Y The Last Man Vol. 5In this final Deluxe Edition hardcover collecting Y #49-60, Yorick and Agent 355 prepare for their ultimate quest to reunite the last man with his lost love, while the person, people or thing behind the disaster that wiped out half of humanity is revealed. Then, Yorick Brown's long journey through an Earth populated only by women comes to its dramatic, unexpected conclusion.
Ok did anyone else catch that? Randy plays a “recurring” guest role on Geek By Night. Does this mean Lewis will pop up again in season 2?
*cue me squealing with delight
I can’t wait for September and the 5 days of podcasts. You guys are such troopers cuz that is an epic amount of content to put out. Kudos!
So basically I’m more than a little excited for Geek By Night to come back and have been relistening to season 1 and thinking about all the possibilities of what will happen in the new season. :-)
Have just bought vols 1-3 of scott pilgrim and its lots of fun so far. Ok, back to listening to the episode now
I would totally be an extra for GBN…..but I don’t have a microphone at the moment. My USB headset mysteriously won’t work any more. :(
The only thing about the Star Wars BluRays that sucks is that they still refuse to put the original versions on there. They claim it’s because they’d have to clean up a ton of footage, but I call BS on that one. A huge portion of the movies are exactly the same, and restoring the original versions wouldn’t be that hard. When you’ve got stuff like the Alien movies that have both versions on the same DVD (and upcoming BluRay) and Blade Runner that have multiple versions of the film, it’s very disappointing that we can’t see the original Star Wars trilogy in its original form. Maybe they will change their minds by the time the BluRays come out next year, but I doubt it.
I was wondering if they’d have the original versions. That sucks.
So will Han shoot first on the blurays?
So weird they chose Glee to air after the Superbowl. maybe it will work but I can’t imagine a bunch of drunk guys wanting to watch a musical show :) (save for me, hehe)
Call me confused on the Terminator animated thing, weird.
I still need to play the first Bioshock (I own it). I know, I know. :)
