@Ron: It sounds like what you're describing at about the 19:30 mark is Wha... Huh?

I wish I could have been there. I look forward to seeing the Q&A next week. Any chance we might get some extended footage from the afterparty?

I would have loved it the manga Conor picked up was a hentai, and would be so shocked after opening it that he would fall out of his seat.

I miss the fight of spreading the titles out? Truly a sad day for me :(
Great to see this in video form.

It is a good thing Josh was sitting between Ron and Conor or the book spreading feistiness might have erupted into a full fledged slap fight.
Thanks again for mentioning my review.
I look forward to seeing the audience participation portion. It is always nice to put a face to a name. I still remember seeing Paul [at least I think it's him] and realizing he looks like a 12 year old back on the 100th episode show:

Bart Simpson looks like he's planning to pickpocket Josh.
I'm sorry, I don't mean to nitpick, but "irregardless" isn't a real word. It means the same thing as "regardless", Ron. Forgive my grammar nazi-isms.
I used to say that about irregardless, because I hate it, but it is a word, and it's in the dictionary, much to my chagrin.

Flammable and inflammable mean the same thing? What a country!

@josh
My friend got mad at me one day when I used the word "snuck", I said, "It's in the dictionary; I saw Conan O'Brien use it to defend his use of it against Jennifer Garner!" He conceded to this, but pointed out that, unlike English in the UK or languages of many other countries, American English doesn't have a committee or organization that determines what constitutes as a new word. Here, we have no one arbiter of language, so the people at Webster's could go crazy, adding words from Urban Dictionary and it would technically be 'in the dictionary'. The other day I misspelled a word in a text box, it didn't recognize it and it suggested "guestimate", meaning that accoding to whatever dictionary Firefox is utilizing, is a word.
It's like Conor's stance on continuity: I ignore some of the more ridiculous alterations to the language canon I've followed thus far.
The only thing that Conor's missing is a white hat with a black feather.

@stulach - Re: episode 100
If you mean the guy in the yellow oxford shirt, yep, that's me.

I had a big prank planned for this night. Where I would find Paul and introduce myself, but not say who I was on the site. Hopefully we chat it up and become quick friends for the event. Then just go up there for the question/prize and state who I am on here. Expecting Paul to be horrifying on who he was laughing it up too/sitting next to for an hour.
At least I thought that would be funny...
Posted by TheNextChampion on 09/10/09 at 12:54 AM
@Paul - I thought so. How old were you when that episode taped? I'm going to guess 20ish. Good looking guy.
@TNC - I'm fairly certain Paul would have figured out who you were when you inevitably found a way to verbally misspell the word "you're" during the conversation ;)

Young whippersnapper.

Paul and I are both going through our quarter-life crises together. ;)
And it took me a while to realize you guys were wearing mics on your shirts. For several minutes I was wondering how the hell I could hear all three of you so clearly! Bring on the Q & A!!

Hey. this video sounds almost exactly like the audio podcast on Sunday!

@cromulent - Must be something wrong with you audio equipment. You probably need a new computer and some $1,000 Sennheiser headphones.
Posted by stuclach on 09/10/09 at 03:23 PM
@stuclach: I'm not that bad in perso.....Oh I couldnt finish that sentence -_-;
Posted by TheNextChampion on 09/10/09 at 04:31 PM
@TNC - I know you aren't that bad (there are much worse on this site). I was just messing with you.
Posted by stuclach on 09/10/09 at 10:18 PM
@stuclach: I know you were.
I still would like to do that prank when/if I can meet the ifanboys in the future. If I scare the crap out of Paul like Darrell did with Josh....then it'll make my night.
Posted by TheNextChampion on 09/10/09 at 10:27 PM
oh no. i fear what will happen on the next episode. my face will be put on a name. i should have wore a mask.
