SOCKYETI

Join us and our special guest, Jake Ryder (JRyde) of freak bike fame, as we talk about the Zoobomb Chariot wars, metal working, chainsaw-powered bikes, and all things manly.

Strap in and hunker down for another thrilling installment of the greatest podcast ever recorded! This time around we have a more games-focused episode in which we discuss the launch of the PlayStation Vita, the upcoming release of SSX, and get super nerdy about pricing philosophies in the iOS market. For those of you not so nerdily-inclined, fear not, as you will receive your required dose of uniquely Portland-themed mayhem! We recently attended the Bike Chariot Wars (part of Zoobomb's annual Mini Bike Winter event), which is every bit as absurd as it sounds and looks.

SEASON TWO OF SOCKYETI HAS BEGUN! Now, ordinarily, a show takes a break between its two seasons, but because we don't take no #$%% from The Man, we do things our way AND START THINGS BACK UP IMMEDIATELY. (Well, to be fair, we did take the break between recordings, but release schedules are frickin' craaaaaazy, you know what I mean? Shi.)

Hi There! So this is the final episode of Season 1 of the podcast. Originally recorded in early November 2011, it was lost in the bowels of the earth and your intrepid heroes have spent the past three months journeying through the nine circles of hell to finally bring it back to this mortal coil so that you, our fans, can enjoy it. Fret not, fair listeners; Season 2 is nearer than you think!

Delayed due to technical difficulties, but never forgotten, Sockyeti is back to tease your earbongos with our unique blend of atonal talkmusics. Step right up and take a big ol' bite with your sonic maw.

In a desperate bid to pull in sponsorships, we take it upon ourselves to endorse all manner of aftermarket bicycle enhancement accessories.

Hard pressed to come up with a new and original way to kick off the show, we make the groundbreaking decision to run through things…backwards (AAAAAHH!)

If ever there existed any doubt over whether Dabe possesses the Warrior's Spirit, let those doubts now and forever be laid to rest in the dirtground.

After briefly considering changing the name of our show to better reflect our core values, we move on to discuss more pressing matters…like braces and other metal things that go in your mouth.

We also get sad about the League of Legends OS X client being canceled, and go game happy talking bout about Deus Ex: Human Revolution, board games, and even Dungeons and Dragons.

We talk some more about last week's release of the Gold Life Dunny series from Huck Gee, and after all of our time spent musing about Portlandia, we both finally actually ran into some cast members while about town!

Giving you absolutely ZERO time to recover from Episode 25, we're back at it with our recap of Firefall's PAX 2011 (brought to you by Firefall, the game). Enjoy tales of our adventures over the long weekend during our journey to Seattle (the OTHER rainy city), and be amazed that we made it back alive. This week we also introduce a NEW segment to the show that will become a regular occurrence, brought about by (but not depended upon) PAX as well. Have questions about the convention? Contributions you'd like to make to the new segment? Drop us a line and we'll be happy to answer as best we can.
