This week, we talked about:

Fringe, Sanctuary, Dr. Who (The End of Time), and Movie Moon: pros and cons.

Christmas shopping for your favorite Geek. (Disclaimer: All of these retailers are e-stores. Geeks don’t do brick and mortar in 2009)

Cool Stuff:

X-tremeGeek.com

This is like the Sky Mall of Geek toy stores. Mostly filled with useless crap but every once in a while you find something you just can’t live without.

A Bone Collection Flash Drive

Max Brooks’ The Zombie Survival Guide

ThinkGeek.com

This store is much more well marketed than any others. They know who their demographic is and how to connect with them. If you can’t find something for your Geek here, you’re probably out of luck.

Highlights:

Bacteria Growth Science Kit

Star Trek Enterprise Bottle Opener

Tauntaun Sleeping Bag

20 Sided Fuzzy Dice Danglers

Not Cool Stuff:

Kindle/Nook

– locked down with DRM

– limited selection of books, and what there is are ridiculously priced

-Nook does not currently let you use giftcards

We also had special guest Frankie B Washington (illustrator of Marooned on Mogo, a children’s book based around a band of children stranded on a strange planet) who discusses his new book, as well as art-cards as an affordable way of collecting your favorite artists.

Special guest host Mike Himan from Airlock Alpha. We wish Brett from Double Midnight Comics and Collectibles , a happy birthday and chat about their Munchkin demo. We had a discussion of the New England con-scene, and a warning about unestablished cons. Discussion with the creators of the new Sci-Fi cartoon Skullduggery, Derrick, Ed, and Brian. Skullduggery takes classic movie monsters and puts them in outer-space.

Drinking Game: Drink every time IllustratorX does his evil laugh.

Sponsor: Brian Belanger

The discussion over what is wrong with Fox wraps up and the winner of last weeks trivia question is announced.
