Everyone ready to talk about Back to the Future? How about Halo? Maybe Order of the Stick? Good, because all of these things, and more, are on the menu for this week’s just-under-an-hour edition of the Digital Strips Book Club!
If you hadn’t guessed, the BttF/Halo stuff comes in our first segment, now home to a mix of anything and everything. And leading us from quite a bit of video game chatter is, fittingly, a video game tune, courtesy of Benjamin Briggs titled, “Climb My Mountain, This High” (7:53). His remix of a classic Link’s Awakening tune (out now, on the Nintendo 3DS eShop!) is a wonderful example of how masterful some video game music truly is (if you missed the first ten minutes or so of this year’s Nintendo press event at E3, do yourself a favor and track that down soon).
After this interlude, it’s all business. Â Or as business-y as the Digital Strips News Minute can get!
- (10:48) The Least I Could Do Kickstarter = FUNDED!
- (11:48) Will there be a PAX UK?
- (12:18) Penny Arcade’s The New Kid optioned by Paramount (teaming with Gary Whitta)
- (13:10) Kukuburi’s Ramon Perez to illustrate a Jim Henson screenplay, A Tale of Sand
- (14:17) The Oatmeal has it out with hilarity-scraping site FunnyJunk over ownership
That all pretty much speaks for itself, so why not groove on into our third, slam-bang segment with Stray Dogg’s “Break” (15:54).
It’s hard to say much about this, the 2nd of our 86 part series of Book Clubs on the archivally-engorged Order of the Stick. Possibly because there is still going to be plenty of time to talk about it throughout the remainder of this calendar year. Possibly because things get ugly when the topic of comic strip vs. comic book is broached. Regardless, you should listen and then let us know what your thoughts on this divisive, but incredibly popular series are.
Also mentioned on our ride to insanity:
- (31:15) Spacetrawler
- (37:36) PvP
Finally, after the credits have rolled and the music has sounded, tune in to the after show, where I regale Steve with thoughts about my lunch with a former Digital Stripper (hint: His name rhymes with Brandon J. Carr). Burgers topped with fried egg for everyone!
