Tonight on GeekNights, we revisit a topic we covered once in 2007 to update it for current times: removable media. USB sticks and such. Rym spent some $20 for a 2GB USB stick in 2007. Times have changed. In the news, Epic Games has kicked off a massive legal battle with Apple and Google, as things continue to escalate.

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider how to be to be good at Modern Art, a Knizia tabletop bidding game we're particularly fond of. In the news, the New York Rangers have the first overall draft pick, Fall Guys is full of cheaters, Dire Wolf Digital is bringing some sort of Dune deckbuilding worker placement game, Luigi's endowment informs us on Bowser's height, and we will be streamed at PAX Online with an all-new panel!

Tonight on GeekNights, we discuss power tools. In the news, New York City is humid subtropical, the House Committee tech antitrust hearing was actually pretty good, and Herman Cain has died of COVID.

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider exercise games like Ring Fit Adventure, Dance Dance Revolution, and Super Team Games. Also those arm wrestling arcade cabinets. (Don't break your arm). Games where the game plays the player and not the other way around. In the news, join us for some train games at 18xx.games, the Nintendo Gigaleak is a fascinating moment in games history that will take us months to fully explore, and Internet trolls take out the US Army on Twitch.

Tonight on GeekNights, we review the first episode of Adventure Time: Distant Lands: BMO. It's more adventure time, and it doesn't in any way undermine or alter the perfect ending to the show. In the news, Aggretsuko season 3 is coming at the end of August, Kipo's two seasons are 100% worth watching, the Virtual Crunchyroll Expo is coming, and apparently episode zeven of Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 is almost worth watching. Also breaking news we can not wait on: the corrupt and unfit president of the United States is deploying what amount to SA Goons in American cities in a blatant fascist act of oppression. Do not ignore this.

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the (largely unwise) idea of bug bounties, as well as the questions and concerns around responsible disclosure of bugs and exploits in software and services. We did talk about this once back in 2009, but times have changed. In the news, Twitter was hacked for a bitcoin scam, Deep Fakes are getting dangerous quickly, and there are a lot of reasons you should avoid using TikTok.

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the humble act of modding gaming consoles. From video-output mods to the Playstation "backup" chips to enhanced GBAs, it's a golden (and possibly final) age for the hobby. In the news, Rym's still using his ancient phone, Microsoft Flight Simulator is returning in August (get your HOTAS ready for this and Star Wars: Squadrons), the SGDQ 2020 schedule is live, Shantae is getting a retro re-release, Quest for Glory is just on Steam if you want to play, as is Death Stranding, and the Game Devs of Color Expo will be online in September!

Tonight on GeekNights, we review the hot new Trigger anime BNA: Brand New Animal. It's another anime that saved anime, and it's definitely worth watching! Our friends over at the Gay Breakfast podcast consider it from a Queer perspective. In the news, Cheetos ain't worth it, Gary Larson returns with more of The Far Side, and the Slayers light novels are getting an English release! Also keep an eye out for us appearing at the Virtual Crunchyroll Expo!

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider what it means to truly be obsolete technology. In the news, the Pixii camera is a ridiculous waste of money, Olympus exits the camera business, and the Supreme Court upholds the 1991 law that bars robocalls to cellphones.

Tonight on GeekNights, we consider the food subscription box. Things like Hello Fresh or Blue Apron or Big Plumb or Purple Carrot. One of those is a made up name. In the news, Rym ran afoul of a kerosene-adjacent mystery, Scott's gym is closed, Block Together is shutting down, removing a powerful anti-harassment tool that Twitter needed despite Twitter removing their OWN anti-harassment tools (even though they used to promote such tools).
