The Top 9 Questions That I Need Answers to ASAP... Seriously!

9. Can I read New Avengers again already!?! I'm sick of this Secret Invasion flashback shit. Bendis, I am thoroughly impressed by your ability to tell a nearly seamless crossover event. But I want my NA's back. You know, the ones that kicked a lot of ass and had great adventures IN THE PRESENT... not in some sort of retcon past.

8. Is Gleaming the Cube ever going to get a new DVD release? The world's greatest skateboarding action-drama has been languishing in near obscurity for almost 10 years thanks to stupid movie companies and their DVD publishing. Gleaming the Cube should be in discount bins at Walmart, not out-of-print!

7. When did wholesome become a codeword for underage slut? Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, the Cheetah Girls, and the list goes on and on. WTF???!!! I don't want to see sexualized high school girls! I want to see full grown sexy women! Who the hell is behind the marketing of these young girls because they should be ashamed (and slapped).

6. Where can I get a quality copy of Darkstalkers for the PS1? I looked on Amazon and I found a copy for a decent price but it was still a pretty high price. This leads me to my next question, which is...

5. Which version of Darkstalkers should I get for the PS1??? Ross has the third one and he likes it. But I'm kind of a snob about this stuff -- I don't need all the characters, I just need the best playability. Case in point: I'll take Capcom's Marvel Super Heroes over Marvel vs. Capcom 2 any day. Same with Street Fighter II Turbo over Street Fighter Alpha 3. But before I can even buy one of these damn Darkstalkers games, I need to know...

4. What's a good website for buying old school video games? I love to play NES and PS1 games, but I have to search all around when I want to buy one. I need a good website for getting any used game I want.

3. Does anyone know a GOOD social networking profile aggregator that will let me view information from multiple MySpace profiles simultaneously? I've tried like 10 of these damn aggregators in the past few days and they all pretty much suck. Power.com would be perfect except it only allows for one MySpace account.

2. Who is going to be the next Black Panther? From the looks of it, it can't be Storm (hint: BP has brown eyes on the cover of February's first issue). So is it going to be T'Challa's sister, Shuri, or what?!

1. What the fuck is a "meme"!?! Ross tried to explain it to me, but I still don't get it. So it's something that people pass around online? Could that be more fucking ambiguous?!!! I need a quality definition and Wikipedia just isn't cutting it.

Next: The Top 9 Botanists of the 18th Century!

Why the Top 9? Because 10 is too many and 9 is better. 3 X 3 = Awesome. Now that’s what I call math.

Ross Campbell is afraid that his comics career might be drowned in evil just like Wet Moon 4, while Nick thinks that Ross should reinvigorate the franchise with Ultimate Wet Moon (though Ross would prefer a more classic Wet Moon 2099 revamp instead). Then, after the end theme, Ross shares his feelings on Batman Begins and The Dark Knight (and we promise it ain't pretty).

Kanye West is drenched in auto-tune on 808s & Heartbreak, Ashley Simpson and Pete Wentz join the long list of celebrities who give their children eccentric names (in this case, Bronx Mowgli Wentz), Neal has a 72 hour crush on Hillary Duff and he's pretty sure that Sean Connery is an aphrodisiac, watching the Nick Fury movie is like putting your head in a bag of shit, Watchmen has graphic novel variant covers, and Dynamo 5 #18 is awesome.

I read Ross Campbell's Wet Moon 4: Drowned in Evil graphic novel last week in preparation for our podcast interview airing on December 2, 2008. Here's the text message I sent to Ross when I was done:

Finished wet moon 4. Loved unknown, the cleo & mara thing, and especially the ending.

For good measure, here's an interview with Ross on Comic Book Resources about Water Baby and Wet Moon 4. And for extra awesome measure, here are the AudioShocker's most recent podcast interviews with Ross, one about Water Baby and the other about Wet Moon 4.

New Contributors and Remastered Podcast Interviews

Over the weekend, Neal updated our version of WordPress for the AudioShocker blog, and everything went to hell. Neal got it fixed within a few hours. The only thing we lost was 1 gig worth of podcasts that we've recorded since October of 2007 (well, more like "deleted from our webspace" than "lost").

It took me from Saturday to Monday to get the old podcasts back up, but I was glad. Why? Along with making some minor file naming changes, I was able to remaster two of our favorite comic book creator interviews in the process:

Our 2-plus-hour talk with Ross Campbell, creator of Wet Moon and Water Baby, has been remastered. Ross is finishing up Wet Moon 4 as we speak, and we should have him back on our show very soon.
I also remastered our chat with Brandon Thomas, creator of Miranda Mercury and writer of Ambidextrous. This episode was originally a bit rough in terms of levels, but that's all been fixed.

But I'm not just writing this post about tech issues and old episodes. I'm also here to let you know about two new regular contributors who have joined the AudioShocker:

First up is Shannon, our new books expert, who has already written two fantastic posts for the blog.
Next up is Conrad, who is currently podcasting with me about the AFI's 100 Years... 100 Movies list. The next episode of this series will be up on Friday, July 18, 2008.

Finally, I'm going to be rolling out a new feature on the AudioShocker starting this Sunday, July 20, 2008. It's basically going to be the "AudioShocker Song of the Week." Everything we post will be originally music by artists like Nik Furious, the Unlicensed Attorneys at Law (UAL), Dirty Weekend, Nutsack Supernova, and more. This Sunday will debut a new Nik Furious beat for the upcoming UAL album.
