Welcome back 🙂
Great podcast! Been looking forward to you guys coming back. This was a great episode, and Failstate is definitely on my “to read” list.
Superhero name? The Mysterious Blue Bassist.
I’d rip off my Twitter handle and be “That Guy”. When someone saw me dash off they’d say, “Who was that guy?”, and their friend will respond, “That Guy”.
I currently have the nickname KG5000, so I would have to go with that as my Super Hero name.
Would you write it in Roman Numerals though? Because then it’d be KGV with a little line over the V. which would be awesome.
I have not though about using Roman Numerals, but that would be pretty sweet. It sounds like I have my own version of The Bible.
Only a couple minutes into the podcast, but I thought you guys might find this helpful: http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/2009/05/05/dork-definition.htm ;]
This really puts my mind at ease. I can go back to calling people dorks again 😀
