One thing while I’m listening, before I forget: I know Adobe’s been buying-up apps left and right, but Autodesk is actually the new owner of Combustion, not Adobe. You had me excited there for a second. Haven’t actually gotten to that part of the broadcast, but noticed the link above says “Adobe.”
Better fix it or Ricky will have a diminuitive Korean woman puke on your head…..twice.

Cool, thanks for the heads up. I’d swear it was credited in Burning Sands as Adobe, but I may have misread. In any case, this explains why my googling for “Adobe Combustion” led me to Autodesk’s website. lol

After a long hot day, your overcast makes me laugh and smile. Great Bob Hess sketch.. I laughed like crazy. And the opening “Bloodspell” controversy was excellent. You just seem to get better and better with your shows, Overman.
I’m so glad you heeded Mu’s advice because I had the diminuitive K-gal all lined up. And you know how much I like to watch puke! Yowzaa!
Several machinima I hadn’t heard from listed. I’ll head over and check em out. Alex Chan told me he was working with a professional movie company for his next film. I think you are right about the actors being the same ones that appear in the film. If I hook up with him, I’ll ask. Haven’t seen his new film yet, but I’m on it.
Hard to believe that with all you have on your plate you can put together such and entertaining and informative show. Let me know what you are taking and I’ll get some.

Great stuff Overman, excellent breaking neews coverage at the start of the show.
Laffing all the way thru, your best show to date. I couldn’t believe, but it seemed to be over before it started, sign of a good time.

“Just some stalker who doesn’t really work here”
I just got me a new email sig!
I want that on a t-shirt. Right now. Are you reading this, Hugh? Get me a t-shirt!

T-Shirt: check.
I’m considering using
“BloodSpell is bigger than Jesus Christ.
Oh, bugger.”
In mine…

A good show as always!
One thing that people neglect to mention about RoosterTeeth and online content generation is that their website promotes the generation of user content; giving users lots of ways to express themselves online. Burnie Burns has said that the machinima his crew creates is secondary - which is quite true considering the amount of time many people spend on the site compared to the length of a weekly machinima episode.
I love robot music! I have to admit I have a strange and odd fascination with it - check out http://www.allrobotradio.com Bohemian Rhapsody, Rapper’s Delight and more performed by synthetic voices!

Awesome cast, Phil. I loved the Bob Hess bit. You know I met Brian at the very first Machinima fest - oddly, he did mention some of his brother’s peculiarities at the time. Glad to hear he’s out and about, so to speak.
and for the record, yes, commando is the only way to go. (c:
Keep ‘em coming!
