Trip Report: Opie & Anthony Traveling Virus - PNC 2008

August 4th, 2008 by gambit32

Opie & Anthony’s Traveling Virus went out well this year.  I honestly don’t think I’ve had this much fun in  years now.  Things went off, for me at least, without a hitch.

I got my ticket a month ago, but I honestly had no intention of going into the venue what so ever.  I went down to hang with my friends in the parking lot, not to go inside.  I arrived at 1:20ish, and you know you’re in a good crowd when you pull into a spot and can hear people start screaming “GAAAAMBIT” before you even turn the radio down or open a door or window

Quickie: G32 hat

July 30th, 2008 by gambit32

Rather than respond individually to everyone who emailed me from the last post (for the love of god, I have comments enabled for a reason): Yes, I have a hat that is labeled G32.  This is easily generation #5 for this hat, since when I have one I wear it until the stitching unravels.  Aard got me my first one, my sister the next, and I’ve bought (at least) three on my own.  You kind of lose count after some point.

So sue me.  I’ve had over 15 years with this nickname, and I’m damned proud of it.

Secret Show To The Future on XM 202

July 25th, 2008 by gambit32

This Saturday at Midnight, immediately following The Lazlow Show on XM 202: Secret Show To The Future.

In this latest installment, to top off the last 2 months worth of nonstop Back To The Future references, Anthony and Danny will be doing live commentary while watching BTTF in studio.  Listeners are encouraged to follow along, and to sync up their viewing with the show.  Steps will be taken to take the radio and satellite propogation delays into account.

Considering how the last Secret Show went, you can be guaranteed this will be nearly 3 hours of drinking, and by the end some pretty amazing inebriated commentary.  If you don’t have XM, you can listen online on their stream offering.  Its got a free trial that will cover you.

I’ll be signed in over on Paltalk and listening in whatever room is running a stream.  I’m expecting the live room to be open, but you can find me as ‘gambit32′ and I’ll invite you to wherever things are going down.

Here is Danny’s commercial for the show.

Come back Sunday, and I’ll see if I can get the secret show posted someplace…. secret … or someplace else secret.

Geodetic benchmark in Wickford, RI

July 23rd, 2008 by gambit32

I was going through some old photos and found this. I was in Wickford with family, and I happened across this on a small walking bridge. I’ve come across other markers without discs, but this is the first disc I’ve actually seen.

Doctor Who and the fate of Susan Foreman

June 13th, 2008 by gambit32

Just a quick note here. One of the questions about The Time War from this latest incarnation of Doctor Who has been the fate of other Time Lords known to exist. The BBC Doctor Who FAQ which was just updated this week states

The Doctor is the last of the Time Lords. We’ve no details of any other survivors, including Susan, The Rani, Romana or Chancellor Flavia. Please don’t email us about this.

However, we do indeed know (in part.) In The Empty Child, Doctor Constantine remarks

“Before this all began, I was a father and a grandfather; and now I am neither”

The Doctor’s response?

“I know the feeling.”

Susan Foreman was the Doctor’s grandaughter. I can only guess she is assumed dead in the Time War as well. I personally think of it as a hunt through time to destroy the remaining Time Lords, like Vader’s quest to kill all the Jedi in Star Wars.

How else would those like the Master, The Rani, Susan, etc be potentially presumed dead. They werent soldiers, they were rogues. For them to be potentially killed in various time streams, they would need to be hunted down.

We’ve seen The Doctor wrong in the past, with the Master’s return after the prediction from The Face of Boe. Who knows. I’ve got my own predictions (which other also seem to have picked up on) on some of the arc words for this season. I’d like to see some of them answered this season, but I’m hoping they’ll drag this out for many many more.

MacGyver movie in the making!

May 3rd, 2008 by gambit32

This is excellent news! It takes a lot to get me into a theater these days. I’ll be there if this ever makes it. I pounded down 9 seasons and 2 made for tv movies in a matter of months. Something in theaters would be great, but I’m going to stick on the side of caution and hold firm that it will be a straight-to-DVD kind of situation.

Today at Maker Faire 2008, MacGyver creator (and real life inspiration) Lee David Zlotoff announced he has a big budget MacGyver movie in the planning stages.

Holy Crap: MacGyver Blockbuster Film Coming!
