Borked-Cast

Are people using the internet wrong (namely google, twitter, facebook)? We discuss this, our geeky weeks, news items (app store 2billion?!), the rise and fall of our favorite nerdy tv shows, and Fantasy Football, actually a geeky activity?

“The Netflix One” which is also “The New Video Games One”. We certainly loves us some games and video content, and this week, that’s about all we talk about. So if you hate those things, you probably hate us, so just stop reading this and go away. If you’re still here be prepared to enjoy a lively discussion on TV/Netflix/Hulu/Etc. and then a “borked”-style preview of the Fall 2009 video game releases.

In this week’s episode of Borked, David Eagle and Jay are joined by Andrew McAlpine.  We discuss new games you should check out, Disney’s acquisition of Marvel, and the evolution of single and multi-player games.

As a special gift to our loyal listeners, this episode features an outtro track created by our very own Andrew McAlpine of Gryffindor House Thugz.  I’m totally psyched to give you guys a chance to hear this song, as a huge fan of Nerdcore, Harry Potter inspired Rap is very close to my heart.  To find out more about GH Thugz, check out their MySpace.  You can download the full version of the track “Stand Up” for free right here.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode of Borked. Check back on here on Monday for the Pax Wrap-up with myself, Rev, Jay, and whoever else we can con into joining us.
