And now, the moment you've all been waiting for, part two of the iFanboy 2006 All Media Year End Roundup where we finish discussing everything we enjoyed in 2006 from movies, to TV, to IPTV, to music and of course, comics. As a continued added bonus, comments are open for you to discuss what your 2006 picks were. Enjoy!

Running Time: 00:53:49

IPTV:

00:00:46 - We talk about the big year in IPTV, and Ron watches a whole lot of web video content, such as DL.tv, InDigital, and CommandN.

00:02:15 - We're also watching comedies such as Ask a Ninja, French Maid TV, Tiki Bar TV, and our collective favorite, The Show with ZeFrank. And we all watch it in a different way.

Music:

00:05:30 - Last year we talked about video games, but this year, we're off World of Warcraft, so Ron comes in with his ten favorite records of the year, and we talk about all the different ways we have to get it.

00:07:45 - Ron likes the Fleeting Joys, with their album "Despondent Transponder."

00:08:12 - "Paper Television" by The Blow

00:08:41 - "Begin to Hope" by Regina Spektor

00:09:11 - M. Ward - "Post War" - from the Dude!

00:09:27 - "Bring it Back" by Mates of State. And Josh saw them live, and really dug it.

00:10:10 - Apparently, Ron liked Morrissey's newest album, "Ringleader of the Tormentors".

00:10:23 - "Separate Ways" by Teddy Thompson

00:10:42 - "The Life Pursuit" by Belle and Sebastian

00:11:01 - He loved the movie, and he loves the soundtrack to Stranger Than Fiction.

00:11:39 - And just for the name, the final album is: I Love You But I've Chosen Darkness, with "Fear is on Our Side".

00:13:03 - Josh's favorite song of the year: "Cowboys are Secretly Frequently Fond of Each Other" by Willie Nelson.

00:13:40 - Conor and Ron found resplendent joy at the reunion show for Texas is the Reason.

Comics:

00:16:00 - We enter our comfort zone, and talk comics. Oh that's a nice fit. Was it a big year for comics, or just a big year in comics for us?

00:19:08 - One of the best books of the year, without a doubt, is Daredevil.

00:21:44 - We wrap up The Escapists, and we'll try not to mention it again. We just loved it so!

00:22:23 - The book we were really happy to fall in love with this year was Peter David's X-Factor.

00:25:18 - The Year of the Event!

00:26:07 - DC was event-tastic this year. Ron still doesn't think One Year Later was good. Josh and Conor do not agree. And of course that leads to 52.

00:31:13 - iFanboy are in agreement that Civil War started off great, but we're all ready for it to be done with.

00:33:33 - Jim Lee is too pre-occupied to do a good relaunch of the Wildstorm Universe.

00:35:44 - We're absolutely adoring Absolute editions.

00:37:35 - Best Creators of the year? Brubaker and Brian K. Vaughan.

00:44:22 - We are in the era of the writer. Does the artist matter like he used to?

00:48:08 - Best comic stuff of the year? The Scott Pilgrim Phenomenon? Pride of Baghdad, the resurgence of the Bat Family? San Diego Comic-Con? Comics podcasts?
