LXG Episode 135: Booby McSource’s Beach Party.

league of extraordinary geeks — Tue, 01 May 2012 11:00:00 GMT

Switching it up a bit this time as we talk games first! What are your thoughts on “net lists?” Do they have their uses or are they just for power-gaming jackasses? We discuss. Mostly cuss.

Then, comics! AVX continues, Omega Effect wraps up, we get a(nother) reveal of the Shredder, and Danny actually wants to talk about a NOVEL. S’weird, man. Weird.

Enjoy!

Intro and outro is a cover of “Crazy” by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

LXG Episode 134: Mic Check.

league of extraordinary geeks — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 22:34:55 GMT

We get into it about comic creators that are widely considered to be in the “hall of greats.” But do they have the batting average to live up to it or are they riding their own coattails as a one-hit-wonder? We don’t have definitive answers, but it’s fun to talk about.

Then, we move into a game discussion on how you (meaning we) go about list building. Do you go for a single-power list? A jack-of-all-trades list?

All that, and Matt’s mic dies near the end, making it weird.

Enjoy!

Intro and outro is “She’s Got a Girlfriend Now” by Reel Big Fish.

league of extraordinary geeks — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 11:21:08 GMT

Comics! Good issues! Games! New meta!

Intro and outro is “Rubberneckin” by Elvis vs Paul Oakenfold.

LXG Episode 132: Diabeetus Eggs.

league of extraordinary geeks — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 11:00:00 GMT

It’s Easter! Which mean we traditionally eat a Cadbury Crème Egg and suffer sugar shock.

After going over some of the new issues in comics we liked this week, it’s on to talking about the new GW paint line and some hobby work we’re working on.

Intro and outro music is “Hell Yes” from Beck.

LXG Episode 131: Neutral Good, Neutral Evil, or Chaotic Neutral.

league of extraordinary geeks — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 23:20:48 GMT

Curse you, jury duty! That’s why it’s late. Promise.

We go deep on the comic discussion this time out. Philosophies of what we like, what we consider a great or entertaining book, etc. Basically, Kyle starts the conversation to buy him some time to read a comic to discuss.

Intro and outro music is “Still Counting the Days” from Goldfinger.

LXG Episode 130: Back in the saddle again.

league of extraordinary geeks — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 00:50:52 GMT

Boom. Episode. Done.

We’re back after a LOOOOONG break of tournaments, vacations, and conventions. So we try to re-cap it all with some new comics discussion thrown in for good measure. We run a little long, but as your girlfriend can attest, that’s always the case.

Intro and outro music is “Beer” from Reel Big Fish.

LXG Episode 129: Live from Kawaii Kon 2012

league of extraordinary geeks — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 22:03:55 GMT

This episode is actually what we were trying to do last year, a live episode from Kawaii Kon! KK is our local convention that began with a focus on anime/manga, but has grown to welcome tabletop gamers, etc as well. Special thanks to everyone who came out to see us and take part in our Q&A or wrote in questions, and of course to the staff at Kawaii Kon for helping us out. We had a ton of fun, but you’ll notice this is a much shorter episode than normal. We had a bit of a time crunch, and it took us a while to get used to doing this in front of an audience, so if we sound a bit off our game....you’re clearly delusional. We are awesome at all times and in all situations. You. Are. Welcome.

Intro and outro is “Knight Rider (techno remix)” by Happy Hardcore.

LXG Episode 128: Family Matters.

league of extraordinary geeks — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 22:41:14 GMT

It’s a good episode, but not necessarily a happy one. This week marks the departure of our good friend and oft-cohost, Jeff. He’s shipping out to the East Coast so we spent the first half of the show talking a bit of comics and the second half reminicing over old stories. There might be a lot of in-jokes, but hey, this one’s to send off our boy. Enjoy!

Intro and outro is “I Will Still Be Laughing” by Soul Asylum.

LXG Episode 127: YAY! We have listeners!

league of extraordinary geeks — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 09:44:19 GMT

These kinds of episodes are some of my favorites: listener emails!

Anytime we get proof that someone out there is listening, it’s pretty cool. This time, we talk zombie biology, superhero throwdowns, and homebrew vs house rules in gaming.

Top it off with a little Star Trek vs Star Wars and I think we’ve hit all the major geek topics.

Intro and outro is “Tonight” by Deep Blue Something.

LXG Episode 126: The Liam Neeson Episode.

league of extraordinary geeks — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 09:29:55 GMT

ARGH! A touch late with this, which isn’t good, but we’re working on some good stuff (including this year’s Kawaii Kon stuff), that we’ll be able to announce soon!

So enjoy this episode of comic talk as we go over a few of our stand-out issues as well as some gaming talk of what we’d like to see our factions get throughout various games.

Intro and outro is “Motivate” by The Earnies.

LXG Episode 125: Peppered Jerky

league of extraordinary geeks — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 10:15:00 GMT

Yes, another episode already as we try to get back on schedule. We had A LOT to say this episode and we’re still getting settled into our new format, so here’s a monster of an episode. This one time, I hope you have a long commute and maybe we can help make it a little more interesting.

In comics, we’ve got some single issue talk and then a discussion on comic book character “reincarnations.”

Then, in games, we talk about the (literally) big announcements from Privateer Press on day one of TempleCon and move into a talk about when games hit “overkill” for our personal tastes. Also, we coin the term “maxi-tures.”

00:02:17 – COMICS! News, with email, RPG musings, and Super Bowl.

00:11:20 – The Twelve #9

00:16:32 – Before Watchmen

00:22:31 – Venom #13

00:36:18 – Invincible #88

00:40:34 – Character reboots/rewrites/rebirths/reincarnations

01:06:39 – GAMES! Big news. Colossal news. Overkill? Power creep?

Intro and outro music is “Nobody but Me” from The Dickies.

Hope you enjoy the new format, let us know what you think and send any questions/comments to: LXG@imakereality.com

Don’t forget, we’d love to get some more iTunes reviews so more people can find the show!

LXG Episode 124: New Format

league of extraordinary geeks — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 23:03:10 GMT

Tah-dah! We’re trying the new format with this episode combining comics AND games. HOW DO WE LIVE AT SUCH SPEEDS?!

00:02:50 – COMICS! News, with George Lucas, DC’s new logo, etc.

00:10:45 – Batman

00:17:29 – The Mighty Thor

00:25:49 – The Walking Dead

00:29:03 – Alpha Flight

00:38:52 – Danger Girl

00:42:43 – GAMES! News of new editions. 40K 6^th edition rumor updates, and our completed speculation on the whispers of the new D&D 5^th edition.

01:03:50 – Theory gaming discussion. Where does what works on paper not sync with what works on the table?

Intro and outro music is “Do Right” from Jimmie’s Chicken Shack.

LXG Episode 100: Late Like a Period. You Are Attracted to Us! (Movie Review and Comics)

league of extraordinary geeks — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 03:18:50 GMT

AAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW YEAH!!!

Here we go, Episode 100 is finally here! After losing all our audio files, having the computer we record on fail, and a litany of other shit go wrong, we get back on the horse one more time than we got thrown off to get this to you. We have battle wounds.

Chicks dig scars, right?

So we start off by opening up a gift from our friend Roy (Buma from Kawaii Kon) and can’t believe the level of awesome it possesses.

Next, our audio fails before we can talk about movies, which we launch into after the “break,” as well as the big news as of late in both comics and games.

Also, since this is Episode 100, I’ll be contacting several of you about winning our “Shameless Marketing Prize!” So look for us in your spam folder, I guess.

Intro and outro is “Attracted to Us” by Lonely Island.

Enjoy……

FINALLY! I’ve got my brothers to sit in for an episode. We go over our sordid geek history and the guys blend right in with the theme of the show by going off the rails as much as possible. Good times. We wound up with 3+ hours of audio, so here’s part 1!

LXG Episode 082: SHEPHERD’S PIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEE!!! (Malifaux)

league of extraordinary geeks — Mon, 17 Jan 2011 22:55:00 GMT

…gonna bake you in Hell tonight!

This episode we do an LXG intro to the skirmish game Malifaux. With two rulebooks out and an almost infinite combination of tactics, we set up this show to introduce people to a bit of the rules and fluff. Make no mistake, we’re not experts, but we’re working on it!

Since Matthew is the only Malifaux player of the Geeks, we have Matt and Jeff in the studio to help with the conversation and Darren’s here to keep it all in line with a WTF perspective.

[00:00:32] Shepherd’s Pie – fact or fiction? We talk music.

[00:09:47] Intros. TEN MINUTES IN. Ridiculous.

[00:11:55] emails! Let us show you them.

[00:16:22] Malifaux: First Impressions, The Checklist of Awesome.

[00:22:22] Malifaux: Story, Fluffer Nutter.

[01:04:00] Malifaux: The Rules, When the Dice Have Abandoned You.

[01:22:04] Malifaux: The Greenhorn League, Now Featuring Women.

[01:29:45] Malifaux: Listener Email, What’s Your Style?

[01:43:27] Next Week and Don’t Be That Guy.

Next week: COMIC BOOKS (a hodgepodge from the past month up through January 11th.) Shoot us an email or comment on our facebook page to be part of the discussion!

LXG Episode 066: Critical Tow.

league of extraordinary geeks — Fri, 20 Aug 2010 04:09:00 GMT

For the first time ever, we talk RPGs on the show! Well, one RPG specifically, as we’ve decided to dip our toes into the waters of D&D 4e.

We’re joined by part of our gaming group on this episode. Jeff (who’s been on before), his wife Jessica (newbie), and Matt (who, tied with Jeff, might be our most frequent guest) are all here, making for a crowded house and a lot of mic sharing. If the sounds of passing them around get irritating, sorry.

We go into our game specifically, but also the nature of gaming groups as a whole.

Can you guess who plays the Tiefling Warlock, the Dragonborn Bard, the Gensai Swordmage, the Eladrin Cleric, and the Dwarven Fighter?

[00:00:58] Intros with guests.

[00:02:43] We beg. Shamelessly.

[00:03:45] ANOTHER parking rant.

[00:06:44] Scott Pilgrim premiere.

[00:28:49] D&D 4e.

[01:15:52] DBTG: my car got towed.

[01:27:45] Next Week and Outros.

We’ll be taking next week off for Games Day at the store. We’ll be back with a story or two.

Intro and outro is Sex Bob-bom’s “Threshold.”
