The Gloomers Holiday Extravaganza!
9I mentioned that I was going to guest on an episode of The Gloomers, and here it is! I had so much fun recording with them, and I love how my animated-self turned out. I also did a behind-the-scenes interview with Moses the day we recorded, which you can view below:

Anything but “gloomy” with The Gloomers
8I had the distinct honor of hanging out with the team from The Gloomers and Jetset Studios this week, while I was there recording voiceover for a very special guest role in their upcoming holiday episode! I can’t tell you too much more about it (since we want it to be a surprise), but in the meantime check out their Friday the 13th show below!
I loved doing the voice-acting for a character, hopefully I can work with them again sometime. The Gloomers are also on Facebook, so if you like what you see become a fan.
Trending Topics on MaximumPC
5Just a quick heads up in case you missed it, but I’ve been writing a new column over at MaximumPC called Trending Topics. It’s based around my thoughts (however random) on the social media and Web 2.0 world, and it’s published every other week. Here are my first three posts:

RiffTrax LIVE: Plan 9 from Outer Space
8
In case you didn’t hear the news from Comic-Con, I’m going to be hosting the RiffTrax LIVE event on August 20th! Now, this is way bigger than just the typical internet streaming event: it’s going to be broadcast to over 400 movie theaters across the country! The guys will be riffing on the classic Ed Wood film Plan 9 from Outer Space (thought by many people to be one of the worst films ever made). In addition, the wonderful Jonathan Coulton will be performing, along with a special segment by Rich “Lowtax” Kyanka of Something Awful.
We’re going to be recording the show in Nashville, TN, but unfortunately that theater has already sold out. So make sure you get tickets while you can from the website!
In other news, the RiffTrax panel at Comic-Con was a blast. Not only did the guys do a live riff of a video short called “Shake Hands with Danger,” but we also had the crowd plead their case for the next full-length RiffTrax feature! The selection was for one of my favorite bad movies, Dragon Wars.
By the way, here are all my pictures from Comic-Con. I got to meet so many awesome people (like Phil Plait from Bad Astronomy), that was probably the most fun I’ve ever had a convention. Although, Tom and I are heading to Dragon*Con in September, so that might come close… more on that one coming soon.
