Hello listeners, it’sa me, van-io!
It’s been a long time since I last made a post here, so forgive me (or else) if I screw up the file link or anything else vaguely important. Rest assured, anything you don’t really need: I will get it RIGHT.
What happened this week? You’ll never, ever know. Unless you read below, I guess. Curse you, obviousness!
Kev waxed on about his dramas with a 3G wireless broadband card that a previous user had used to subscribe to an expensive SMS service.
Van ionised reality with a story about a comic book artist detained at the airport for holding scripts about a character given the task by the US Gubbament to imagine the most horrifying 9/11-type terror threats possible.
We played another game of Guess That Theme or whatever the hell it’s called, with Van bolloxing his way through one guess, just scraping in on another, and… damn it, I can’t remember how the rest of it played out.
Kev forked out 10 bucks for Doom Resurrection on the iPhone, and neither of us could figure out what the hell we’re doing. Have we grown too old? Computer says shove it.
Wolfram Alpha and Three Wolf Moon figured heavily in this episode, and while neither really has anything to do with the other, I’m running out of patience with this damn blog post!
Van’s future favourite show crashed and burned, with Ron Moore’s Virtuality pilot slash telemovie grabbing a viewership equal to the number of women eager to sleep with Kirk Douglas. Good news for Kirk Douglas, not so hot for Virtuality.
Lucasarts may bring back the venerable adventure games of yore – Day of the Tentacle anyone?
Van insists you all watch the 12 minute preview of Ronald D Moore’s new show Virtuality. Kev wonders if it will be as good as Van says… do we give Ron the benefit of the doubt?

This week on Geeks of Hazzard love is in the air as Kev talks about his recent engagement (congratulations Kev!) and introduces us all to the most romantic Computer game theme song of the 90s.
We also talk about Kev’s other love, the iPhone, with a focus on the new iPhone 3g Ass and its new operating system, iPhone OS 3.0.
Kev tries to explain the rebranding of Apple laptops to a confused Van, as well as trying to explain the Thief video game franchise.
Van introduces us to the Gagh-swilling, Batleth-wielding Mickey Rourke character “Whiplash son of Mogh” from the second Iron Man film.
Kev and Van discuss the merits of having an NSFW tag in HTML 5… without really having a clue about what they’re saying!
Van talks about the Time Traveler’s Wife movie with Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams.
Van enlighten’s Kev to some interesting news regarding the next Doctor Who episode. Kev kicks himself that he hadn’t come across this news on his lonesome.
Ok, for those of you who downloaded the last podcast and were wondering about the 57 minutes of absolute dead silence, no, it wasn’t our very own tribute to Philip Glass – that yet again a demonstration of the “Technical Difficulties” you’ve (hopefully!) come to know, love and expect from your friends, the Geeks of Hazzard. With any luck, S3 E8 should be fully operational, and all it’s circuits are functioning perfectly.
This week the Geeks of Hazzard discuss the recent legal action against The Pirate Bay. The Geeks of Hazzard verdict – this ship ain’t sunk just yet!
Kev talks about his experience with a Mac Mini as a Media Centre machine, and discusses his experiences with legally obtaining media via iTunes – Riveting stuff which ties in well with an article about legal media delivery from Slate.
Nothing makes sense anymore, does it? I struggled to find a connection between Dollhouse and Thundercats, but I love Thundercats more. Still, Dollhouse is starting to get interesting, so I may return to it for the next lame header image. Wait with bated breath!
Michael Bay signs on to fuck up Thundercats. Bonus: A fan-made Thundercats trailer.
Van gets excited about Cowboy Bebop:
Cowboy Bebop fanmade trailer and a trailer for the Cowboy Bebop ‘Stairway to Heaven’ movie!
They talk randomly about Dollhouse – Van begs everyone to bear through the first 4 or 5 episodes, but reckons they could survive by just skipping those eps and reading the synopses for them.
Van suggests start-off anime movies and series for Kev. Series – Robotech, Patlabor (though this one is harder to get, never released the original 43 eps in the west), Movies – Akira, Ninja Scroll.
Get ready for a special anime episode of TGoH! They were vague on dates. I think a BSG marathon is coming first.
Funny how riled up people get over the whole Nerd vs. Geek issue. Forget it! Take it back, OWN the name and get over it. Whether you think you’re a nerd or a geek, the important thing to remember is that listening to Kev and Van makes you AWESOME. Show the guys some love. Leave comments, tweet them a serenade, maybe even get them drunker than a cheap date.
Hiya! A quick post to get an overdue TGoH ep up and running in the podosphere before we go ahead and publish this weeks ep in the next couple of days! Sorry about the delay, yo!
This Episode contained discussion of the too-good-to-be-true OnLive Service being launched at the GDC conference, a tribute to Brian the Space bat (Meme of the week!), some ill informed discussion of the Australian Internet Filter trials and the WikiLeaks arrest controversy.
Peace,
Kev.
(This is Slacker Fiona apologising for the delay. I bring a humble offering of this terrible header image. Yeah. I rule.)
The Geeks of Hazzard are two brothers (not actually related) with a no-bulls**t attitude who divide their time between fast cars (if you can call a Peugeot 206 fast), fast women (I don't know where they're going in such a hurry?) and geek pop-culture, bringing it to the masses via their explosive podcast, all the while laughing in the face of the evil Boss Hogg (Cam Reilly)
