NYGC Episode 30 – Video Games As Art

David — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 04:01:03 +0000

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.

NYGC Episode 29: Macking For Geeks Part 2: Mack Harder

David — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 08:49:06 +0000

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.

Do you love big hair and shoulder pads? Or is flannel and ripped jeans more your style?

In this episode we pit our two favorite decades against each other in four categories- Audio, Visual, Playable, and Overall. Who will you root for?

There can only be one!

NOTE: Thanks to Steve Spears of the Stuck in the ’80s podcast.

These shoes...this subway....this platform....They're mine, BITCH!

In this little small bit of magic David Pagano and Sarah Wickliffe attend A Night To ReMEMEber….

Where people went to M1-5 bar in downtown NYC, dressed up as their favorite memes or viral video star for the pre-Internet Week costume party!

Featuring an interview with the organizers, Kenyatta (of KnowYourMeme.com) and Kelly (of Urlesque.com).

NYGC Episode 17 – Quackintosh

Nelson — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 12:14:57 +0000

And they love each other…..aw shucks.

In this episode we discuss what we love/hate about Apple, Microsoft and everything in between. We also try in vain to get Ben Oviatt on Skype and somehow relate everything to ducks and quacking!

We also have a new segment called “Where’s Nelson?!?” where you listen to an audio clip (in episode) of me describing a location that you have to guess. You can e-mail us at thegeeks@nygeekcast.com with the answer and if you guess the location correctly you’ll get a cool prize.
