Just a quick note to let you know that earlier this week I was the guest on Brad Anderson’s new podcast, ‘Right This Instant’. Brad was the co-founder and  former host (and now a re-occurring guest) of The Movie Fan Cast. His new podcast is a film discussion show where he picks a film from [...]

New Release Schedule for the Podcasts

Posted by David McVay on August 29, 2010 at 12:28 pm

Just a quick one to let you all know about the new release schedule for the podcasts. We have been releasing the audio podcasts on Sunday (Film Actually), Monday (Tech Actually) and Wednesday (Geek Actually After Show). I thought it was a little unfair to punish the tech listeners by delaying the show by an [...]

For Love Of The Game Episode 2 – Making Enemies Out Of Friends

Posted by stubby on August 27, 2010 at 12:38 am

My all time favourite video game industry story starts with the 2 major video game heavyweights of the late 1980’s and early 1990′s, Sega and Nintendo. Sega, back in the day when they actually made consoles, were quite a gutsy and ambitious bunch. They were the first to bring an 8-bit console to the home [...]

Filled with Whedon-y Goodness

Posted by Calum on August 25, 2010 at 8:08 pm

Could you be a Whedonite? It can be hard to tell but if you’ve ever watched an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer or become inexplicably obsessed with Nathan Fillion you have already succumbed. You might not even have heard of the writing, directing and producing extravaganza that is Joss Whedon. But you’ve almost certainly [...]

Avatar: The Really, Really Special ‘Can I Squeeze Another Dollar Out Of You’ Edition

Posted by David McVay on August 25, 2010 at 12:16 pm

Okay, we have talked about this on the podcast but I am just going to say that I hate the way Fox is milking ‘Avatar’. Hasn’t the film made enough money? I have been boycotting the first DVD/Blu-Ray release of this film because it is in the wrong screen format (1.85:1 instead of it’s native [...]

Here are the pictures we discussed on this weeks Tech Actually (ep 97) of Josh and Me performing surgery on Grace (our production iMac). There are 16 photos total and I have tried to place the pictures in roughly the same order we discussed them. Listen to the episode for more details about the photos.

Funny Stuff: An 8 year old explains The Expendables

Posted by David McVay on August 23, 2010 at 10:25 am

This is absolute gold, College Humor has just posted this video of an 8 year old explaining what The Expendables is about. Just watch and enjoy. This is even funnier if you listen to the chaos that was our review of the film in episode 97 of Film Actually. This kid did a better job [...]

For Love of the Game Episode 1 – Press Start

Posted by stubby on August 19, 2010 at 7:00 am

Have you ever stopped to think about how amazing the whole “gamer” thing has gone from being shunned 10 years ago to being such an everyday hobby? I remember being called a nerd, dork, or a freak just because I enjoy playing video games when I was in high school. Now, if you bring up [...]
