Geek Actually Ep068 – The Little Geek Segment

Here is the complete Little Geek section of this weeks show. Nicholas McVay is usually recorded separately from the main show as an audio exclusive but this week we took him live on the Ustream feed. The only thing abridged in this clip is the trailer to save time because of YouTube’s time limits.

News: NBC’s Leno Experiment a costly failure, Raimi and Maguire leave ‘Spider-Man 4’, ‘Clash of the Titans’ to feature music by Massive Attack and Jackie Earle Haley in talks to play Sinestro in ‘Green Lantern’. We also look at the new trailers for ‘The A-Team’, ‘Inception’ and ‘Kick-Ass’.

This Week in Television: We take a look at Matt Smith as the new Doctor in ‘Doctor Who’ and review the return of ‘Chuck’, was it worth saving? We think so.

This Week’s Feature Review: Peter Jackson unleashes his long awaited drama ‘The Lovely Bones’. For a change of pace, Josh defends the film as Dave Kozicki and David McVay ravage it. Final verdict, wait for DVD.

After the end music stick around for Nicholas ‘The Little Geek’ McVay’s review of ‘The Fantastic Mr. Fox’. He also fills us in on his latest animation efforts.

This episode carries an explicit tag due to infrequent coarse language.

Geek Actually Ep067 Highlights on YouTube

If you’ve only listened to The Geek Actually Podcast as an audio podcast, I’ve cut together this quick 10 min highlight reel from the last episode so you can get a feeling of what it is like to watch the live show. If this gets enough hits on YouTube we might publish one of these for every episode of The Geek Actually Podcast and The Platforms Podcast.

Platforms Episode 14 – No Hair Down There

PlatformsJosh Philpott, Dave Kozicki and Grant Noy (with David McVay).

Platforms is a gamers podcast by gamers. The podcast is recorded live on Ustream with chat interaction so come and join the fun as your host candidly discuss the latest in the gaming world. The podcast is uncensored, explicit, honest and very non ‘PC’. After a bandwidth impaired start we finally get underway with the Touch Me trailer for ‘Bayonetta’. Dave Kozicki and Josh Philpott are joined this episode by fellow gamer geek Grant Noy.

News This Week: Pornstar legend Ron ‘The Hedgehog’ Jeremy attacks violent games, ‘Halo Legend’ anime coming to Blu-Ray, Australia’s first dedicated video game bar opening soon, The ‘Metroid Prime Trilogy’ sold out, HD TVs to get the PSN, Fable 3 shown next month.

Coming Soon Titles: ‘Army of Two 2’ and ‘Mass Effect 2’

An odd little video from Playboy with Playmates trying to be Bayonetta leads us into our feature review.

Review of the Week: ‘Bayonetta’ gets the Platforms treatment. Grant has played it through and also compares PS3 version to Xbox360 version. Final verdict, this is for fans of Japanese style gaming, beautiful design and not for the casual gamer.

We have ended this week’s episode with a possible new theme written by Grant Noy. We need your help, do you like it or not? Send us a quick note to platforms@geekactually.com and let us know.
