The Geekbox: Episode 27

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc, Movies1009 days ago

G.I. Joe starts this one out with a luke-warm reception.  This leads into a discussion on ’80s cartoons and Mike flexes some serious ’80s nerd knowledge by recalling TigerSharks and SilverHawks. The topic of internet advertisements come up with Ryan mentioning the Evony ads that have been appearing on geekbox.net.  You may have seen them on CastMedium as well and they are egregiously sexualized for no apparent reason.  PopCap recently did a parody of these ads that features a “sexy” zombie lady. After Karen gives Civilization...

The Geekbox: Episode 26

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc1017 days ago

First up this week is a welcome to Mike Cruz as the new regular “special guest” of the podcast and an introduction to Ryan Higgin’s friends who have a band called “God of Shamisen.”  They are a rock group with a member who plays the traditional Japanese instrument, the shamisen, as the core of the group. MMOs get a whole lot of discussion time with Ryan Higgins talking about the new World of Warcraft patch that came out yesterday.  They then move onto the Matrix Online, which nobody played, and Karen shares some of...

The Geekbox: Episode 25

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc1023 days ago

The whole first part of this week’s Geekbox is interspersed with Karen’s fascination with a rather racy take on Alice in Wonderland extended fiction in comic form.  The world of comics is a crazy one, and this illustrates exactly why. Comic-Con gets the crew interested, but there is less actual comic book news coming out of the show every year.  The conversation quickly moves onto TV and then movies.  It sounds like Bruno entertained and Fitch has the best story to tell about his experience taking dates to both Bruno and Borat a few...

The Geekbox: Episode 24

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc1030 days ago

It is a bit of a subdued episode this week without Karen and Greg to mix it up, but Jade Kraus and Justin Haywald from 1UP are on to round out the group.  As usual, Burn Notice starts off the discussion, but Jade and Justin are not followers, so things aren’t too lively. Justin hints at the fact that he has been playing the sequel to Professor Layton and the series sounds to only be getting better.  The first game got a lot of press coverage and was pushed pretty hard by Nintendo, but not everyone has played it.  Now may be a great time...

The Geekbox: Episode 23

by Jonathan Downin in Games1038 days ago

All episodes of The Geekbox should start out with Fitch spilling details about a date, just as he does here.  It sounds like we may be in for a string a somewhat successful Fitch Hitch stories.  His first dinner date was successful and he is getting ready for date #2 in which he will be going to the girl’s house.  The anticipation is thick. Comic book and movie news is a big topic this week.  The casting of Ryan Renolds as Green Lantern has comic book fans excited, but generally not in a good way. Karen and Ryan Scott gave the first Tales...

The Geekbox: Episode 21

by Jonathan Downin in Misc, Movies, TV1053 days ago

This week’s episode is a great one.  With Fitch gone, the crew has launched a campaign to get him a date.  If you are an eligible woman over 25 send your submission in to winadatewithfitch at geekbox.net.  This is going to be good. Special guests from the old 1UP days, Tom Edwards and Susie Ochs, are on the show so you can expect a lot of reminiscing.  There are some fun stories here. On a side note, Tom mentions the Korean film Oldboy.  If you haven’t seen it, and aren’t too easily disturbed, this is a movie you must watch. No...

The Geekbox: Episode 20

by Jonathan Downin in Games, Misc1058 days ago

Starting this one is some TV talk as per usual, but Ryan reveals that in addition to Burn Notice, he has also been watching Jon and Kate Plus 8.  Things take a turn for the weirder when the crew gets into a little bit of Mario fan fiction creation though. There is a big discussion about games journalism in the middle here where the group talks about what gives one person more credibility than someone else.  Greg takes the chance to tell people to write for Bitmob if they want to break into the industry. Karen is getting her driver’s license...

The Geekbox: Episode 19

by Jonathan Downin in Games1066 days ago

Why must Nintendo pu out games that make us have to buy a Wii?  There aren’t that many amazing games on the Wii, but there are those games that are just good enough to make the system almost worth a purchase. The recent changes in the World of Warcraft progression has Karen upset.  The point is introduced by Karen talking about the iPhone 3GS.  Oh how the opinions change.  Has WoW finally started its decline? The topic of people coming up to the Geekbox crew at conventions as if they know them comes up.  Almost all of us surely don’t...

The Geekbox: Episode 6

by Jonathan Downin in Games1177 days ago

Ryan Scott want to be a professional blackjack player and he’s got the spreadsheets to back it up.  Yet another reason this is the most aptly named podcast around. Finally a discussion on Street Fighter IV that isn’t all praise.  The crew here has some problems with the roster.  They are definitely not a fan of Dan or Seth.  They have a few things to say about other fighting games as well. More Lost insights here.  That show is really moving along at this point so if you were into it in previous seasons but got bored with it, now...
