Being friends with me can be annoying at times, but there’s always a chance I might show up at your place like this.
Topics this episode include a large Rock Band discussion, Jones and his PS3 experiences, Ben’s brief red-ring-of-not-death, the lack of Anti-Aliasing in newer games and a few other random ramblings of nonsense. Sorry it was a few days late…
It finally happened – Jones’ Xbox bought the farm! So in light of this tragic event we came up with the following spoof intro:

Ironically my sister’s boyfriend’s Xbox just returned from Texas as well. Guess I’m next…
Anyway topics this week include retail customer service, why does it suck so / stories of the Fabled Chip Smashers, Assasin’s Creed: The Sci-Fi game and other musings and postulations. We also plead for Robert Zemeckis to pick up a film camera again, though according to Jones Beowulf turned out to be pretty cool. Perhaps I shall check it out this weekend…

Enjoy…
Jones and Derek pose for one of several million costume reference photos in Port Washington. (OK it was more like 32 costume changes but that’s still a lot)
Welcome back for yet another podcast. We deliberately came up with no topics whatsoever in order to create a show of pure rambling, since people tend to enjoy it when we go off-topic. Overall we ended up talking about movies quite a bit, including several of the ideas we have for new movies of our own, including a plot for Port Washington 2 (which there is zero chance of me making, BTW)
Hopefully it’s not too boring and will give you some insight into our “brainstorming” process. Enjoy…
Here it is, at long last, the podcast about mysteries, Bigfoot, aliens, ghosts, Mothmen (or women) and things of that nature. We even managed to do an intro again! Enjoy…
As mentioned a few times in the past our next topic is going to have nothing to do with technology or gaming. Instead we’re going to discuss “Mysteries of the Unexplained” – a podcast devoted to urban legends, ghosts, Nasca lines, Biblical Aliens, Jersey Devils and things of that nature. We’ll throw in Ressurection Mary, Area 51 and Bigfoot while we’re at it. Just in time for Halloween, no less!
Film photo taken by myself in 2003 to use up the last shot on a roll. WTF is that blue thing in the corner? Appears on negative too. Photo buffs please chime in!
What I’d like from our fans and listeners are some suggestions of other mysterious items in history to discuss. Talk about them below and we’ll pick some to bring back on the podcast. Whenever possible, try for some fringe-yet-somewhat-known mysteries, like “Was the Ark of the Covenent a Killer Static Capacitor Built by Moses?” rather than typical stuff like the Loch Ness Monster or Atlantis. Should be a fun time, I’m looking forward to it…
It’s been a while so we’ve cranked out another video podcast but as promised (threatened?) here’s another one. It covers mostly our topics at Geek.kon but I’ve thrown in some other stuff, as well as a commercial, to spice things up a bit. We didn’t have time to do as much as we liked, but hopefully it’s not too boring.
Topics include Alien VS Aliens, which is better, our Halo 3 tales and finally Independent Filmmaking aka “Horror Stories from Port Washington”. Some fan requests have been considered for the making of this episode, so you’ve been warned.

Been a bit busy finishing the fight, almost forgot to post that Jason Jones (podcast co-host) and I will be speaking at Geek Kon in Madison, WI this Sunday the 7th of October. I am doing a panel first, RE my gaming stuff, then Jones and I will be doing a “live” video podcast discussion where topics will include our indy filmmaking horror stories and an argument over which of the first 2 “Alien” movies is better.
We’ll probably also be around a little before, between and after our shows if you’d like to shoot the breeze or have us sign crap. For more info visit their site at geekkon.net.
