All Us Geeks

Jeff & Jordan take on Geek News while Michael is out. Recorded on January 29, 2013.

Jeff flies solo to check out Con of the North, a gaming convention in St. Paul, MN.  Feeling lonely though, he brings in Lance Myxter, aka Undead Viking, to do a convention wrap-up.   General Opening (00:00:00) Let us know if you want more of this type of stuff in the future!   Floodgate Games Interview (Ben Harkins) (00:04:14) http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/floodgategames/legacy-forbidden-machines Legacy: Forbidden Machines     Chip Theory Games Interview (Josh Carlson) (00:07:07) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2025187024/hoplomachus-rise-of-rome Hoplomachus: Rise of Rome   Convention Wrap-Up (Lance Myxter) (00:12:07) https://www.youtube.com/user/UndeadVikingVideos   Post Wrap-Up (01:11:01) Feedback!

The Geeks end of year wrap-up does not bode well for 2013. The show may change a bit, unfortunately your hosts will not. Join Jeff, Michael, and Jordan as they say goodbye to 2012 and ask themselves if they're willing to continue into 2013!   General Opening Conversation (00:00:13) Favorite Moments : Hosts & Listeners Lessons Learned Podcast Changes for 2013   Favorite Games Reviewed (00:21:25) Review Process Michael:  Zombicide Jordan:  Dominion: Dark Ages Jeff:  Sentinels of the Multiverse Games We Wished We Reviewed in 2012   Favorite Kickstarters (00:40:10) http://www.kickstarter.com/ Michael & Jordan:  Zombicide Jeff:  Before the Mask: The Return of Leslie Vernon   Geek News (00:41:52) www.gamelaunched.com http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/event/article/id/253127/group/Opinion/    Horror Headlines (00:57:17)   What we’re watching (01:02:41) Jordan's Favorite:  The Walking Dead, A Game of Thrones, The Avengers, & Skyfall Michael's Favorites: The Walking Dead & The Avengers Jeff's Favorites: The Walking Dead, A Game of Thrones, & The Avengers   Elvira: Mistress of the Dark Blake Shelton Christmas Special Ted Men in Black 3 Santa's Slay   What we’re reading (01:10:40) Michael's Favorite: A Dance With Dragons Jordan's Favorite:  Monster Hunter, International Jeff's Favorites: A Dance With Dragons & The Walking Dead   Giants Beware The Complete H.P.

Take a moment and visit the links supplied for the Jack Vasel Memorial Fund and the associated auction currently taking place on Board Game Geek until November 18th.

Jeff & Jordan take over the podcast. Prediction: Everyone finds a new podcast to listen to. Jordan gets romantic with trains.

In this "cursed" episode: The geeks are so happy to still be podcasting that they break into song and admit that they are horrible people. Jeff threatens to get a restraining order against our listeners. Michael tosses a dollar to Cinnamon.
