FYI : Live Recap of Upcoming Podcasts

Usuallty I just write this out in advance and cut and paste the update, but today we are waiting on boxes and packages that will mean new episodes.... well, TWO new episodes anyway... so while we wait on the long slow ship from California for two "packages" and the plane with the one package of TPBs let's recap what we are waiting on...

OMGComics Episode 1
This one we're unpacking the package of TPBs for this one, even though maybe only so much content will be actually used for this one seeing how I am cutting off the date from 2010 to present review wise so... I have very little in that range... really. Maybe I need to expand to 2001... anyway the TPB unpacking will have hopefully new stuff for this cast, even if I have to crank it back abit year wise... should be in the box today, said so on the it should be here today thing on the USPS site... sigh.

This Old Comic Addict Episode 2
This one we're unpacking two... packages... I'm guessing box like things considering the amount that is coming in but we'll see... anyway lots of content from Valiant, the Malibu Ultraverse and MARVEL here to go over... when the two packages ever arrive. I mean it left the East Coast on March 5th, was supposed to be here March 20th and... it is still between California and here... maybe it's still on the boat. Stay tuned.

Other casts awaiting things
That New 52 Smell
Subscription resolution finally happening in a few days... for maybe 10-20% of the review content... well, I didn't say it would be a dramatic resolution but it pushes the series forward ever so slightly.

20% more should be resolved by May, and another 20% by June so... hmmm... that leaves 20-30% to resolve which will all be done by June... like I said, not too exciting but it will mean a full show every week or two of content to review.

So far first Phase, the Super Phase, is moving along OK and this week's resolution will make a major mark on this. The second phase, to be announced, will be announced in April.

As for the first unpacking and review? Still waiting on it. And yes... DC Comics never responded to my email about my question about subscriptions... sigh... I guess I can send another email and see what happens... poke and prod them enough and maybe somebody will cry out "WE DON'T LIKE PEOPLE!!" and then that's it... wow... that's kinda sad and pathethic if you think about it. Sigh.

Well that's it for my live typing. Later on today I will live type content on RKYV Revue, stay tuned (as hopefully that will contain updates). See you!

TOCA Journal 1 : That Unboxing Episodes

TOCA Journal - Waiting for Something Man

These days alot of my podcasts seems to rotate around the concept of... waiting.

And not just That New 52 Smell either in terms of subscriptions made or in negotiation. I also mean waiting for trades for This Old Comic Addict, or even This Old DC Swag... and even for Pocket Gamer.

Yup. Waiting to exhale, and do unboxing episodes, is universal. Boring and universal.

The longest wait is for two boxes sent for a giant trade. The unboxing of these two? Most definitely an episode of This Old Comic Addict will revolve around the unboxing. But really. It was sent via ground, and the longest part is the long ship trip between California and Hawaii... still it is almost here, so recording shortly.

Another trade, another opening episode for This Old Comic Addict. Not nearly quite as massive as what I am expecting in the first trade, yes, but still vitally important. This trade will provide fresh review content for my RKYV reviews, being fresher stuff. Timing wise this will probably arrive on a weekend I usually record an episode of This Old Comic Addict so that works out well for me.

But moving things is not just for This Old Comic Addict. Skipped a week of Waiting To Recharge over at http://www.rpgunite.blogspot.com  because I didnt have much to report on... this week I should have abit to say in that regard.

Finishing a trade for subscriptions for That New 52 Smell... still hoping for a positive outcome. Stay tuned.

So... anything else? Nothing to report on for now, but all of this does bring up the topic of unboxing episodes... who gets them.

Top of the list is This Old Comic Addict, and This Old DC Swag, two series that dig into the past is full of potential for unboxing episodes now and then.

I thought we would do more unboxing for a newer cast not That New 52 Smell... maybe we still could do that. Once I am of a higher level as a reviewer.

Finally less unboxing and more unveiling everytime a new subscription issue arrives. Something that will become more and more commonplace as the review titles all fall into place one by one. Still I wonder if, over time, we might not also see a more traditional unboxing of review content over time, and the advent of donations or... heaven forbid... finally meeting DC Comics criteria as a reviewer worthy of access.

Hmm... I think I will keep track every weekend of incoming trades and potential donations for unboxing episodes... starting next week. So stay tuned!
