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.

Qais, Chris and Colette are here to give you awkward nicknames, talking about mainstream media's view of gaming, proper parenting, and the NPD video game industry sales numbers asking the time-honored question: why is the PS2 still selling so well? A contest is also announced, so be sure to stay tuned until the end of the podcast! Or, you know. Fast forward to the end to get the meaty details. So meaty.

    Jamie Oliver is a chef who did a documentary, Jamie's TV Dinners which showed how badly lots of children eat at school. In this documentary he started improving the diet of the kids and some of the parents reacted to him trying to feed them vegetables by going and buying Mc Donalds or bags of chips (French [Freedom!] Fries) and shoving them through the railings (bars) of the school to their kids so they wouldn't suffer eating a courgette (zucchini).

    Basically her outburst is a very middle class aimed english thing. The documentary itself is actually worth watching, even if it is a bit preachy.

    just so you know (not in a asshole way)
    "Dave" is a channel which has a lot of "Witty Banter", but some of the more proper people on this side of the pond consider trash.

    p.s love the website and podcast
