The Geekbox: Episode 36

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, TVOctober 22nd, 2009 @ 6:43 am

The GeekboxAnthony Gallegos is on this week, and so continues the constant cross-pollination of fellow Hammersuit personalities. Ryan Higgins begins with his experience at Star Wars: In Concert. After a bit of movie talk, the group moves onto Borderlands where Anthony reveals that he will probably be giving it a 4/5 star review on GameSpy. This leads into a more general MMO discussion and Anthony sharing some EverQuest memories.

TV talk starts with the lamenting of the death of wrestler and Mario TV show star, Lou Albano. Venture Borthers gets some love and has everyone talking about some of their favorite Adult Swim shows in recent memory.

Tropico 3 kicks off the games discussion and it reveals the true, insidious natures of Anthony and Ryan Scott. The game is a political, empire management sim set in a banana republic during the Cold War, so there is a lot of dictating involved. Anthony apparently has a proclivity to human slave trading in games. The cast ends on word of the first Geekbox Halloween costume contest. No Fitch this week, so expect some date updates next week.

Wherein we discuss dear frenemies, the fate of airplane lavatories, Star Wars in Concert, the history of Steve Guttenberg, Tekken 6, Borderlands, EverQuest (WTF?), the Persona MMO, aaaaanime, the life and times of Captain Lou Albano, the wonky west coast premiere of Venture Bros. season 4, all things Cartoon Network, Tropico 3, our first (annual?) Halloween costume contest, and whether the Geekbox gives AIDS. Starring Ryan Scott, Karen Chu, Mike Cruz, Anthony Gallegos, and Ryan Higgins.

Runtime – 1:20:29
