Cool, my skype name is edietel, so I'll be online and message-able. I'll be available at 4!

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2
 

Great success gentlemen. The whole process went much much smoother than last time. I'm gonna do some editing stuff, possibly set this up to go on iTunes. We'll see how that works out.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2
 

So you're the one doing the editing this time? What did you think of the music clips I suggested?

(Not asking because I want to boost my ego. I'm just interested to know if you think I'm on the right track or if I should just shut up and let you do your thing.)

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2
 

I think it's a good idea. I'm gonna search around there and do some work. Hopefully I'll have something ready by the end of the night.

The Nerds are back, and they have a delicious episode on Tap for you. This week the Nerds look at the Summer movie line-up. With the armoured Avenger leading the charge, what stands out in this season? Bungie may be making headlines this week with the release of the Halo: Reach beta, but it was there deal with Activision that has the world talking, the Nerds tackle this merger and predict what will come out of the partnership. Finally in Cocktail Chatter, they look at the current day Watergate, what its like to be a Hero for a day and a tales of tits gone wrong. Seat back, pull up a chair and spend an hour with the Nerds

Listen and enjoy. The whole process went much better so you can enjoy a nicer longer recording that's easy on the ears.

Featured music
This week I threw in some little ditties in between our segments. For those who are curious this week we featured:

Edan - Fumbling Over Words (Battle) by Team Teamwork


Mamacitas in My Valley OC ReMix [Gerudo Valley]


Feedback here ladies and gents.

Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

Now that episode 2 is up for grabs, let's get cracking on what we should bring up for next week. I know we mentioned some stuff in episode 2, but if you would be so kind as to put that stuff in this thread along with any other suggestions.

Recording is set for 4-5 PM EST on Sunday May 9th. I know that's Mother's Day so if we can't get enough people to pitch in for that time, I'm more than willing to try for Monday night or Saturday night.

On Tap - Iron Man 2 afterthoughts (POSSIBLY)
Question of the Week - 3D? Should it stay or should it go?

Since this helps people out,

In this episode, as far as I know

Segment one: Summer movie Previews
A look at the movies coming out this summer. What movies will you see without reviews? Which will you need to wait and see on?

Segment 2: Bungie/Activision deal
Yeah, the big news of the week, Activision and Bungie's pact with the devil.

Segment 3:
Make A Wish Turns kid into a Superhero

~Edit~
How can you folks not know Dolph Lundgren!
He's Ivan Drago from Rocky IV! He will break you!

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

It neat to hear peoples voices, and how they are nothing like you imagined....

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

BreakABone's voice is just as I imagined.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

YES. YES. Good job guys. Awesome, it improved from the first podcast. It was easier to hear everyone, it flowed good....and hearing the legendary Xantar was quite interesting in a good way of course.

I'm looking forward to the future of these podcasts.

I think we need to definitely keep organized categories, and definitely need everyone to introduced themselves with their forum name.

Also....

Is there a way to get this podcast "out there." You know, like out on the rest of the Internet? A place that hosts podcasts. Ya know?

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

BTW:

Reason comic sequel is better than original....it's because you get over the origin story. Spidey 2 had already established things, X2 had established the characters and the villain (basically, Magneto's badassness), etc.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

I need to get an RSS feed set up to submit it to iTunes so that might be something I'll work on either today or tomorrow.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

Also bumping due to edits for music featured in this week's podcast.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

That's pretty much what I w as going to say.

Without the bloat of an origin story, they are usually able to spin a better tale. The problem than becomes the 3rd movie when directors want to take the heroes where they've never been before.

I mean Superman 3 (I believe its 3) was the one that featured the clone Superman getting drunk.

Spiderman 3 wanted to examine Spiderman's dark side.

X-Men 3 opened up Jean's dark psychic.

Batman 3 just changed tonal completely.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

This episode was much improved over last week. Nice job.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

By the time we record this podcast, Iron Man 2 will be in theaters. Since we talked for a while about it in the last podcast, we should spend some time (maybe a whole segment) talking about it in this one. I'll be happy to come back and prove myself wrong (or right, as the case may be).

Possible Question of the Week topics: what do you think about 3-D?

Also, if we're ever in a slow period, we could do an advice column. I've got lots of fun letters we could respond to.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

I think this is a great idea!

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

Iron Man 2 is a good idea.

I was thinking about doing a segment on Mother's in nerd-dom. Like popular maternal figures from like comics, games, movies, etc

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

Quite good. Something I'd listen to even if I didn't know you fellows. Thought it ended too soon...which is always a good thing. Nice music choices as well.

You guys deserve a decent logo. So I created one to tide you over until then. ;)

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

Virginia state seal in case you're too lazy to look it up.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

Thanks. That's what I forgot to ask. Shownotes that link to what you talked about.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

If you talk about Iron Man 2 I'd put up a spoiler warning and maybe the start and end times for the discussion so folks can skip if they don't want to be spoiled.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

Or we could do it out of order and save it for the end

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

I saw a prescreening of IM2, but I can't imagine anybody's going to want me to ruin it by talking about it, even if the podcast isn't released until after the official release.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

Well like I had said we're gonna try and record it on Sunday or maybe Saturday or Monday night since Mother's Day is this weekend.

The sooner we establish a schedule for recording the better. We don't want this to go the way the old podcast did.

Whether or not reviews suck, I must know.

Edit: There's also this

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 2 is here and ready to download!
 

I masturbate to this picture, frequently.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

No suggestions, guys? Earl was saying that we probably shouldn't do IM2 since it would depend on people seeing it before Saturday or whenever we record.

Also we need a third guest for the show. Don't make me beg and plead to Earl to finally stop by to give his two cents for once.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

I'll volunteer unless somebody is all of the sudden going to jump in the thread with some great ambition.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

If you're down then I'm all for it.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

When you do a search for the show's title, Wonka.com is right above GT.

Segment on candy of yore? Nerds, Dweebs, Crybabies, Warheads, etc.?


Also, it's up on iTunes now. Used the first logo. :(

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

I had already submitted it to Feedburner and iTunes before the pic got put up here dude, sorry. If I can change it later I'll look it up but I'm at work.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

I'm in, and I'll definitely be ready to talk about Iron Man 2.

I just want to say that I thought of Ask GameTavern as more of a second topic type of deal. It is, after all, a question submitted to "us." And I suggested it more as something to talk about when we have nothing else going on. Since we clearly have plenty to talk about this week, I would suggest we scrap the advice column for some other week and continue with each person's individual cocktail chatter. I personally thought it went rather well last time.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

I agree. There's always something interesting going on and the internet is a plethora of retarded and interesting news.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

Is it also safe to assume that we have TML, and Xantar as our other two hosts this week? If so then lemme know when you guys are good to record this weekend. The latest I can do anything is Monday night since I'm flying up to Boston the day after.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

Alright guys, let's see if we can get a solid time down for recording. I'm catching IM2 tonight with the family so I'm ready to go to talk about that.

I know Xantar caught it too, and he's got his story down for cocktail chatter. I have mine as well.

Who's down for recording tomorrow? I'm free for the night.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

I saw it. And tomorrow works fine.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

Awesome. I'm checking out a matinee today with my mom for Mother's Day so I'll be ready to go. Chill out on AIM until I get back but I shouldn't be back late unless my mom wants to go out for dinner.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

I'm hitting the matinee showing for IM2 at 4 about a half hour south from me. So I'll be on but a bit later than when we normally record.

Re: Nerds on the Rocks Episode 3
 

Alright I took longer than I thought. TML is out so if there are any takers to do something right now, Xantar and I are ready to go. Just send me an IM on AIM or Skype me: scarz0ftime
