The All Things Geekery Podcast - E11 2017 Year End Review YT Thumbnail

In this episode:

We breakdown our highlights of 2017.

Show Notes:
First off we discuss our top 3 games we’ve played this year.  What we liked about and disliked about each of them.

We talk big life events that both of us have had, from moving, homes, new season of life and more.

We review Destiny 2, what we thing about the state of the game currently, and we also talk Guardian Con and our experience of the first ever Con we got to be a part of.

Lastly, we discuss Star Wars The Last Jedi – ATTENTION: Their are spoilers at the end of this episode, so if you have NOT seen the  movie you will want to skip over this section.

Wrapping up 2017 was a blast, and both Victus and I have experienced a ton of change in both locations of where we live, to time we get to game.

All Things Geekery Podcast – Episode 1 The Rise & Fall of Virtual Reality

/ Detached / Leave a comment

What a crazy ride this has been but a ride well worth the wait as WE, myself and Victus made our first podcast!  Yes, another podcast about stuff, geeky stuff to be specific.

We’ve been working on this thing for a long time, and we have probably hit every little bump along the way….but we stuck with our passion and we knew VICTORY would be ours in the end, as we triumphantly defeated those pesky technical issues that kept haunting us over the last few months.

In our very first episode we get a bit sidetracked for a few minutes and talk about our recent gaming adventures in Fallout 4, Destiny, and the awe inspiring wonder of The Division.

Then we move right into the main content for this episode which is….The rise and fall AND rise again of virtual reality.

This process has been such a fun journey to dive into, and at times we dove into the deep end of the pool when all the water had been drained out, but overall WE did it!!

We are still in the process of getting approvals for iTunes, but we are super excited to share this with everyone and hope you enjoy, so give us a shout and feedback as we’d love to hear from you all!

Here is our RSS feed which you can also paste into whichever app you enjoy using for podcatching.

Ok enough of the chatter….hope you all enjoy and we will see you all in the next episode!
