Have you played around with the Spore Creature Creator?
If so, give us your impressions!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
So while watching the creation of The Host's Lament comic, and giggling like a five year old that "he's drawing Denise's boobies", a few related questions came to me.
Do any of the crew give you feedback on the appearance of their respective characters? And do you listen to it?
How difficult is it to draw a cartoon of yourself?

Did you guys read io9's summary of the unfilmed Darabont script for Indiana Jones 4? http://io9.com/5016367/unfilmed-indy-4-script-has...
Soo much better–no Shia "LaBoeuf" TheBeef's character in there at all. God, can we go back in time and force Lucas to film this instead? Wait, there is no fate…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I read the entire script already. The whole thing is, on average, much better, but it was still based on an earlier version of the same story still written by george lucas, and so there are still several fucking dumb things in it. And to be fair, Shia was one of the least offensive things in the movie.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
The only offensive thing I found regarding Shia LaBoeuf was the brigade of semi-intelligent, "Russians-are-enemy" conscious, tree swinging monkeys… that befriend Shia and swing to the protagonist's rescue like vine mounted calvary. (I still try to imagine how George came up with that scene…)

Are any of you following season 3 of venture brothers?
If so, please elaborate your feelings of what you've seen so far, and what do you want to see from the coming episodes?
Limbo of the Lost?
Would you consider something like monthly animations for the comic? (just an idea)
And this may be a question previously answered… but how did you all meet?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Did that kid from the previous podcast get his t-shirt back yet? If not, why don't you just send him a t-shirt with his parent's note printed on it? Post Modern!
Did anyone watch The Middleman? What do you guys think of summer TV in general? (eg Burn Notice, In Plain Sight etc)
Also, is it possible to get a picture of Josh's hand next to a normal hand? Or possibly a baby's hand?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
The whole driving sequence reminded me of a landspeeder chase at first.
Then it didn't anymore, cause it sucked, and landspeeders are awesome.

Since Zombie questions seem to be all the rage:
If you could have Zombies attack any show (well, except Buffy or Angel where they would, you know, make sense), which show would you direct your horde of Zombies to attack? My vote…American Idol. Oh wait, they're already there!
Bonus question…pack of wolves, pod of whales, murder of crows… X? of zombies? What do you call a group of Zombies? My vote…a Michael Jackson of zombies, for Thriller and for what he's done to himself.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I wonder if Denise has a zombie plan…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
The classic question has always been, "Would you join Starfleet?" the real question: there is a Borg cube barreling towards Earth, Nemesis style. If you beam aboard it, there is a fifty percent chance it will be destroyed and a fifty percent chance you will be rescued. Do you do it for the possibility of joining one of the greatest civilizations of all time?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Hell yes. I'm boarding it.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
These questions are for the podcast…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
After the mid-season finale, do you still believe Galatcia is going to end the same way you have predicted or do you have a different theory on how things are going to turn out?

Do Eli, Joel and Josh (in the comic) live together? Or does their mail just go to Joel's house?
(In reference to Stimulus check comic, where it seems Joel has received everyones checks at once in the mail and is handing them out)
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Since Josh won't be there. And he doesn't listen to the podcast anyway.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Caveat: Do we ever have to wear a red shirt? Cause the amount of deaths on the Enterprise, for an exploratory ship, is astounding.
edit: I only read your classic question. You mean, we get to board a Borg Cube, and there is a 50/50 chance of being assimilated and destroyed, or being assimilated and then 7 of 9'd? I'd rather not risk it.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
(all questions purely meant jokingly)
To the not-Joels:
How do you feel about your protrayals in the comic, especially the recent ones with the lying on children and puking on the carpet? Accurate, too cruel, or not nearly drunk and crazy enough?
To Joel:
Have you noticed the other HE cast members treating you different in real life, prehaps with apprehension or fear, after you began constantly killing them in bizarre and brutal ways in the comics? Or do you guys just talk about the ways you'd like to blow each other up and murder your friends with wiimotes over lunch?
PS: "Cat on my face" shirt… please? I'd like a HE T-Shirt, but I don't want BSG and am afraid that a man with amazing jazz hands straddling a rocket pod would give my friends and parents the wrong idea.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
I LOVE this question.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Joel, you've mentioned having an oppressive childhood (oppressive parents? I won't get into that unless you want to. That's your business). We've heard some of the things you were NOT allowed to do as a dependent.
-When did you break out from other peoples' "control"? And when you did, what were some things you did as your first taste of freedom? Cause you mentioned the long hair, and I assumed that would be seen as "the devil's haircut", and yet you also mentioned not being able to dress/look the way you wanted to as a dependent.
Wait, beard….long hair…I think I get why your parents were okay with that.
-Still, what do they think of your job/seeming Atheism?
-When did you lose "the faith"?
-Do they read the comic/listen to the podcast?
Sorry if these questions seem too pervasive. I only mean to show interest!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
They're moving in hordes… they DO move in hordes!
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Sorry my question was so sucky a while back. It did lead to Golum Josh >.>
Pick people you hate (like Bill O'Reilly) and replace them with people you'd like to fill their roles after you assassinate them (like Colbert… or Treebeard… or Emperor Palpatine). Who would be the replacement Kathy Griffin, etc?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Why does the 'Top 10 Commenters' section on the left shit itself so frequently?
Have josh talk about the VB shirts, goddammit I want them, where are they available from, are they US only?
List your favourite character (1) from…
(a)Movies
(b)Games
(c)TV
(d)Literature
ALSO, someone in the last podcast (I can't remember who) mentioned their disdain for Kevin Smith while talking about 'Reaper'. So any of you share this mutual hatred of him? If so, why? I love the guy so I don't know where that's coming from…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Wait, how does it shit? Seriously. Is it broken?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Well I assume it's ranked on 'p', whatever that is? If not tell me to shut-up but #9 is currently on 0'p' and it's had many a time when there's been people with less 'p' (getting tiresome…) above others with more, mainly occurring within the bottom 5…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
It appears Dram has 0p, yet is beating someone with 38p. I think that's what Rerun means.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
When I first started reading HijiNKS Ensue, I noticed that there was man/bear sex mentioned a few times in the first few comics. After that it never shows up in anymore comics. My question is, when will we see more man/bear sex?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
no, there's a 50 percent chance you will be destroyed long with the cube, and a 50 percent chance the federation will rescue you.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
That would be so hilarious… all I can think of are the classic roommate scenarios involving the droppage of deuces.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Gotta agree. If I need to I will eventually buy a GYFB shirt, but things without swears and Josh on them are a lot easier to wear in my small hometown full of relatives…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Did all of you guys download Firefox 3 on Tuesday? If so what apps have you already installed?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
oh god I would love a video of Joel's mom watching the podcast for the first time…
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Yeah I have no idea why it does that. I think "P" are the result of these little thumbs up buttons, but I've noticed Joel has been at 88 pretty much the whole time ID has been installed, and that just can't be right. Theory: ID no longer uses whatever "P" are.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Your public has needs.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
"Top Users" is a misnomer – it's really a "Most Active Users" widget, which displays, in order, the people with the most commenting activity on a given blog.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Seeing as you liked my Firefly Ink a bunch… do any of you have geek ink? is so, what, and where? (if this is streaming, it's show&tell time) Also on another topic. i just got an Xbox360 (gasp!) what gearbox games should i invest in?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
All of them, obviously.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Cloverfield versus Cthulhu: Who wins, and who returns- shamefully and tentacle-less- to the ocean? Also, in the event of a victory for Cthulhu, will Cloverfield's dad cut Cloverfield off from the trust fund?
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
so why would I want to board that thing? It'd be so dangerous.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
Because there's a fifty percent chance of joining the federation.
February 5th, 2009 at 11:36 am
What make does Cloverfield's dad sell at his dealership? (My love for Eli faltered when he refused to do Cloverfield last week! Spunk-drunk damn it!)
