When all through the night, the boys were yammering on about all the geek-shit they were hoping to get. At least, I assume that’s what they were doing. This was supposed to go out to you guys before Christmas, but they’ve been so busy playing… um… with their toys… um, well. Here it is, the Post-Pre-Christmas Post. According to Kev, they mainly talked about 3 movie trailers:

Nick Fury appears in Hulk and Iron Man. Hopefully he does more than just appear, hopefully he brings his FURY!

Hellboy 2 trailer. There’s a hell and there’s a boy. Again. And that cool fish dude.

Duke Nukem Forever? FOREVER!
Peace Out!

Welcome to another episode recorded on the road! Tonight we caught the cinematic screening of the Star Trek: The Original Series double-episode “The Menagerie” at Cinema Nova here in Melbourne. It’s had a massive worldwide release, and we were lucky enough to get into the Melbourne screening! It was pretty damn amazing what they’ve done with it. The remastering is fantastic, and the updated effects were tasteful and really quite good. Very, very impressive stuff.

Definitely gonna have to grab the new HD season 1 box set when it comes out!

Other crap we talked about:

In other news, the Ghostbusters are back! In Pog game form!
Are you an Australian, desperately yearning to ride a Segway? This is your time!
Google Maps street view readying for Australia!
Video, GPS, Googlemaps and you. A mashup.

TGoH #037 - Sex Games Po or Po’ Ex Games?

Game of Sex

Van’s girly here. I’m back and I’m RAD. So rad, in fact, it is now my official GoH moniker. Yay, me! (It works, kind of. It’s got three letters!)

So yeah, Ken and Viv Kev and Van went to the Egames Expo and promised they weren’t going anywhere near the Sexpo. So they said. But while I’m positive the Stig once punched down a horse, the possibility that these two didn’t ponder the Sexpo entrance for a long 10 minutes is beyond belief. And so it goes.
Okay, the official reason they were at the Sexpo Egames Expo was to interview Mark Eliot, some dude who made an actual computer game! Fo’ shizzle! According to Van’s taped confession, it’s highly addictive. For those of you still recovering from years and years of Tetris addiction, *ahem* BEWARE!

Peace out. RAD out.

Even more illogical would be Van’s girlfriend doing this blog post ON THE SLY! Which is happening right now, at this very moment! Excitement abounds! Especially when you realise that I haven’t heard the podcast and I’m totally winging it here! All for the sake of you loyal listeners, waiting patiently (too patiently?), for the next episode. I see the Geeks have trained you well. All Your Base Are Belong To Us and other geeky stuff. Yeah. On to the fun links. Stop looking at me.

Wow, two episodes in two days, you guys are probably crying right now so damn lucky, right? This week, Kev rambled on for 4 hours about our download stats, and then I spent the remaining 12 hours being a jerk. Why do I do it, damn it? Why? Here’s a few other things we talked about!

Hector Plasm in Hop Tu Naa

October 30th, 2007

Nate Bellegarde has been one of my favourite artists for a while now, best known for his art on the backup stories found in the back of Invincible. Every now and then, he posts a comic on Fetorpse, his Livejournal account. The guy’s artwork is messed up in every way I’ve ever wanted mine to be, and my hat is off to him at least twice a day. He’s posted up a new strip, so go check it out if ye know what’s good for ye.  You can also check out his sketchblog here.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m busy listening to a 90s compilation. Aaaah Mr. Big, wherever did you go.

TGoH Retail Sabotage!

October 30th, 2007

Last week when Kev and I hit Chadstone shopping centre to check out Asimo (that piece of crap!), we dropped into Apple and Myer to look at the new Macs—Kev needed his fix.  Anyway, we put TGoH up on each computer for lucky visitors to see.  The computers at Myer had their Safaris blocked from websites that weren’t in the links bar, but Kev had the idea of just bringing it up in iTunes instead.  The guy’s a thinker!
