Geekbox Rules!

I've been listening to this podcast since the beginning and I can't recommend it enough. For anyone who hasn't heard it, here's a rundown of the cast of characters!

The show is hosted by the legendary Scott Ryan. You probably already know him from his current work at Gamespice. Sometimes it's a little confusing because there's two Scotts on the podcast, but don't worry. Just remember that Scott Ryan is the one that is always talking about playing 2000 Leagues Of Legends.

Next is Ryan Fitzsimmons. He is the owner and operator of Comics Conspiracy, a comedy club in Fremont, California. This is where the podcast is recorded every week! If you want to check out Comics Conspiracy for yourself, just go to Fremont and look for a store that used to be a yogurt shop. It's right next door! And hey, Geekbox crew, if you're reading this, here's an idea! Why not let an audience come in during the recording sessions! You have all that empty seating in that club! Come on, I'd be first in line if you do it!

Karen Chow is my favorite person on the podcast, mostly because I think she might be rich! She's never has to drive herself anywhere!! It makes me want to get into the game industry SO BAD. Also, she's super smart. I don't know what she looks like, but she probably has a huge cranium. If you're ever in Fremont and you see a girl with a giant head in back of a limo, just say, "Hey Karen Chow! Geekbox forever!"

Adam Birch has been on a lot lately, which is great because he sounds exactly like former Geekboxer Andrew Birch! I was a little shocked at first because they sound so much alike, but now it makes sense: they're father and son! Speaking of Andrew, I really miss his Birch Perch segments, where he'd tell us all about his adventures looking for a new pet bird. Hey Andrew, can you at least send an e-mail with some updates?

Lastly, there's been a couple of new regulars: Lisa Chang and Justin Griswald. They both work at whatsup.com. I don't know much about them yet because they're so new, but so far, they both sound like a couple of great dudes! Keep up the good work, guys!

An Excellent Start

I was a long time fan of GFW Radio, the first podcast I heard Ryan Scott on, and my favorite parts of those podcasts was when the group of guys went off on tangents into other geek territory aside from just games. This podcast is basically all of that with Ryan Scott hosting. He had some former 1up personalities on the first episode with the promise of more to come and I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode. In the first episode they covered everything from donuts to comic books to Lost and they were all enthusiastic about it. The group they had were fun to listen to and I'm glad Ryan is talking more, he's a really funny guy. The sound quality was excellent, though there were a few times when it was obvious someone had moved away from the microphone, but I expect things will get tighter as they get more experience doing this on their own. All in all, if you're into geek culture, this is definitely worth a listen.

I'm Out

I gave this podcast a fair shake, because I've always liked Ryan Scott. However, the more listened to it the more it became clear that they have nothing to say. Its kind of' sad to me that I'm even writing this, but I think that I owe it to them to give constructive criticism. I've been a geek my whole life. I love games and comics. I'm an encyclopedia of information when it comes to popular music (from modern indie to classic rock to hip-hop to classic country) and film. Listening to Geek Box is like listening to my friends from high school talk about these things instead of adults. They rarely have anything insightful to say on the subjects and often miss the subtleties of a given subject. For example, I listen to a lot of podcasts and among them are a few film ones. The discussion of Watchmen made me want to blow my brains out. Not only did they bring less to the table as fans of the comic (many of them seeming to have completely missed what would made the comic interesting) but they had nothing interesting to say about it as a film period. In high school I may have been less frustrated with the opinions tossed around on this podcast, but today I just can't take any more of this. You need to really put some thought into an opinion before you start to broadcast it. I guess I expected more from Ryan. Plus, I don't even watch burn notice and I'm sad to say that the fact that they think its great makes me want to see it LESS. That’s a bad sign. I'm sorry, but subscription cancelled. I wish I were a better writer so that I could make a better point.
