Geekistry: What geeks do.

Geekistry Episode #38 – Podcast On!

Geekistry — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:00:55 +0000

“For a small microtransaction fee, we’ll be your podcast of choice”

Lots of geek news – Gamers were excited about today’s launch of Starcraft 2, but weren’t as sure about the announcement by Sony that Everquest II is now FTP. Also, “The Guild” has a new season and music video “Game On”. Geekistry’s biggest discussion was about the EFF, legalizing “jailbreaking”, Apple’s response, and what we think.

Geekistry Episode #37 – That’s so Random

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:00:04 +0000

After a few random formalities about the white iPhone 4 (and the top 10 reasons you don’t need it) and other bits, we discuss random . Is random really random and what do chaos, infinity, entropy, and lava lamps have to do with it?

Today, Disney unveiled the latest trailer for its sequel to 1982′s “Tron”. Named “Tron Legacy”, it shows how Kevin Flynn’s son Sam finds his father’s equipment from Encom hidden in the back of the old arcade, and gets sucked into the world that his father seemingly hasn’t been able to escape from.

Geekistry Episode #35 – rnd (life)

Geekistry — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 12:00:05 +0000

Why not have a completely random and unplanned show? That’s exactly what episode 35 turned out to be: Without show notes we talked about random topics from Tron, video game nostalgia, social media hype, road trips, iPhone apps… and even the meaning of life.

Geekistry — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:00:37 +0000

In the last show, Mike dared Krissi to wear a pink shirt – and she did! After the reveal we reviewed our weekend of hangin’ with friends, playing Cataclysm beta, and the new Geekistry forums, before debating Star Trek: The Original vs. The Next Generation.

Geekistry forums are online

Michael Gaines — Sat, 17 Jul 2010 16:09:03 +0000

Hi everyone! After looking at forum options, we decided to take the World Of Warcast forums and move them to the new Geekistry forums. The reason why is that I have one license for vBulletin and rather than support two forums, I moved everything into one.

Geekistry Episode #32 – Can you paint with pixels?

Geekistry — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 12:00:23 +0000

Famous critic Roger Ebert once said, “Video games can never be art,” so professional geeks (and video game players) Mike and Krissi have a spirited discussion and ask, “Are video games art?”
