The Geekbox treads familiar ground this week starting off with New Super Mario Bros. Wii.  Karen and Patrick have been playing the game co-op and have a couple stories to tell about Coin Battle mode.  Patrick has been playing Modern Warfare 2 and is a big fan of Infinity Ward.  Where Call of Duty 4 might have been described as a rollercoaster, Patrick describes the sequel as a theme park where there are concurrent rollercoasters with a shoestring narrative.

Ryan Scott got a chance to check out Boondock Saints 2 and he enjoyed it about as much as he did the first film.  They also talk about the cancellation of Dollhouse, which leads Higgins to ask why Whedon doesn’t just turn to a smaller network.

The podcast wraps up with the announcement of a reunion of the folks from the Legendary Thread 1UP podcast, so keep your ears at the Geekbox for more details in the future.

Wherein we discuss the return of our most polarizing guest host, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Modern Warfare 2, Dragon Age: Origins, really nerdy Magic: The Gathering rules arguments (we apologize in advance), The Boondock Saints II, really bad tattoos, the impending end of Dollhouse (but hopefully not Joss Whedon’s crazy career), the evil side of Alton Brown, and the upcoming Legendary Thread reunion. Starring Ryan Scott, Karen Chu, Andrew Fitch, Ryan Higgins, and Patrick Joynt.

Runtime – 57:04
