus, he relives the infamous "LibrarianThorne" rant and the insanity behind Project Icarus. Awesome stuff. :up:

[wiegeabo]

Is that the LT rant from OU or WoH?

[Byrd Man]

Listen and find out! :cmad:

[Spike_x1]

Man, I had no idea that LT did all that. I really only knew the guy as a writer and had nothing but praise for him after working together when he played Superman in WoH.

Of course I heard a few things here and there after he left, but no one was really talking about it in any of the games I was in at the time. People were just oddly silent whenever the topic would briefly come up, so it's interesting to finally hear about what happened.

[trustyside-kick]

I always had such good talks with him on AIM. Lots of good feedback from him and we bounced ideas off each other.

I remember one time I invited him to come back to the games and that was shortly after I became an AGM of DC...**** hit the fan in the OOC thread with people like Keyser and twy and GL not wanting him back. None of you guys told me anything other than LT calling her a hack writer so I didn't realize it was as personal in the attacks as it was.

Hence I looked like the bad guy backing him up. :o

[Byrd Man]

Eh, I had the same thing happen with me too. We all got fooled!

[trustyside-kick]

But that was the time where seemed like everyone minus byrd was against me and I almost quit from just not feeling welcomed.

[Byrd Man]

But that was the time where seemed like everyone minus byrd was against me and I almost quit from just not feeling welcomed.

Get some thicker skin! You should be used to it by now, not being welcomed in this country on a daily basis! :cmad:

[trustyside-kick]

Getting the stink eye for doing my job? Was when started the reports on last time people post that I was asked to do after it was approved. People took that **** so personal. You ask me everyone else needed to grow a thicker skin. I recall it started off because I had the time and dates of last post...copy and paste motherf****ers! Not because I was that meticulous! That's what started the downward spiral.

[Byrd Man]

Calm down! It was a joke, *****.

[trustyside-kick]

I know. :huh:

[Byrd Man]

Well, stop bringing it up! Wanna ***** about it? You can, when it's your turn to come on! :cmad:

[Spike_x1]

You're tearing me apart, Librarianthorne!

[Byrd Man]

Nearly five years later and that ****head is still causing chaos!

[wiegeabo]

I knew they guy was a dick, but I didn't know some of the stuff he did.

But I was around in OU when all that **** went down, and it was pretty much all his fault. It sucked. One of the best posting sessions EVER turned to **** because of his obsessive need to control an arc.

[Spike_x1]

Examples! I love gossip!

[Byrd Man]

From the talk, I gathered a big thing was when Sparta, the guy playing Mr. Fantastic, had Reed use the Ultimate Nullfier on Darkseid and LT just when "**** no. It won't work on Darkseid because he is teh awesome ****!!!" and had 'Seid proceed to kill Reed.

[Spike_x1]

:dry:

[wiegeabo]

And that wasn't the end of it.

But before that, the two just couldn't agree on how to end things. LT kept shooting down all of Sparta's ideas, but refused to share how he wanted things to end.


...hmm, I just realized that talking about it here means less content for the podcast...


So then LT and Sparta started arguing and... ;)

[Spike_x1]

...Orgy?

[Byrd Man]

Handjobs for everybody!!!

[Spike_x1]

That was my original idea for how to end the Unity storyarc back in the day, but SuperFerret had to come along and ruin it. :cmad:

[wiegeabo]

Well, I thought Byrd might want to save it for the podcast...but **** him.

They started arguing, and Darkseid kills Reed. And Sparta completely ignores this and has Reed use the Nullifier to beat Darkseid. So we technically had two continuities at that moment, and none of us other players knew which one to use. Although most everyone, that I can remember, was ticked at LT's yelling and berating, and those two putting each other on ignore and what not, and did a couple of posts using Sparta's continuity.

Eventually, LT left, or was kicked out, or both, Reed beats Darkseid, and the universe moved on.


Which was why when LT was let into WoH I was just waiting for things to turn to **** like OU.

[Byrd Man]

Well, I thought Byrd might want to save it for the podcast...but **** him.

Well, it's not like either one are still around to interview! :cmad:

[trustyside-kick]

Which was why when LT was let into WoH I was just waiting for things to turn to **** like OU.

He actually respectfully said that to not upset people he would not though. And so he never actually rejoined WoH.

[Blacklight]

Heh. I can listen to you nerds on my iPod now. :hehe:

[Byrd Man]

You're the ****ing nerd nerdy enough to actually download and listen to this bull****. :cmad:

[Byrd Man]

Episode 18 is uploaded... And it's over two goddamn hours long!

http://offpanelpod.blogspot.com/2012/03/episode-18.html

[wiegeabo]

Thank god for double speed

[Hound55]

It's two hours long because an unnamed Scottish member discussed Saga for 45 minutes, didn't he?

[Batman]

............






































Maybe.

[Hound55]

Sold!

The best part of my week was when I found out that not only had Saga snuck up on me and come out this week (after I asked numerous times at my LCBS when it was coming out to no response and quizzical expressions) but that I had enough, to the cent, to pick it up this week.

[trustyside-kick]

The worst book of the week got the most attention was part of the issue...I guess I need to not be lazy anymore and move this **** along more! See what happens when I don't act like myself, guys?! Show falls apart! :oldrazz:

[Hound55]

You just can't help running head first into that "Lazy Mexican" comeback, can you..?

[Byrd Man]

I refuse to let you tell me what to do! :cmad:

Burn in Hell, Martinez!!!

[trustyside-kick]

You just hate to admit that I make this b**** run. :awesome:

[Byrd Man]

**** you, Mario.

[Hound55]

I'm picturing all of his other co-workers with name tags reading "Hi! I'm ..." with just one worker's uniform including an insultingly fake moustache and a name tag reading "Eeets-a me-a Mario!"

[Spike_x1]

...sounds like my old landscaping job. :huh:

[Byrd Man]

New Dork Knights! MB and I partake in a trivia contest!!!


http://dorkknights.blogspot.com/2012/04/dork-knights-11-riddle-me-this.html

[wiegeabo]

There were no survivores.

[Batman]

...There was also a new episode of some podcast, can't remember the name of it...

http://offpanelpod.blogspot.com/2012/04/episode-20.html

[wiegeabo]

Again, no survivors.

[Keyser Soze]

Last night's recording was hilarious. If half of what we were laughing our asses off last night conveys in the finished recording when it's uploaded, you folks are in for a treat. :P

[Keyser Soze]

If the thought of trustyside-kick in a speedo or me getting bummed by a strap-on excites you, then this latest episode is the podcast for you:

http://offpanelpod.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/episode-25.html

[Byrd Man]

And now you've scared people off...

[Hound55]

Didn't there used to be something called The Dork Knights?

Or did I dream that... Is it produced by Jim Lee, where a deadline is really just a "rough guide"?

And whatever happened to In The Poster's Studio?

Without Byrd and Batman's dulcet tones I just don't know how to make sense of the world anymore...

*Falls to floor sobbing*

[Byrd Man]

We have like, six DK episodes in the can, two of them ITPS episodes, but MB is in charge of editing. That's all the answers you need.

If you haven't listened to it, hear as I recount my trip to an execution: http://dorkknights.blogspot.com/2012/04/dork-knights-13-or-should-i-say.html

[Eddie Brock]

None of you f***ers sound like what I pictured(?) in my head. Except maybe trusty. My mind has been blown.

[Byrd Man]

The **** did you expect? The Scot sounds like a Scot, the dumbass sounds like a dumbass, the hick sounds like a hick, and the chick sounds like a chick.

[Batman]

The **** did you expect? The Scot sounds like a Scot, the dumbass sounds like a dumbass, the hick sounds like a hick, and the chick sounds like a chick.

Why'd you count yourself twice?

[Byrd Man]

I'm sorry, I should have specified. The dumbass from Indiana sounds like a dumbass from Indiana.

[Eddie Brock]

I'm sorry, I should have specified. The dumbass from Indiana sounds like a dumbass from Indiana.
Bit redundant, don't you think?

[wiegeabo]

Yeah, basically you're saying he's from Indiana.

[Batman]

**** you. :up:

If we ever do one of those anything goes rpg's again, please bring back dark master Matt

[Byrd Man]

That is too much awesomeness to include into one RPG.

[Eddie Brock]

Superb defense of the Superman mythos, Andy. Having people talk s*** about Superman is one of my biggest pet peeves.

[Batman]

I think that and the unnecessary stigma against Robin - which Andy also briefly touched upon in the episode - are the biggest misconceptions in comics that can genuinely piss me off.

[trustyside-kick]

Recorded back in Feb? Geez you guys are lazy.

[Byrd Man]

Guys? As in plural?

Please.

[Eddie Brock]

I think that and the unnecessary stigma against Robin - which Andy also briefly touched upon in the episode - are the biggest misconceptions in comics that can genuinely piss me off.
True. Also, I hate when the general audience lets sh***y movies influence their opinion of the character in general. I know so many people who think Spider-Man's a sh***y character because of Spider-Man 3.

[Saved]

True. Also, I hate when the general audience lets sh***y movies influence their opinion of the character in general. I know so many people who think Spider-Man's a sh***y character because of Spider-Man 3.
What about Spider-Man 1 and 2? Did they skip those? :confused:

[Andy C.]

People don't like to talk about stuff that's actually good in a franchise when it has something easy to ***** about. Like how nobody can talk about all the good stuff in Star Wars without bringing up the prequels.

[wiegeabo]

When did Star Wars have prequels?

:confused:

[Eddie Brock]

When did Star Wars have prequels?

:confused:
:up:

[trustyside-kick]

Someone should make a Siri video where the user asks Siri if she can search for the Phantom Menace Blu-Ray on Amazon and have Siri refuse to and give reasons as the user keeps asking why. Repeat process as the user asks about the other prequels.

On par with the Racist Siri video that is so ridiculously awesome. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhhwqbabxYY)

:awesome:

[Byrd Man]

That's my kind of phone!

[wiegeabo]

I think that might be better than the Scottish Siri.

[Hound55]

...

[wiegeabo]

Something I kept forgetting to bring up after listening to the episode with Andy is how he found the games because they were in the Comic forums.

We really need to get the games back in those forums. Even if it's just the main Marvel game IC thread for the Marvel comics forum, and the main DC game IC thread for the DC forum. That way we don't clutter things up, but people see them.

[Byrd Man]

MB's talked to the mods a few time, he said they didn't want to move them. But, hey, you're a red name now. Do what that sorry ass sum***** couldn't!

[wiegeabo]

Screw moving them. Just create a new IC thread in them and pick up with the posting (or new season) there.

Word. That's how I found them as well. And since we're literally in the basement, no one's just gonna happen upon this forum. At the least, can't we get the Basement Forum moved up to where Fan Fiction or the Comics Forum is?

[Byrd Man]

Screw moving them. Just create a new IC thread in them and pick up with the posting (or new season) there.

I see how it is. Not enough pull to get real stuff done, eh?
