Obsessive Comics Disorder | A Geek Comedy Podcast

photo (3) Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that I'm going to be burying my head in a bunch of work for the rest of the month and unable to publish any blog posts/videos/or podcasts.  But, before I did, I wanted to put out something for you guys to check out while I'm busy.  Recently, I've become a much bigger fan of TableTop gaming, specifically board games and card games.  Ever since, I've had this big desire to put out a podcast where I can talk about these things, but I wasn't able to figure out how I wanted to do it.Until Now.What you've got before you now, is a *very* rough idea of what I want to do for this podcast.  I don't have any titles or album art yet, so this is just a barebones pilot episode for me to get some feedba

All sorts of fun talk in this episode - we give our thoughts on Magic 2014, along with some other Magic talk, I tried getting Chloe into Yu-Gi-Oh, and Yo-yos??  You'll just have to listen to see what we're talking [email protected] http://ocdcast.comhttp://twitter.com/ChrisTheProfhttp://twitter.com/Philip_RDhttp://facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorder Intro/Outro Music - "L3" by Skyhawk on his album "Function"Topics DiscussedStarcraft 2 Magic 2014 / Types of Magic Tournaments / Magic Online Board Games / YuGiOh???

It's a bit of a long show this week, but Philip and I have been chomping at the bit to try out Android: Netrunner.  It's a two player cyber-punk card game developed by the same person who created Magic: The Gathering.  So sit back and enjoy us fumbling over ourselves and trying to figure out this game.

That's right - we thought the show we getting kind of stale just talking about games, so we took our current format and threw it out the window!  If you've been listening since the beginning I intended Relative Dimensions to be a general "Geek Talk Radio" type show, and that's the style that we are going back to.  We are currently coming up with new ideas for the show, so if you've got an idea then send it to [email protected] http://ocdcast.comhttp://twitter.com/ChrisTheProfhttp://twitter.com/Philip_RDhttp://facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorder Intro/Outro Music - "L3" by Skyhawk on his album "Function"Topics CoveredPhilip isn't playing STO?!? / Sins of a Solar Empire Cherry Chocolate Rain?

Lots of news this week, unlike our last show, as the gaming industry is storming into E3.  We talk about the WoW film, Diablo 3 on consoles, and BlizzSteam....I mean the Battle.net game [email protected] http://ocdcast.comhttp://twitter.com/ChrisTheProfhttp://twitter.com/Philip_RDhttp://facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorder Intro/Outro Music - "L3" by Skyhawk on his album "Function"News StoriesWorld of Warcraft's Stormwind Keep gets a price tag http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/06/05/world-of-warcrafts-stormwind-keep-gets-a-price-tag/New Battle.net desktop client datamined http://wow.joystiq.com/2013/06/04/new-battle-net-desktop-client-datamined/World of Warcraft film set to shoot in 2014 http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/06/03/world-of-warcraft-film-set-to-shoot-in-2014/Flexible Raids come to World of Warcraft with patch 5.4 http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/06/07/flexible-raids-come-to-world-of-warcraft-with-patch-5-4/Diablo 3 coming to Xbox 360 as well, dated worldwide Sept. 3 [update] http:/

That's right, we are on a roll towards having a regular show each week.  Don't be too impressed though, as its a short show - not that much news worth talking about this week, plus Chris' computer did not want to capture any video so the second half of the show that was supposed to be dedicated to showing off Star Trek Online was thrown out.  We'll get the kinks worked out [email protected] http://ocdcast.comhttp://twitter.com/ChrisTheProfhttp://twitter.com/Philip_RDhttp://facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorder Intro/Outro Music - "L3" by Skyhawk on his album "Function"News StoriesRumor: Blizzard's Titan has fallen, won't be getting up until 2016 [Updated] http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/05/28/rumor-blizzards-titan-has-fallen-wont-be-getting-up-until-20/

Like trying to restart any good habit, Philip and I were struggling to start podcasting again - but we recorded one this week! Being Memorial Day, we remember our troops, and then move right in to talk about the awesome things that we've done over the past month or so. I've tried a couple of new MMO's, restarted playing others, while Philip's been enjoying him some Romulans in Star Trek Online.

We're back!  It has officially been a month, but we finally are back to recording podcasts - and just in time too; as not one but TWO of our favorite games have had BIG announcements in the past week.  We also kick off a brand new segment and talk about what we've been up to in the [email protected]://ocdcast.comhttp://twitter.com/ChrisTheProfhttp://twitter.com/Philip_RDhttp://facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorderIntro/Outro Music - "L3" by Skyhawk on his album "Function"Phat LootsArm your computer with Mega Buster USB drive http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/01/arm-your-computer-with-mega-buster-usb-drive/News StoriesMagic 2014: Duels of the Planeswalkers summoned this summer http://www.joystiq.com/2013/03/21/magic-2014-duels-of-the-planeswalkers-gets-summoned-on-most-pla/Navy Field 2 entering closed beta on March 27th http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/02/27/navy-field-2-entering-closed-beta-on-march-27th/ Bungie considered fantasy, modern settings for Destiny http://massively.joystiq.com/

Originally recorded on January 27th, 2013That's right, there are far too many games out there, and not enough time to play!  We sit down and discuss what's been going on the past few weeks and then go into a couple of news stories that have been brewing for the past few [email protected]://ocdcast.comhttp://twitter.com/ChrisTheProfhttp://twitter.com/Philip_RDhttp://facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorderIntro/Outro Music - "L3" by Skyhawk on his album "Function"News StoriesDefiance show set for a two-hour premiere in Aprilhttp://massively.joystiq.com/2013/01/07/defiance-show-set-for-a-two-hour-premiere-in-april/The Defiance MMO gets a trailer, too http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/01/09/the-defiance-mmo-gets-a-trailer-too/First Defiance beta event coming January 18 for PC playershttp://massively.joystiq.com/2013/01/03/first-defiance-beta-event-coming-january-18-for-pc-players/Trion compiles pre-order FAQ for Defiancehttp://massively.joystiq.com/2013/01/24/trion-compiles-preorder-faq-for-defiance/S

Originally recorded on January 21st, 2013.It's the new year everyone, and we've FINALLY brought you a new episode of Relative Dimensions. Between awful audio problems and Philip dying of the plague, I thought we'd never get a podcast episode out. To ease ourselves back into a regular schedule, we do some Halo 4 multiplayer (captured from my Xbox thanks to my new Elgato Game Capture HD). We've got some great plans for 2013 and ways of improving the show, so if you've got a suggestion, PLEASE let us know!http://ocdcast.com [email protected] facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorder twitter.com/ChrisTheProf twitter.com/Philip_RD

Yeah that's right, Philip didn't know how you get to the Top Secret Area, so Chris has to correct this error.  Not just that, but Philip went crazy on the Steam sale, Chris fell in love with his 3DS again, and we've got LOTS of news!What we've been playingChris - Halo 4, Dust 514, 3DS GamesPhilip - Steam Sale!  KOTORNews Storieshttp://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/29/0x10c-may-charge-monthly-subscription-for-ship-ownership/http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/11/26/swtor-preferred-status-players-awarded-with-additional-quickbars/http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/11/27/swtor-explains-the-rules-of-the-ancient-hypergate-warzone/http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/11/29/star-trek-onlines-foundry-gets-a-whole-lot-more-awesome/http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/11/27/star-trek-online-explains-the-nuances-of-dilithium/http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/11/27/mechwarrior-online-gives-players-control-over-their-looks/http://www.joystiq.com/2012/12/01/ouya-dev-consoles-start-shipping-december-28/http://massively.joystiq.c

Not a whole lot of news this week, so we decided that a playthrough was in order!  Now that Philip is level 90 in WoW, we can run some scenarios (instanced group questing) and so after a little bit of chatting we jump into a couple of scenarios.  Watch/listen as I die (many many times), Philip tries to figure out what it going on, and more in this episode. http://ocdcast.com [email protected] twitter.com/ChrisTheProf twitter.com/Philip_RD facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorder Intro/Outro Music - "L3" by Skyhawk from his album "Function"

I didn't want to go another 3 weeks without an episode, so Philip and I decided to have a very special episode of Relative Dimensions this week - as you see our first reactions to Halo 4! Apologies up front for the quality of the video, I'll try my best to improve these console playbacks over time. http://ocdcast.com [email protected] twitter.com/ChrisTheProf twitter.com/Philip_RD facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorder

This week we announce a few changes to the show, which are that: A) We are no longer recording the show live.  It is too much of a strain on my internet and I'm not happy with the quality that results from it. B) Instead of recording a show and an aftershow each week, we will just record the main show each week and then once or twice a month have a show where we can play some games/check out something new. With that, listen to us ramble about the new World of Warcraft expansion, and watch me suck really bad at the new Battle Pets system. http://ocdcast.com [email protected] twitter.com/ChrisTheProf twitter.com/Philip_RD facebook.com/obsessivecomicsdisorder Intro/Outro Music: "L3" by Skyhawk on his album "Function"  

Hey, we're back again!  This time, with far less bugs and issues, and there is even video!  Philip and I talk about our anticipation for the new WoW expansion, why I didn't play WoW this past weekend, and we are reminded of those other MMO's that we have not played in awhile (but we want to!).
