It's an action packed show this week with a full cast as Ryan joins me, Qais, Jinny and Ross for the very first time. This week we're discussing E3 opening its doors to the public again, Little Big Planet being delayed for offending people, whether or not you should feel guilty for pirating games, Mother 3, Bioshock 2 and co-op split screen gaming. We also dip into the mailbag and discuss the scariest games we've ever played, and Qais whips out the most epic mailbag reading of all time. It's a full cast and a full 20 minutes longer than usual. It's like its your birthday or something!

Blizzcon and Tokyo Game Show came and went this week, and The Weekly Geek is here to, well, focus mainly on Blizzcon. Join me, Jinny and Ross as we talk incessantly about Starcraft II and Diablo III. We also touch on a few items from Tokyo Game Show, and Ross asks the question: is the games industry really recession-proof? Then we talk a little Mega Man 9. We also answer various mailbag questions. There are a lot of things we talk about, and we tend to go off on tangents. You enjoy this.

I made a game! Well, sort of. This week, Jinny and Qais join me to discuss the week's events including an XNA game jam I participated in, as well as some interesting news in the world of Nintendo. Will the DSi make the DS Lite obsolete? Will America's version of Club Nintendo equal the awesomeness of Japan's Club? And of course, we also answer listener questions.

This week's podcast features Qais, Chris, Jinny and Ross discussing various ephemera floating about in the geek sphere. Do you have to have a high def TV in order to truly experience games these days, or does standard suffice? Will Penn and Teller's upcoming tv show on video game violence actually teach us anything new? Why will the movie based on The Sims ultimately fail? Do MMOs ruin lives? Where do babies come from?

Hi! This week, Chris, Jinny and Ross sat down to discuss things that you may enjoy listening to. These things include Nintendo releasing a crazy amount of good games this week, whether or not World of Warcraft is work, if Portal may lose it's funny and how to keep on gaming during a financial crunch. What is this I hear about a PAX-themed contest? Oh hey! Neat. Look, there's a lot of things discussed this week. We just sort of have a conversation and it's an interesting conversation. That's what we do. In addition, you guys sent a ridiculous amount of mails this week for mailbag, so we read them all. Including the death threats. Yeah. Neat.

It's the battle of the blogs this week as your hosts are joined by the esteemed Nick Chester, Editor in Chief of Destructoid. We discuss the recent release of Rock Band 2 and how it holds up versus the original and the upcoming Guitar Hero World Tour. But we don't just talk about Rock Band! Okay, we talk a lot about Rock Band. But! We also discuss storytelling in co-op games, reinventing classics and why more "realistic" games made today may not stand the test of time, and Netflix origami! In addition, this podcast marks the premiere of our brand new theme song courtesy of the masterful Tettix, tunesmith extraordinaire. We also read your mailbag questions and announce a new contest. Don't miss it!

Qais, Chris, Jinny and Ross hit you this week with one very entertaining, very not safe for work podcast featuring a variety of subjects to amuse and delight. Spore released this week and we've got impressions and a discussion (ok, argument) about all the hype and why an 8 or 9 out of 10 isn't a bad review score after all. We talk a little Castle Crashers, a little Soul Calibur IV, and discuss (argue) about video games' tenuous link with science.

While away at the Penny Arcade Expo this year, Chris, Qais and Jinny experienced sights that astounded the mind and delighted the soul. From the various video game offerings such as Spore, Starcraft II, Rock Band 2, Guitar Hero, Left 4 Dead, Little Big Planet and Shaun White's Pro Barefoot WiiBoarding to the array of panels, concerts and ephemera featured at this giant geek gathering. This episode is devoted to covering the amazingness of PAX2008, which really proved to be the best. PAX. Ever. Reader questions are also answered in funny foreign accents.

We're back this week, with Chris, Jinny and Qais. Relaxed, refreshed and instilled with the potential energy surrounding PAX these geeks are here to talk about the upcoming convention, as well as select items from this week's news, and your letters read on air. We discuss what games we think deserve the Mega Man 9 treatment, and Qais rants about politics a bit. But only for a bit! And then Chris rants about a comic book. But only for a bit! These things happen. Please enjoy.

We're back this week, with Jinny, Chris, Ross and Qais as your esteemed hosts. This week's episode is as random as any, with subjects such as how awesome Soul Calibur IV is, how 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon can be validated by Science, how to create a stream of pure awesomeness from your PC to your Xbox 360, and some real life supervillains. It's the summer doldrums, but The Weekly Geek is here to rescue you from your boredom! Download this episode and rejoice!
