Radio Active #77: Footsteps in the Night

by

Radio Active PodcastOn this episode of Nuketown Radio Active, Neutron Lad gives up diapers for good, StarGirl and I get in a game of Settlers of Catan, I head back to the gym (again) and set some goals and I share my reviews of a bunch of new games, including Resident Evil 5, Star Ocean and Ticket to Ride.

In Netheads, I take a look at the Launchy fast-application launcher for Windows and Linux, and share some Tor.com-inspired thoughts about the future of comic books.

Getting the Show

There are several ways to get the podcast:

    • Tor: Are Comic Books Dying?
      • Heather Massey speculates on the demise of comic books as we know them. I’ve got to agree; a weekly pull is getting harder and harder, trade paperbacks are getting much more appealing, and the online archives do suck.
      • Reading a comic in digital format is, well, tough.
      • An iTablet could help with this; good resolution, plus easy portability, could help a lot (and help preserve trade paperbacks).
