Hey there, Troikies! No new podcast this week, but we’re going to try something a little different - our first ever open to the public mailbag! If you have any burning questions, deep inside, that you must get out, relating to anything (and we do mean, ANYTHING), feel free to shoot us a line! Comment below, or shoot an email to either fans@geektroika.com or mike@geektroika.com, since this week it’ll be Mike answering your questions.
Even better, Mike will be answering your questions via video! What to expect? Funny hats, props, other forms of Carrot Top humor? Or will we get the same expressionless recitation as we did for Three Minutes Flat? Send in your questions and tune in to find out!
If you follow me on Twitter, or FriendFeed, you know I have a penchant for posting up stupid Internet videos. Memes, animals, it’s all there. Over the last few months, I’ve discovered a true love in Parry Gripp. The frontman of the group Nerf Herder (named from an insult by Princess Leia in The Empire Strikes Back) and the man who composed the theme song for Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gripp puts out songs weekly for download and use as ringtones on his website.
Gripp came to my attention for the fantastic song “Do You Like Waffles?”, which is my current ringtone.
Hilarious.
The short songs Parry Gripp writes around memes which fly around the Internet are especially hilarious. One of my favorites is “Cat Flushing a Toilet”. Because the Internet LOVES cats.
I highly suggest you check out more of Parry Gripp’s work at his site, download some songs and ringtones, and revel in the comedy. I sure as heck am!
We hinted a few episodes ago that Geek Troika Productions has a few other projects in development right now. Specifically, we mentioned a comedy web series Jon and I are developing called Matsie Reads Her Spam.
As I mentioned on the podcast, MRHS is about a girl named Matsie who is under the impression the spam email she receives are all real. Needless to say, there’s quite a bit of hilarity that ensues as she gets herself wrapped up in a Nigerian money scam. Her two best friends, Carl and Sam are forced to come to her rescue once they realize her spam reading ways are not just a big joke.
I’ve decided to give you a couple screenshots of the animated intro sequence for the show! Tom Riffel was nice enough to offer his artistic services and we greatly appreciate it.
Be on the look out because we’ll post the intro sequence in its entirety very soon. We have a tentative release for early summer 2009.
