it's normally bi-weekly, but we had a guest

it'll be a rarity to have two episodes in two consecutive weeks

Hey, you removed the annoying TM!

The only annoying thing left is that it goes One, 2, 3.

I definitely think that those dirtbag guys buys their bullshit-they live their delusion, which is why they can keep on. They would snap back into reality at some point but their readers basically provide raw energy to keep the delusion running.

Glad Andrew made a reference to "The Secret" in this discussion, it's a good comparison.

totally, and I promise I will not sit there and say how awesome conquest of the aegean/highway to the reich is the whole time.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #11 on:** February 16, 2009, 01:15:36 PM »

dude, i'll bet you could come up with a list of good games i'd never even heard of before

Fragamemnon · « **Reply #12 on:** February 16, 2009, 01:20:42 PM »

it's interesting-the difference between, say, tongue-speaking, demon-exorcising Southern Baptists, raging libertarian distinguished mentally-challenged fellows, and roissy is basically a different ruleset. Think of their sort of self-contained, fully closed set bubble framework like you would GURPS or a programming API-a generic framework by which anyone can implement their own ruleset provided that it meets the appropirate public interfaces.

mixing metaphors, but yeah you get my drift.

i wish there were a way to link this up on GAF without causing a big deal or forum drama, as i think there'd be a bunch of folks in the off-topic section who might dig it

i've personally never had a problem with evilore (i don't even think we've ever interacted, to be honest), and our show only has the slightest connection to this site, as we do a lot of general interest subjects and leave out the wink-wink insider jokes for the most part

I'm tempted to ask if I can post one that I'm on later if it happens, if only because the longtime mod staff-Hito, Evilore, Tekno, Dragona-are people I've always had a good relations with.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #15 on:** February 16, 2009, 01:30:18 PM »

oh, it'll happen, we intend to have guests every show from now on unless scheduling prevents

three people makes for a good cross-talk dynamic, and it turned out that we didn't have much lag at all on skype

it was also a lot easier to edit than i thought it would be (either that, or i'm just getting better at it)

you'll miss all the cool links and shit on the page, though, and i can't overstress how your enjoyment of the dramatization will be enhanced by reading that chick tract as you listen

I'm loving it so far, great observations on Roissy - one thing I've noticed is that the accents/speech seem a bit more exaggerated - Eel's southern twang (LOL at pewwwwwn!) and Drinky's slight lisp are definitely more prevalent this time around.

border · « **Reply #24 on:** February 16, 2009, 02:10:05 PM »

Only halfway through so far - best episode yet, I think.

Eel's assertion that you should be "self-deprecating" with women struck me as dangerous, though. That only makes it easier for them to reject you ("he knows he's not attractive so he'll understand if I go fuck this guy with a truck"). Either that or they'd place you into the "funny friend that I have" category.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #25 on:** February 16, 2009, 02:15:02 PM »

well, i really just meant "don't be afraid to laugh at yourself" and not "proclaim yourself lame" but i am just not good with the...words?

Eel is 39 years old? Really? He doesn't sound that old.

Andrew is very good as well. Shame on him for using the word "quadrilogy" though.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #31 on:** February 16, 2009, 02:53:16 PM »

i don't really look it, either

but i sure do feel it

border · « **Reply #32 on:** February 16, 2009, 02:56:28 PM »

Plus I think the format of the podcast makes you seem more youthful -- it's like you are the precocious youngster gettin' life lessons from Granpa Doug. It's been good to have a couple segments in your own areas of expertise (internet dating, celebrities in comics) too though.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #33 on:** February 16, 2009, 03:01:29 PM »

i have to figure out a way to slip "Granpa Doug" in there next time

Van Cruncheon · « **Reply #34 on:** February 16, 2009, 03:03:02 PM »

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #36 on:** February 16, 2009, 03:26:17 PM »

Good job. You guys have really great radio voices.

The people at GAF should allow a link to the podcast. A lot of Gaffers would love the borecast. It's like a 1up podcast with more intelligence and interesting topics.

Point of order! Bill Hicks was featured in an issue of Preacher.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #41 on:** February 16, 2009, 04:36:06 PM »

Did he appear? I know he was mentioned, but I couldn't remember whether they actually featured an appearance.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #42 on:** February 16, 2009, 04:58:58 PM »

Well, he wasn't actually a part of any Preacher-centric story, but his stand-up was featured pretty extensively in a flashback. I think it counts!

I have to say, you guys are getting this thing down. Good stuff and I liked the dynamic of a 3rd person. Patel's voice was pretty much how I heard it in my head.

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #43 on:** February 16, 2009, 05:08:03 PM »

his rendition of "debbie" made me turn off my mic a couple of times so it wouldn't pick up my snickering

yeah, i guess i kinda blew it with the bill hicks preacher thing

also, KISS really did put drops of their own blood in the comic ink - http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/kissblood.asp

Eel O'Brian · « **Reply #45 on:** February 16, 2009, 09:40:23 PM »

this is the best episode we've done imo, and we're only going to get better

do us a favor and drop the borecast link - www.borecast.com on any forums or whatever you guys might frequent

add us as a friend on facebook, the profile name is Borecast Doug Kevin

submit us to digg or delicious or whatever

i've submitted to around 75 different RSS feed directories, but it hasn't been hitting on much download-wise

i can't make anyone listen, but it is a good show and i'd like to get it out there more, and short of spending money i'm willing to whore wherever it takes, so if anyone has any suggestions lemme know

i'm even considering a myspace page $:-\$

when your show goes up lemme know and i'll post links and talk it up on our cast

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #48 on:** February 16, 2009, 09:47:07 PM »

My thoughts:

Part One: Good. Very good. Despite a lot of the outrage that a lot of you guys had for Roissy, there was too much agreement or at least a "yeah, well..." It just seemed inconsistent.

Part Two: I might have to check into that. I love free shit, regardless of financial situation.

Part Three: Eh, not a fan. Not because of you guys but because the topic frankly did not interest me

Part Four: LOL

Overall, I think it is an improvement. The material overall is getting better and better, it is getting presented better, and Vestal seems to be a good addition to the show. Best episode yet. Good jon, guys.

The Cat and the Canary
The Ghost Breakers
The Princess and the Pirate

are all excellent stand alones, and the road films kind of hold up, but then i still really like that kind of comedy
