Ep #00115 - Top Things of 2013! (also, goodbye)
<p>Well folks, this is it (for now). Perpetual Geek Machine as we know it in this form is shutting down. It's been a grand run of 115 episodes, most of which we're really proud of. In addition to feeling a bit jaded about how hard it can be to get your podcast into peoples' ears the crew here has also been lucky to be saddled with not one, not two, but 3 baby geeks. While this is certainly cause for celebration, it's also a sobering reminder of our dwindling free time that's only going to grow smaller with 3 new geeklings in the wild. So, best to send the site off rather than see it putter out. We'll still be kicking around online on twitter and and still be stomping around at PAX East though.</p> <p>For out final show we've got a banger on our hands. It's something of a tradition around these parts. We all sit down and come up with a personal "Top 5" list for the year. Then we share them all, debate them out and come up with 1 singular thing we think it's the top "thing" of the year. Previous winners include The Muppets return movie and the Mars Rover. What takes home the crown this year? Listen and find out!</p> <p>As we put the show behind us and lock up as we leave, it behooves me to thank each and every one of you that listened to a show, or commented on a post or interacted with us in any way. We enjoyed it, and hope you did to. Not going to say goodbye, because I bet at some point we power this beast back up and see if she still runs.</p> <p>Love live the Geek!</p>


Ep #00114 - Trains, Doctor Who and Almost Human
<p>A few weeks back at game night Adam and Dan were talking excitedly about the upcoming Doctor Who 50th anniversary episode. Rich, having never seen the show asked some questions about it and where he could jump in. Dan maintains that you can basically jump in anywhere, and Rich took him up on that by watching the 50th without ever having seen anything else. So, did he like it?</p> <p>A new deck building game with an interesting twist of adding board component called Trains get discussed, as well as a spat of TV shows including Almost Human, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Sons of Anarchy and The Wire.</p>


Ep #00113 - Frozen, PS Vita & XCOM
<p>A few shows back Dan said he wanted a PS Vita but shouldn't get one, but he's not sure how strong his willpower was to not buy one. Kevin said it wasn't good.</p> <p></p> <p>This week Dan talks about his new PS Vita.</p> <p></p> <p>Also, the new Disney movie Frozen.. which is relevant to Dan's interests. There was a huge X-COM expansion released recently, which is relevant to Ryan's interests. The year and Perpetual Geek Machine is drawing to a close (at least in it's current form). If you've got topics you'd like to hear us talk about let us know!</p> <ul> <li>Frozen, the movie and the crime of shitty marketing.</li> <li>Playstation Vita, Tearaway and other games worth playing on the system.</li> <li>XCOM: The expansion so big it's kind of a standalone thing.</li> </ul>

Ep #00105 - Steamworld Dig to Dungeon Roll
<p>Hahahaha! Dan's in a far away land, traveling by sea so I get a chance to really muck things up around here. Of course, that means I had to assemble a crew that would be trustworthy enough to keep the ship upright while I'm at the helm.

Ep #00103 - Teaching Podcasting 101 to Kids
<p>I know we say quite often that is isn't one of our "normal" shows but this time that's actually true. This past week Kevin, Dan and Adam taught a class at the local library called Podcasting 101 aimed at kids and teens. While we anticipated slightly older teens and had a somewhat technical presentation ready, we quickly realized that these kids were both a bit young and inexperienced in the world of podcasting. So we focused more on what podcasting means to us, what we think it affords us and what we get out of it. After that, we coaxed a few of the kids onto the mic to talk to them a bit, ask about what they're into and see how they felt behind the mic.</p> <p>Some of the audio might be a bit rough in spots, but you'll have to excuse the kids enthusiasm of sometimes not realizing that you have to get pretty close to the mic.</p> <p>A good time was had by all and hopefully we inspired a few of the kids to maybe try a show of their own.</p> <p><strong>Podcasting 101</strong>- (3:26 - 36:00)</p> <p><strong>Tech Stuff</strong>- (36:00 - 57:04)</p> <p><strong>Guests:</strong></p> <ul> <li>David - (57:35 - 1:03:54)</li> <li>Liron - (1:03:55 - 1:17:00)</li> <li>Trey - (1:17:01 - 1:35:18)</li> <li>Amanda & Amber - (1:35:19 - 1:45:13)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Goodbyes</strong>- (1:45:14 - End)</p> <p><em>Total Run Time - 1:48:22</em></p>


Ep #00102 - Doctor Who Dropchord Curiosity
<!--more--> <p>Here's one of those shows that we love to do, the kind that has a little bit of everything for everyone. There are books, video games, card games, movies and comic books on the agenda this evening. Oh man, this was a fun one folks. We didn't have too much in the way of "things" to talk about, so we went with a looser approach instead of the normal rundown. Because of this we get about 30 minutes of talk about the new Doctor Who, without ever really talking about Doctor Who. And somewhere in the middle I (Dan Z) went on a bit of a rant about what I think is wrong with the internet. Like, in general. I got pretty amped up about it actually. Kevin told me it was hilarious when he edited the show together. So there ya go.</p> <p>Also, it's the 1 year anniversary of Curiosity on Mars, so our break music from The Doubleclicks and 5 Hit Combo topic help us celebrate this awesome fact.</p> <p><strong>What'cha Been Doing</strong>- (5:28)</p> <ul> <li>Shh, the NSA might be listening</li> <li>New Doctor announced</li> <li>Dropchord</li> <li>Pivvot</li> <li>Marvel card game: Legendary</li> </ul> <p><strong>Break</strong>- <a href="http://thedoubleclicks.bandcamp.com/album/lasers-and-feelings" target="_blank">"Imposter" from Lasers and Feelings - The Doubleclicks</a> (1:03:13) <strong>5 Hit Combo</strong>(1:08:50)</p> <ul> <li>Top 5 things I figured they woulda found on Mars by now</li> <li>Adam Vs.

Ep #00100 - A Love Letter to Game Shows
<!--more--> <p>This is sort of amazing everyone. 100 episodes of the Perpetual Geek Machine. For a show that started bi-weekly back in 2010 I'm pretty damn proud of what we've done here. We've added greatly to the cast of characters here over time but I can honestly say the show is getting better all the time. I thank you sincerely for listening, and please tell your friends!</p> <p>We talk about the special milestone of the show a bit, but all in all we keep a pretty regular schedule, though we took the chance to blow way over time. The show should've been a tad shorter, but a few of us ended up having a good chat during the "intermission" so we left that in post end music.

Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast - TheBBPS Jeopardy Flashback
<p>Some required context for this one. Perpetual Geek Machine has been around since 2010. But in 2006 we used to be called The Bits, Bytes, Pixels & Sprites (or TheBBPS for short) and had a podcast there called "The Bitcast" which ran for 90 episodes.</p> <p>During one of those episodes we decided to play a little game of Jeopardy, and then co-host <a href="https://twitter.com/jimmycanuck" target="_blank">Jim Squires</a> (now editor in chief of <a href="http://www.gamezebo.com/" target="_blank">Gamezebo.com</a>) came up with questions and played host while Ryan, Kevin & Dan all played. Hard to believe this happened all the way back in 09.</p> <p>Here's the original description:</p> <p><em>"Listen and play along as Jimmy “Alex Quebec” Squires quizzes us about all things games. The categories and questions (or should I say answers?) are top notch all through out. We can’t tell you who wins or who we even play for so you’re gonna have to listen to find out. We learn a lot about the crew on this one. Ryan’s complete and utter lack of how Jeopardy! works, Dan’s deep knowledge of the movie War Games, Kevin’s ability to pull answers right out of his ass and Jimmy’s unhealthy obsession with certain celebrities. Hopefully it’s as much fun to listen to as it was to record. Enjoy! Thanks one more time to Jim for putting this together!"</em></p> <p></p> <p><em>Total Run Time - 1:06:40</em></p>

Best of 5 Hit Combo #00001
<p>Bit of a different setup this week. Conflicting schedules, lack of interesting things to talk about, and a strong desire to cherry pick the back catalog resulted in this, our first Best of 5 Hit Combo episodes. We're roughly 90 episodes into this mess, and we've been doing 5 Hit Combo since episode 1. In all those episodes, a few have yielded some truly funny segments. Dan has plucked a few of his favorites, and conscripted Kevin into editing them together so we can re-serve them up to you.

Ep #00089 - Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast
<p>This week's show is very largely about Bioshock Infinite. While we stay as spoiler free as possible, especially since only 1/3rd of the people talking about it have completed it, we just wanted to state that up front. If you want to play the game and go in TOTALLY fresh you may want to skip over that segment of the show. I sense a spoiler filled podcast in the future about the game, but that won't be for a little bit.</p> <p><strong>What'cha Been Doing</strong>(3:10)</p> <ul> <li>Bioshock Infinite</li> <li>Timeline</li> <li>Machine of Death</li> </ul> <p><strong>Break</strong>(34:40)</p> <ul> <li>"God Only Knows" - (Bioshock Infinite Barbershop Quartet version)</li> </ul> <p><strong>5 Hit Combo</strong>(37:17)</p> <ul> <li>Top 5 places to take a first date</li> <li>Kevin Vs.

EP #00087 – Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast
<p>This is a bit of a weird one, not only in day of delivery but in itinerary and cast as well. We set up shop in the bar of the Westin hotel in Boston, attached to the BCEC where PAX East 2013 was in swing and just recorded a podcast. Then we played some Cards Against Humanity. Most of us consumed alcohol the entire time.</p> <p>I wore a fez for a good part of the evening and I'd by lying if I said a horse head mask didn't make an appearance. We had some friends drop in, some listeners stop by and more. The whole night is a bit hazy so I'm not totally sure who was there when we actually recorded, but if you're in the show you'll know who you are.</p> <p>Here's the breakdown on where to find/follow us online!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-geek-machine/id308775930" target="new">iTunes</a> | </strong><strong><a href="mailto:podcast@perpetualgeekmachine.net">email</a> | </strong><strong><a href="http://twitter.com/perpetualgeek">Twitter</a> |</strong> <strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/PerpetualGeek" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | </strong><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on Google Plus" href="https://plus.google.com/b/114597972580040099708/" target="_blank">Google+</a> | </strong><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine Tumblr" href="http://perpetualgeekmachine.tumblr.com">Tumblr</a> | </strong><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on YouTube" href="http://www.youtube.com/perpetualgeekmachine" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | </strong><strong><a href="tel:856-282-0042">856-282-0042</a></strong></p> <p><!--more-->Show Notes!!</p> <p><strong>What'cha Been Doing</strong></p> <ul> <li>Live from PAX East 2013</li> </ul> <p><em>Total Run Time - 1:04:07</em></p>

Regular listeners of the show should remember that not very long ago I (Dan) gave Adam a far amount of shit for watching Doctor Who. Well, I've watched 7 seasons of the show in roughly 4 weeks, so it's safe to say my opinion has changed. I come clean here with Adam and you listeners, and make my case for why it's an awesome show. You might also call this "eating crow." Hey man, I'm never above admitting when I'm wrong. I was wrong about Doctor Who and am full blown Whovian now.</p> <p>Outside of that Kevin continues he tumble down the homebrew hole, and Rich and I warp through space in SpaceTeam.</p> <p><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine: Episode #00084" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/perpetualgeek/PGM_Show00084.mp3" target="_blank">Here's the link to give Perpetual Geek Machine: Show #00084 a listen!</a></strong></p> <p>Here's the breakdown on where to find/follow us online!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-geek-machine/id308775930" target="new">iTunes</a> | </strong><strong><a href="mailto:podcast@perpetualgeekmachine.net">email</a> | </strong><strong><a href="http://twitter.com/perpetualgeek">Twitter</a> |</strong> <strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/PerpetualGeek" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | </strong><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on Google Plus" href="https://plus.google.com/b/114597972580040099708/" target="_blank">Google+</a> | </strong><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine Tumblr" href="http://perpetualgeekmachine.tumblr.com">Tumblr</a> | </strong><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on YouTube" href="http://www.youtube.com/perpetualgeekmachine" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | </strong><strong><a href="tel:856-282-0042">856-282-0042</a></strong></p> <p><img title="Show Notes" src="http://perpetualgeekmachine.net/images/hdr_show-notes.png" alt="Show Notes" width="640" height="45" /></p> <p><strong>What'cha Been Doing - Part 1 </strong>(3:04)</p> <ul> <li>The Americans (Rich)</li> <li>Homebrewing (Kevin)</li> <li>Doctor Who (Dan / Adam)</li> <li>Sherlock (Rich)</li> <li>Spaceteam (Rich / Dan)</li> </ul> <p><strong>Break </strong>(32:29)</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9P4SxtphJ4&feature=youtu.be">Craig Ferguson "Lost Doctor Who Cold Open"</a></li> </ul> <p><strong>5 Hit Combo</strong> (35:11)</p> <ul> <li>Top 5 Time Travel Destinations</li> <li>Dan Vs.

Not going to lie to you dear readers and listeners. I haven't heard this show yet. As I sit here writing this it's sitting in the hopper waiting to hit libsyn and all the various services.

We've retooled the show a bit, tried to tighten things up to being you a meaner and leaner show. Segment 1, which used to be everything we've been doing has been pared down to hopefully include more of what you're actively interested in. 5 Hit Combo has been moved to the middle of the show. We decided we want the show to run about an hour, as our shows were creeping up in time and we don't want to ask that much of your time. Anything time leftover after 5 Hit Combo will comprise a general bullshit session that will include more of what we've been doing, but back catalog type stuff. But always trying to be mindful of that hour time length. This weeks show goes over time, which you can either believe happened because there's 4 of us on the show, or we're TERRIBLE at adhering to our own rules.

Ep #00067 - Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast
<p>You know, I thought when we decided to go weekly we'd have shows that capped-off right around an hour. I never expected that they'd keep getting longer, but hopefully no one minds this. As the producer on this show I definitely try to keep things moving while we're recording and I try to eliminate things that are redundant or veer too far off into This-Ain't-Interesting territory. Hopefully I'm doing OK.</p> <p>Luckily this is a start-to-stop great episode. Nicole, Ryan and I bring a wide variety of great stuff to <strong>What'cha Been Doing </strong>and their <strong>5 Hit Combo </strong>is, as usual, pretty fun to hear what they came up with. Stuffed right there in the middle is Dan's excellent interview with Julian and Angela, the creators of <strong>Story Realms</strong>, which you can help Kickstart further past their goal right over <a title="Story Realms on Kickstarter" href="http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/springboard/story-realms" target="_blank">here</a>.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine: Episode #00067" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/perpetualgeek/PGM_Show00067.mp3" target="_blank">Here's the link to give Perpetual Geek Machine: Show #00067 a listen!</a></strong> <iframe src="http://html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/2072306/height/75/width/640/direction/no/autoplay/no/autonext/no/thumbnail/yes/preload/no/no_addthis/no/" width="640" height="75" scrolling="no"></iframe></p> <p>Here's the breakdown on where to find/follow us online!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-geek-machine/id308775930" target="new">iTunes</a> | </strong><strong><a href="mailto:podcast@perpetualgeekmachine.net">email</a> | </strong><strong><a href="http://twitter.com/perpetualgeek">Twitter</a> |</strong> <strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/PerpetualGeek" target="_blank">Facebook</a> | </strong><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on Google Plus" href="https://plus.google.com/b/114597972580040099708/" target="_blank">Google+</a> | </strong><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine Tumblr" href="http://perpetualgeekmachine.tumblr.com">Tumblr</a> | </strong><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on YouTube" href="http://www.youtube.com/perpetualgeekmachine" target="_blank">YouTube</a> | </strong><strong><a href="tel:856-282-0042">856-282-0042</a></strong></p> <p>Show Notes for throwing off a tall building:</p> <!--more--> <p><strong>What’cha Been Doing?</strong> <strong>Nicole and Kevin's Goings Ons</strong> (3:27 - 45:58)</p> <div> <ul> <li>Nicole tells us further tales of her experience with <strong>Sleeping Dogs </strong>and the JRPG <strong>The Last Story</strong>, which is evidently a game made for the Wii.

Ep #00065 - Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast
<p>I decided to take a break this week and left the inmates in charge of the asylum. I should probably do this more often since it's really fun to hear Dan bemoan handling the hosting duties (even though he did a great job) while keeping a handle on our Canadian brothers. It's a really fun show. So much so that I might just take off more and more since it was nice to be a fan for a change.

Ep #00062 - Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast
<p>It seems that every time we get <a title="Nicole Kline on Perpetual Geek Machine" href="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/author/nkline/">Nicole</a> on the show it winds up being her, <a href="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/author/rcoonelly/">Rich</a> and <a href="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/author/harpuascorpio/">myself</a>. That's alright though, we have fun together, especially this week.

<p>Attentive nerds will recognize the above image as a still from the Sean Connery film <strong>Zardoz</strong>. We only briefly mention it in the show this week but I can not resist the chance to use imagery from that film despite the fact that none of us have ever seen it. I guarantee you'll see this image again at some point.</p> <p>I'm gonna put another warning in the show but after the break we talk in-depth about <a title="The Dark Knight Rises Review" href="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/2012/07/the-dark-knight-rises-review/"><strong>The Dark Knight Rises</strong></a> and we don't cover up any potential spoilers, we let 'em all fly.

Ep #00053: Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast
<p>This past Sunday our little podcast turned 2! At this point Dan, Ryan and I have been recording podcasts together for quite a while, even before we formed Perpetual Geek Machine. It's been a fun and unique experience, getting to know people by chatting about the things that bring us together. We're not ready to slow down any time soon so I sincerely hope that you're ready to be with us for the long haul. Thanks for listening and if you like what you hear, tell your friends!</p> <p>During this Geek Spew Dan got a chance to sit down with game designer <strong>Chevee Dodd</strong>. He's releasing a pirate-themed game called <strong>Scallywags </strong>that looks pretty great and he's been kind enough to give us a copy that <strong>we're giving away to you</strong>!

Ep #00052: Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast
<p>We're almost at the two year anniversary mark for us. This is the last episode for the "second season" of The Machine, not that we really count proper seasons around here. It's just some metadata embedded in the mp3 file that amuses me. This is going nowhere fast, sorry about that.</p> <p>Hey, we're looking to talk to more of our fans. If you remember our first few shows we originally tried out a segment called "Homework" where we invited people to watch/read/listen to things in between shows and send us some feedback. That didn't work out so well but we'd like to try something again. <strong>If you're interested in joining us in some sort of discussion group (think "Book Club" but more so) than drop us an email</strong>. podcast (at) perpetualgeekmachine (dot) net is the email address.</p> <p><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine: Episode #00052" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/perpetualgeek/PGM_Show00052.mp3" target="_blank">Here's the link to give Perpetual Geek Machine: Show #00052 a listen!</a></strong></p> <p><strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine: Episode #00052" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/perpetualgeek/PGM_Show00052.mp3" target="_blank"></a></strong>Here's the breakdown on where to find/follow us online!</p> <ul> <li>Follow us <a href="http://twitter.com/perpetualgeek">on Twitter</a>.</li> <li>Like us on <a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/PerpetualGeek" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</li> <li>Subscribe to our <a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on YouTube" href="http://www.youtube.com/perpetualgeekmachine" target="_blank">YouTube Channel</a>.</li> <li><a href="mailto:podcast@perpetualgeekmachine.net">Send us emails!</a></li> <li>Subscribe to the podcast on <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-geek-machine/id308775930" target="new">iTunes</a> or <a href="http://social.zune.net/podcast/Perpetual-Geek-Machine/837d708d-0297-4d8c-954e-d6bc13575e61">Zune</a> marketplace.</li> </ul> <p>Show Notes for while you're waiting for the servers to come back up:</p> <!--more--> <p><strong>What’cha Been Doing?</strong> (5:06 - 1:05:23)</p> <ul> <li>This week we <ERROR 37>:</li> <ul> <li>Rich and Mike attended a local <strong>Star Trek Convention</strong></li> <li>The <strong>Green Lantern</strong> movie?

Ep #00051: Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast
<p><strong>Cards Against Humanity</strong> is taking over the world. This isn't an opinion, it's not an observation, it's a fact. Every time we've introduced the game to a new group of people the reaction has been the same: "This is the best game I've ever played". Across the board. Maybe we just hang out with fantastic people but that has been our only experience so far. I don't think any of us expect that to change. In this show we've got an interview with five of the creators and they've got some exciting news to share with everyone.

Ep #00048: Perpetual Geek Machine (PAX East 2012 Interview Episode)
<p>PAX is a time for many things. For us it's a great excuse to get together with friends that live far and wide and nerd out for a few days.</p> <p></p> <p>But this year we decided to hit the show with a little more structure, and do some good honest work for Perpetual Geek Machine while we were there. This podcast is just another salvo of PAX East 2012 coverage, and culls together all the interviews we conducted on the floor over the stretch of the convention.</p> <p></p> <p>We played a ton of games... like, a ton. We only cover a fraction of those in this show. So the interviews presented therein aren't indicative of what we thought was cool at the show. And with that, enjoy this special podcast episode! <strong><a title="Perpetual Geek Machine: Episode #00048" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/perpetualgeek/PGM_Show00048.mp3" target="_blank">Here's the link to give Perpetual Geek Machine: Show #00048 a listen!</a></strong></p> <!--more--> <p><img title="Show Notes" src="http://perpetualgeekmachine.net/images/hdr_show-notes.png" alt="Show Notes" height="45" width="640" /> Just after noon on Friday we had the chance to sit down with Chris Plinksy from the Dungeons and Dragons group over at <strong><a href="http://wizards.com/dnd/" target="_blank">Wizards of the Coast</a></strong>. He told us all about their plans for the upcoming year across all facets of the Universe. Be it RPG, boardgame or miniatures it seems like the Dungeons and Dragons brand has got you covered with tons of product. (2:09 - 12:11)</p> <hr /> <p>After our Wizards of the Coast meeting we decided to hit the show floor and check out some of the smaller indie dev titles. While trying to make sure we saw everything we also did our best to pull a few of the developers aside and chat them up about their games!</p> <ul> <li>First up, Ziba Scott from PopCannibal talks <strong><a href="http://popcannibal.com/girlslikerobots/?home" target="_blank">Girls Like Robots</a></strong>(13:21 - 16:40)</li> <li>Then, David Sushil from <a href="http://badpilcrow.com/index.php?action=home" target="_blank">Bad Pilcrow</a> (developers of the fantastic <a href="http://www.gamezebo.com/games/vanessa-saint-pierre-delacroix-and-her-nightmare/review" target="_blank">Vanessa Saint-Pierre Delacroix and her Nightmare</a>) filled us in on his new game <strong><a href="http://badpilcrow.com/index.php?action=nwy" target="_blank">Not Without You</a></strong>(16:40 - 18:43)</li> <li>We then ventured out into the corners of the show floor and found a first person golf game laced with ghosts and ghouls called <strong><a href="http://helfdanescurse.com/" target="_blank">Curse of the Nordic Cove</a></strong> and talked to <a href="http://onthelevelgames.com/" target="_blank">On the Level Games</a>Executive Director of Design & Development Jeff Reimert about it (18:43 - 20:55)</li> <li>Finally we spoke with <a href="https://twitter.com/#!/jkooza" target="_blank">Jake Kazdal</a> from Haunted Temple Studios about <strong><a href="http://skullsoftheshogun.com/" target="_blank">Skulls of the Shogun</a></strong>.(20:55 - 22:37)</li> </ul> <hr /> <p>Taking a break from the show floor we decided to head for higher ground and found ourselves in the Kickstarter Arcade room, featuring both current projects and past winners.</p> <ul> <li>After watching a few moments of <strong><a href="http://gunsoficarus.com/" target="_blank">Guns Of Icarus Online</a></strong> we pulled aside Alex Jarocha-Ernst from <a href="http://musegames.com/" target="_blank">Muse Games</a>to talk to us about it. (24:07 - 26:46)</li> <li>No rest for the wicked, we ventured to the tabletop area and met up with Dave Schrader from <a href="http://www.schraderheavy.com/" target="_blank">Schrader Heavy Industries</a> who was demoing his single book role playing game the "<strong><a href="http://www.schraderheavy.com/lwrpg.php" target="_blank">Light Weight RPG</a></strong>." In between adventures we had him tell us a little bit about his project. (26:46 - 28:43)</li> </ul> <hr /> <p>Sunday came around too fast, as is always the case with PAX. However before catching a train to head home we decided to squeeze in a few more demos and playtests with a doubleshot of titles at Steve Jackson Games.</p> <ul> <li>First up is the to-be-released-this-summer castle building game <strong><a href="http://www.sjgames.com/castellan/" target="_blank">Castellan</a></strong>. The pieces were really unique and you can see us playing in some of these pictures. Lots of fun and the interlocking pieces are nice!

A little before PAX East we interviewed George Rothrock: Director of Product and Busines Development & Gary Weis: Chief Technology Officer from Playdek about their conversion of the combative deck building game <a href="http://www.playdekgames.com/games.php?games=nightfall_page.php&title=Nightfall" target="_blank">Nightfall</a>. Since this interview was recorded the game has been released and is available now on the app store. Here's a review from PGM writer <a href="http://www.gamezebo.com/games/nightfall/review" target="_blank">Dan Zuccarelli</a> (38:08 - 57:06) GOOD BYE</li> </ul>

Ep #00045: Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast
<p>This show is a great example of what happens when the Forces That Be keep Ryan, Dan and I away from each other for almost two months. We end up having a lot to talk about and, more importantly, having a great time catching up with each other.

Salvatore" href="http://www.rasalvatore.com/" target="_blank">R.A. Salvatore</a>! I've been reading his books since high school (trust me, it's been awhile) and he always manages to capture my imagination. Really cool, down-to-Earth guy too.

Not that Dan is upset mind you, he could talk about that shit for hours and hours. I mean he just got back from vacationing there and <a href="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/2011/08/ep-00032-pgm/" target="_blank">discussed the changes since he had been there</a> 2 years ago. We do think geekspew offers something new in the way of a history lesson certainly for the nerdy, and serves to maybe spread some of the interest that Dan has in the man known as one time as "Uncle Walt." The rest of the show as usual covers much ground, from old school sci-fi shows to tales of biker gangs. The crew also discusses the bitter end to their latest Dungeons and Dragons adventure. It's all good stuff.</p> <p><strong><a class="wpaudio" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/perpetualgeek/PGM_Show00033.mp3">Here's the link to give Perpetual Geek Machine: Show #00033 a listen!</a></strong></p> <p>Here's the breakdown on where to find/follow us online!</p> <ul> <li>Follow us <a href="http://twitter.com/perpetualgeek">on Twitter</a>.</li> <li>Like us on <a title="Perpetual Geek Machine on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/PerpetualGeek" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</li> <li><a href="mailto:podcast@perpetualgeekmachine.net">Hit us up and tell us what you to see covered here!</a></li> <li>Subscribe to the podcast on <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-geek-machine/id308775930" target="new">iTunes</a> or <a href="http://social.zune.net/podcast/Perpetual-Geek-Machine/837d708d-0297-4d8c-954e-d6bc13575e61">Zune</a> marketplace.</li> </ul> <p>"Please stand clear of the doors...Por favor mantengase alejado de las puertas."

We're pretty excited about our impending trip to Boston, for more than a few reasons. First and foremost is that it's a chance to see friends that we really don't get to spend time with very often. It's not routine for even the 3 of us here to be in the same room together, so it's some cause for celebration. Then naturally the show itself should be a damn good time, if last year were any indication. Once again there's more to do than there is time to do it so it's a 3 day war of attrition to see what we feel like seeing. But that's this weekend, for right now WE HAVE A WHOLE NEW podcast for you!</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Show Notes" src="http://perpetualgeekmachine.net/images/hdr_show-notes.png" alt="Show Notes" width="550" height="39" /></p> <p><strong>What'cha Been Doing?</strong>(3:34 - 24:49)</p> <ul> <li>Ryan - Pixeljunk Shooter 2</li> <li>Kevin - Crysis 2 demo</li> <li>Dan - Dead Space, Dungeons and Dragons</li> </ul> <p><strong>BREAK</strong> (24:50 - 26:06) “Mr. Fancy Pants” - Jonathan Coulton</p> <p><strong>Geek Spew</strong>(26:07 - 47:48)</p> <ul> <li>PAX East 2011</li> <li>iPad 2/iOS game rant</li> </ul> <p><strong>5 Hit Combo</strong>- (47:49 - End)</p> <ul> <li>Top 5 greatest hero/villain match-ups or battles</li> <li>Dan Vs.

Real life got in the way of all of us making it to the rescheduled time so this week you get a two shot of Ryan and Kevin speaking on all things geek. The upshot is that I (Dan) get to enjoy this show as a listener!

It's nothing bad mind you, just one of those "huh, weird" moments when you stop recording and look at the total running time. Not that I minded, it was great catching up with our friend and east coast <a href="http://www.shacknews.com/">Shacknews.com</a>editor Xav De Matos.

Ep #00014: Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast
<p><img src="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/pgm_show_00014.jpg" alt="" title="pgm_show_00014" width="550" height="206" class="alignright size-full wp-image-1365" /></p> <p>This episode plays out a bit differently than our standard set-up. There's no geekspew as there was simply no news stories we thought interesting enough to make show topics. We kinda decided it was better to just drop the segment for the week as opposed to finding a less than ideal story to talk about. No sense in boring the listeners just for the sake of having the segment (at least that was our thinking). It dawns on me now that I probably should've talked a bit about Harry Potter 7, since it's certainly geeky and something I have seen since the last show. Me talking about how cool it was would certainly have fallen on deaf ears though, as neither of my fellow podcasters care about the series really. As we roll into the holidays you're probably thinking about what you can get us as a present (and if you're not you should be). Well the thing we want the most is for you to tell your friends about us!

The topic that seemed to come up over and over again was that while we enjoy getting excellent products and services, we really hate how companies can be so damn high and mighty about it. It's no small coincidence that Apple is part of that discussion. Going in we all thought this show would end up shorter than most, and while it definitely is that... it's not by much. I guess the standard PGM show is always going to be around the 90 minute mark. A question for the listeners then.... is that too long? Too short?

Episode #11 is a number to celebrate really, it's no milestone or earmark of any kind. Yet I so enjoy doing the podcast that each one is a little celebration to me, a chance to really nerd it out and get into some goofy conversations... like about 3D printers made out of lego that print functioning lego pieces. Oh yea, we really get our nerd on here. So I think I have a job for you, our intrepid listeners. If you enjoy our show we'd be forever grateful if you could tell your friends about us. Right now we do this show simply because we love it, and fitting in into our normal isn't always easy. As such we falter in to the advertising area, but I've always believed that word of mouth is better than a million bucks spend on google ads anyways. So if you dig the show, tell a friend to check it out... and as always we'd love to hear from you! <a class="wpaudio" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/perpetualgeek/PGM_Show00011.mp3">Here's the link to give Perpetual Geek Machine: Show #00011 a listen!</a>Here's the breakdown on where to find/follow us online!</p> <ul> <li><a href="mailto:podcast@perpetualgeekmachine.net" target="new">We always want to hear your feedback, whatever it may be... like topics for 5 hit-combo, for instance.</a></li> <li>As always you can follow us <a href="http://twitter.com/perpetualgeek">on Twitter</a>.</li> <li>You can subscribe to the lovely podcast on <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/perpetual-geek-machine/id308775930" target="new">iTunes</a> or <a href="http://social.zune.net/podcast/Perpetual-Geek-Machine/837d708d-0297-4d8c-954e-d6bc13575e61">Zune</a>marketplace.</li> <li>And get in on our hot, <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/PerpetualGeekMachine" target="new">uncensored RSS action</a>.</li> </ul> <p>You look like the kind of person that expects some show notes....

Having a show with separate segments makes for a better overall experience, both as a listener and as a host. It really does give us the feel of doing a radio show, especially cause what we do is essentially live to tape. Record, talk for 90 minutes and then stop. Of course there's some technical wizardry in the background to make it sound like 3 people hundreds of miles away from each other all sound like we're in the same room, but that's why the quality of this podcast is better than rabble.</p> <p><a class="wpaudio" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/perpetualgeek/PGM_Show00009.mp3">And with that, I present Perpetual Geek Machine: Show#00009</a></p> <p><a class="wpaudio" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/perpetualgeek/PGM_Show00009.mp3"></a>Here's the breakdown on where to find/follow us online! <a href="mailto:podcast@perpetualgeekmachine.net" target="new">We also want to hear your feedback, whatever it may be... suggestions for homework or topics for 5 hit-combo, etc.</a> As always you can follow us <a href="http://twitter.com/perpetualgeek">on Twitter</a>.

Ryan sits out this week as he's in the middle of moving and all his geekly possessions are no doubt in neatly marked cardboard boxes. But fear not, the show goes on! This week we were very lucky and happy to have friend of the show (and real-life friend) Xav de Matos, who has moved up the ranks from BBPS writer, to Joystiqer and now <a href="http://www.shacknews.com/" target="new">East Coast Editor for Shacknews.com!</a> We're honestly proud of the bastard. It was great to both catch up and get his unique take on what's he's been spending his time on.</p> <p>Here's the breakdown on where to find/follow us online!</p> <p><a href="mailto:podcast@perpetualgeekmachine.net" target="new">We also want to hear your feedback, whatever it may be... suggestions for homework or topics for 5 hit-combo, etc.</a> As always you can follow us <a href="http://twitter.com/perpetualgeek">on Twitter</a>.

Since the device was powered he decided to dig into the PSP comics reader as well.</li> <li>Dan also enjoyed copious amounts of Monday Night Combat after returning home and getting back on the net. Some DRM bullshit while on vacation left him holding an Xbox 360 with barely any working games which led to the trial and enjoyment of the few year old Pure from <a href="www.disney.co.uk/disneyinteractivestudios/blackrockstudio/" target="new">Blackrock Studios</a>. He also tried to take a look at the new Zen Pinball table on the PS3 but online nonsense on Sony's part left him unable to buy anything from them, and the official response back was both baffling and hilarious.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Geek Spew</strong> <em>31:07 - 1:02:30 </em>(Each of us brings a geek related news bit to the table to share and discuss)</p> <ul> <li>Dan brings a word of warning to the folks of Geek Spew, as it seems the <a href="http://geektyrant.com/news/2010/7/13/uk-develops-a-real-unmanned-cylon-stealth-fighter.html" target="new">British have actually gone and made an autonomous cylon raider</a> (warning, video in link autoplays).

It really doesn't look much like the Ultima games we grew up with, but hey... it runs in your browser! Over the weekend Kevin and Dan got together with their respective wives and indulged in the deduction board game <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0039UT85G?ie=UTF8&tag=bitbytpixspr-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0039UT85G" target="new">Mystery Express</a>, which had a <a href="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/2010/07/analog-games-corner-mystery-express/" target="new">full review go up on the site on Monday</a>.</li> <li>Dan continued the tabletop talk with a small primer on <a href="http://www.funagain.com/control/product?product_id=022120&affil=BBPS" target="new">Monsterpocalypse with the recent addition of Voltron</a> figures to this popular miniatures game. For the price you get a ton of shit in the box, and it's enough for two players to play a complete game with, no having to buy extra stuff unless you want to! Over on the video game side of things Dan talks up <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00275EDMM?ie=UTF8&tag=bitbytpixspr-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00275EDMM" target="new">Lego Rock Band</a> and <a href="http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CBYQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmarketplace.xbox.com%2Fen-US%2Fgames%2Fmedia%2F66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802584109d1%2F&ei=4HFPTJ_MCcG88gadjOXKDQ&usg=AFQjCNECpqDKe_zWdwG8_muJO1NKNRy29g" target="new">Limbo</a>, one's for kids and the other one is a creepy nightmare/dream puzzler.

Not an easy task.</li> </ul> <p><strong>Geek Spew</strong> <em>40:53 - 1:01:26</em></p> <ul> <li>Dan very briefly mentions the <a href="http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/07/22/super-heroes-vs-the-westboro-baptist-church/" target="new">hate filled protest that for some reason happened outside the San Diego Comic-Con</a>. Why's this important? Cause our beloved nerd compatriots held the best counter protest ever, and had signs that we can both be proud of and laugh at. Good job guys!</li> <li>The meat and potatoes of this week's Geek Spew is a conversation mostly between Kevin and Ryan about the pricing structure for the coming 3D/Full Body gaming nonsense that is the Move and Kinect. Microsoft and Sony both got their PR people in a tizzy and released respective bullshit-o-matic charts, but both pale in comparison the the chart made by<a href="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/images/MotionComparison.pdf" target="new">Kevin himself!!</a></li> </ul> <p><strong><a href="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/5-hit-combo/">5 Hit Combo!</a></strong> <em>1:01:27 - 1:28:14 </em>(Two of us battle for supremacy as we compare and debate our Top 5 lists.

Ep #00001: Perpetual Geek Machine Podcast
<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-160" href="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/2010/06/perpetual-geek-machine-show-00001/pgm-show-00001/"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-160" title="pgm-show-00001" src="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/pgm-show-00001.jpg" alt="" width="640" height="240" /></a></p> <p><a rel="attachment wp-att-160" href="http://www.perpetualgeekmachine.net/2010/06/perpetual-geek-machine-show-00001/pgm-show-00001/"></a>What a strange feeling to not start off the post with the words "bitcast." After 90 episodes it feels off-putting to put the term to bed, yet I can't help but be excited about moving to greener pastures. In a lot of ways it's the same old show, but with a brand new coat of polish unfound in the old bitcast days. What you'll find here is what we think to be a more refined, professional version of what we used to do. We all went into the show nervous even though we've literally done it over 100 times now. It was new, fresh and exciting and I think it came across in the recording. The dust is still settling around here, but we've opened for business nonetheless. It's an exciting time and you'll see features and enhancements hit the site over the next week or so as it all solidifies. Until then, let's get on with the show!</p> <p><a class="wpaudio" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/perpetualgeek/PGM_Show00001.mp3">Click here to listen to Perpetual Geek Machine: Show #00001</a></p> <p><a class="wpaudio" href="http://traffic.libsyn.com/perpetualgeek/PGM_Show00001.mp3"></a>We're currently in the process of getting the podcast listed in the various places round the web, but until then if you'd like to <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/PerpetualGeekMachine">subscribe to the RSS feed click here!</a></p> <p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/PerpetualGeekMachine"></a>So, what went down on this... the very first show of PGM?
