This past week, I was a call-in contestant on The Urly Show, a podcast hosted by our friends at Urlesque. (You might remember them as being partly responsible for various NYC meme parties, which we’vecoveredbefore.)
Anyhow, in true NY geek fashion, I took part in a “Name that Video” quiz, in which I was required to recognize recent viral internet videos based on audio alone. You can check out the video below to see how I did…
You can find more of The Urly Show on iTunes or Urlesque.com, and you can also follow Urlesque on Facebook and Twitter. Thanks for having me on the show, guys!
Nelson, Andrew and I will be attending the PAX East 2010 event in Boston next weekend, March 26th-28th. We’ll be trying to cover as much as we can as we wander around through the masses of gamers and games. What is PAX East, you might ask? For the uninitiated:
“PAX East is a three-day game festival for tabletop, videogame, and PC gamers. We call it a festival because in addition to dedicated tournaments and freeplay areas we’ve got nerdcore concerts, panel discussions, and an exhibitor hall filled with booths displaying the latest from top game publishers and developers. Even with all this amazing content the best part of PAX East is hanging out with other people who know their shit when it comes to games.”
So if you’re going, be sure to look for us, and if not, you can check out our coverage here. If you have any questions or suggestions on things we should definitely see, leave us a comment or drop us an e-mail. We’ll see you there!
Can video games be considered works of art? That’s the question on the minds of the New York Geeks in this double-length episode. Come with us as we amble through a discussion that covers a history of art and gaming, criticism, context, artists’ intent, and Mortal Kombat.
We also finally reveal the winner of our second “Would You Rather?” contest, as well as kick off the third. If you’ve got a good answer, make sure to e-mail it to us at thegeeks@nygeekcast.com.
ComicsAlliance has declared it “Girl Week”, and, as such, provides us with their list of notable super-heroines, and where they fall in the spectrum of awesome.
What is Superpup? It’s an unaired pilot from 1958 in which all the characters from Superman are portrayed by little people in dog costumes. You’re welcome.
The New York Geekcast is hosted by Nelson Diaz and David Pagano. These two self-proclaimed nerds (along with their friends) cover anything and everything dorky -- movies, music, comics, video games, television -- while bringing a unique New York sensibility to it all.
