Podcast for 04-14-08 | Animal Crossing Flashbacks

animalcrossingflashback.jpg

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 4-07-08 | Relating to "Gamers"

relatingtogamers.jpg

Is being called a "gamer" a bad thing? On this week's podcast, Chris, Mack and Qais look into how gamers as a group are regarded by the general populace. Are we really all just trash talking escapist sociopaths? Or is "gamer" just another flavor of geek? We discuss various arguments on both sides, also touching on this week's news from Microsoft's answer to the Wii, to analyzing Portal's main villain, to Penny Arcade's newest indie games venture.

Podcast for 03-31-08 | Gimmicks

gimmickspodcastimage.jpg

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.

Podcast for 03-17-08 | Five Stars

fivestar.jpg

It's just Chris and Qais on the podcast this week, as the duo discuss the Weekly Geek t-shirt contest, how St. Patrick's day sucks, free Guitar Hero DLC, and how Dreamworks sucks. But not everything sucks! We also talk about the MMO documentary Second Skin, and how we think that it would be nice to see a documentary paint gamers in a kind light, but how it's not likely to fill seats at the theater. Ok, that kind of sucks. All of these topics and more await you!

Podcast for 02-25-08 | Superheroes

022508superheroes.jpg

With HD-DVD dead, the geeks from The Weekly Geek somehow manage to make a podcast in these most dire of times. Yea, though the apocalypse is upon us, we can still enjoy ranting and raving about video games and movies. This week, Chris, Mack and Qais discuss the wonders that are Wondercon and the Game Developer's Conference, expanding into discussion of community games, digital downloads, media wars, how much cooler Rock Band is versus Guitar Hero, the virtues of Leonardo DiCaprio and how DC will never really kill off their characters, even though they say they will. Liars.

I apologize for the audio quality of the podcast, we had technical issues again which makes me and Qais sound quiet and Mack sound really loud. Good for Mack, I guess!

Podcast for 02-18-08 | Dissecting Geeks

dissectinggeeks.jpg

What makes a geek tick? This week, Chris, Qais, Colette and Mack discuss our formative geek experiences; what defined our tastes, what makes us tick. What games did we play as kids and did those games have an influence on what we like today? Is today's generation of new gamers going to have the same nostalgic view of today's current lineup, or will the classics endure?

While all the rest of the world was scouring the Internet for videos of their favorite Super Bowl commercials, The Weekly Geek was recording our least caustic podcast ever! Chris, Qais, Mack and Colette ramble about the dangers of man-children, squeal about Ender's Game becoming a...uh...game (speculating which other books would make good games in the process), cast a realistically pessimistic eye on Rock Band for the Wii, and unapologetically profess their rampant book-lust. Our PopCap cover contest winners are announced within, and the moment you've all been waiting for: Qais gets a new gamertag.

hatingonthegriefers.jpg

Alright, who ordered the podcast with the large side of hateful banter and ridicule? Nobody? Well here's one on the house. On this week's podcast, Chris, Qais, Colette, and Mack wrap up the Mass Effect controversy with a discussion about griefing and revenge on the Internet. Are some types of griefing ok where others are not? We play a little Burnout Paradise and talk open-world games, destroy a little more of your faith in humanity, and discuss the record industry finally coming to the shocking realization that people enjoy convenience, especially when it's free. A wide variety of things! Things for you to listen to!

Fall 2007 Music Podcast

The quarterly music podcast is upon us! Furniss and Wiegand are at it again with their favorite brand of snobbish elitism and indie music to match. Everything is covered here, from the unique sounds of Andrew Bird to the hilarious comedy numbers by Flight of the Conchords. Check it out and leave your opinions/personal picks in the comments section. Also, nail the jump for a tracklisting, iTunes links and added commentary on each artist. Remember to support the indie artists that you like!

Andrew Bird - "Imitosis"
Overcoming a bad first impression with us is something really hard for musicians to do and Andrew Bird definitely did. Download on iTunes

St. Vincent - "Your Lips Are Red"
The line in this song "My face is drawn on with this number two pencil" just kills me every time. Download on iTunes


Tegan & Sara - "Back In Your Head"
A great deal of maturity shown here from a band not necessarily famous for that sort of thing. Tegan and Sara - The Con

New Pornographers - "Myriad Harbor"
Danny Bejar's contributions to their latest record Challengers seem a little more solid than writing partner A.C. Newman's. Just a first reaction to their latest material. Download on iTunes


John Vanderslice - "White Dove"
More fantastic songwriting from Vanderslice whose album Emerald City is bound to be a boutique favorite in this year of indie releases. Download on iTunes


Iron & Wine - "White Tooth Man"
Sam Beam in excellent form on this very untypical album for Iron & Wine standards. Look for this album soon.Download on iTunes


Band of Horses - "Is There A Ghost?"
Generally I love Band of Horses, but they're sounding very generic on the newest material. Odd... just very odd. Still enjoyable though.Download on iTunes


The Go! Team - "Titanic Vandalism"
Still as peppy as ever. Songs like this are kinda cheerful anthems for cubicle workers. You can conquer the world when you listen to The Go! Team, or at least it feels that way.Download on iTunes


M.I.A. - "Boyz"
This track definitely rocks the discoteque.Download on iTunes


LCD Soundsystem - "All My Friends"
Sorta reminds me of old U2, in a way. John in the Morning from KEXP is obsessed with this band.Download on iTunes


Silversun Pickups - "Well Thought Out Twinkles"
Hearkens back to Siamese Dream-era Pumpkins.Download on iTunes


Flight of the Conchords - "Business Time"
New Zealand's current favorite sons have one of the funniest shows on TV and now an uproariously hilarious comedy album on Sub Pop Records. Like Matt & Trey from South Park, they're very proficient on their instruments too.
