The Geekbox

The Geekbox

The Geekbox was started shortly after the mass lay-offs at 1UP in January 09. In the wake of that huge change, Ryan Scott, who had been a regular on 1UP's GFW Radio until that point, decided to start his own podcast with some of his closest friends and thus The Geekbox was born. Comprised of topics ranging from comics, games, TV and movies the podcast really hits the geekiest topics around and never ceases to be funny, even if at times it is unintentional.

The Geekbox: Episode 55

March 3rd, 2010

Alice Liang joins the Geekbox since Karen is out this week and kicks things off by asking Higgins about Nick Simmons’ (son of Gene Simmons) blatant plagiarism of manga like “Bleach” in his personal comic book series, “Incarnate”.  Things move on to the weekly discussion of Lost, covering last week’s Jack-centric episode “The Lighthouse”.  Again, [...]

The Geekbox: Episode 54

February 24th, 2010

With the UGO redesign over and his vacation complete, Mike Cruz finally returns to the Geekbox to talk about… Old Spice commercials and green screening.  Fortunately, Burn Notice talk comes up next and Fitch deals some dirt on a potential steamy relationship with Michael Westen and a relatively new character.
Ryan Scott has been playing P.B. [...]

The Geekbox: Episode 53

February 18th, 2010

Karen and Mike may be out of town, but Roadie Brock is more than enough to fill both their shoes for this testosterone-laden Geekbox.  Right off the bat, the guys talk about the latest episode of Lost (What Kate Does), so look out for spoilers from 2:20 – 16:50.  Staying in the TV vein, Burn [...]

The Geekbox: Episode 52

February 11th, 2010

The Geekbox starts off with plenty of television talk, with Lost’s return, Burn Notice’s continuation, and Smallville’s newfound freshness.  If you’re particularly wary of spoilers and haven’t checked out the season premiere of Lost, skip 7:30 – 38:00.
Higgins has been playing some more Star Trek Online and it seems like Fitch might give it a [...]

The Geekbox: Episode 51

February 4th, 2010

The Geekbox comes early this week and Ryan Scott pledges that he’ll post the show every Tuesday to preempt each week’s episode of Lost.  Appropriately, the guys talk about a lot of television, covering the great return to form of Burn Notice and the four minute preview of the season premiere of Lost.
For once, the [...]

The Geekbox: Episode 50

January 28th, 2010

Patrick Joynt joins the Geekbox crew this week and clearly wants to talk some Avatar.  Unfortunately, there’s not much new to hear from the regulars, with Patrick and Karen mustering a small defense for the visual effects and characterization.
For those of you who are weary of Burn Notice spoilers, have no fear!  Patrick and Karen [...]

The Geekbox: Episode 49

January 25th, 2010

This week’s Geekbox gets to the meat right off the bat, pumping up the games conversation more than usual.  Higgins hunted down a nearby Del Taco for a Star Trek Online shuttle craft code and also threw $240 at a lifetime subscription, so you’re sure to hear more about the game in the coming weeks.  [...]

The Geekbox: Episode 48

January 16th, 2010

After a little bit of light talk about television, Ryan Higgins talks about his recent experiences with Demon’s Souls.  He’s been encountering the odd game design choices that people often complain about and it’s particularly interesting to hear a take on the game from someone who doesn’t play a wide variety of games.  Ultimately, he’s [...]

The Geekbox: Episode 47

January 9th, 2010

With Justin Haywald joining a slightly thinned Geekbox crew, Zelda: Spirit Tracks kicks off the episode.  Justin vents some of his frustration with the navigation of the game, namely riding the trains, which he determines is somehow worse than sailing in Phantom Hourglass.  He also says that the game is pretty difficult, ranking among the [...]

The Geekbox: Episode 45

December 26th, 2009

The Geekbox starts it off on a fairly “light” note this week, following up on the discussion of racism in Disney movies brought up last week.  Luckily, they move away from this touchy subject to talk about the new Games on Demand service offered by Games for Windows Live on PC.  Ryan Scott asks why [...]

The Geekbox: Episode 44

December 18th, 2009

The Geekbox is all over the map this week, with very little talk about video games in particular.  Karen gets into it the most with her discussion of Umloud 2009, which was a charity event for Child’s Play that took place in the past week.  Later on in the show, Mega Man 10 is briefly [...]

The Geekbox: Episode 43

December 11th, 2009

Guests Jade Kraus and Justin Haywald start off the show this week with a spirited discussion about Silent Hill: Shattered Memories for Wii. Despite having played through it multiple times, both Justin and Jade are thoroughly disappointed with the game. The graphics and presentation are some of the best on Wii but they cite bad [...]
