Last night was fun. Not sexy fun, just fun fun. I don’t think our HR would appreciate sexy fun times. Wait, we don’t have a HR department. (Sweet.) Anywho, much fun was had, as always and we talked about the below topics. Also, if you were part of the live audience and stayed for the after show, you would have heard Raul saying that I was doing a bad job of hosting the podcast.  Well, I told him to put his money where his mouth was and host the next show.

So, in honor of Easter and the fact that Raul hasn’t cut his hair yet and looks like Jesus, the podcast will be named “Jesus Reborn.”

I have finally watched one of the many legitimate “man movies” that I am supposed to have watched in order to have a “man card.”  Blade Runner was considered and hyped to be a great movie, as said by our friend Joe the Peacock and the rest of the Podcast cast. Well, my thoughts on it was “meh.” I’m sorry. It wasn’t any good. Listen to the podcast to hear how it all went down as well as other stuff we talked about.

This week’s podcast had a very special guest co-host, PC Weenies creator, Krishna.  Now, being a podcast host, one of the most important things you’re NOT supposed to do is misspeak your guest’s name or website. But, that was the very thing I did. Gosh. I’m so noob!

Topics

• Valentines Day
• Google Buzz
• PC Weenies

Original broadcast date February 10, 2010. You can see the original post here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2010/02/pixelated-podcast-ep-026-a-shout-out-to/

Yes yes. I’m posting this podcast 1 day lat and a dollar short. I’m sorry. Any who. In this episode, the boys from Boo Ya Pictures guest co-hosted and managed to de-rail the show more than our buddy Joe the Peacock! I never knew it could happen, but it did.

Topics:

• Random Shit

Note for the video below: There was a LOT of shenanigans going on and the only reason why you see only my reactions is because UStream doesn’t record multiple video streams. Only the host stream. If you miss the live recording, then you missed out on some hilarity.

Original broadcast date February 2, 2010. You can see the original post here: https://pixelatedgeek.com/2010/02/pixelated-podcast-ep-025-pixelated-broadcast-live-with-yaya-han/

Andrew, James and I did a lot over the week in Las Vegas for CES.  This is our special Pixelated Podcast recapping everything that happened in the city of Sin.

It was the Monday before CES and Bill couldn’t make it to the recording.  Due to his raid leader not letting him leave the raid. Oh well.  We always have people to step in for our co-hosts, like our good friend Joe the Peacock. So, instead of having news about World of Warcraft, we have continued derailment. But it’s ok.  Joe gave us Christmas gifts… which I still need to get.

It was the podcast before Christmas and all through the house, Mr. Peacock was derailing the show while I clicked the mouse– ok. I’ll stop. I’m not a poet. Any who, Joe the Peacock joined our show again, this time last minute. And, as always, he brought a lot of laughs, random thoughts, and rants.

Topics:

• Mainstream Filmmaking is equal to Auto-Tuned Rap
• E-Readers — Is it time to make the Jump?

We couldn’t get to the rest of the topics because I let the Peacock run rampant. Which is ok because he gave us all presents! If you were part of the live audience last night, e-mail me your full name and ustream username to nelson -at- pixelatedgeek .dot. com so I can send you your Christmas gift.

Just got back from Penny Arcade Expo 2009 and we have some stories to tell ya. We got to meet up with some cool people, party it up, and get sick.  If you haven’t heard yet, PAX was hit with Swine Flu.  But I think it was more like the Fat Mexican Flu because Raul was sick before, during and after the show.  So, I think it was he that spread the disease around.
