by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, TV540 days ago

This weeks episode starts out with some big news. Andrew ‘Fitch Hitch’ Fitch is leaving the show for a while. This will be his last show since he is heading out of state for a new job. Ryan S. saw The Expendables and had a good time with it. He also brings up an article he found talking a about the casting of a non-existant all-female version of the film. Burn Notice and the news of a few new horror movies also get some time. Fitch has been playing Madden 11, and while he feels like it has made steps towards being more accessible, he...

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, TV546 days ago

This week starts with Ryan Scott mentioning the recent redesign of the Geekbox website. Ryan then goes on to say he has finally gotten into Geometry Wars 2, and he is one of the lone positive voices praising Castlevania: Harmony of Despair. Ryan Higgins is still waiting on his DC Universe Online beta invite, and in the mean time, has been toying with the idea of getting into Eve Online.

The Geekbox: Episode 75

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Movies, TV570 days ago

It’s a straightforward episode this week with just a few topics covered– most of which has Fitch upset about something. Burn Notice talk leads into a discussion about the Simpsons with Higgins arguing the quality of the whole series while Fitch outlines his approach to milked franchises and why singular good episodes can’t even be acknowledged. The group also touches on Final Fantasy XIII and IV,with Higgins calling the beta of the latter almost unplayable due to its archaic MMO mechanics. The last 30 minutes is nothing but Inception...

The Geekbox: Episode 69

by Jonathan Downin in Games, TV610 days ago

The cast kicks off with some Team Fortress talk, and then Fitch gets into just a few scant details surrounding his current dating situation. After a quick Burn Notice update the guys get into E3 and what they are looking forward to. Ryan Scott stresses that it is not as fun as it may seem to attend the Expo and Ryan Higgins give some insight into what the press conferences are like for the “layman.” The crew hits on Lord of the Rings Online going free to play and what this...

The Geekbox: Episode 61

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, TV668 days ago

At the top of this week’s show, Karen talks a little bit about a podcast she’s recently started listening to, Jordan Jesse Go, and the strange debacle with Penny Arcade’s Mike and Jerry that earned a lot of frustration in the podcasting community. On a completely unrelated note, Ryan talks a little bit about his recent viewing of Clash of the Titans, which he essentially boils down to a series of ridiculous setpieces designed to be chopped up for a sweet trailer. The recent trailers for The Losers and The A-Team inspires a little...

The Geekbox: Episode 55

by Jon Cole in Games, TV710 days ago

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, if you have some catching up to do on the series, check out the spoiler timestamps at the bottom of this post. Video games come up next, with some discussion...

The Geekbox: Episode 54

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, TV716 days ago

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. Winterbottom, a highly stylized puzzle game that is built upon time-shifting mechanics reminiscent of Braid. Running on Xbox Live for only 800 points, Ryan thinks the game is worth far more than that...

The Geekbox: Episode 53

by Jon Cole in Games, Movies, TV723 days ago

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 Notice continues to be entertaining though might have some bromantic undertones that make Fitch a little bit uncomfortable. Again, if you’re wary of spoilers, skip 17:00 – 21:00. Games talk is unsurprisingly capitalized by World of Warcraft,...

The Geekbox: Episode 52

by Jon Cole in Games, TV729 days ago

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 go, after the idea of playing as a Ferengi piqued his interest. Bioshock 2′s release captured Karen’s attention, driving her to go to a launch party. Unfortunately, nobody else...

The Geekbox: Episode 51

by Jon Cole in Games, TV736 days ago

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 Geekbox crew is on the edge of games coverage, with Karen playing a little bit of Mass Effect 2. Unfortunately, she hasn’t had much time to play the game, but she seems mostly interested in the plot and apprehensive about the...

The Geekbox: Episode 50

by Jon Cole in Games, TV743 days ago

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 didn’t get a chance to check out the latest episode, so both Ryans and Fitch try to talk around the plot. In other television news, Lost premiers next week, so Ryan Scott tosses out some major questions that he’d...

The Geekbox: Episode 49

by Jon Cole in Games, TV747 days ago

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. Karen got a chance to check out the game, expressing a little bit of frustration with the space combat, which could be attributed to her inability to drive. Karen has also been “playing” Wii Sports Active, which scratches her...
