PodCulture 183: The Golden Age of Geek – Part A

We welcome Andy back in to the studio for our 4th Anniversary Special!

Adam is waiting with all the patience of a kid on Christmas Eve for his new tv. He tells us about caving with his sister, which is neither for the thin of character or stout of body. Christina is happy with the winner of this season’s So You Think You Can Dance finale, and has begun watching The Tudors on Netflix Streaming. Andy does the Winter Break Happy Dance! He and his wife have been watching Doctor Who and Buffy, while he introduces his son to Farscape! Glenn has been playing so much Modern Warfare 2, he has decided to go back on his word to himself and go Prestige. Brad is working hard, during his most busy season on the job, and he and Christina share their hive mind moment with Fringe comic books.

What would a PodCulture Birthday Extravaganza be without Jones Soda?! We begin with three Jones Zero Calorie Zilch sugar free sodas. Pomegranate, Vanilla Bean and Black Cherry begin the stomach testing fun!

What is a birthday party without games? Andy begins our gaming segment with Modern Warfare 2, and Left 4 Dead, and lets slip that Assassins Creed may be coming from Santa. He is still playing City of Heroes/City of Villains, but has given up the ring on Lord of The Rings Online. Christina takes a moment to thank Kevin from Candywriter.com. She talks about the glitch in her favorite Imagine Poker game for the iPhone, and after writing to customer service, she has nothing but the best to say about the gang at Candywriter. For the great service Christina had, Brad had a bad turn with a Razor Lycosa keyboard he bought. Brad is still saving his last Left 4 Dead campaign for a really bad day, but all the guys are looking forward to The Passing, the union of the two sets of game zombie-killing posses. Andy asks for your casting suggestions for the dream-world “Left 4 Dead” movie. Brad is playing Phantasy Star Zero on the DS. Glenn tells us more about his exploring further in Modern Warfare. Christina pales in comparison to her gamer geekboys, but is ever in search of her next Virtual Villagers-type game.

Glenn returns in time to talk about movies and television. He starts out with Terminator Salvation, talking about the video game and movie combo. He and Carly have started watching Fringe, which excites Christina to no end. She wants him to watch the new Prisoner so he can explain things to her. Brad is finally getting into True Blood, and is catching up to where Christina and Adam have left off. Christina is in her bunk at the suggestion of a fight between Spike and Eric. (Ladies, take a moment to think about that one.) She and Brad are watching Law and Order: UK with Freema Agyeman and Jamie Bamber. Glenn is watching Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura. Brad is lamenting the cancellation of Dollhouse, but looking forward to the two hour blocks each Friday. Christina got weepy during the second-to-last episode of Glee. Adam is watching the usual Castle and Big Bang Theory, as well as Lock and Load. He is finally into the current season of Supernatural. He has watched Inglorious Bastards, and the gang discusses what we normally expect from Quentin Tarantino versus what the movie brings. Brad happily brought home Star Trek on blu ray.

In closing, Brad tries to convince Adam to buy a Nintendo DS. Christina suggests enjoying the outdoors before it gets seriously cold, and Adam hopes his job doesn’t deport him to Green Bay for training. The gang talks about their gamer tags on the 360, and the guys invite everyone to play Left 4 Dead 2. Brad gives you a sneak peek at the new PodCulture site at http://www.podculture.net and picks on Glenn one more time before we close.
