Episode 14 — The Control Room

[admin 330]

Whispers are used as the gang finally stumbles upon the collector’s control room. While figuring out what their next move will be, Amarth Amon (Brian Posehn) & Mildred Maxton (Sarah Guzzardo) surprise each other by switching roles and Blackee Green (Blaine Capatch), Bartho Shett (Ken Daly) & Carn (Mr. Sark) eagerly wait to see the possible action unfold near the 2 hostages. There will be ear plugging, tears and more of Blaine’s ads!

Keep Em' comin! Cant wait to see whats next, so stoked you finished the room! The next game will start off sick.

[Ryan Riddell 110]

I miss you already Karn!

And Blaine's Axe Body Spray ad was a snorter.

 

Speaking of Blaine Ads:

"This break is brought to you by Q-Tips! Q-Tips: Doctors say to not use them for your ears, but why the fuck else would you buy them?"

"This break is brought to you by Nintendo! Nintendo: The 4th best company with an Italian Plumber mascot!"

[Cabbagehead 61]

That was such an awesome finish! So glad they kept it going, next ep is gonna be sweet!

[choochoo_the_wonder_slut 740]

This was an epic episode! An extra 25 minutes AND major Duke Nukem style ass kicking throughout AND the funniest Blaine Ad yet AND our first taste of a vorpal botch apparent self-manslaughter!?

 

[therealMATTLOXLEY 135]

this was sick!! love this podcast....karn-shine on my shoulder makes me happy

[Uncle Monty 6]

Easily the best episode!

 

It had everything. Lots of action (which 13 was a little lacking in) and everyone was so funny, especially Blaine and Sarah (her motivational actions to the hostages) and the 'after hours' extra length was a real treat.

 

Superb!

Carn I posthumously dub thee Sir Phobos: Knight of Mars, Beater of Ass.

 

Unfortunately known throughout the land as Carn the Botch.

[choochoo_the_wonder_slut 740]

Listening again with my buddy at work and realized there was no crazy shit segment in this one. Felt they really found their stride in this episode so maybe they should skip it more often.

 

Also looking forward to the gang looking out the window next week and seeing Carn gruesomely impaled on something. Bonus irony points if he somehow landed on and crushed Tras.

[JeffRozak 14]

I agree that this was the best ep so far. Thank you, Brian, for letting it go long -- I've been hoping for longer episodes since the beginning. Why limit to 60min anyways?

 

"...and as the camera pulls back out through the broken windows, we see our heroes collecting themselves, dusting each other off, and beginning to look around at the semi-destroyed control room. Just before the picture fades to black, we can just barely perceive the image of a spectral Karn rising from the water below the control tower on the back of a very familiar spirit bear as they make their way to the great beyond......"

[RobotsPJs 123]

Always keep going! I don't care how long the episode is.

[RichardsCopyCat 22]

Blackie Green totally gets MVP of this episode!

[iangustafson 30]

+1 for let it go long more often.

 

This episode was great.

[robinsbruce 4985]

Awesome episode. Going long is definitely cool as long as it helps to keep continuity.

[tobyism 10]

The show is just getting better (not counting the absence of Gerry.. WE MISS YOU SPIRIT BEAR!) but please stop the whispering.. and holy shit the Clevon Big joke had me rolling.

[Joe McGurl 8358]

Holy shit this episode was awesome, I don't think you'll hear anyone complain that they run too long. I could have easily listened to another hour of it!

 

Blackee Green was totally a badass here, he was tearing shit up!

 

R.I.P. Carn, you worthless piece of crap.

[Surly Captain 131]

Great episode - I never thought the death of a npc would have me laughing until I cried - oh Karn...

 

BlackeeGreen get's the covetted Rick James MVP award.

 

[choochoo_the_wonder_slut 740]

Holy shit that album cover. Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

[Brendan 96]

 

RIP Karn.

[Tezcatlipoca 6]

The flavor text on the Wesley Willis Headbutt sounds awesome!

 

"With a cry of "Rock n' Roll McDonald's!" you leap forward to deliver a crushing blow with your forehead, stunning your opponent and leaving them muttering about demons and a hell ride."

 

 

Seriously, great episode! Thank you!

[benk 257]

Blackie Green? More like AssKickie... Green. Yeah!

[action52 554]

I think the gang deserves some level-ups for this one!

[ickubus 2]

Whoa whoa whoa!! Carn could be dangling just outside the window. If he dies the party loses a very important part of the group. The role of "Meat Shield"

[Foltaire 333]

After this episode, I can safely say Nerd Poker is among my favourite podcasts, even though you've only released fourteen so far. You just ascended from 'improves my week' tier to the rarefied heights of the 'I'll cry and shit furiously if you stop' echelon.

 

RIP, Karn. A martyr to quality audio entertainment.

[Skeevins 322]

If they had only listened to Brian and broke early, Karn would still be alive. This is what happens when people don't listen to Brian. People die.
