Today we have an afternoon recording, in which we talk about recent gaming, some kickstarter arrivals, and of course the Avengers phenomenon.

Did Gyroplay and GeekJock have a throw down about another movie or will they agree this time?

You will have to see!

Thanks to all our listeners as we have reached 25 episodes! We are excited about it and hope the next 25 go as smoothly as the 1st 25 did!

Today we chat about this year’s summer blockbuster season. We also have a Summer Movie Draft in which we each pick 3 movies for a victory point to the winner! The Geek AllStars first real contest is announced as well so listen in and enjoy.

We had Gyroplay at the helm which means more movie trailers!

You can find the blockbusters of the summer easyt enugh on IMDB.com or youtube so I will only link the indy’s we talked about. As always some might not be safe for kids or work so be careful!

Here is a list of Trailers we talk about on the show. We liked em all so please check them out and let us know what  you think.

Today we are a man down as Red is working a crazy schedule AGAIN, but with any luck we will have him back next episode.

But most importantly we talk about GeekJock’s foray into playing in the first annual Carolina Hurricane Fantasy Alumni game for charity. It was quite an amazing time and I will remember it FOREVER. I wanted to mention some guys who made it all fun and possible, as well as guys who we have been talking to over twitter these last few weeks too. Look for my blog post with more info and pics over on www.geekjockblog.com in the coming days as well.

We also talk about some great trailers as well, check these out:

Total Recall

Ted (NOT SAFE FOR WORK

Safety not Guaranteed

And finally we get into the news of all news in the geek world the launching of Felicia Day’s Youtube channel Geek and Sundry. Please check it out and let her know the Allstars sent you!

See you next week and thanks a ton for listening!

Today we review the new D&D euro board game Lords of Waterdeep by Wizards of the Coast. We have already said we love this game but check out the how to play part of the review and some more flavor comments we have about it as well.

When I get a chance I will update this post with a link to the official FAQ’s for the game which might be helpful to some out there.

EDIT: Link to official FAQS

Please let us know what you think of this review and the game itself!

–GeekJock

Tonight we try and catch up by talking about a TON of gaming and movies.

We played D&D Euro — Lords of Waterdeep right before the show and talk about the impending play of Zong Shi right after the show.

In movie news we touch on the “John Carter” debate of if it’s a “bomb” or not.

And as usual we get on a weird tangent in which Gyroplay confesses why he wants to punch Stephen Hawking. This gets us on a long tirade of whackiness, to which I assure you a small disclaimer: We mean no offense EVER to any groups so please don’t be offended by anything we say ever. We just like to beat on each other and have fun giving each other crap.

Except maybe for Transformers, I am pretty sure Gyroplay wants to offend them all the time.

Enjoy and please keep a look out for our Guild on BGG and let us know any topics you would like covered in the future!

Hey all just a quick note, there will not be an episode this week, since I will be headed to vegas for the annual Las Vegas Hockey Classic, that my team plays in every March. We were going to try and get a recording in today or yesterday but schedules just didn’t quite match up.

My appologies and I can assure you we will be back in one way or another in 2 weeks, likely with an episode nearing 2 hours as we like to do as a make up episode!

Thanks for being loyal listeners and see you in 2 weeks!

Tonight the show has Gyroplay at the helm. He manages to keep us a little more on topic as he keeps us to the three defined segments.

1st segment we talk a bit about board gaming in general. We hit on how our game collections have evolved and talk about “The colorblind meltdown” we had after recording episode 17.

Here is a link to the post on BGG which GeekJock wrote about developers taking more notice of colorblind gamers. In that thread you will also find links to a couple of the geek lists we mention on the show.

Also the store we walk about two stores we wanted to give love.

1st was out favorite FLGS in the area and online The Gamers Armory

And also please check out a cool store and blog in Indiana Game Paradise (and check out their blog and twitter too)

2nd segment we touch on some movies we watched this week, including some talk on “The Phanthom Menace” in 3D. We also talk about a bunch of non-mainstream trailers Gyroplay sent to the 3 of us to watch.

Here is the list if you want to look them up and a link on one of them.

The Sound of Noise. Very cool foreign film trailer check it out and try NOT to bop while you do so.

A couple others we mention are a bit graphic so I won’t link them but simply do a search on youtube and I am sure you can find em.

Juan of the Dead

Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter

The Raid (Quite graphic and violent)

The Trouble with Bliss

And the Video Game trailer we talked about was The Last of Us. A cool looking game with incredible production value.

In our third and quickest segment we touch on some more PC/video gaming. Dan and Red talk about where they are in SWTOR, some other MMO thoughts, and some talk about PC Gamer’s top 100 games of all time. Check it out!

As always feel free to e-mail us directly from the link at the top of our main page.
