Obsessive Comics Disorder | A Geek Comedy Podcast

2014-08-17 20.04.40 We are back!  Pardon our mess as my studio flooded last month and we are finally to the point where we can record again.  We slowly figure out what this podcasting thing is again, and try out a couple of new things (I try telling jokes, for instance).  In addition to that, with Gen Con this past weekend we take some time to talk about some new games that we are interested in. This week's hashtag - #failedgenconreleasesLast week's #reallifevideogamings:Chris: “Mailing out invitations for friends to come farm crops next to my fields” “For Philip - tactically taking out enemy vermin (groundhogs) sneaking into your base (yard)” “Packing up a moving truck” “Throwing banana peels on NASCAR tracks during a race” “Why is it every ti

I never would have imagined that a story about sunflower seeds would end up on this show, but sure enough we managed to get one in this week.  Plus, Philip decides to go Call of Duty on Mother Nature, and send us your best #reallivevideogaming for next week's show.  All that and much more! - This Just In Giggling Woman Accused Of Crashing Truck, Eating Pot In Cop Car (VIDEO) http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/24/tavish-smith_n_5523214.html?utm_hp_ref=dumb-criminals Fan Of 'Alaska State Troopers' TV Show Turns Himself In On Warrants http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/24/tavish-smith_n_5523214.html?utm_hp_ref=dumb-criminals Michael Wade Propst, 12, Faces Felony For School Bus Joyride http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/06/26/michael-wade-propst_n_5534119.html?utm_hp_ref=dumb-criminals - Current Obsessions Chris:  Ashley's addiction to sunflower seeds, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Shopkick, Diablo III Philip:  Still more Netflix, going Call of Duty on Groundhogs - Hashtag of the Week #reallifevideogaming Last

This week, we try to figure out why a first grader knows how to lie about heroin, why Spider-Man should never drink, and which painting a robber jumped out of.  Not only that, but we try out a new game, Philip sees how good he is at naming comic book mothers, and the Douchebag Editor returns to shine some truth.

This week we wonder in what world do students get suspended when teachers show porn, find out how well Philip can pick out comic books from Free Comic Book Day, and put my Magic the Gathering knowledge to the test!  In addition, we have another classic Letter from A Douchebag Editor; which quickly goes off the rails when Philip tries to figure out a character being referred to.  All of this and much much more!If you'd like to comment or contribute to the show, send us an email at [email protected].  You can also talk to us online, I'm @ChrisTheProf on twitter and Philip is @Philip_OCD.  You can also follow us on facebook at facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorder.  The background music in this episode was composed by Andrew Allen and can be found on his CD's "Free Play" and "Smooth Federation" - thanks for letting us play them on the show!  Check out ocdcast.com for other great stuff, including my tabletop gaming podcast "Boards & Swords".

In this episode: Aunt May tries to show up Peter Parker, Robin tries to barter for his own batsignal, and a Ninja Turtles fan finds out his comics can get even grosser than he thought.  Also, Philip and I talk about our recent adventure to Pax East, and can he tell the difference between a Greek God and a Magic: The Gathering card?If you'd like to comment or contribute to the show, send us an email at [email protected].  You can also talk to us online, I'm @ChrisTheProf on twitter and Philip is @Philip_OCD.  You can also follow us on facebook at facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorder.  The background music in this episode was composed by Andrew Allen and can be found on his CD's "Free Play" and "Smooth Federation" - thanks for letting us play them on the show!  Check out ocdcast.com for other great stuff, including my tabletop gaming podcast "Boards & Swords".

This week, Philip and I get a little loopy and try out some more new stuff.  We've revised "This Week in Gotham" to be a bit more fun for both of us (and fail badly attempting to do so), talk about how excited we are for Pax East, and demonstrate a new game called "Letters from a Douchebag Editor".This Week In Gotham"Dog Dials 911 On Owner's Smartphone"http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5041266/"Man Expecting Quintuplets Gets HUGE Shock"http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5028094/"Man Named Christopher Reeves Busted For Meth In Superman Shirt"http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/5034202/Current ObsessionsChris:  Diablo 3, The Tonight Show, Boss MonsterPhilip:  Pax East, X-wingFAIL! of the Weekhttp://www.epicfail.com/2014/03/20/karate-kick-fail/ClosingIf you'd like to comment or contribute to the show, send us an email at [email protected].  You can also talk to us online, I'm @ChrisTheProf on twitter and Philip is @Philip_OCD.  You can also follow us on facebook at facebook.com/obsessi

This week, Philip and I try out a new bit at the beginning of the show, talk about the new phone and tablet that Verizon gave Philip (he just had to sign his life away for it), and make fun of Fox for trying to create a family friendly version of The Walking Dead.This Week In GothamLab Accident Releases Giant Cat!A LexCorp subsidiary in Tokyo, Japan was experimenting with new types of Kryptonite and its effects on animal life, but the  company bit off more than it can chew when one of its test kittens grew to 30 stories tall!  The cat initally ran amok, causing serious damage to skyscrapers as it scratched I ts claws on them.  Since then, the Tokyo police have been able to keep the animal contained by shining the Japanese Bat-signal on the ground to distract it.UPDATE:  LexCorp is touting that the incident was not an accident and was planned in part with YouTube to promote Lex Luthor's new web series.  A spokesman for LexCorp stated:

Not our best effort this week, as my internet couldn't decide if it wanted to work or not, which meant that we were recording without show notes, without a live chatroom (really trying for one next week), and even without a way to check to see that we weren't making stuff up.  Enjoy!Come watch us (attempt to) record live!  Sundays at 7pm EDT at http://ocdcast.com/live !

) This week, I tried to do a couple of different things in an effort to improve the show. Some of them didn't pan out the way that I had hoped so standby as I'll be working on them for the future. What we do have on this episode is a special guest! Mark from the RambleOn podcast joins us to talk Diablo, board games, and who would win in a fight: Batman vs the entire Green Lantern Corps!
