Epic Fail - Your Spokesperson for Dungeons and Dragons is?

Pig and Mooch Epic Fail Podcast #1

Your Spokesperson for Dungeons and Dragon is?

As The Pig and Mooch set up for the 1st Epic Fail (I’m sure they will have many more) Podcast our nerd minds got to thinking – If you had your choice, who do you name as the Spokesperson for Dungeons and Dragons?

While discussing this classic Role playing juggernaut, Mooch and Pig were trying to figure out who would be the person to represent the Dungeons and Dragons community. We could all piss and moan about the job that Wizards of the Coast does, from adding upgrades for 4th edition to altering the premise for the sake of making more money. We are role players…we are broke…we hunt for the latest Star Wars figures at 10am at Toys r Us…BUT, we need a voice and well, a face. Who is your choice?

Vin Diesel made his nerdness known over the summer, but is he our best candidate? Fast, Furious and a d20? Come on gamers….we want to know who is your choice…message us on FB, Twitter or by email – RobDimension@msn.com

Pig and Mooch Podcast - "Epic Fail" launches in January

Pig and Mooch Podcast - "Epic Fail" launches in January

Is it possible to self promote yourself anymore? Can Mooch (played by Rob Dimension) and Pigamortis (voiced by Sal Valente) whore themselves in any other forms of media? With NecroCOMICon TV getting ready to launch, the duo is under the impression that people want to hear more from them….well; maybe they are on to something......Enter - EPIC FAIL

What on Earth would a Mooch and Pig even discuss on EPIC FAIL?

They are glad you asked:

• Movie reviews – All kinds of Films (let them watch and review your film)

• Gaming – aspects of Gaming (from Dungeons & Dragons to Collectible Card games, even Video Games)

• Comics – from what titles they like and what they don’t like

• Opinions on Life – wow…really? We recommend not taking their Life lessons into consideration

• War on Words – known as part-time Cyber Bullies.... what will happen when they vent and let loose?

Dimension had this to say “It’s basically Nerd talk 101, except we are full of shit. Like all nerds, we are under the belief that our opinion matters, when in fact…it doesn’t. "We find some things funny, that others don’t…..so I am expecting a Train wreck”, Valente quickly added.

Kim Dimension who is a new character, Demonica on the NecroCOMICon show, added “Their sense of humor is warped and twisted. They have no filter.” “They enjoy pushing the envelope when they can. This will give people a better idea of what we (Kim and I) have to deal with when shooting the Tv/Web series" says Alicia Still, who works on production and helps with publicity.

When asking Valente on format for the podcast, we were greeted with this answer “We don’t really have a format, we are just gonna ramble and see what comes out”. Sounds like a well laid out plan…..ummm, not really. Look for this Train wreck available on www.NecroCOMIContv.com starting in January.
