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.

PAX sounded like fun! I'm glad to hear there's an east coast version coming. Left 4 Dead sounds totally awesome... but I don't want my fantasies of surviving a zombie apocalypse destroyed!

Cool show. Also the idea of strumming the Guitar Hero controllers without holding a fret creates the equivalent of an open note when playing a real guitar. You don't have to hold down a fret for the string to produce a note. I'd actually pondered about this concept before so I'll be interested to see how well Activision (especially seeing as they're not musicians like Harmonix) integrate this. Sounds cool though.

What say you?!
