Podcast for 06.29.09 | Satisfaction
At what point does a game stop being fun and start being work? This week, Ross Rosenberg, Jinny, Ryan G Biv and I focus on the theme of satisfaction. What makes us continue playing a game even if it kicks our ass all over the room? Why do we persevere in the face of ridiculous difficulty and unfair game mechanics? We also touch on game and movie news, from the new Heavy Metal movie, to a Facebook movie, Miyazaki's new movie, a rumored PS3 operating system refresh, Nintendo's new auto-play help s...

Podcast for 06.22.09 | Go Ask Alice
Bringing you the week in geekery, it's Jinny, me and the super famous Ross Rosenberg. We talk about the new Tim Burton Alice in Wonderland remake, Fallout 3's new Point Lookout DLC, the iPhone 3GS and Ngmoco's new Plus+ network, a life-sized Gundam statue finally finished in Japan (and set to become our new overlord), Lord of the Rings coming to Blu-Ray, 1vs100 and how dirty Bob Saget is as a stand-up comedian, Pixar granting a dying girl's last wish... look, if I tell you that this podcast is e...

Podcast for 06.15.09 | ProtoFAMOUS
If you were on a deserted island and the only game you can bring with you is either Prototype or InFAMOUS, which would you bring? Why not let The Weekly Geek help you decide? In this week's podcast, we talk about the two very similar sandbox games and the pros and cons of each. We talk a bit about the Ghostbusters game coming out this week, more Metroid Other M details (or lack of details), Scribblenauts and its crazy database of functional imaginary objects, the devs of Darwinia+ opening all th...

Podcast for 06.08.09 | E3 2009 Wrap Up
It's been a looooong week full of news in the geeky realm, mostly coming out of the gaping maw of hell that is Los Angeles and E3. In this week's podcast we attempt to wrangle the rest of the E3 news we care about, most likely missing a massive amount of information in the meantime. There's just too much to fit into one podcast! Nintendo and Sony's press conferences are the focus, but we also talk about the glut of sequels (and why that may actually be a good thing), the WWDC Apple keynote and t...

Podcast for 06.01.09 | So It Begins
It's like geek Christmas. E3 is where all the good little gamer girls and boys get to learn about the games they're going to be dropping their hard earned cash on when the real Christmas comes along. Today marks the beginning of the biggest video game convention of the year, with the Microsoft press conference. They set the bar pretty high, and this week's podcast is devoted to all the crazy-ass stuff Microsoft showed off. We talk about Left 4 Dead 2, Crackdown 2, Metal Gear, the new motion cont...

Podcast for 05.25.09 | Sriracha
Beating the heat this week, Ryan, Jinny and Ross join me to talk about this week's news in the geek world. The Metroid Prime series gets ported to the Wii, Monkey Island is getting ported to the Xbox 360, V is getting remade for ABC and we rant a bit about the need to remake and repackage all of this media, just to sell it back to us in the end. There's a bit of food talk, a bit of movie talk and a lot of video game talk. You know. It's an episode of The Weekly Geek. Enjoy....

Podcast for 05.18.09 | Wherefore art thou geek?
What makes a geek truly a geek? Does the distinction between true and supposedly false geeks even matter? On this week's podcast we focus on geek culture and geek pride - delving into topics such as Star Trek canon (and if canon is even as important as geeks make it out to be), internet celebrities who call themselves geeks but probably aren't, and a small smattering of game news. Then it's on to what we're playing and mailbag as always, but this podcast has a lot of discussion about what makes...

We talk about how E3 is fast approaching and what games we're looking forward to seeing more about, the new Star Trek reboot and how the movie is awesome, Fallout 3's Broken Steel DLC, a new Weekly Geek editor is introduced, and Jinny and I talk about our recent trip to Disneyland and California Adventure, and the craziness of the new Toy Story ride.

Can you feel that tingle in the air? The excitement turns palpable as Jinny and Ryan's race to 9000 comes to a head - they're both at 8000+ and one of them is going to hit 9000 soon, but who? The super-famous Ross Rosenberg also joins us to talk about some video game news, Myst and Peggle on the iphone, PixelJunk Monsters on the PSP and a super nerdy (and possibly awesome) Lord of the Rings fan movie that definitely bears mentioning. Also this week we have a super special bonus, Mint.com CEO Aar...

What makes a hardcore gamer hardcore? Why does the hardcore gamer have a beef with the casual? Join me, Jinny and Ross this week as we tackle this debate of hardcore vs. casual, and the elitists therein. We also discuss how Peggle inside World of Warcraft is potentially a society-crashing invention, how LEGO Rock Band isn't solely a cash-in game, and much much more....
