  • "Annihilus. Occupation: Megalomaniac."

    Nice work, if you can get it.
  • Once again, and as I've said in another thread, just loving these darn things, Murd! Thanks again!!!

    "Annihilus. Occupation: Megalomaniac."

    Nice work, if you can get it.

    Hearing these read aloud is a nice reminder of how much fun the original writers of the OHOTMU must have had when they made it.

    And, also, how often they would just punt on height and weight. As just about everyone seems to be 6ft and 180lbs.

    LOL!!! That gave me my morning laugh!
  • I love these posts. Keep them coming.
  • I love the compact little doses of Murdosity!

    I've only listened to one (Abomination) and I enjoyed it. I am also somewhat worried about the copyright infringement thing, but I guess unless Marvel calls, keep it going!

    it is easier to get forgiveness than it is permission.

    I also would think-- and it may not come to this-- but if the podcast includes content and commentary on top of the copyrighted material being read, then you will have a better argument that this is fair use rather than infringement.

    No, that wouldn’t help in this case. He’s still reading entries in their entirity. It doesn’t matter how much comentary you add if you’re still reproducing the entire work. To be fair use, he would have to be reading only a limited number of select quotes, and then adding commentary on top of that.
    Yeah, it's funny... I got lambasted for starting a thread that linked to blogs that hosted scans of pre-silver age or unavailable comics...

    I don't see why the same people who told me it was taboo are here heaping praise on reading comics on the air and hoping it can "fly under the radar".

    I personally don't actually see anything wrong with it, but I didn't see anything wrong with linking to a scan of Steranko's OUTLANDER adaptation, either.

    I was curious, since you have brought this up a few times now.

    For context, here is the conversation that @Tonebone is talking about.

    You can judge for yourselves, but I would say "lambasted" is a little strong. Everyone who took issue with the links to scan sites, to my reading, seemed like they were being polite. They questioned, rather than accused. No one said anything negative about you personally or your motives. And it is not like the thread even got deleted. It is still there, and easy to find on a search of your discussions. They basically just said, 'we should be careful about this'.

    And they actually aren't the same people praising the MOHOTMU episodes in this discussion. In fact, in the case of @nweathington‌ , he is saying the same thing here, that they should be careful about this.

    I would encourage you to follow the link and take another look. I feel like your recollection of how you were talked to by people about this may be more negative than what is actually there on the thread.

  • I didn't remember having brought this up, before, but sure enough... I have.

    Sorry.

    I just had a bad day, and I think I just wanted to be sour.

    Fair enough. And thanks for admitting it was that. Sorry about the bad day.

    My cell phone has more memory than both Avengers Mansion computers combined. In fact my phone has almost 3X the amount of "HP's experimental large memory-whatever" computer..funny stuff.

    Enjoyed "Editorial". I remember reading that and saying to myself " That's why Marvel is better than DC". DC got better post Crisis but I was a certified Marvel Zombie then and that rationalized it for my teen brain.
  • The Appendix to Issue #1 kept giving me a start every time that loud "PING" would play for a topic change.

    Still thankful for that Steranko "Outland" link, carefully thankful that is :)
  • These "MOHOTMU" are great but can we get them out of the main feed? I just want the normal episodes and right now you can't do that on iTunes. How do I get CGS with out "MOHOTMU"? There is too many of them on the feed....
  • I support this. I would love for the MOHOTMU to be on a separate feed.

    I found it to be too much as well since the shows are automatically downloaded. I only listened to the first few before giving up on it. So I've since unsubscribed to the podcast. I now download just the main episodes manually. But without the automatic download, I know I've skipped a few eps here and there lately. That's probably not what the Geeks want to hear but it was the only way to stop filling up my queue.

    5 extra episodes a week that run for about 3 minutes each isn't an unmanageable burden to me.

    I enjoy everything on the main feed as well, despite the fact that I'm still having the strange issue where my iTunes isn't updating the CGS podcast at all. I have to manually go get the new episodes from the store. But it's well worth it. :)
  • Well now that is official that MOHOTMU is no longer on the main feed, as an iTunes user where do I find the new MOHOTMU's? I've looked and can't find it tonight.

    I checked with Bryan and he said that it may take a while for iTunes to update to the new feed and that you can manually add the RSS feed into iTunes.

    From our homepage here's a link to all the RSS feeds - comicgeekspeak.com/rss.php

    These are great, but @Adam_Murdough‌'s reading of the Black Cat was the first time I thought of Felicia & felt turned off!

    Have you checked your subscription settings? Make sure you are set to download all episodes. I'm still running iTunes 11 because they screwed up the way podcasts work in the newer versions. Personally, I prefer the MOHOTMU on it's own feed. Are all the entries Murd has done so far going to be added to this feed?
