IN THIS EPISODE: 38 MINUTES OF NEW STORY
The fight aboard the Jeremiah O'Brien continues. The explosion of Dragonbreath is the visual cue that ties our storylines together -- Bryan, Pookie, Dimitri, Lanza, Firstborn, Rex and Sly.  Bryan is badly wounded, but he fights on, hoping that if he can't kill Rex, at least he can distract the Nocturnals long enough for Pookie to find Chief Zou's daughters. But Pookie has his hands full down below, going face-to-face with the deadly, dog-faced Pierre. The Huey full of gunmen closes in, just as Nick Murray delivers his bag o' guns to Dimitri. It's party time ...

My Only Regret

dirkdigler's picture

FDO, you definitely have talent man, my only regret is that you're going to get super famous and will no longer provide free? (ruserious) material to your junkies, it's a fact bro once you get big the suits are going to take over it's inevitable.  So we junkies will enjoy it while it lasts!!!

Symptoms begin with itching and small rashes...


You so crazy ...

scottsigler's picture

Dirk, I'll fogive you because you must be new here. Normally, words of such insult would result in your elimination. However, being a new Junkie, you get a free pass. No one comes between the FDO™ and his free content. No one. The Junkies come first -- if you guys want to buy my products, that's up to you. If you want to listen for free, that's up to you. If you want to do both, same deal.

It's a mixed bag out there. Some people only listen, some people don't listen at all, and quite frankly, right now some people can't afford  to drop $17 on a hardcover. It all comes back to me in the end, because if you're one of those people who is only listening (for whatever reason,) hopefully you're so fucking entertained that you can't stop talking about the greatness of the Chosen One. You run at the mouth, spreading the Gospel of Siglerism, and even though you might be getting your fix for free you drive two, three, maybe even four people to go buy the damn thing (because they don't want to mess with that silly "podcasting" stuff.)

 

Trust me, in three years, all the major players will be doin' like I do. It's how I roll, so quit worrying about it and enjoy yourself already.


Oh, wow, Dude!!

WOOF, WOOF


I'll let the FDO do the formal response, but this is my take.

SynapticJam's picture

As a humble junkie...   Scott has made it abundantly clear in all of his dealings with the publishing industry that this is is business model.  It's what's gotten him this far, and it's what will carry him into the future.  It's non-traditional, that much is true, but he's proven the viability of this model and he's sticking with it.  There's a reason we're still getting free content even though he's got a major multiple book deal with a major publisher like crown.  He insisted on building it into the contract and it's a trend he's committed to continuing.  When it comes to printed content, it gets a bit murkier, as the publishing company has a larger say, but even with infected he was able to swing a pdf...

Alright... I admit it... it rocked.... although...

SynapticJam's picture

yeah, brian is a badass, we know that, but he just appears to be a badass because he can take a lot of punishment.  he's spent quite a bit of time getting his ass whipped lately.  lucky shots aside...  He's got to stand tall and kick some ass.  You wouldn't see Jebediah actin' all pussy like and crawling away....

GReat episode, I can't wait for more. 2 more episodes

Chasity, do not put that in your mouth!


I don't want it to end.

Nocturnal just keeps getting better and better. I don't want it to end.

FDO In The News?

BukaHobbit's picture

Personally I think that this story is about the FDO.  He was just demonstrating his manly prowess to the Poor, defenseless rhino.


More more more!

SmileyNi's picture

But wait there's more, yay!

While I sympathize with the timeline + 7p.o.v. challenge our FDO is facing, secretly I'm thrilled it's not over yet!


love this, hate that it will end... or will it?

Hope the caos continues, it will be even better. With all those Nocturnals out there, I want more, more,more.

For the Dead Space review...

jtmanis's picture
You said it was a FIRST person shooter, right? It's definitely a third person shooter.

Third person?

scottsigler's picture
Because you can see the guy, it's third-person? So an FPS is only if you are seeing through the guy's eyes?

It's an easy mistake

Chasity, do not put that in your mouth!


It's all a matter of Perspective ...and Detroit Loins

Wiffyjustus's picture

It is all about perspective.

  • First Person Perspective - Through the eyes of the Hero (Call of Duty, Halo)
  • Third Person Perspective - Through the eyes of an observer. You are watching and can see the hero blowing up the baddies. (Gears of War)

It can get confusing because in both perspectives you are still controlling the same person. The difference is you are simply viewing them from a different perspective.

You've got the same kind of perspective stuff in writing so you would know all about that stuff anyway.

Umm...

It appears I just spoke to you as if you didn't know what perspective was. Please don't kill me yet. Please don't send those Detroit Lions around and make me laugh to death.

Is it the Detroit Lions or... the Detroit Loins?

:) Please don't kill me. 

Sigler puts the MEAN in meanwhile.


Correct.

jtmanis's picture
Correct.

GOOD JOB!

Rex needs to get that Rolex checked. 

No shit!

scottsigler's picture
Yeah, I've got a lot of work to do with the timeline of the ending. This is proving to be one of the biggest writing challenges I've ever faced, conveying seven different points of view for things that are supposed to be happening simultaneously. Normally, all of this would be worked out in drafts three and four, but you guys are getting a first-draft here. I will have it all tied up for the print version, I assure you. I already know there are significant plot changes for the print version -- I'm ain't saying people who live through the podcast will die in the book, but I ain't saying that won't happen, either ...

Still doing good

arimus25's picture
Besides a couple of continuity probs, I think you are doing a good job with all of these POV's.

where is it?

darksoul25's picture
i checked itunes and it is not on there and it is not on podiobooks so where is it?  for what ever reason my computer will not download it from this site and i really really need it asap.  it has been a BAD week and i would really like to just sit and listen and i can't find it!  HELP!

Podiobooks

KristynaMae's picture
I got it off of podiobooks last night, so you should be able to find it there now.

Might have to get it from the site ...

scottsigler's picture
I posted CONTAGIOUS #1 and NOCTURNAL #38 very close together, and that's causing some problems for people's podcatchers. Not everyone, though, just a few isolated events. Has it downloaded for you yet?

thanks

darksoul25's picture
it came in! listened to it last night and it was fuckin awesome.  i don't want it to end but can't wait for the next episode!

Damn...

Sparking bullets

Scott, you seem to put an almost fetishistic level of detail into your descriptions of guns, so I figure you know a bit about them. But bullets wouldn't spark when they hit either the ship's deck or the Huey's body. It's a Hollywood visual effect - so why put it in print?

I know nuth-ink!

scottsigler's picture
Dude, I actually know jack shit about guns. I have relied heavily on my military, police and hunting Junkies to correct me where I fuck up. Bullets don't spark off of helicopters? But I've seen it on TV, dammit! Sigh ... fine, I will fix in the print version.

JOY!

Sister_Lil_Bunny's picture
And here I thought you guys were kidding with the withdrawl symptoms.  This made my day!! 

Nocturnal Junkie?

I don't know how this happened.  I was just having fun, but now it's serious.   Knowing that my IPOD had Episode #38 in it's guts, All day at work I could not wait until I could get home to listen too, too.. my fix?  Like I said; when did this happened, how could I have fallen victim.  I've gotten off track.  When I got home this evening I ran into my house, past my wife wanting to talk about her day at work.  All I could think of was getting my IPOD into my dock in my bedroom to listen, or get my fix!?  Pulling off my boots, stopping at the kitchen to grab a beer.  My dogs ran in fear as I let out a curse as I stubbed my toe, honest to God I lost a toenail.  

I once was a normal guy.  I would sneer as Scott talk about "The Junkies".  God how did this happen to me?  Could it be, NO how could be that I'm have turned into a Junkie.  I always heard of these things, but I never thought it would happen to me.  Now, NOW I need Episode #39.  Damn I lost a toenail.

You Never Realize...

BukaHobbit's picture
You never realize you are a Junkie until your next fix is late. Welcome to the mob.

Sorry Dave

Wolf's picture

It happened the very first time you slipped on your headphones and hit play on your first hit of Siglerism. You've been his ever since.

Thank you FDO!

wyrdwyrd's picture

Well, the episode is excellent, of course.  And you are evil, of course, for dragging it out so long.  :-) I do have a question about Mr. Rex though.  At the beginning of the story, this kid was being beat up by random thug-types.  Now, here he is jumping tall buildings with a single bound.  How is it that he was a sniveling wretch getting all beaten up at the beginning, but now he's kickin' butt like nobody's business?

 

Furry cows moo and decompress.

 


You will find out later ....

scottsigler's picture
I'm not saying there's a sequel, I'm just sayin' there's a lot of 'splainin to do ...

Monday Bloody monday
