With the Holiday XTRAvaganza, recorded live on December 24th, 2007.

This week we took a bit of a back seat to the normal show format. In an effort to give everyone a break during the holiday season Alan whipped up a holiday-themed music show with actual content... don't fret! Alan is not solo on this one. Just a few surprises and extra packed entertainment for all of your holiday freetime. So find a confortable chair, some hot coco, some good manga/book and share the next couple hours with us! Happy Holidays on OG!

OG Manga / Comic Contest email your entry
We finally figured out what you the audience likes for contests... so Dan came up with a manga/comic contest... for which the winners will get a book of the contest... confused?

Here's the deal... every few weeks... Dan will come up with a new manga/comic frame... with an empty comic bubble and it's your job to fill it in and modify for everyones entertainment.

The lowdown... Dan says NO MEMEs! If you use one... it better be HAWT SHIZNIT... otherwise, get creative.

Anyhow this week... no entries. I guess it's time for Dan to draw a new frame? Whatcha think? I agree!

But to get started download the 1st frame here... but listen to the show to find out why want to download this file!

Dan eventually remembered to the 2nd contest-frame (thanks to Jefferson)... so download it now!HERE!

With Fansubbing, recorded live on December 17th, 2007.

This week we discussed fansubbing, talked about the how to get started, what you would need, and even little history on the subject. While we were recording we had a unexpected visitor. Bryce (or "Pryce"... listen to the show to get the reference) showed up when we all thought he was still at school. Don't fret, we still had other things to talk about, segments, feedback and more. So, join us this week for more of our nerdy discussions... laugh at us and/or with us. Either way you should be "danloading"... right now... if you don't we'll make Jefferson leave you many voicemails! Uh-huh that's what I thought. ;)

With 2.5 Years or podcasting, recorded live on December 3rd, 2007.

This weeks the show was very brief! Doing holiday shows on your 2.5 year podcasting anniversary suck. So we did less of a show. Just blame it on Alan for being lazy and unprepared this week... he mumbled something about being busy at all these meetings this past weekend.... but honestly we just think he's lazy. He however did give out a few gifts... so he's not a complete useless bastard this week. Don't fret we didn't dissappoint we still have segments and Santa! Join us this week for one of the shortest shows we've ever released.
