Forum for Geeks

Our trickster trio are here to pleasure your ear holes again this week. We don't have a geek out segment, but there is plenty more for you. We have a top 5 worst things to do a top 5 about. We media mania all over your earholes. There is a new phone, new car, new computer! Liz crumbles under peer pressure. And finally we have a special appearance by Sara, who talks about golf and boobs!

We pleasure your earholes in this latest 'cast, off the record.

ok so this was my first official listening and boy was I not disappointed. I don't know if I'm podstalking Shaw or Mistress, but Crazy Clees had me entertained as well. I was in the office laughing my ass off. It was nice change of pace to hear familiar voices talk about other pop culture stuff.

1. Regina Spektor is pretty cool, I have to listen to the new one.
2. Mistress if something becomes "not fun" drop it. Dont let those haters ruin your fun.
3. Too bad you couldnt used your first title it was hilarious.
4. Boobs totally get in the way of a lot of things. Shooting Pool is a problem for me.
5. I tried Archer but maybe I'll give it another chance.
6. Battlestar Galactica, ah man I love that show, they can do no wrong in my eyes. The day after the finale I got this (I added my libra star chart in red instead of the ones for Starbuck or Anders):

haha

7. The Doctor is awesome, of course
8.I liked the original dark shadows and the rebooted show but I cant bring myself to see Tim Burtons as much of a fan I am of his and Johnny Depp.
9. I would so make out with ScarJo, I mean that girls got lips. And I saw her naked pics they weren't bad. She wasnt bad as Black Widow just needed more to do.

Well that's all I can remember to comment on at the moment.

Glad you laughed! Thanks for listening. Pretty sweet ink. Like how you personalized it. You should give Archer another try. IT took Liz a few episodes to get into it. I'm pretty sure I am ok with being added to most people's stalk list. Hopefully you'll give a few more of our eps a go.

Ohhh! Gadget reviews to start off.

I agree, guys don't name cars.

Are you planing to upgrade to the new Macbook Pro since your still under the return policy Ryan?

That injure top 5 episode was gross and awesome at the same time.

I love Pineapple but not on Pizza.

Haha! There's no "D" in Bingo.

Sorry Liz but I had to do one Gambit dig. It's been to long.

Nerd time: The 3DO was a Panasonic made game console. It was the first CD based game console too. ID made Doom.

Yay! For skipping over the Diablo 3 talk.

Xbox live has been a deserted waste land recently. This episode is making me miss some multiplayer with the whole group now.

Whoa! Sara cameo.

The Avengers movie was good stuff.

HAHA! Yep I was just thinking about tweeting about Scarlet Johansson boobs. That was a great call Liz. I'm not making that up.

Devil was okay but the old woman being the Devil was obvious.

Love the Sarah Jessica Parker jokes.

I can't watch Bob's Burgers either because the art looks so bad.

Mitch is annoying on the Killing. Good ole Ensign Ro.

Game of Thrones OTR Jonathan joke = awesome.

HAHA! Worst Spoiler Alert ever.

Holy Shit! Jonathan talks about starting the cat podcast after mentioning it on The Big One forum. Crazy!

SNL had a bad season overall. Yes! No more Gilly.

Crazy Girl is still missing from the X-cast Facebook page.

I like the enhanced podcast file now. Props to Ryan with that new Macbook magic.

A really funny episode peoples off the record.

I dunno yet if I'll upgrade. I probably should.

You a lll GOTTA give Bob's burgers a chance.

I do miss me some Xbox. The games on the PS3 are just, meh.

Glad you like (and more importantly, that it worked) the enhanced podcast.

Uncharted 3 wasn't BAD. It was good. Just not great. And may it was because I played them back to back, I got a little bored with the climbing and whatnot.

Making an enhanced podcast is a pain. Editing the normal mp3 for Bat-Radia takes about an hour; doing the enhanced version added 30 minutes to an hour. Plus extra upload/posting/show notes time. I'm lazy, is what I'm getting at.

Switching all your stuff from 1 Mac to another is easy. Just make a Time Machine backup on the one, restore on the other. Takes a couple hours, but it's worth it. Do it. Get the new one. Or get a price difference refund. Either way.

I don't remember saying anything about a cat podcast on the B1 forum...

Just started, I don't know about computers, but I definitely named my iPhone "dat ass"

Every time I want to save what I have, iTunes tells me it backing up "dat ass"

Hey, jonathon and I had the same #1s.

Maybe clees could do a top 5 inappropriate work atire?

oh please do, if it wouldn't get me in trouble some how i would post pics of the people I work with haha.

I named all of my cars my purple civic was "The Purple People Eater", "Betty" was my protege 5 cause it was perky with minor mods. My pathfinder is "Blue Lightening" which people make fun of cause it's an SUV.I never planned on naming them but it came about more from Jokes.

I do name my computers and phones though cause apple asks you to

Mystery Solved! Naming cars is a girl thing.

you guys just unlocked another mystery that is woman haha.

also I really want to take Liz to the movies she's missed two bigs ones this year

The tone of the podcast seems to have changed since Episode 18: Elimination Communication. There was a fascinating awkwardness permeating that episode. Now it feels like I'm a fly-on-the-wall listening to three friends hanging out. Where did the Australian guy who kept digging into Rob Briscoe's personal life go? Don't want to sound like a Debbie Downer though, still a good podcast.

I understand why Mistress Lebeau is posting less frequently on the X-Cast board. But with her podcast schedule I figure it's only a matter of time before she's on a Three's Company episode.

Does Shaw's dislike of nerd bands mean he didn't enjoy Uncanny X-Cast Episode 50? I'm also mildly suprised that he stopped watching Network. It's one of my favourite movies and Shaw seems to have a similar sense of humour to my own.

We had a falling out. The Australian guy retired. Jonathan and Elizabeth are my cohorts now. Im glad it sounds like fly on the wall. That is what we aim for, friends talking about geek things and hopefully other people like it!

Shaw surprises me sometimes with his likes and dislikes. A complicated man...
