Comments

  1. I haven’t listened to the show yet, but I was going to comment that the weekly podcast’s show notes and comments need to be more prominent on the front page, and then I noticed the link was hidden under an errant Adblock button!  Off I go to listen to some iFanboy goodness!

  2. @HBD turn off ad block 😉

  3. I’m trying to disable it for iFanboy, but I need it running for some sites.  Digg for example, has some of the most annoying ads ever.

  4. There we go.  Hey look, I can buy Smax for only $6.38! 😀

  5. we appreciate your support HBD!

  6. I’m confused…is Netflix still a sponsor? Is Josh leaving? I need answers or if not that then a damn bow!

  7. Yes and yes.  No, wait… I mean, yes and no.

    I’m confused. 

  8. You’re confused if Josh is leaving???

     Don’t leave, Josh, I’ve nearly finished Preacher!!!!!!

  9. Where the hell am I gonna go?

  10. To the top!

  11. great episode.

     

    two new rules to ifanboy drinking came:

    whenever strippers are mentioned, take a shot.

    whenever josh hates something/someone, take a shot. 

  12. Jester: That’s going to get me more drunk than the Iron Chef drinking game!

  13. In the tradition of Judy from Family Matters…Josh will walk upstairs and never be seen again.

  14. @Josh, RE: Godland

    I picked up issues 1-20, loved them all, and will be getting #21 this week!

  15. IMHO, I thought X-Force was a pretty good start (art and story).  Just my thoughts.

  16. Great show this week. I really dig the new Trade of the Month addition. I’m way more into reading trades than single ishs. I like the video show because of it’s focus on trades. It’s just not as easy for me to pick up single ishies and it can be kind of expensive. Where as trades I can resell when I’m done. I’m not much of a collector. I just like reading the stories and looking at the art.

    How’s about talking about a trade every episode? Love the shiz-ow.
