FBU: Paul and Tim’s Paramilitary Christmas Special!

It’s that time of year again – people start visiting family, baking Christmas cookies, all that happy holiday spirit stuff.  Which means it’s just about time for your two favorite podcasters (you know it’s true), Paul and Tim, to suggest the crap you should buy for the geek in your life this holiday season!  Along the way, we also chat about….

  • Casting comic book characters
  • Classic comic storyline tropes that we’d like to see again
  • Holiday gifts for your geek

We reference ThinkGeek multiple times in this podcast.

FBU: Dogging of the Dead!

PODCASTER’S NOTE:

Due to scheduling conflicts, we are unable to present our regularly scheduled Funnybooks episode.  Instead, please enjoy a special edition of Funnybooks Unlimited!  And come back Friday for Issue 5 of Knights of Reignsborough…

So what’s “dogging?”  Damned if we know.

Luckily, Cardboard Crack co-host and ENnies recognized podcaster Jonathan Landreth joins Paul and Tim on the mics this week to explain what dogging, blumpkins, and a chili dog are.  Here’s a hint … keep a barf bag handy.

The boys start off talking about the biggest thing they’ve ever eaten, before getting into the awful, awful truth of Jonathan’s new porn obsession (with some zombie stuff thrown in for good measure), hairy French chicks, dropping anchor, and then, inexplicably, end up talking about Dragon Age 2.

Get ready for an FBU like you’ve never heard before with Paul, Jonathan, and Tim, where we talk about anything but comic books!

FBU: Video Game Madness!

PODCASTER’S NOTE:

Due to technical difficulties, we are unable to present our regularly scheduled Funnybooks episode. Instead, please enjoy a special edition of Funnybooks Unlimited! And come back Friday for Issue 3 of Knights of Reignsborough… Interesting note, this episode was recorded in February when Dallas was BURIED in snow.  Conversely, as of today, Dallas is enjoying its 10th consecutive day of 100+ degree heat.

Wayne joins us on the newest episode of FBU, where we go whole hog into chatting about video games, starting with each of our top five video games of all time, and end up going old school and having a conversation about The Oregon Trail and dying of dysentery.  Then we discuss how video games can appeal to our individual tastes, and complain about online gaming.

  • Our top five video games of all time, in which we literally have no overlap in our three lists
  • What we look for in a video game, in which video game companies charge sixty bucks for four hour video games
  • This episode’s Ragey Red Rant, in which we get ripped off for being impatient.

Join Tim, Paul, and Wayne on the newest episode of FBU, where your Funnybooks hosts talk about anything but comic books!

FBU: Fearing the Con!

Editor’s Note: This is the first of our Fear The Con 4 coverage.  FTC4 kicks off tonight with World Wide Wing Night and continues through Saturday night.  Check back often as the Ideology of Madness crew update the feed with pics, commentary and after game reports.  Now, enjoy episode 2 of Funnybooks Unlimited!

Paul’s afraid.  See, the upcoming FEAR THE CON is going to be one of his first times gaming, and he’s afraid of not only being eaten alive by more experienced gamers, but of ruining their gaming experiences with his lack of knowledge.  Tim gives Paul advice on being a first-time gamer going to a gaming convention, in his usual Tim way.

Then, Paul discusses his children’s book series, The Siblings Scarington, and solicits advice from listeners on self-publishing ideas, then complains about the unreliability of some freelancers.  Anybody looking to break into writing should give this episode a listen!

  • First time gaming at Con, in which Tim offers up sage wisdom
  • Getting published, or self-publishing, in which Paul tries not to drop the F-bomb when talking about children’s books
  • Ragey Red Rant, in which freelancers take your money and don’t understand English

FBU is a monthly special where your Funnybooks hosts talk about anything but comics!  Let Tim and Paul make sweet, sweet love to your eardrums!

FBU: Sh!t My Tim Says!

Due to inclement weather keeping certain hosts from getting their comics in time for this week’s show, we are unable to bring you your regularly scheduled Funnybooks with Aron and Paulie. Instead, please enjoy this preview of the latest podcast to join Ideology of Madness – Funnybooks Unlimited.

In our very first episode of Funnybooks Unlimited/Unleashed/Unbound…whatever, Tim and Paul don’t talk about comics, but instead gather together to make fun of poor kids who just want some Dairy Queen for Christmas, mock Holiday traditions a month after they’re over, talk about dumb people doing dumb things, and try not to shoot people in movie theaters.  Then Tim goes off on people who drive like assholes in the snow.

Welcome…to FBU.
