It might not truly be the best podcasting ever but we manage to go over Dan’s pet peeve for movie length of 90 mins.

Tonight we discuss that, along with a ton of other great things. We touch on a huge variety of topics including:

–The CES from last month in Vegas

–MMO news

–Kickstarter talk, how high can VivaJava go, and is there a different project never meant to be funded on KS right now?

–Some movies we saw this week

Aand of course we talk about our play last week of Viva Java which we did after the last recording. It’s another all over the map goodness of podcasting!

Well, the stars finally aligned and we have a date for our next recording. It originally was set to be recording Monday evening but a snafu with Mrs. GeekJock’s work schedule has pushed recording back to Wednesday.

So stay tuned loyal listeners, we shall be posting Wed night or early Thursday to iTunes.

It should be a good one with our best Movies/Games/Video Games/MMO’s etc all wrapped into one episode and our ranting on them as well! We prolly will be throwing in some worst lists as well.

Our sincerest apologies for the delay in recording but hopefully we will be back with our regular every other week recordings for some time now. And with any luck some more board game reviews too!

See everyone Thursday am!

Tonight we try and make up for the short episode last week. It is a bit longer then we have in a while touching in at just under 2 hours but it’s still a great listen and a ton of fun!

We re-cap more of our personal experiences from the 24 hour marathon for charity. Each one of us talks about the one game that stood out the most to us that we played in the event. I have put a video of each below for you to check out and see if you like them. Please check them out as they are ALL great games.

We also get back into some TV talk and chat up a bunch of movies we have watched this month. Some old and some new and as always some Red Box!

And as always we want to say we love BACON.

First video is of Paul’s pick Pillars of the Earth. A great worker placement game.

Next up is one of GeekJock’s picks Alien Frontiers. This video is from Paul Springer AKA Uvula Bob. I put it up here b/c his videos rock, and it’s a huge shame he stopped doing them. But you should get some laughs and for other great reviews from him check out his youtube page for the back catalog

Last but certainly not least is Todd’s pick of Belfort! For this one I go with the KING of HD reviews Drakkenstrike AKA Jeremy Salinas. His reviews are second to none and give a great overview of whats in the box and some general how to play on most games.

That’s all for now please check us out next time when we will likely have our end of year best and worst of 2011 episode!

Tonight we had the pleasure of welcoming Chris from Dice Hate Me Games to the Show.

Download it on iTunes or HERE

We had a blast shooting the bull and talking all things board gaming and movies with him.As always my unique brand of no topic is anywhere near connected is used! Not sure how I get so random but it sure makes for some great conversation!

We also talk about our first play of Alien Frontiers. Love it? Hate it? You will have to listen and see!

We wanted to thank Chris again for coming down to record and play some games with us and hope we might be able to bribe him with beer to be a pretty regular guest. Please check his site out at Dice Hate Me, and his podcast with Monkey238 called The State of Games.

Next episode will be from the 24 hour Board Game marathon for charity (www.gamersforcures.com if you would like to donate click HERE) where we will be recapping the 1st half of the event and interviewing Scott and Crystal from the Gamers Armory. Please check it out!
