November is webcomics month! So every week this month we’ll have a new episode entirely based around the comics we read! It’s a great place to get some suggestions and get to readin’, because we love webcomics and so should you!

This week we’re gonna talk about our favorite comics with a story to tell, these ones in particular being more on the dramatic side than the funny side. These are the ones with a serious tale to spin, ones that can make you cry or sit on the edge of your seat while you read. Be careful, cause these are the ones that might make it so that you can’t stop reading.

THIS WEEK’S COMICS:

– Questionable Content

– Lackadaisy

– Rice Boy

– Supernormal Step

– Pictures For Sad Children

– Namesake

– Em Carroll’s Comics

– Misfile

It’s begun! Season 4 of Read the Manual has become a thing at last! We’re finally here and ready to begin! We got a shiny new intro (recorded by our good friend on the interwebs GameBuddy) and… oh, Doba lost his mic. So he sounds awful. Well guys, pack it in, it was fun while it lasted. Also this one is super short because we went to Youmacon, so…

This week’s big topics include Steam Powered Giraffe, Disney music, Castles in the Sky, Beastie Boys, Lazytown, Level-3 (Perfume), The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Scary Godmother, Halloweentown High, 1408, Halloween, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ed Edd n’ Eddy’s Big Picture Show, Chronicle, South Park, Kamen Rider Gaim, Twin Peaks, Twilight Zone, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies, Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney: Justice For All, Project M, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Street Pass, Wii Party U, Tron: Legacy Pinball, and Oculus Rift on Android.

November is webcomics month! So every week this month we’ll have a new episode entirely based around the comics we read! It’s a great place to get some suggestions and get to readin’, because we love webcomics and so should you!

To start off the month we talk about how we got into webcomics in the first place, what some of our first webcomics were, and quickly read off a list of every comic we keep up with in preparation for the rest of the month. From Garfield, Calvin & Hobbes, drawing our own comics, all the way to VGCats and Penny Arcade join us as we recollect our memories of this weird journey we’ve taken in life! This month is just getting started.

First of all we’d like to thank Missingno for sending us a bunch of lists. Second of all we’d like to apologize, because Doba picked the worst one right off the bat. This episode is rough, not interesting, and a myriad of other problems. It’s UGO’s Top 50 Weapons in Video Games and not only is it a bad list it also isn’t one that generates much discussion. Shouldn’t happen with the other ones but we were bound to find a completely bad list eventually. Oh well.

This is it folks, the last episode of season 3. When next you see us, we will be on season 4… in the great beyond! Actually it’ll just be right here. On this site. Or front page. Or forum post. Or wherever you’re reading this. iTunes? Nah, that implies listeners. Also for this episode we held an RTM lightning round and pissed off a lot of people, so that would definitely be worth a listen if you haven’t already considered it!

This week’s big topics include RJD2, Avett Brothers, Disney music, Sleigh Bells, Nada Surf, Wax Fang, various pop music, Perfume, Spirited Away, Whisper of the Heart, The Cat Returns, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Lilo & Stitch 2: Stitch Has a Glitch, Little Mermaid II: Return to Sea, Matt & Pat’s Shitstorm 2: The Shittening, The Smash Brothers, Kamen Rider Gaim, Shmvoo, Pokemon (Anime), Argo, Dora the Explorer, Coraline, The Twilight Zone, Power Rangers Megaforce, Pokemon X/Y, Project M, The Stanley Parable, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword.

And stay tuned after the main show for our special LIGHTNING ROUND in which we’re super mean to people!

GUEST APPEARANCES: Exo-Raikou, PsychoWingX9, Varshol, Darkurai, solitudeSlicer, Joe Bush, Marty, ToonLucas, MajorMoses, ZeroRanma, and Missingno

We’re free of IGN thanks to Joe Bush, and it looks like we might be free for awhile! Today’s List is also shorter than they’ve been but we like to think it makes up for it by being totally ridiculous in every way possible. Today’s list is GameRevolution’s Top 50 Worst Game Names Ever, and boy howdy does that name not lie in the least bit. People got paid for these names. Sit back and think about that.

We’re oh so very tired this week, guys. Just so very tired. The most tired. Pro tip for all you up and coming podcasters who obviously see us as shining beacons of inspiration (PFFFFFT), don’t record an episode of your show the night after an event that requires you to get very little sleep. Just don’t, okay? We checked, took one for the team, we suffered so you did not have to.

This week’s big topics include Zachary Roberts, Muppet Mash (Pogo), Muzai Moratorium (Shiina Ringo), Huey Lewis and the News, Roosevelt Franklin, Jonathan Coultan, Dancing With the Stars, Agents of SHIELD, The Goldbergs, Return of Jafar, Hunchback of Notre Dame II, Mulan II, Matt & Pat’s Shitstorm 2: The Shittening, The Last Unicorn, Black Books, Sleepy Hollow, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, South Park, American Dad, Breaking Bad Finale, Project M, Rhythm Heaven Fever, Mario Party 2, Pokemon FireRed, Grand Theft Auto V, and Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

Oh my god, for the sake of our sanity please somebody give us a new site to get these kinds of lists from. We can’t do this anymore. IGN is killing us here. This week’s list is IGN’s Top 100 SNES Games. In our opinion the Super Nintendo era is really where games hit their stride and so it’s only natural the system would have a massive library with some great games! Too bad we still find a way to not have heard of or played a good amount of them.
