Continuing with more interviews from Emerald City Comic Con, Draeno was able to get some time with the creator of one of his favorite comics, Starslip. That’s right, none other than the multi talented Kris Straub made himself available on the third day of the con to talk about his projects. Most importantly, we get to a question close to Draeno’s heart- the end of Starslip.
When Draeno was scouting the floor during Friday night at Emerald City Comic Con, he stumbled across something interesting. Over in the tabletop area there happened to be a booth that was specializing in printing 3D models. Finding the process fascination, the gentleman running it agreed to do an interview about the process and what he is setting out to do. This was even as he was getting ready to go home for the night. Instead of just using the printer for fun, Terry decided to create a business out of it- Greenwood Microfactory.

Draeno and Emdee return for another fun filled hour of… oh, who am I kidding. It’s more of the same. Two opinionated guys try to sort out the volume of tech and gaming news that rattled all of our cages this week. On the burner this week: the EA iOS Rockband snafu, Apple not actually illegally dodging taxes, David Sirlin’s Puzzle Fighter kickstarter, Steve Jackson and Hacker, the FBI claiming they need backdoors to VOIP and other internet protocols, Anonymous protests in the real world, why Fight Club doesn’t really work, the iPad 2 now with low power chip, Windows 8 isn’t shipping with DVD playback and why they think it is, PAX rapid ticket sales, and the iPhone and home repairs.
Recently, one of my favorite comics has decided to take a different path in the type of content it releases. Since Brad Guigar’s return from Emerald City Comic Con, he has announced an experiment in which all of April’s strips for Evil Inc. can be purchased before the strips run their course. While Guigar is known to work far ahead in his work, partially due to newspaper time frames, this foray into a new aspect of the online comic model pushes him to work even further in the future. Mr. Guigar was kind enough to take some time out of his busy schedule to sit down with me to answer a few questions.
Look at that, a more timely release! Draeno and Emdee chat about CISPA, Ikea digital cameras, a couple of upcoming guest reviews, what small country Apple should buy, Axecop on the way to FOX, Fringe’s renewal, Star Trek reboot sequels, Rock Band 3′s future, and more!
Hey, remember these guys? If you don’t remember the team, they’re the head nerds at the 20 Sides of Nerd podcast. Contrary to public opinion, Emdee and Draeno aren’t not dead, nor retired. They are just busy in real life! Join them for the regular insanity. They discussed Halo 4′s launch date, a discussion about what they know about it (which isn’t much), small nuclear reactors and why they are heartily approved, Falling Skies upcoming comics, Fringe (before we knew it was renewed), mandatory car black box incident reporting, and 80′s musician-hosted reality programming.
