Your Personal Soundtrack - Tettix
Bitmaster hyper-god Tettix (formerly Cicada, AKA Judson Cowan) is currently rockin' my iPhone, it's the perfect music for sitting on the bus and staring out into space. You may be familiar with this chiptune artist already, as his track "Earth's Assault on the Central AI" is currently being used as the Weekly Geek Theme song. I've found in my nerdy search of nostalgic beats that the quality of chiptune artists varies as much as the quality of old school NES games, they are all fun in their own right, but only a few are true classics. Tettix has skills. Mad skills.
He's even created tracks for Nike, Diesel and Cartoon Network. But with his albums Technology Crisis I and II he has painted a landscape for a non-existent game from the 80's. His albums take on their own narrative depending on your interpretation, much like an artist like Sigur Ros, Mogwai or Explosions in the Sky. He perfectly encapsulates what made NES music classic: catchy melodies, cohesive flow and a striking sense of mood. The best part? He has offered all his tracks online, gratis. There's even a sweet album of Metroid covers.
I'd love to commission him to do a real theme song some day. And hey! Check this out, he's also a great graphic designer. High fives all around.
Podcast for 7.21.08 | Look Into The Mirror
In the aftermath of E3 2008, Chris, Qais and Jinny discuss what ensued during the Nintendo and Sony conferences, and other great games announced at the now stripped down show. They raise questions such as: is Nintendo in the business of making money or making video games? And: what is the plural of "red headed stepchild"? Whether or not you want to have this information in your head is immaterial! It is here. Would you like to hear about our frothing demand for Mirror's Edge and EA's offerings? You can experience this.

Retro Podcast for 04.14.04 Part Two
Here's the conclusion to our last Retro Podcast, cut short before you could hear Chris tell The Geek what happened with his teacher. Riveting, I know. We're off this week, but we hope you enjoy the second hour of classic geek from April 14th, 2004 which includes such timely topics as Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, baseball players who are also gamers, local Ellensburg, WA radio commercials, the weather and even some music which we hope will satisfy your geek needs this week. Cheers!
Podcast for 06.16.08 | Questionable Maturity
This week, resident geeks Chris, Jinny, Qais and Ross manage to go a full thirty minutes without saying the word "ass monster", proving that geeks really are the bastions of intelligence and maturity they claim to be. Of course this is in reference to the Spore Creature Creator being released this week, allowing anyone to create any malformed genital-monster their heart desires. The geeks talk about M. Night Shyamalan's new movie The Happening and how it's might be intelligent design propaganda, the new Ghostbusters video game and how it might not suck, how Google might be making us stupid, why the $100 laptop project might just be stupid (according to some people), hard-hitting food issues such as a discussion as to why Ted Allen's new food show is going to be awesome and a dip into the mailbag. That's right, YOUR barely legible letters read on air! Show notes after the jumpitty jump.
Remember, kids! This podcast is not really work safe! Only listen with headphones or around questionable company!

Podcast for 06.09.08 | Pong Machinima
Join Weekly Geek editors Ross, Jinny, Qais and Chris this week as they discuss the new iPhone, how Apple may (or may not!) destroy the Nintendo DS, Republicans playing World of Warcraft, in-game ads, how the Atari movie could be an epic of our times, and the art of Adolf Hitler. The only other place you could get such a crazy mix of topics is if you were to be harassed by a meth-addled hobo! Don't let the hobo get you! Download the podcast post-haste!
Note: Due to unfortunate technical disturbances in the force, Ross' audio is at whisper-level. Instead of just scrapping this perfectly decent podcast, I opted to release it anyway for posterity. I apologize in advance for any burst eardrums caused by audio schizophrenia.
Retro Podcast from 04-14-04 | Classic Geek
We're digging into The Weekly Geek archives this week and presenting you with an authentic Geek experience all the way from 2004! The past! It's like you're a time traveler or something. This week, join The Geek and Frodo back on KCWU FM for the 7AM hour of April 26th. Enjoy some music, hear some old news and listen as someone wins a game that is surely in the bargain bin at a Gamestop by now. We return next week with your regularly scheduled jerkfaces. Enjoy!
Podcast for 05-19-08 | The Great Slipper Collapse of 1985
This week, Qais, Chris and Ross the Transparent Underground Gnoll meet at the Fortress of Geekitude to discuss the state of video game trade shows, Konami's new Rock Revolution and what a new drum peripheral could mean for crowded living rooms everywhere, making worthwhile games for children, the Great Slipper Collapse of 1985 (includes bonus Fraggle Rock discussion) and then the boys dip into the mailbag. Which isn't a euphemism.

Podcast for 05-12-08 | Laaaaadieees?
It's ladies night on The Weekly Geek, as Colette and Jinny join the very manly Chris and the always testosterone-heavy Mack in what is possibly the ladiest podcast ever. Is Guitar Hero IV going to rock Rock Band? Is Lost Winds Colette's favorite game evar? (Protip: it is!) Other topics include mini map dependence, Emerald City Comic Con, Crisis Core, and more great TV. Enjoy the brisk flavor of this special podcast... ladies.
Podcast for 05-05-08 | Press the Carjack Button
This week isn't ALL about Grand Theft Auto IV, though it's hard to talk about anything else this week as its been ruling most gamers' lives. In a good way. Chris and Qais discuss the greater value of Grand Theft Auto as a piece of high art, completely without sarcasm! No, seriously! Why don't you believe me?! We then move on to Guitar Hero's brand being diluted, and Qais talks about insomnia and what kind of snacks he likes when he's pulling an all-nighter.

Podcast for 04-28-08 | Stupid Fingers
It's Grand Theft Auto week and Chris, Qais and Ross express various levels of excitement at the prospect of hijacking cars and shooting hookers. Love it or hate it, the internet is atwitter with GTA coverage and we shamelessly feed into it in this week's podcast. But this week isn't just about GTA, no! Also discussed is the prospect of awesome crashes with motorcycles in Burnout, whether or not the Guinness Book of Records Gamer Edition is worthwhile, how movie directors can use misdirection to their advantage, and Qais reveals he has a horrifying disability: Stupid fingers.

Podcast for 04-14-08 | Animal Crossing Flashbacks
Who knew what kind of effect Animal Crossing could have on a man? In this week's podcast, Qais recounts his harrowing tale of Tom Nook-related horror, joined by Chris and Ross who laugh in delight at his misery. Nintendo's E3 debut of a new DS is discussed, as well as Bad Company's weapon conspiracy, indie games relying on old school art, video game retail stores that look like Borg ship interiors (and how awesome that would be), and Motley Crue is made fun of for being old. Your questions are also answered within as the mailbag is opened and not mocked in the slightest.

Podcast for 03-31-08 | Gimmicks
We here at The Weekly Geek loathe gimmicks. That's why we aren't trying to draw you in by posting some wacky April Fool's Day version of the podcast. Because we love you. This week Chris, Qais, Colette and Mack scrape the bottom of the barrel of geek news this week to discuss the Portal song in Rock Band, Bawls' G33K B33R, Grand Theft Auto IV, and Microsoft's lawyers being very un-lawyery. We wrap it up with a cool, crisp and refreshing discussion about gimmicky control schemes.

This week, Mack, Chris, Colette and Qais react with indignant disgust at the recent Mass Effect "controversy", talk about Goldeneye for the Xbox Live Arcade being canned, Yoda and Darth Vader in Soul Calibur and then discuss why we game. Apple's new Macbook Air is drooled over, and Chris is on cold meds the entire show, which makes for entertaining rambling.

Chris Joins Podtoid
That's right, Geekateers, I have joined the ranks of the illustrious PODTOID, the Destructoid.com video game podcast. The transition has been in the works for a bit as they needed some help offloading their production time, and in return for helping them record and produce and post their podcast, I get to be a regular guest. How will this affect The Weekly Geek? Not a lot. Podtoid tends to discuss subjects relative to the Dtoid community, covering the top stories on the site for the week, and surprisingly there is little overlap between the podcasts. So don't despair!
Download the newest Podtoid, Podtoid 20-ish: The Repoddening from the Podtoid site now! It turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself.
Conversation Marketing Interview with Me
Today Ian Lurie of Conversation Marketing posted his very first podcast (aww), which just so happens to be an interview with me about The Weekly Geek, how we got started and what our blogging process is. There are some good tips in there for people who are interested in starting their own blog, and if you haven't checked out Ian's site yet and you are at all interested in internet marketing, you're missing out.
The sound on the podcast is a bit quiet, but that's my fault. Just crank it, man! CRANK UP THE ROCK (marketing talk).
In the interest of full disclosure - I work for Ian's company as my day job

Subscribe now or download the mp3!

The Geek visits Japan...kinda
This past Saturday, I was so very graciously invited to be a guest on the Dai-Cast podcast inter-ma-web-o-tron show at tiltyhouse.com
The hosts of Dai-Cast, Ian Horner, Jason Hill, Eryn Dearden, and Brendan "Beej" Dery strap on the ol' headsets and launch into Skype for a podcast that covers what's going on in Japan and current Japanese culture.
Now, most geeks in general tend to be utterly fascinated by the magical land of Nihon because two extremely popular geek pastimes, video games and anime, come mostly from there. But did you know there's actually more to Japan than dating sims, Pocky, and Super Sentai shows? (I said SENTAI, that's an S there, get your mind out of the gutter.) Yeah, it turns out that it's actually a whole country to itself with it's own people and customs and stuff.
Come along with me on this magical journey into Parts Unknown.
Wait, I think I can be an even more typical ethnocentric American jerk for you. I have to represent my country dutifully, right?
Ok, here goes.
Haha, those sumo guys wear diapers.
Oh man, I'd so be going to hell if there actually was such a place.
Anyway, check out the show over at the Tiltyhouse and learn a thing or two. I know I did.
Podcast for 04-23-07 | I Didn't Die Once
On this week's podcast, The Geek and Chris "Frodo" Furniss are joined by Colette Bennett from DESTRUCTOID as they discuss games being blamed for violence, Extreme Home Makeover, Mortal Kombat going serious, the long dialog of Okami and Super Paper Mario, and Harry Potter. Also included is a discussion about whether or not you should die in a well-designed game. SUPER BONUS ROUND: voicemail! Download the podcast here or subscribe. You know you want to.
The Weekly Geek's 2007 Spring Music Preview

and The Shins' Wincing the Night Away. They also discuss the Deerhoof Milkman Ballet, The Knife, John Vanderslice and a super excellent compilation of 8-Bit covers of Kraftwerk music called 8 Bit Operators. Also stay tuned for their 2007 music preview, as they talk about Bjork's new album, a possible new Portishead album, the Sasquatch festival and a brand new Elliott Smith double-disk.
Also mentioned is how Rolling Stone is stupid and you should listen to us for music reviews. If you like our video game podcast, you'll love the music podcast. Download it now or subscribe to the podcast on iTunes!

Frodo on Podtoid
This week I was on DESTRUCTOID's PODTOID again! They SAY the quality sucked, but I think it's pretty passable. Tune in to hear the origins of my lame nickname and to hear some cusses.
A very special episode.
Hey all you geek-kateers, the show for this week is going to be slightly delayed due to some special stuff going down. I don't wanna completely spill the beans, but I can let you know that we are going to be recording the show at the special subterranean complex headquarters of a giant international entertainment conglomeration. And joining us will be the mastermind behind the inner business workings to answer our most probing questions and to talk in general with us about the Gamut of Geekery™.
Stay khooned.
I mean tuned. Stay tuned.
Crap.

Frodo on Podtoid
This week I was a guest on the esteemed podcast PODTOID, with the excellent cock-loving and poo-announcing editors of DESTRUCTOID. Poo humor aside, I had a great time. Mosey on over to the house where robots live and give it a good download. It will make your Friday bearable.
