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.

We're hotly anticipating Portal 2 in this week's podcast, so if you hate to hear people gushing about a game they haven't played yet... well you're in the wrong place. This week Jinny, Ross, Qais, Ryan and I discuss the Portal 2 ARG and its slightly anti-climactic outcome. We also chat about Nintendo's rumored next foray into consoles, the 3DS remake of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Clash of Heroes. We also discuss Game of Thrones and other book things. Also lots of interesting mailbag. Ever wonder what Ross dreams about? Yeah, WONDER NO MORE.

This week, please join me, Jinny, Ross and Ryan in discussing the 3DS launch and how bizarre glasses-free 3D is. We give you the rundown if you're on the fence about a purchase at all. We also discuss the Sword and Sworcery EP (spoiler alert: it's amazing), Bioware's response to one homophobic-ish gamer and more.

This week Qais, Jinny, Ross and I discuss the recent disaster(s) in Japan and how you can help as well as a number of other topics that aren't half as important as you stopping what you're doing right now and helping if you haven't already. Here's a good place to start.
Done? Cool. So we also talk about a new indie mech shooter game set in a living city, a few bits and pieces about PAX East including a date for Child of Eden, a Fez preview and... the Civilization board game? We also discuss some food-related stuff like how to make home made pop rocks and the miracle of miracle fruit.

This podcast rated M for not-so-mature. This week, join me, Jinny, Ross and Qais in discussing the Bulletstorm Demo and its purposefully awful dialog (OR IS IT?!). We also discuss the recent layoffs hitting Harmonix, Dance Central character designs, the Sony NGP, Metroid 1.5, Minecraft and how Qais thinks the God King in Infinity Blade sits on a throne evoking female genitalia. Yeah, we're super mature.
