So What's going on with Tom?

[Ex-S Woo]

I was listening to the poweruser.tv podcast and they eluded to Tom possibly getting snatched away by one of the big guys.

What's going on?

Spill the beans!

[Alan Dunkin]

Snatched by what, aliens? Who are we talking about here? And big guys meaning who? Could you try to be more ambiguous?

[Rywill]

Is he saying Tom is dead?




Because I noticed that in the photo on the cover of the last Qt3, he's the only one barefoot.

[Troy S Goodfellow]

I thought Tom was one of the big guys.

[Backov]

"He can't make it this week.. we'll let him make that announcement.."

Sounds like something's going down there.

[Matthew Gallant]

He's getting a boob job.

[Steve Canyon]

He's getting a boob job.

For his sake I hope he's getting both done. Nothing worse than asynchoronous boobs.

[XPav]

He's getting a boob job.
It's rough what showbizness will make you do to get ahead.

Poweruser without Tom becomes the Brad show really quick. Lack of balance. The CES show was good since it was less wackiness and full of Vista new. (Why I'm horny for Vistia I do not know since I have a mac with a recent version os X) However this last power user show was rather a drag.
As for Tom, I wonder if he is doing the rumored Computer Gaming World Pod cast?

[Matthew Gallant]

No, it's just that the big guys who snatch you up like that sort of thing.

[Aszurom]

Just remember, anybody who makes more money than you doing what they like is a sellout.

[Ex-S Woo]

Damn porn actors!

I don't care about Vista even a little bit. The CES broadcast was a nightmare for me. The Brad Show is the stuff I listen to the Poweruser Podcast for, generally while playing Disgaea. The two things are becoming inextricably linked in my mind.

Edit: I haven't heard this week's show yet, so if Brad was really annoying in it, I still have the opportunity to distance myself from that. Although having endorsed his prior body of work has probably already damned me in the eyes of many. Well screw you! If you love Windows Vista so much, why don't you let it put its hand up your ass?

[Rob_Merritt]

Well screw you! If you love Windows Vista so much, why don't you let it put its hand up your ass?


I'm pretty sure thats in the EULA already

[Backov]

The CES show annoyed me and put me to sleep at the same time, I couldn't listen to it, turned it off after about 20 minutes.

This week wasn't too horrible, but I think Tom was needed.

I like when Brad threatens to talk about his gas and his co-workers all shout, "NO! PLEASE!"

It makes me wonder what working with Brad must smell like.

[Troy S Goodfellow]

Sometimes I find the voices hard to distinguish. Maybe they can hire someone with a funny accent so I can figure out who is saying what if I fast forward to the middle.

Troy

[wildpokerman]

I'd like to announce that Tom will be staring in Brokeback Mountain II, Across the Podium co starring Jose Liz

Me too, I can't tell the guests apart. I am not convinced Brad and Tom are different people, one of them might be a sockpuppet.

[Backov]

They're both Tom.. When he wants to be Brad he just holds his nose closed.

(Sorry Brad, couldn't resist.)

This image brought to you by Sparky, of course.

[Jason McMaster]

Never listened to it but I wanted to pop in and call Tom a sellout by the rules that were put forth earlier in the thread.

[Nathan]

This image brought to you by Sparky, of course.

S'allright.

[RichardC]

I prefer The Brad Show to The Tedious Microsoft Person Talks About Fonts Show.

Holy crap, no kidding there.

1 ONE I X HE ^ DIE

[Jason McMaster]

Wait, is Tom the walrus?

[Shadari]

Blame Rita.

[Ephraim]

Tom's silence in this thread is deafening.

[Bill Dungsroman]

CAN YOU HEAR ME SAYING NOTHING!??!

[TomChick]

Well, there's actually nothing to say yet. But in lieu of any current podcasting announcements, you guys should watch The Office tomorrow night.

-Tom

[Wholly Schmidt]

Are you implying you'll be on it?

Man, I'll be the coolest guy at my office on Friday for the 30 seconds between:

"I know a guy who was on last night's episode of The Office!"

and explaining that by "know a guy" I mean "communicate indirectly with on the internet about video games." Maybe I can regain their adoration by explaining we have the same TV (http://www.quartertothree.com/game-talk/showthread.php?goto=lastpost&t=23816) too, but I doubt it.

[Rob_Merritt]

you guys should watch The Office tomorrow night.

Watch the Office? Why do you hate us so?

[Jason McMaster]

I can say that a guy that was on the office last night kicked my ass at Perfect Dark 0

[Steve Canyon]

I can say I played Vietcong at the house of a guy who was on Office! Screw work. I am giong to hang out at the water cooler all day tomorrow.

[Hanzii]

I can say, that I once recieved an email from a guy that...

... fuck The Office, I once talked to Christopher Lee.

[mono]

So did anyone watch the office tonight? I missed it, but I'll be peeking a the torrent I expect...

[Squirrel Killer]

It was obviously typecast.

Semi-colon. Right parenthesis.

[Funkman]

The whole episode I sat there trying to figure out how they would work him in. Was he going to be an office temp? A customer at Hooters? A random passerby?

But no.. He was Oscar's gay lover!

[Sidd_Budd]

Might want to put some spoiler tags there, Funk; I'm pretty sure it hasn't yet shown on the West coast.

[Damien Falgoust]

That...is awesome.

Does Jose Liz know yet?

[Funkman]

Might want to put some spoiler tags there, Funk; I'm pretty sure it hasn't yet shown on the West coast.

Good thing I didn't go through with my original plan by posting a new thread about it.


... in all caps.

[Squirrel Killer]

How would that've gone? "MY FAVORITE PART WAS WHERE TOM GETS BOUGHT."?

[Steve Canyon]

Awesome! Nice work Roger.

[SlyFrog]

Who's the guy that looks like a young Vladimir Putin?

[Troy S Goodfellow]

Either there's something about that lighting or Tom has had Botox.

Troy

[Albert Woo]

Hah, nicely done, Roger.

[ToutSuite]

I don't get it. :(

[Marcus]

I don't get it. :(


Not unlike life.

[Squirrel Killer]

Like sands through the hourglass, these are the days of our lives.

[shift6]

His whole head was rendered with 7 polygons.

[ToutSuite]

Not unlike life.
What does Jack Bauer have to do with this?
Why is he saying WOOT in the last panel?

[Lunch of Kong]

Because Tom's acting career in various television productions, the Jack Bauer Power Hour, and the exclamation "WOOT!" comprise some of the QT3 forum topics that we old farts find endearing.

In other words, they're all inside jokes.

[Squirrel Killer]

I looked inside and all I saw was a void.

[Brad Grenz]

It was obviously typecast.

Semi-colon. Right parenthesis.

I think I read Tom use to write for gay magazines, so it seems totally natural.

[Steve Canyon]

I think I read Tom use to write for gay magazines, so it seems totally natural.

Another lame CGW joke. Am I right? Where is Steve.

[Albert Woo]

It's another Shoot Club (http://www.quartertothree.com/columns/shoot_club/shoot_club_13a.shtml) reference.

[Matthew Gallant]

So I watched the episode last night, and I have to say, Oscar's not that much of a big guy. I mean, he's got broad shoulders, good for snatching up I guess, but "big"? I think Brad was exaggerating.

[Union Carbide]

I don't think "big," in this context, means what you think it does.

[MyNameIsWill]

Thanks for the visual.

Endearing... but not actually funny, right?

[Mark Asher]

I didn't see this - never seen the Office, actually. Did Tom kiss his boyfriend on the show. That would be worth a download. Heh.

[Angie Gallant]

I thought that was cute, and not just because I love dudes being affectionate.

But partly because of it.

[Lunch of Kong]

but not actually funny, right?

Right. It wasn't for you.

[TomChick]

I thought that was great and I don't even watch 24.

-Tom

P.S. Mark, you should totally see Brokeback Mountain.

[Matthew Gallant]

A man who sold gay porn to Charles Nelson Reilly has no pressing need to see Brokeback Mountain.

[Ex-S Woo]

Well Tom, congrats on the Yahoo Podcast gig :)

[Jason McMaster]

How the hell did I miss that?

[Joel]

Tom's silence in this thread is deafening.

I could make a post on my blog...

[Igor Muravyev]

So what's the url to Tom's podcast, and is it any good?

[TomChick]

There is no such beast.

-Tom

P.S. Yet.

[mtkafka]

Hey Gil, er i mean Tom, are you doing any more episodes of The Office? Would be cool to see Tom with Steve Carrell at the Office... hitting on him!

This shows hilarious!

etc

[Backov]

So you left the Brad Wardell show for a non-existent Yahoo podcast?

Listening to the recent shows, very good move.
