Posted by Euge in : Uncategorized , add a comment
What a crazy, busy week it’s been for…well, me. Probably others. So because we haven’t had time to schedule a guest AND I don’t have time to edit the episode, we’re going to be trying something interesting. Me, Sims, Rusty Shackles and Matt Wilson of The ISS are going to hop on board, hit record, and do it all the way live. No edits, no drop-ins, everything we say goes straight to the tape. We may take twitter questions in the middle, we may call random people, we may have surprises. And the winner of our hater contest will be joining us for a portion to tell us his hater story live on the show as well.
The party goes down at 9PM eastern tomorrow, eastern time (Wednesday the 10th), so EMAIL me questions at warrocketpodcast_at_gmail.com. Seriously, any question you can possibly think of, we’ll be glad to answer.

Episode 20: Bat Out of Hell f/ Thom Zahler! March 1, 2010
Posted by Euge in : Episodes , 7comments
Through snow, through sleet, through hail, love prevails. Appropriately, Thomas Zahler, creator of the superb superhero situation comedy comic book Love and Capes, is our guest, as we chat about love, relationships, and Superman. Also, 3rd Chair Smithy is back to spread sunshine in our lives. We talk about Kick-Ass, shameless self-promotion, power ballads, and sex in Mass Effect 2. It’s a jumble of goodness, as War Rocket Ajax returns.

- Sorry to our friends Evie and Aaron at Awesomed By Comics, who are also having some technical difficulties and won’t be posting up new eps for a bit. We recommended them in the episode, but please check out their archives, or their appearance on War Rocket Ajax (often referred to as both the best and/or most painful segment, as voted on by listeners, in our show’s history).

We are BACK. And we are going to move forward, through snow, through bad Comcast service, through everything and record our Valentine’s Day episode a few weeks late with Thomas Zahler, creator of the fantastic Love and Capes on Tuesday, February 23, around 9:30 PM EST. So please, tweet and email your questions for Thom by then!
Also, STOP sending me hater stories. The deadline has passed. We have a 10+ page word document to read through. I am sure it is going to make Chris and I weep for humanity.

When It Snows, It Pours February 10, 2010
Posted by Euge in : Uncategorized , 2comments
Hooray. It started snowing again in DC. It looks like another foot will be added on top of the 30 inches we got last weekend that was still sitting around. If you want a good gauge how bad this snowstorm is, the post office has not delivered mail two days in the past week. Before that, the last time the post office failed to deliver the mail was over thirty years ago.
For now, I’m going back into hibernation. But if you have a moment, why not check out this video by Atlanta hip hop group The Remnant for their song, “Know This.” Niles (the third guy in the video) is a long-time fan of The ISB and War Rocket Ajax, and put me on to their stuff. They make great music, so be sure you check out their album on iTunes:
Stay frosty.
No Business like Snow Business February 8, 2010

Hi guys. So, we have some news, and it’s not of the good kind. This week, we were supposed to record with Thom Zahler, creator of Love and Capes, to get our show back on schedule after I (Euge) moved to a new apartment. What happened after that, well, it’s kind of absurd.
First, Comcast had a faulty hookup in my apartment so the technician couldn’t set up my cable and internet. They were supposed to come back this weekend to fix it, only this weekend the Washington, DC area had a record amount of snowfall (about three feet), shutting down the city. A cable guy’s been rescheduled, but won’t be back until this Sunday, after which, I’m going to be out of town the following weekend (ironically, to go visit my parents after my original x-mas trip was canceled because of ANOTHER historic snowstorm..seriously, global warming my ass).
So the long and short of it is this: I don’t know when we’re going to get our episodes back on track. I’m sorry about all of this, and it sucks b/c this happened just as we had a good amount of momentum in the new year. But alas, you can blame Comcast and God (in that order) for messing with our steez.
So for now, check out Chris’s stuff on The ISB, as he’s now writing full-time! And I’m going to go back to slow delirium. Did I mention my Xbox red-ringed during this weekend, too? Seriously, what did I do to piss the gods off so much?
