In the aftermath of E3 2008, Chris, Qais and Jinny discuss what ensued during the Nintendo and Sony conferences, and other great games announced at the now stripped down show. They raise questions such as: is Nintendo in the business of making money or making video games? And: what is the plural of "red headed stepchild"? Whether or not you want to have this information in your head is immaterial! It is here. Would you like to hear about our frothing demand for Mirror's Edge and EA's offerings? You can experience this.

With all of our jaded jackassery, we at The Weekly Geek do actually acknowledge the positive things in the geek realm, and what better time to express the joys of gaming than E3? This week's episode has Chris, Jinny and Qais disseminating the massive amount of information released at the Microsoft pre-E3 conference, from Avatars to Netflix integration, Party Mode, dashboard updates and more. The Rock Band 2 set lists and drum kits have also been detailed, and Jinny and Chris talk about their current favorite iPhone apps and why you should download them now. But first, won't you download a podcast? I am sure you will enjoy it.

This week is a crazy hodge-podge of Geeky subjects with your hosts Chris, Qais, Ross and Jinny as they discuss what they think is going to be shown at this year's E3 and if the event even matters anymore. We also talk about geek rites of passage, such as Chris' revelation that he just saw Blade Runner for the first time. A new book on nerds is discussed, dissected and judged for its cover, and we introduce a brand new geeky obsession: sous-vide cooking. Enjoy this week's podcast, for it is delicious.

Dear Sir or Madam, Enclosed you will find a special extra-long edition of The Weekly Geek with such personalities as Qais, Chris, Jinny and Ross discussing issues pertinent to your life. Have you ever wondered how Rock Band 2 might compete in this growing market of music games? Now you can know! Have you ever dreamed about Diablo III? Well dream no more! Do you believe that the record industry is crazy, and did you find this out from the magical talking cat in your closet? I, uhh... no actually that's weird. Enjoy these subjects, your questions answered on air (read with optional funny voices) and a bonus secret word section in this week's fabulous (did I mention free?) podcast. Sincerely, The Weekly Geek Inc., FDIC, D.D.S.

Here's the conclusion to our last Retro Podcast, cut short before you could hear Chris tell The Geek what happened with his teacher. Riveting, I know. We're off this week, but we hope you enjoy the second hour of classic geek from April 14th, 2004 which includes such timely topics as Splinter Cell: Pandora Tomorrow, baseball players who are also gamers, local Ellensburg, WA radio commercials, the weather and even some music which we hope will satisfy your geek needs this week. Cheers!

Join Weekly Geek editors Ross, Jinny, Qais and Chris this week as they discuss the new iPhone, how Apple may (or may not!) destroy the Nintendo DS, Republicans playing World of Warcraft, in-game ads, how the Atari movie could be an epic of our times, and the art of Adolf Hitler. The only other place you could get such a crazy mix of topics is if you were to be harassed by a meth-addled hobo! Don't let the hobo get you! Download the podcast post-haste!

With companies catering to the swelling masses of "casual" gamers, hardcore gamers are starting to feel slightly underrepresented. This week, Chris, Qais and Jinny talk about (more like obsess about) The World Ends With You and what it does to shake up the RPG formula, how Guitar Hero for the DS may actually be good, Beyond Good and Evil getting a much-deserved sequel, and the strange subset of hardcore Warcraft III custom map players. We then proceed to rip through the mailbag, where we actually read your actual letters on the air. I don't know how it works, I'm not a scientist.

We're digging into The Weekly Geek archives this week and presenting you with an authentic Geek experience all the way from 2004! The past! It's like you're a time traveler or something. This week, join The Geek and Frodo back on KCWU FM for the 7AM hour of April 14th. Enjoy some music, hear some old news and listen as someone wins a game that is surely in the bargain bin at a Gamestop by now. We return next week with your regularly scheduled jerkfaces. Enjoy!

You may not believe it, and when I heard it I scarcely believed it myself, but there's more to being a geek than just video games. What! Crazy! I know! The thirst for new stimulation isn't limited to just the digital realm of "veedoo games"! Music is what we crave, and the newest Weekly Geek Music Podcast is just the thing to satiate even the most ravenous of melody fiends. Mike and Chris present to you their top albums for this period in the space-time continuum, with artists like Portishead, Wolf Parade, Death Cab For Cutie and Nine Inch Nails. Perhaps, in listening, you will discover your new favorite band. These things are known to happen.
