Happy Halloween!

Posted on October 31, 2011 by Joshua

Yes, Halloween is here and will soon be gone. If you remember, I committed at the beginning of the month to 31 days of horror. While I didn’t quite hit that mark, we did generally have more Halloween-centric stuff that in the past. Here’s a list of all the horror stuff we covered this month so have a great Halloween and get ready all you writers because NanoWriMo starts tomorrow!

Packrat and Ten Pin Alley’s Walking Dead Season 2 Premiere Party!

Posted on October 17, 2011 by Joshua

Last night was nothing but pure awesome. A bunch of us headed out to party at Ten Pin Alley with Packrat Comics and the undead while we eagerly awaited the season 2 premiere of The Walking Dead.

Hi, I’m Brandon and I am a Geek

Posted on October 15, 2011 by Brandon

Well hello to all of the GeeksPodcast readers! I want to start by thanking Joshua and the rest of the crew of GP for giving me a new place to hang my hat.

For those of you aren’t sure who I am, let me give you a bit of a back story: About 2 years ago a new site started called Front Towards Gamer. When they opened their doors I was asked to help admin the site and join on their weekly podcast FTGRadio.

As for my personal Geekness, I enjoy a bevy of things ranging from cartoons and movies to games and electronics. Each holds it own special place in my heart. There is something about new tech smell (anti-static bag), or the feel of a new game in your hands. It makes me a bit giddy. I do enjoy unboxing a great new toy.

I think that about sums it for this post. I look forward to giving you a taste of my thoughts on this most amazing of lifestyles that one can pick. I mean, come on, we have more heroes to pick from than the NFL/NHL/MBA/MLB combined!

Getting my Zombie on!

Getting my Zombie on!

Now, if you excuse me, I believe I have a monkey to smash, ghosts to chase, and oh yeah… a few classic cartoons to watch!

Come Bowl and Watch The Walking Dead with 199 Zombies

Posted on October 2, 2011 by Joshua

I’m dead serious (see what I did there?). In case you didn’t know, Packrat Comics is partnering with 10 Pin Alley in Hilliard on October 16th to have the biggest, baddest zombie bash ever- BUT we need your help to make it a success.

As it stands only about 40 people have bought tickets to attend. That’s awesome, but I think we can do better. It’s not just about supporting Packrat and Ten Pin Alley- I’m also being selfish because the most zombies I’ve ever been around at once I could probably count on one hand-

Well, physically anyways.

With that in mind, Nicole and I would love to hit the magic number of 200 not only because we love Jamie and Theresa over at Packrat, but also because we’re positively giddy at the thought of 200 zombies shuffling around and bowling. (I’m sure in light of reduced mobility we can sweet talk Ten Pin Alley into turning off lane violations.)

Tickets are $25 unless you bring a friend then you can get multiple tickets for only $20! Think about how much you paid to bowl the last time you went with normal people and then think that you’ll also get:

Unlimited bowling
Pizza
Live music
Zombie Hunts
Costume and Trivia contest
The Walking Dead season 2 premiere showing on every screen plus a projector outside
The chance to meet and party with Special Effects God Tom Sullivan of Evil Dead

If zombies aren’t your thing it won’t break our hearts if you don’t attend. What will break our hearts is if you don’t at least share this page with a friend or two who is nuts about zombies, bowling, or The Walking Dead.

Click here to purchase tickets online from Packrat OR you can buy them in person at Packrat Comics (Google maps link).

Also, anyone who can pick Nicole or I out of the crowd gets a free sticker! (Sorry, it’s the best we could do after we ran out of gold-plated caviar dishes).

See ya there!

Awesome Zombie Flash Mob Photos

Posted on May 18, 2010 by Joshua

Ever find yourself out and about, perhaps at The Potter Barn when all of a sudden a legion of the undead swarm your goofy ass when all you wanted to do was pick out a lovely duvet to match those curtains? Well, it’s happened to the best of us I’m afraid, but now you can view the chaos from the sound comfort of your office chair as you head over to Geek Army to check out a whole gallery of zombie flash mobs. I’m particularly fond of the zombie attack on the Scientologists, but there are a bunch of other funny ones too!

Gearing up for The Weekend…Literally

Posted on May 13, 2010 by Joshua

No, I’m not dressing up as a caterpillar in that picture, but I am enjoying the snuggly warmth of my new sleeping bag that I bought for this weekend. You see, in an effort to expose me to more of the world than what’s offered through my iMac display while I look at the Discovery Channel website, my friends are dragging me out on a camping trip tomorrow. So this weekend’s posting may be slow and I’ll likely come back to it on Sunday sometime and fill in the gaps. Also, I’m pleased to say we’ll be bringing multiple firearms just in case the zombie apocalypse happens in the midst of our absence. If this should happen, I’ll be writing messages to loved ones on the campground bathroom stalls a la Left 4 Dead. Alrighty, now where did I put those bear traps…

Borderlands DLC features Zombies

Posted on November 7, 2009 by Nicole

Gotta love cell-shaded zombies.

Like Silent Hill, World of Warcraft, BioShock or any of my other all-time favorites, I will constantly be keeping a tab on Borderlands because I’m so in love with it. And here is the first big news involving the game since its release a few weeks ago.

“The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned” will contain all new quests, enemies and items. Apparently, Dr. Ned’s skillz as a medic failed him when it came to the workers at Jakob’s Cove and ended up transforming them into zombies. Your job is to aid him in curing the undead creatures. In the new DLC you’ll encounter dudes that look like the Frankenstein thing from the picture and even “Were-Skags”. We at Geekspodcast are obligated to buy any video game or DLC containing zombie-like creatures.

Starting November 24 PS3 and XBOX 360-ers will be able to pick this up for $9.99 (or 800 Microsoft points). There are currently no details on the PC version yet, but who really wants to play Borderlands on PC?

Review: Zombieland

Posted on October 13, 2009 by Joshua

Zombieland, featuring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg, is the tale of a ragtag group of zombie apocalypse survivors as they make their way through what’s left of the now barren United States. Columbus (Eisenberg) is heading toward you guessed it- Columbus Ohio which is awesome in its own right. However, on his way he runs into Tallahassee who also is on his way to try and make sense of all the carnage and be at peace. Besides an insatiable desire to find Twinkies, the only thing Tallahassee finds more satisfying and natural is killing Zombies. As the two continue their journey they eventually run into Wichita (Emma Stone) and Little Rock (Abigail Breslin), her little sister and the four take on the open road in one of the most satisfying zombie romps in recent history.

We Won’t Survive the Zombie Apocalypse…

Posted on October 11, 2009 by Joshua

Zombies Or so say a couple of number-crunching Canadian scientists anyways, but what do they know what with their scientific methods, calculations, and ‘facts’? Apparently after doing some research they’ve concluded that based on zombies in popular fiction today and the rate at which disease spreads we would have just about zero chance for survival. Of course, this ignores the fact that I’m a well-trained undead-slaying mercenary of sorts. Don’t believe me? Look me up after it starts, I’ll be the guy in the cowboy hat with the sniper rifle holed up at the top of your local Denny’s eating grand slams while spraying undead gray matter all over the place. Ya know, on a side note- this little news story has inspired me. In the next week or two I will begin work on and fully explain how I will survive the zombie apocalypse when it happens. Until then you can read up more on what these ‘scientists’ have to say and ‘I’ will keep using ‘air quotes’ to ‘wrap this up.’

Stayin Busy

Posted on October 3, 2009 by Joshua

Dexter Nicole and I mean to podcast tomorrow (seriously this time) on account of having way more material to talk about. From Zombieland to Scribblenauts and the debut of the fourth season of Dexter, we’ve been keeping up on geekish things as much as we can as fall starts to kick off.

On a somewhat related note, we traded in some games yesterday at every gamer’s favorite, veritable pawn shop and are now in the process of deciding which games to purchase over the next couple of months. Chief among them (not speaking for Nicole at all necessarily) are DJ Hero, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, Brutal Legend, and Uncharted 2. Of course, before I’ll even think about all those I must finish Arkham Asylum and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance 2 or I just won’t respect myself in the morning.

What about you all? What games would you like to see us ramble on about?
