Rocketboom 2.0 Delayed, Fans Lash Out

Rocketboom fans have been hanging on for the next boom since Amanda Congdon's dramatic unbooming. The next incarnation is now two days late as the world awaits how the new hostess will handle her duties, and to see if Rocketboom 2.0 will reach liftoff. Andrew Baron did some fancy footwork in the aftermath of Congdon's surprise announcement that she was leaving the show to blog how much of the show's production sits squarely on his shoulders: Fact: Out of all the scripts in the history of Rocketboom Amanda has edited nearly every single one, but over 95% of the scripts on Rocketboom have been written by me. Fact: Over 95% of the directed episodes in the history of Rocketboom were directed by me. Fact: I created/incorporated and directed/developed many of the reoccurring conventions of the show such as the clicker, the head turns, the paper throws, the chair spins, etc. Fact: I have edited well over 50% of all of the episodes. Fact: I have Produced every single episode. Fact: I have Published every single episode. Fact: I have found/picked over 90% of all of the stories that we have ever used. What was Congdon doing as Baron boasted? She was being Endeavor. Tuesday morning yawned and opened its eyes to a Rocketboom was obviously very dependent on Amanda's role. Since she left so suddenly, I have tried to get the episodes up and running as soon as possible, though I am not comfortable with the way they are going yet. It's easy enough to recreate the same thing, the challenge here is to do the next. If you ever looked to the archives, you may have noticed that there is one episode that has always been missing: the first episode. There is a reason why. The first thought for some is that it is part of a larger publicity grab, but the web-opera has already attracted perhaps more publicity than Baron could have imagined. A delay at this point is just embarrassing, not suspense. And what of Joanne Colan? Very little so far. Colan has acknowledged her new position by setting up a your british ya know with amanda she is american so she can say what she wants but your a foreigner so your comments will just come off as elitist critisism that you have no place saying. oh and one last thing i hope you know that you may call yourself the hostess of RB but i think most everyone on the internet will agree with me that that title shall forever be amanda congdon's. Ouch. Good thing that comment was anonymous. A few tips: watch your homophones and run-ons; run a spell check; look into punctuation; and speak for yourself. British girls are sexy. The majority of the commentators thereafter were taken aback by those comments, and have at least wished the new host luck while promising to give her a chance to make her mark. | document.write("Email Murdok here.")
