Ladies and gentlemen, we are just a TAD late this week, but finally after two recordings, The Nerds have returned.

This week Tony Stark joins the Nerds for a drink, and we promise he won't be dancing this time! Also, we look at the recent resurgence of 3D, but we all dream for a Holodeck. Finally, Cocktail Chatter ends the night before we give our last call. Some like it shaken, some like it stirred, but everyone loves their Nerds on the Rocks.

I did include a warning in the audio, but if you want to skip the IM2 talk, go to 27 minutes in.

Good show. In the beginning I was like "Oh, Xantar's doing an accent for the intro....wait....he's staying with it....did he sound like that last ep...." Should develop that persona. Though would be kind of funny if sounded completely different for each episode.

It gets better with each week!

Iron Man II...1 thumb up....Nerds on the Rock...2 thumbs up!

Count Xantar was good, and I forgot how BaB sounds. I'll see if I can get skype going with BaB and someday I wouldn't mind contributing.

Also...I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught the scene from the trailer that wasn't in the movie. I mean what the fuck!

KillerGremlin · 05-15-2010, 05:31 AM

Aww and no one made a comment on Jon Favreau's self-masturbation super cameo?

Xantar · 05-15-2010, 10:36 AM

People kept saying I didn't sound like what they thought Xantar sounded like last week, so I decided to fix that. I did say that I was drunk and acting like an IGN editor last time, so I'm not sure why it surprised anyone.

To be honest, I had no idea it was him until long afterward. I guess director's prerogative allows him to put his head in between Scarlett Johannson's legs.

Just finished catching up on all the 'casts, and must say that you guys are doing an awesome job. The sweet-spot definitly seems to be around :45 to an hour - easy listenin and a good amount of discussion.

Who's the one that sounds like Cartman?

Edit: The name works, in the last weeks I assumed Nerd on the Rocks was a new TV show.

Ha, not sure which of us you mean.

I was really frustrated with my mic because I felt like it kept picking up my consonants and I sounded like I had a lisp. Different mic maybe, or at least add a filter.

After reading that, Nerd on the Rocks (singular) sounds better, imo. I dunno, comes off of the tongue easier and fits the standard drink format

BreakABone · 05-20-2010, 12:12 AM

I didn't know I sounded like cartman, don't think I've ever gotten that one.

As for the name, Nerd/Nerds, I guess it depends on your taste. Either works for me, but since more than one person, I think prefer Nerds.

And segments, I generally framed it this way because you may not have enough content for an hour long discussion, like this week, we hardly have anything (?)

Teuthida · 05-20-2010, 07:12 AM

For content just skim any comic, movie, or game site for news and pick a couple that have an opinion about.

This week Nathan Fillion has been rumored to be playing Ant-Man in Edgar Wright's new movie. (OMG!) You could have a new segment called Rumor Brew or The Rumor Brewery.

Can talk about the trailer for The Cape.

Earl, you can go on and talk about seeing Kevin Conroy and maybe get into some talk about Arkham 2...and it's connection to a 16-year-old girl's birthday party.

If there are any TV shows that all the hosts of that particular week watch you could talk about that.

I don't follow game news...there has to be something worth talking about. Release of some new game?

There's always technology and science talk if anyone is interested in a new device or discovery.

Angrist · 05-19-2010, 11:33 AM

Apparently I meant Earl.

(BTW, I don't really follow South Park, so I might have gotten it wrong.)

Anyway, that was a pretty good podcast.

Perhaps next time you could focus on more topics, and not spend 20 minutes talking about the same thing.

I have a feeling this is going to be a learning experience and we'll try out a few formats before settling on something. But I agree, smaller segments would be easier to swallow.
