We're a geek culture podcast and blog covering video games, music, food and more. We are the kinds of people who evangelize whatever we are into - it could be anything - but it's usually pretty geeky. We're casual, conversational, NSFW and hopefully interesting. We hope you enjoy it.

Title: Decal Girl Console Skins
Publisher: Decalgirl.com
Writer: Frodo
Overview: So you’re a console gamer, and you see all your PC gamer friends with their fancy case mods and you want to join the party. Spray painting your Gamecube doesn’t seem like a very smart idea, and there’s really no way to put a window in it, so what do you do? Bumper stickers? Decal Girl has high quality vinyl decals for your systems, including gamecube, xbox, ps2, slim ps2, gba sp, Nintendo ds, and even iPod, iPod mini and the new iPod shuffle.

Review: Amplitude (PS2)

System: PS2
Title: Amplitude
Publisher: Sony
Writer: Frodo
Overview: Based on the hit ps2 rhythm game Frequency, Amplitude is more than a pure sequel. Amplitude features a very unique style of gameplay, as you fly through songs, playing different instruments depending on what buttons you press in time to the music. As a rhythm game it is very innovative, and just happens to be fun too. Featuring tons of songs from actual artists like David Bowie, Freezepop, Blink 182, Weezer and more, Amplitude is a fun and exciting game you might have missed the first time around.

Review: Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal (PS2)

System: PS2
Title: Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal
Publisher: Insomniac Games
Writer: Frodo
Overview: Released last November, the third game in the Ratchet and Clank series features the Lombax Ratchet and the robot Clank facing off against Dr. Nefarious and the evil Tyhrranoids. It has taken me this long to write a review because I can’t stop playing this game. Ratchet and Clank is a series that focuses on combat platforming. Sound strange? It’s actually an interesting hybrid of the classic Rare Banjo and Kazooie style platformer with a more gun focused FPS. Think Jet Force Gemini, or a good version of Starfox Assault’s foot missions. There is a single player mode familiar to fans of the previous games, and an all new multiplayer mode that can be played online with up to players.

Review: Splinter Cell Chaos Theory (Xbox)

Review: Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory by Ubisoft for Xbox.
Reviewed by: The Geek
Overview: Even if you haven't played the Splinter Cell series before (like me) chances are you still probably know about it. You are Sam Fisher, a super-sneaky spy who sneaks around doing secret spy stuff. Terrorists are using advanced computer equipment and programs to wage a war by crashing the stock market and stealing missle launch codes. As a Splinter Cell, you prefer the old fashioned way: shoot 'em, knife 'em, or snap their necks. It's a pretty basic concept but a very complicated game. An extremely high level of detail and realism really creates a deeply immersive game.
