FDO™ a guest on Internet Superstar

interview on Internet Superstar

I have pulled yet another coup, landing some sweet, high-quality video that I didn't have to produce. Again. Yes, I'm impressed with myself, but what's new?

I look particularly corpse-like in this one. I also sound like a moron in several places. Go ahead, Junkies, have a laugh at my expense. Internet Superstar is a show on Revision 3, home of EPIC-FU and DIGGNation. Hosted by the high-energy Martin Sargent, this show covers -- you guesssed it, the "internet famous." 

There is a ton of graphics work on this, they did a great job on the interview and it moves really fast. Check it out.

Great

Wow! Great to see you Scott! Nice promo for Infected as well.

Damned slick interview.

About the height thing: the photo in the site sidebar is a good angle...makes you look tall. I didn't buy the 6'10" thing, though.

Hell, I'm only 5'10" and I have a voice that *seriously* projects. :D

-1 is the square root of all evil.

Isn't it just like a true superstar

to try to make the host of the show look good? I could clearly tell that the FDOs chair was actually several feet behind "Mr" Sargents, making the host appear to be of a larger stature. Humility and graciousness are but two of the qualities that make Scott Sigler what he is.  

 

"I thought, therefore, I was."


Great Interview!

Yeah, you did look short, but I noticed that the host's chair was higher. But the interview was great! I have read The Heart Shaped Box and enjoyed it, but prefer the science-based material that I get as a Sigler junkie. It's scarier and a little more believable.

Loved your interview

It was a very good interview. Very informative and lots of picture references. Nice job. You looked smaller than I had expected because you have such a big voice on the podcasts (just an observation, not a criticism). My mom always told me that good things come in small packages, and so does dynamite. :-)

Flattery will get you everywhere ...

It's true. My overly inflated ego is notably succeptible to pandering.

It's funny, I didn't think anyone believed the 6-foot-10 thing. Martin put his chair on a riser, for crying out loud! As if I needed any assistance in looking short ...


Wow, the FDO is kinda

Wow, the FDO is kinda interesting on TV.  So, when Contagious is a best seller next January, is this practice for your time on the Today show, next to Stephen King as he passes the baton?

He's giving it to his boy ...

If you guys haven't seen the media manipulation by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son), then you have missed there is a direct and concerted effort to make this guy the new king of horror. Joe wrote a book of short stories because he "wanted to make it on his own name," and then, ooops, four months before his first novel HEART-SHAPED BOX came out Vanity Fair "broke" the story that he is King's son. Insert deluge of massive media exposure here. It's pretty comical, considering that Joe's author photos look exactly like King's from the 80s (shag hair, beard, glasses, etc.), and that King managed to keep a pen name (Richard Bachman) a secret when he was the most popular author the world had ever known. And four months just happens to be the advance time magazines require to write about a new book ... meaning all other magazines had just enough time to ramp up stories and reviews of their own. 

I hear HEART-SHAPED BOX is pretty damn good, and from what I've seen of Joe he seems like a really cool guy, but I can't bring myself to read the book. Some of us work our asses off for years to develop a following and get exposure -- the FDO™ is pretty much pissed-off by the Silver Spoon crowd that get success handed to them on a giant platter by Mommy Author or Daddy Author.

An interview full of the awesomefullness known as Scott Sigler! Excellent, excellent content. Thanks for posting it on the site. How were the Beck's?

“Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.”


awesome

You done good, Scott, loved the show and how they added extra content. So you're a king at Crown? That rocks. My copy of Infected rests near my chair, waiting for me to get up the nerve to finish reading it. I'm just not ready to give up sleeping.

you know

the infectd trailer look even cooler when it's bigger. 

BTW I lol'd when I saw the photo of scott at his booksigning. I actually "rewound" (or whatever the past tense of rewind is) and to hit pause and take a closer look. he looks like someone flashed him. LOL again.

Cool interview though. it was actually educational...

[1st Dutch junkie] All that matters is getting my fix.


Great interview Scott!

I think you have the skin complexion of somebody who spends to much time in a closet ;)

Forgot just how cool the trailer for Infected was. Planning anything similar for Contagious?

kill columbo ...


LOL...Martin Sargent?!?

DystopianDream's picture

Just got done watching the interview. It was nice to get some insite on your rise to power, Scott.

 

BTW...I didn't know Martin Sargent had his own internet show. LOL, I remember when he was on TechTV back in the day. He always looked like he was on hardcore drugs, or something.

Wink


Back in the day?

sMUTgREMLIN's picture

He looks like hes on some awesome shit right now! (look at his crazy eyes) lol Gosh I miss Tech TV ( its just not the same nowadays)

Yeah, TechTv (G4 TV) has turned into another MTV/VH1 clone. The only "tech" show that I really like is X-Play...and that just because of Morgan Webb. I remember that they had Martin Sargent on the Screen Savers program for a short time, but I don't think the others got along with him very well. In one episode he got into it with Patrick Norton on screen, and I thought that was the funniest episode ever! I don't think Martin and Patrick got along very well.

Took a shot at finding you at Dragon*Con but missed.  Maybe next year.  Really cool to see you here.  It's always fun to put a face with the voices in my head.  And as usual you lied to the Junkies.  I didn't catch you being a moron once.  Of course, it's late and I'm  tired.  Very nice piece.  But shouldn't you have killed the host at the end?

It rocks...of course

Wow, the FDO is so photogenic.

It's all camera tricks ...

scottsigler's picture
Revision3 producers used the "looks like a slice of tainted buffalo ass" filter when they did the closeups on me. Thanks a lot, guys ...

lol it that a standard filter?

sMUTgREMLIN's picture

or did they code a new filter just to make the FDO look his best? (the penalties for not doing so bieng truely horrific)? 

nice job Scott, the New World Order is gaining momentum!

Assassins do it from behind


You can't make a diamond out of poop ...

scottsigler's picture
... no matter how much you compress it. There is only so much you can do with my mug. Filters, photoshop, trick lighting, there's just no making the Walking Cadaver look pretty.

I don't see a cadaver...

amaster's picture

...maybe somebody just a funeral away from being one.  Believe me, I'm a college student and sometimes have a look just like that in the mornings.  I also believe that you lied about being a moron.  There is nothing but pure FDOness in this video.

I dunno Scott

Remember "Elvira"? Maybe if you photoshopped some bodacious tatas in there, you would look..... Oh, never mind! 

 

"+5 for me"
