Geek Syndicate

This week adventurers into the Great Unknown Kehaar and Matt gaze into the pitiless void, to see if anything is staring back, or they've just had too much to drink. Diving headlong into the largely godless realm of Science Fiction, we look at those beings that may sometimes act like, or be mistaken for them.

This week:

- Star Trek and it's pantheon of god-like entities, and how it treats them

- Battlestar Galactica old and new, Angels, Demons and Men and Robots

- Lovecraft and the nameless horrors of Ancient Aliens

- The Gods of the Old World, wearing capes and playing at being Superheros.

Don’t forget the competition currently on, details can be found here. Ends 31st May 2015!

Join Amaechi and Ant as they discuss the latest video game news. This month, the boys discuss the joys of PSN + and Games for gold before heading into the news.

This time, we have two reviews for you - Ant talks about Deus Ex: The Fall (the PC / Steam edition) and Amaechi details his experiences in the first three chapters of TellTale Games' Fable game - The Wolf Among us.

This episode we are reading X-Men issues 25 (Oct 1966) and 26 (Nov 1966) in which the X-Men tackle El Tigre. We finally start to see some more development in the Scott/Jean/Warren love triangle that has been causing tension in the team from day one but we'll have to wait until next time to find out how it all unfolds. Meanwhile, we talk about Captain America, The Raid II, and Agents of Shield. So much geekery!

This week Godly Monster Kehaar and Monstrous God Matt discuss the nature of Church and State with our latest episode on God Emperors.
