As discussed on this weeks After Show (episode 83 of the Geek Actually Podcast After Show), here is the Lego animated film of the Star Wars Saga in 2 minutes. This is a really clever film by a very clever kid. Enjoy. Hear what we have to say about it in the After Show available on iTunes tomorrow.

Geek Actually Replay – Platforms Episode 31 Live Show
Every week we record the Platforms Podcast while feeding it live to Ustream. We record the Ustream feed and it is available go back and watch later if you want. It occurred to me that we should just embed the past shows here so you can find them easily. You never know, you’re listening to that podcast and something visual happens, now you can simply find the show here and watch what happened. Enjoy.
Platforms Episode 31 (Recorded 10th of May 2010)

Long Live Joss Whedon – This is Friggin’ Funny
This video has surfaced (Thanks Suze for pointing me to it) to counter the stupid Restoring Stephen Balwin video. I don’t know about you, but it made me laugh out loud.
Let me know what you thought of it in the comments below.

Kevin Rudd May Shelve Internet Censorship
For over a year we have been harping on about The Australian Internet Censorship Filter, and finally there is light at the end of the tunnel. The Australian newspaper reported last week that The Rudd Government is sitting on the policy for the moment and would not introduce the policy in this month’s or June’s sitting of parliament. This was confirmed by a spokesperson for the Communications Minister Stephen Conroy. After that there is not another sitting of parliament until August, which will probably be the last sitting before the election. This means there is a very good chance that the policy will not be introduced until after the election, if at all. Hooray!
Now, before we start patting ourselves on the back and thinking that this all over, they didn’t say that they are dropping it all together, they are just delaying it. I think that the huge number of people who signed the introduction of an R18+ rating for games petition (89,000 signatures) plus the petition to stop internet censorship (126,189 signatures) by GetUp.org.au has started to make the government nervous. Each of those signatures could equate to a lost vote! Continue reading

Geek Actually Replay – Geek Actually Episode 83 Live Show
Here is this weeks live video version of The Geek Actually Podcast Episode 83 – T.G.I.F. This week David McVay, Josh Philpott and Brandon McLelland review the Swedish film ‘The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’. The audio podcast of this episode can be found on this site or on iTunes. Just a quick note about this episode, we had trouble with our usual encoder when we were going live so the video quality this week is probably a little jumpy.
Almost every week we record the Geek Actually Podcast while feeding it live to Ustream. We record the Ustream feed and it is available go back and watch later if you want. It occurred to me that we should just embed the past shows here so you can find them easily. You never know, you’re listening to that podcast and something visual happens, now you can simply find the show here and watch what happened. Enjoy. (Note: We only started recording the feed as of episode 46, there are no videos of earlier shows.)
