Errol: My knitting needles… they are bamboo and so cool…
Comic 662 – “IRL”
Errol: Poor Debs. We’ve been together two years, and we are complete opposites. If you ever wonder if we argue, oh boy, do we argue. *LAUGH*
Debs: Errol always keeps his cool though. That decreases the exploding. I think.
The Search for Geek: Hello, The Future!
Errol stalks geek musicians on twitter and he came across Hello, The Future as he was following links from other geek musicians. He chatted away to her as he does to almost everyone that runs into his Sphere of Engagement and, much to Errol’s delight, she responded back. A few months ago, Errol and Nerds with Guitars did a google hangout with her as they asked advice on the geek music industry. She later wrote a blog post about it which you should read if you aspire to become the next musical, nerd wonder!

Comic 661 – “Crash”
Whitless: This weekend was a whirlwind. Barely any sleep has been had. Errol had it worse than me, I managed to get a short nap yesterday, but last night because of the incredibly late, albeit fun, Fan Fiction Night we ended up getting to sleep around 4am. Some people have wondered what Errol would be like when he’s drunk. The best way to see that is to see Errol when he is tired. And I don’t just mean “is feeling slightly drowsy” tired, I mean “can barely stand up and will sleep on your bed for almost two hours” tired. His speech slurred, he couldn’t focus, he stumbled around and mumbled incoherent sentences (yes, even MORE incoherent than usual). And then he passed out on my bed until his wife could come and pick him up. In his last moments of consciousness he murmured something about me doing the comic. So that’s what I did while he snored (the man can snore). I hope you don’t mind my photoshop disasters for another day

So apologies for the lack of podcast tonight. We were pretty wiped and in the end I was glad not to have to expend the extra energy though I did miss geeking out with you folks 
. Hopefully next week will be a different story!
In other news though, we chillaxed with our new game Last Of Us, which so far is a pretty amazing game. It’s what, in my opinion, a zombie game should be. Every bullet is precious. It’s what Tomb Raider should have been.I wanted to do a vlog on our first impressions of it but that will have to wait for another day .
Errol: Wow. I don’t think I’ve ever felt that exhausted before in my life. Manpans bought me Swiss Chalet and when I started eating it, I was so tired that I almost threw up after the first bite. I immediately decided I need to sleep and took a nap. *laugh* NAP TIMES!
After I slept, I was able to eat the food!
Honestly, it was all my fault. I’ve been staying up until 1am every night for the last week. So I’ve only been getting 6 hours of sleep and I’m old, remember. I can’t do that. And then on friday and saturday, I think that number went to 5 hours of sleep. *LAUGH*
I need better discipline, that’s for sure!
Thanks, Manpans.
Comic 660 – “Late For Us”
Errol: It’s late when I’m posting this. So tired. Maybe Manpans can blurb about the awesome on Friday night.
Whitless: It WAS an awesome night! Errol and I went for Greek food and fancy dessert! Then we went to a party that Alex from Nerds With Guitars was organizing. I don’t know if I can talk much about it, but I was mushy feeling by the end. THEN we went and got Errol’s keyboard at his house so that we could bring it to mine so that we have an easier place to pick it up today. We dragged it across the subway system. It was really crowded. I was a little overwhelmed. I thought we’d just skip the game since it was midnight, but Errol still wanted to play. It’s really good so far! And tense! And you can only carry 16 bullets at a time! I can’t wait to play more!
Today is even longer. Not for me, I have a chance to nap. But Errol has a marathon day and then at midnight he’ll be playing at the Fan Fiction night! I’m going to dress up as a ZOMBIE! And this afternoon I’m filming another Whitless Letter! TALLY HO!
