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.

    Podcastiversary Contest!

    podcasttriviacontest.jpg

    It's our two year anniversary, harkening back to the days of yore when we first started attaching mp3 files to an rss feed. Ahh, how time flies. To best celebrate our persistence on the Internets, we are having a HUGE CONTEST to giveaway a metric ass-load of the stuff that we picked up at PAX! The contest rules are simple: whoever can answer the most trivia questions about The Weekly Geek wins. Some of these questions are common knowledge about the show, and some require extensive research. Some may even require listening to old shows. Good thing they are so darned entertaining!

    All you have to do is send an email to contest@weeklygeekshow.com with your answers (some are fill in the blank)! Questions are after the jump. You have until September 16th to enter. Get to it!

    In case of a tie... well we'll have some sort of geek off.
