I haven’t beaten all of the Zelda games, but I’ve played most of them. What gamer our age doesn’t remember that original over world music playing as you walk into the cave. Those fateful words from the old man as he hands you that first sword Link wields. Those words change me in ways I […]
As I type this, I’m wearing the free Black Lantern ring given to me by my LCS, Heroes and Villains, in Hampton, VA (check back here later this week, and listen to next week’s podcast for some awesome news about them!). It’s cool to have a free goodie – it’s pretty rare nowadays that we […]
There are many highs and lows to being a podcaster. This week is a low with drama a foot on a podcast that is hosted by people I consider good friends. I considered not writing an article for awhile, I just didn’t feel up for it. Then I came to realize that things need to […]
If you listened to this morning’s Podge Cast, you heard the tension and awkwardness. Even more disturbing were Joe’s comments in The Hodge: With our next episode, we hit number 50, an abstract yet somehow important milestone in podcasting. In an effort to keep things fresh, we’re going to mix things up here at the […]
There was a time when my friend/co-host Mike and I stayed in the basement of Podge Cast Matt’s house. This was before the Bear Swarm! and before the Podge Cast. Back in these halcyon days Luke was still with Fear the Boot and we were attending Fear the Con, before it had to be enumerated. […]
On July 15th, DC Comics’ Blackest Night #1 will be hitting comic shops, heralding in what may be the biggest comic event of the year, and the most shocking. We here at IoM have been presenting a history of each of the corps involved in the upcoming battle, as well as some background on the […]
I had an interesting conversation with Podge Cast co-host and Spooky Outhouse co-founder, A. David Pinilla last night. David (aka Adam) and I chat frequently over Twitter and Skype. Spooky Outhouse hosts Ideology of Madness and Adam is both friend and technical support. Our conversation last night was a bit odd. Adam and I caught […]
I’ve written before that I listen to a lot of podcasts. I currently hold subscriptions to 25 shows that I listen to on a regular basis predominantly on the subject of role playing games, comic books, and other geekery. On average, I listen to somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 hours of podcasts each week. […]
I really dislike internet sites that require registration before you can view their content. I’m not talking about fee paying sites. I’m talking about discussion boards. Forums, y’know? I don’t want to have to give a board that I may never again visit my personal information. I don’t want to set a unique password for […]
It’s been a rough week on pop-culture icons. Ed McMahon died Tuesday followed by Farrah Fawcett yesterday morning and Michael Jackson the same afternoon. Each of these figures had a tremendous impact on our modern culture.
