Geek Fights

Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sport… the thrill of victory… and the agony of defeat… the human drama of athletic competition… this is Geek Fights. Join Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Chuck Farrell, Jeff Gunter and Kirky Wade as they discuss the BEST FICTIONAL ATHLETE. This time for real. No fake outs. Sweep the leg. Run Forest run. Eye of the tiger. We all know magic is for f*gs.

Brackets as usual: PDF and Excel format.

We often talk about the lead characters, but it's time for a look at the smaller characters. Join Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Christy Wooke, Jerad Formby, Chris Wood and special guest, author Larry Nemecek as they discuss what we have come to call the BEST 6TH STRING STAR TREK CHARACTER. Those ones with less than 10 appearances, but even with those few appearances, they left a big impression. Holograms, parents, villains, Khan. Wait how is Khan a 6th string character? Sure it's technically only 2 appearances but one of them was a movie with his name in the title! How is that a minor character?

They are teachers, guides, masters and trainers. Not Geeks Fights. We will not help you on your journey. Join Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Jill Valuet, Maria Cuba and Ben McCullough as they discuss the BEST MENTOR. Yes Mike put himself on the list again. There's words of wisdom aplenty, people get all teary, and for some reason Bane shows up. I'm not sure why. He's not a mentor. I guess he is Geek Fights' reckoning.

It's the first ever Geek Fights Comic Book Club. Join Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Jeremy Sacher, Anthony and Darnell Lee as they discuss the sprawling cosmic epic, Marvel Comics' THE INFINITY GAUNTLET by Jim Starlin, George Perez, Ron Lim and Joe Rubenstien. How does this tour de force for the villain Thanos (the guy from the end credits of Avengers) hold up 20 years after its publication? How did it change comics? Why are the backgrounds so white? Why are the PEOPLE so white? Seriously there are more green people in this book than black people.

It's time for bells, balls buzzers and flippers. Join Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Karin, Adam Hegemier, Millionare & Chris Hardy as they discuss the BEST PINBALL MACHINE. I didn't think I'd care one bit about this topic, but listening to our pinball wizards share their love for this classic gaming device was a treat for me, I think it will be for you.

A few months ago Chris Mitchell had a quick conversation with Mike Patanjo on twitter and to quote Mr. Patanjo (@FishAyePoker)... "@ChrisCantFly But you're English, so even a detailed discussion of anal gang-bangs sounds sophisticated." So Chris in his great British wisdom has decided to test this out! He is reading the Anthony Valenta classic "The Dangers of Butterbeer". If you would like to hear Chris read your story or other craziness please send it to [email protected]. Enjoy!

Its a quick follow up to the Best of Kevin Smith. A conversation between Mike & Damon about some more Kevin Smith convention anecdotes. And yet another boob money rant. Damon really hates boob money if you haven't figured it out.

It's time to pay tribute to our second favorite bearded, wordy, bespectacled fat man, Join Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Pete Lucas, Kathy Lehman and Tess Craft as they wade through dick and fart jokes, poor customer service, self consciously clever dialogue and nerd references to uncover the BEST OF KEVIN SMITH. There's genitals, profanity, conventions stories and Damon rants about boob-money.

I assure you we're open.
