Followers Wanted

I am slowly going about making new requests for readers and followers, especially since I am presently renewing my efforts to find a new home for my reviewing. I figure I would find a new reviewing home for gaming reviews, while I stick with RKYV Online Magazine for comic related content. In any case I always could use New readers, and new followers, the more the merrier.

So please read, please recommend and please follow. Thank you.

I Am The Idiot (a Doctor Who commentary)

What was I thinking. I could have dug into it last year, when I got a new Wii complete with ability to watch YouTube. I could have been absorbing Doctor Who ever since then. But stupid me, I didn't even try to dig into Matt Smith's era as the Doctor until he announced that he is headed out the door at the end of 2013, leaving with one last Christmas Special before turning the TARDIS over to the 12th Doctor.

Stupid me. I had a few years I could have absorbed and assimilated Matt Smith's Doctor Who, but fool that I am I didn't do it until now, at the end of his run... and now honestly is the worst time to realize I will actually miss him as the Doctor. Too late for words, too late for sentiment or protest. Too late, far far too late.

But it wouldn't matter at any rate. It's not the death of Spock all over again, and even if it was no massive fandom campaign will change anything... at best maybe Matt Smith will be like David Tennant, and occasionally return to do Anniversary stuff, or audio dramas for Big Finish. Just as long as he is not a new Christopher E., Still going through his I Am Not Spock phase to the disgusting depth that he snubbed Doctor Who fans by refusing to participate in the 50th Anniversary Doctor Who Special in Late November. I understand his reluctance, but sometimes as a fan one has to just put one's hoof down, unleash FlutterRage, and declare enough is enough. And really, C.E., I had had more than enough of your abusive I Am Not Spock whining. You already horribly mangled one of GI Joe's best villains, Destro, but this is too much!

But C.E. is not my biggest regret, nope, that is reserved for my future failure to qualify for a Matt Smith interview before the end of 2013. I have at least a open the door level of experience, I have been reviewing and interviewing for 11 years, not counting my early years in fandom newsletter publishing. I do have some good interviews on my resume, and been reviewing in the US and the UK... yet somehow that never seems to be enough.

I shouldn't despair but... sigh... it's hard to feel upbeat if you feel you don't measure up. Good reason if any to roll up my sleeves and work harder. Then file my request in August and take my chances. Updates coming soon on my first summer interview requests coming shortly by the way.

Well I may be late to the party, but we have some months to grind a bit of Matt Smith Doctor Who, be it BBC or IDW comics so join me won't you? Content coming up soon!

Summer 2013 Day 23 : Podcasts I Listen To

Another week has come, and another week to wait for that darn laptop. Well while I wait let's check out what podcasts I am presently listening to.

Comics
Former listens - I used to listen to The New 52 Adventures of Superman, but that wrapped recently (one episode shy of its projected end).

Merc with a Podcast (Deadpool)
Formerly The Merc Report before it moved from Cultural Wormhole to Eaths Mightiest Podcast... I don't know why I listen to this since I don't read Deadpool but... Oh well.

Spider-Man Crawlspace
I only just started putting Spider-Man on my retro reviewing schedule, but I have been listening since the end of 2012 and the last Spider Jeopardy episode. Very nice fun and informative cast, even for a dabbler in things Spider-Man like me.

Superman Forever
I haven't been listening for awhile, so I need to get back on track. Presently the only Superman cast I follow.

Multimedia
Bronyville
I used to listen to both this and Pony 411 for all my My Little Pony content... Pony 411 hasn't been seen since April, making this last podcast standing.

Doctor Who Podcast
AKA "you are most welcome"... nice podcast, even if I usually accuse them of being a subsidiary of the BBC and Big Finish. My presently in development "Off Season with the Doctor" was inspired by the content not covered by The Doctor Who Podcast.

Geekshow
Ok, it's not exactly safe for work, but still my favorite source for multimedia pop culture news.

Indycast (Indiana Jones)
Sure, not much happening in the world of Indiana Jones, but still pretty fun and releases twice a month.

Forcecast (Star Wars)
Maybe it's the morbid in me, but I'm listening to hear their reactions to every bad decision made by Disney. Go figure.

Video Games
Idle Thumbs
Just got back into listening to this. As awesome as it was when I listened to the previous series before this one.

RPGamer Podcast
While I don't always agree with this cast, for instance their vehement Microsoft XBox One defense before the full details of Microsoft's stupidity came to light... Still my favorite. Anyway it's on a one month hiatus since two of its hosts got married to each other, but it should be back by Late June.

Next time, what podcasts I would like to see done.
