Microsoft Bumps Xbox Live Gold to $59.99

Posted by: Joshua In: Games

Oh Microsoft, does your lust for our wallets know no bounds? Sony fanboys will likely be foaming at the mouth, ready to blast us for not having access to free online play, but I’ll tolerate it. Do you know why? Because it’s still the best online service available for gamers. Say what you will about [...]

My First Article at Wrecked Gamer

Studies into Standard – Budget Decks

Posted by: JB Martin In: Games

Greetings to everyone out there reading this, and welcome to another exciting episode of Studies into Standard. During the entirety of this article, it is my mission to give a few standard decklists that don’t break the bank. Now, (and I know this is obvious) I want to mention that these decks are not the [...]

Studies into Standard: U/W Control

Posted by: JB Martin In: Games

The following is a guest post by JB Martin, a friend I met at my most recent Friday Night Magic event.  Aside from just being a great guy, his knowledge of Magic makes mine look laughable by comparison so I was overjoyed to have him bring his experience to GeeksPodcast and give us some sound [...]

What is Icarus? Find out Today!

Posted by: Joshua In: Games

I have absolutely no idea what’s in store for us, but Bioshock developer Irrational Games is content to tease us until 1:45PM today.  Prior to a few days ago, the site WhatIsIcarus.com revealed only a black screen, some fog, and a white blob of questionable origins.  However, today it can be seen that some announcement [...]

My First Friday Night Magic Event

Posted by: Joshua In: Games

While I’ve attended prelaunch parties before for The Rise of the Eldrazi and the 2011 Core Set, I’d yet to go to a Friday Night Magic event.  Typically these happen on Friday nights (obviously) at game stores all across the country.  Because I’ve yet to find one in Dublin, I’ve been heading to Magic events [...]

Unboxing the Starcraft 2 Collector’s Edition

Posted by: Joshua In: Games

It was a dark and stormy night…actually it was a fairly clear 68 degree night but it felt dark and stormy because Jon made sure to remind Nicole and I last night that Starcraft 2 was launching at midnight.  After a few seconds of consideration, we ultimately conceded to his sad puppy dog face and [...]

What to Bring to a Magic the Gathering Tournament

Posted by: Joshua In: Games

This is a guide for people who are entering their first tournament. I realize most of this information is well known to you grizzled, veteran plansewalkers out there, but it’s info I wish somebody would’ve told me before I started so I thought it might be helpful for anyone curious about what to bring. I’ve [...]

I Can’t Wait for Limbo

Posted by: Joshua In: Games

No I’m not referring to the tortuous afterlife at the edge of Hell reserved for the damned, but rather the Xbox Live Arcade title launching tomorrow.  Of course, given the title for all I know it actually does take place in the edge of Hell, but therein lies the mystique. If you haven’t heard, Limbo [...]

It’s 1:31AM as I write this and I couldn’t be happier to be up and beaming about all of the new cards I picked up.  Courtesy of The Guardtower, I just picked up 2 booster boxes and 2 Fat Packs from the 2011 Core Set.  So what did I do?  Naturally I ripped all of [...]

  • Nicole: Welcome :) I hope you enjoyed writing with us! We'd love to do more guest posts. If I knew more about Magic strategy I'd probably understand this post
  • Joshua: @JB Ahem, I had Reassembling Skeletons there the whole time! See? I uh, meant to do that...yeah... :p
  • JB: Just to let you know, with your comments about Demon of Death's Gate, you can't regenerate creatures that you sacrifice. So Dredge Skeletons wouldn't
