The Bird of Hermes is my name, eating my wings to make me blah blah blah

To conclude our October extravaganza of Octoberness, we’re finishing out with another set of three with a podcast all about the latest take on Kouta Hirano’s epic tale of vampires, Nazis, and blood, lots of blood.

So yeah, Hellsing Ultimate.

• Hellsing Ultimate Vol 1
• Hellsing Ultimate Vol 2
• Hellsing Ultimate Vol 3
• Hellsing Ultimate Vol 4

Astroboy so did love the world so much that he... er... saved it. With machine gun butt attacks.

We only covered Hellsing Ultimate Volumes 1 thru 3, but you should go on ahead and buy all four. the fourth volume actually has our favorite villain yet, Rip van Winkle!

Protip: If the image to your left does not melt your heart, then there is no hope for you, as your heart is now cold, bitter stone. And you should feel bad. I mean just look at him.

And don’t forget to check out Chris Kohler’s write-up on “The Famous Takahashi.” It’s a really interesting look at a marketing guy you can’t help but to love. That’s really, really hard to do.

Though I guess it helps when you can mash on a video game controller sixteen times in one second.

Also, we know when our podcasting panel will be at CrisisCon! It’s on Sunday November 2nd, from 11:30-12:30 in the Main Events room. It’s called Podcasting 101. We will be joined by our fellow Huntsvegas-ian podcasters Dead Workers Party Network! I suppose we will be talking ahout the basics of getting into podcasting and whatnot, which should be enjoyable. If nothing us you’ll get to listen to us ramble on for an hour of your day. Only this time it’s live and in person! I believe the DWPN guys are playing to pull off either a stream or a live recording of the panel, so I’d imagine we’ll be linking to that when we can.

And then we’ll be heading up north for Nekocon the weekend after! Not that we have any panels or anything planned, but we’ll be there all the same.

As always, please fell free to comment in the comments section, or send us an email at osmcast@gmail.com! Or even call us up on the OSMline! The number is 206-202-0071.

We’ll see you next week!

Shop smart... shop S-Mart!

Kicking reason to the curb once more we take on a terribly terrific trilogy of movie-ocity with Sam Raimi’s and Bruce Campbell’s epic cults classics, The Evil Dead, The Evil Dead II, and Army of Darkness.

Oh, and the musical. You can blame Eric for that one though!

Right now Best Buy has all three movies on sale for $6.99 a pop!

• The Evil Dead
• The Evil Dead II
• Army of Darkness

So you shouldn’t keep yourself away from these films any longer. Unless you’re scared. Of awesome. Best Buy also has the musical for $14.99, but you can also get it at the same price from Amazon.

You know you want one.

Speaking of good ol’ Amazon.com, you could also pre-order the KORG DS-10 Synthesizer! If you ever wanted to make beats on the go, I don’t think you can go very wrong here guys. I mean if it’s good enough for Yasunori Mitsuda, it’s good enough for all of us.

I wish I could also tell you all the reserve the Ghostbusters game but who knows when the game will even be out. Though man, Bill Murray is looking kinda old. But that still doesn’t stop him from asking the relevant questions.

Though sadly he may have received his relevant answer…

Who you gonna call?

Also, don’t forget that in a few weeks (Halloween weekend in fact) we’ll be at CrisisCon in Huntsville, Alabama! When the panel will be… I’m not sure. Hopefully they’ll get back to us soon enough so we can post about it and talk about in our next episode.

Also we’ll be kicking back the very next weekend (November 7th – 9th)  at Nekocon, in glorious Hampton, Virginia! We don’t have any panels or anything planned there, but we’ll be sure to crash something.

And as always, you are more than welcome to let us know you, dear listeners, exist!

I uh, guess that works!

There are many ways you can let us know this! You could…

• Leave us a comment in this very post!
• Call us at the OSMline (206) 202-0071, and if you ask us a question, we’ll answer it for you in the following OSMcast!
• Or just send us an email at osmcast@gmail.com!

It really is that easy!

Silent Hill 2

To further our Halloween tendencies, we decided to rock out with a crazy-long podcast all about Konami’s uber-creepy video games series Silent Hill. Lee takes us on a course of wonder and horror as he details the first four games, while we chime in like the silly fools we are!

This is also the podcast that Refused to Upload, but that’s a story for another time.

October 31st - November 2nd

Okay so we lied last time.

Well not a lie really, we just temporarily forgot one.

You know how we said we had one more con to hit this year? Well, we are actually going to two!

November 7th - 9th

Not only shall we be attending CrisisCon Halloween weekend in Huntsville, Alabama… But we’ll also be going out to Hampton, Virginia for Nekocon the week after!

Which means a 13 hour+ drive for us. But that means a whole new world of people that will get to exprenice the power, majesty, glory that is us, the OSMcast! … Right?

Gina Biggs © Gina Biggs

Here’s our first ever OSMinterview with one of the most awesome women in webcomics, Gina Biggs! She’s the creator of the romantic drama Red String (now being published by Dark Horse Comics) as well as the Grand High Poobah of Strawberry Comics.

Protip: We ended up recording right outside the dealer’s room, so the audio quality isn’t that great. You’ll probably have to turn up the volume a good bit so I wouldn’t recommend listening to in the car or anything.
