I have liked all of Sigler's work so far. There's no denying talent. Which is why I can't believe nocturnal didn't make it. If at least three of his remaining 5 don't win, my faith in humanity will be shattered!

Only two of the remaining five can win. They're in the same category... I prescribe for you a few passes through the Rolling Stones' "Shattered." You'll feel better.

Ever since treed rigged for silent running (but don't worry, he WILL be back!), our collective math skills have gone right in the toilet. We're nothing but a bunch of undisciplined, mathematically unsupervised hooligans and yardies.

What is the Treed math thing? I've seen it mentioned in passing several times, but it must have been before I became active. I'm clueless as to what it means anytime it comes up.

I'm late to this party but what great news about the qualifiers.

Blows wad that Nocturnal didn't make it in, but if/when any of the qualifiers win it will hopefully ease the pain!

~~~ mwhuahahahahaha ... so it's, you know, coming along ~~~~~~~

You're usually right on top of the forum posts. Yeah, Scott was really annoyed about Nocturnal. But he was totally psyched about so many making it in, as was I. We'll find out this weekend if the FDO finally gets recognized with a Parsec or not. I'm not familiar with all of the competion, but I know Huntress will be very difficult to beat. I did not listen to their 10 minute submission though.

Yeah, I've been behind on some of the posts...I was sidetracked by rewatching the entire Neon Genesis Evangelion series....twice.....over the past two weeks.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for Siggy & the elusive Parsec award this weekend. Really bummed I can't be at Dragon Con.

Oh and JP, please add "un-gmorky" to the ever-growning Gmork Lexicon. Definintion....FTW

Non-Gmorkish, un-Gmorky: 1)Behaving contrary to Gmork 2)Not in the spirit of Gmork

Gmorkism: 1)Behavior exhibited by Gmork 2)short trick to living life espoused by Gmork

Gmorkianity: 1)Religion of Gmorkishness

Could I really hope to start my own religion? Somehow it seems like blasphemy towards Siglerism, yet the inner Evil Me is salivating...what to do!

Netflix has NGE and it's in our queue! The whole frackin' series! And un-gmorky is added!

A Gmorkbag would be a person who does not appreciate the outstanding dedication and effort displayed by our Gmork in all the wonderful wiki pages.
and Gmorkbaggery would be the act of showing disrespect
and not appreciating the above mentioned effort.
and of course Gmorkbaggery could only be committed by a Gmorkbag.

I feel better...I'd love to have it as a subdivision of Siglerism....or maybe it's a branch of Siglerism, like the Marines are a branch of the Service ;)

it was the one of the first podcast novels that I had started to listen to last October. That, Infection, and Heaven Season 1.

A word of caution...the whole story is told in wha amounts to metaphors. I had to watch it twice just to try to make sense of it! It's visually beautiful (for as old a story as it is) but it was almost made to leave you with more questions than ansswers. Intriguing but maddening at the same time.
