We do dorkdom Big Apple style.
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.
You asked for it.
Valentine’s Day is here again, and the New York Geeks take another stab at deciphering the interaction between nerds of both genders. We also take calls from our loyal listeners, and hopefully dole out advice that could help make for a relatively eventful Valentine’s weekend. That is, if you consider listening to a podcast an event.
Show Notes:
We just recorded a great episode where a bunch of our listeners called in sharing
their stories, questions and advice on geek love. Thanks to them, we had a
great time.
We’re going to be editing it this weekend, so that when Valentine’s Day rolls around
you have a lil’ somethin’ somethin’ to listen to while you cozy up together with your geeky dates.
…Don’t worry, it’s not Ghostbusters 2. We swear it’s better. Plus, no Yanoosh.
Thanks again to our listeners for calling in and making this record such a good time!
Do you love big hair and shoulder pads? Or is flannel and ripped jeans more your style?

There can only be one!
NOTE: Thanks to Steve Spears of the Stuck in the ’80s podcast.

This Thursday, we will be recording episode 27 of the New York Geekcast, “Media Overload”.
We’ll be discussing how there’s way too many games, movies, shows, books, and albums that we’re trying to find time to play, watch, watch, read, and listen to. That is, if we can decide which of the dozens of multimedia players out there we want to consume this media on.
If you’ve got questions or other remarks on this episode, either leave us a comment on this post or shoot an e-mail to thegeeks@nygeekcast.com. Or find us on Facebook and Twitter. Thanks!
In true Rob Gordon fashion, we have assembled a list of the top geek bands/musicians/recording artists out there. Do your favorites make the cut? Also featured is an interview with “Geek Love Songs” auteur Errol Elumir, as well as another edition of our “Would You Rather?” contest.
