PodCulture 164: Soylent Twinkies – Part B

Christina opens the show with a throwback to old school Sesame Street, and sends her condolences to her friend, Rhonda and family. The gang spends a moment mourning John Hughes. What was your favorite Hughes movie?

Glenn talks about the XBox 360 update. We agree that there needs to be giveaway shirts for the avatars. Christina is coveting the Monkey Island game for the 360. If Glenn wasn’t podcasting he’d be home playing the Call of Duty: World at War map pack. Adam tells us about new downloadable content for Left 4 Dead. He’s been playing Eve Online, and Brad’s looking forward to the Star Trek MMO. Christina bought Oregon Trail for her iPhone, is enjoying AppMiner, and Brad is playing IDiggit on his.

Geek Cuisine is the perfectly purple diet Mountain Dew Ultraviolet.

Glenn is watching Warehouse 13, and the gang wonders about Stargate Universe (or as Adam calls it “Battlegate Voyager”). Battlestar Galactica: The Movie is coming! Brad and Christina watched the entire series of Merlin and began to watch Robin Hood. Adam is loving Better Off Ted, and FINALLY got to watching frelling Farscape! He’s looking forward to Ghost In The Shell:Stand Alone Complex. Christina needs to catch up with Robot Chicken. We’re all massively excited about Iron Man 2, and there are mixed feelings about Sherlock Holmes. Glenn’s finished Moonlight and is catching up with Dresden Files and Tru Calling. Brad points out a shout out to Dresden Files in a Supernatural novel. Christina’s finished the fifth season of So You Think You Can Dance.
We’re all looking forward to District 9. Glenn’s seen G.I. Joe and he gives us his review.

In closing, Christina and Brad want to see Super Capers. Glenn lets us know about the open beta for Aion, and wishes Marvel Comics a happy 70th birthday! Christina’s read Green Lantern: Rebirth. Brad suggests Y: The Last Man, Walking Dead and Invincibles. Adam tells us about kayaking, caving in Mammoth Cave and white water rafting.

PodCulture 163: Soylent Twinkies – Part A

Christina opens this week talking about her new favorite show, Lie To Me, and Glenn’s got a gaggle of frogs at his house. Adam’s is the home for wayward computers, and has recycled twice his weight in old parts. Brad’s been updating three (count them three) computers in the past week!

We’re technogeeks, and Adam reminds us why as he gives us a full review of his new Palm Pre. He talks about battery life, screen response, app selection and more. The boys talk about the sparring between Palm and iTunes, and how Brad’s iPhone has died yet another death. Brad’s been playing Dr. Frankenstein with computers, and has opened an operating room on the kitchen table. Glenn’s had his main pc at home get the red ring of death, so he’s switched Windows 7. Adam’s got his Pre, Brad’s got his iPhone 3G, and Glenn’s got an AT&T Tilt. Glenn’s thinking about an iPhone and Christina’s eyeing the 3GS. What do you think? Do you have them, love them, hate them? Let us know!

Geek Cuisine is a two pack of goodness, as we enjoy Strawberry Creme Twinkies.
