Riptapparel.com Graveyard Favorites
This episode was crazy. We were all over the place and it started with the Riptapparel.com website. The shirts I was looking at were in the Graveyard section that is basically retired and no longer for sale. Since I couldn't stop laughing during the cast, here are the ones I liked best (while just scanning the 25 pages I went through) and decided to share with the fans. I could have kept going, but obviously didn't...

What the Tech!?...It's Tech News!
This week on The Geeks Amok Podcast Frank, Rob and Leroy attempted to give some tech news. But alas it was a short discussion that lacked in details and actually knowledge you want to know. Suck it! Aside from the part where Frank talked about upskirt photos. Suck it Again!! I take full blame for this as I was on a secret mission I couldn't be pulled away. In all fairness I was asleep after being up 40 hours straight I felt it more important to sleep and have my mind fully ready to continue to submit "My" Articles on a regular basis...Cough Cough suck it thrice!

Sequels, Necessary or the Death of Imagination
With the slew of sequels that have been pouring out of Hollywood and game studios recently I wanted to touch on the idea behind sequels. For years sequels have been the continuation of something from the original idea. Kind of like "the continuing adventures of" whatever the original idea was. Recently released "How to Train Your Dragon 2" was a sequel to the Dreamworks hit and has been one of the few to have broken the barrier between what I think of as "continuation" and "progression". I think that the key to a great sequel is that the characters and story from the original movie or game needs to progress and show a new aspect of the people in it. Something that brings you in deeper and wants you to know more about them. I think that the sequel needs to almost be able to stand alone as a story unto itself. The characters are introduced in the original and they have a story but the sequel needs to be a new story and deepens the relationship between the core characters. I think that Dreamworks has figured this formula out because both the Dragon series and the Kung Fu Panda series both follow this formula, almost to the point that the sequel is better than the original. I think that other movie franchises could stand to take a look at this and learn better how to present and write sequels so that we are not looking at the same stories that have already been told but new adventures that involve the same characters but with a deeper look into them and what makes them so intriguing.

Geeks Amok Fresh Meat
Hi, my name is Justin and I'm a geek. I've been this way for several (and i mean several) years and I'm proud of it. I'm new and I will be posting on different topics such as the latest gaming news and possibly reviews of some of the latest games. I will give my complete honest opinion on the things I write about and complete facts about games like pros and cons, because lets be honest, every game has its flaws no matter how huge the game is. Now I'm not gonna be Debbie downer or anything but if you purchase a game after I've written about it, then just don't blame me..... blame Joe Clatch.Read more »

Dying LIght or Dying Genre
First of all thanks to IGN for the 12 minutes of gameplay footage. In this weeks Podcast the question was asked are Zombie game over used? In my opinion I say no. I don't think have captured the expierence completely and lets be honest here. When The Walking Dead isn't Best show on TV and millions of people don't watch it anymore than yes it's done and we shouldn't see anymore zombie content for a while.

Net Neutrality and Big Cable Companies
Ever since I can remember the internet was a form of communication to access information from the World Wide Web. You couldn't send an email, chat with your friends through Instant Message, surf the web or even post comments on peoples ridiculous content online without being connected to the internet. Sure a lot has changed since the founding of the internet, but so has technology for Gas, Electric, Phone and Television Companies. However, the Cable companies are crying wolf because they want the Internet to be treated like Cable Channels. They want you to pay for "channels/categories" of internet content on top of paying for connecting to the internet. The reason behind this - Video Steaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc..

Review: WatchDogs
This week, now that I have had a chance to dig into WatchDogs I think it's time for a review. Your Eye orbs will thank you. Starting out this game began with frustration. The Tutorial was a pain in the dick, it doesn't really explain the control all that well. Luckily it was relatively short. As always don't take what I'm saying to heart here with the beginning of this review because lets face the harsh truth. Tutorial are the bane of most gamers existences but they are a necessary evil to grab a more diverse gamer. That being said lets move on to the meat and potatoes.

Mortal Kombat X: Announcement Trailer Released
From the opening to the end of the trailer is pure awesomeness. It seems the whole trailer is an actual match between Sub-Zero and Scorpion. It starts with a cinematic entrance that flawlessly blends into the start of the fight with the Lengen - wait for it - dary "Fight" being broadcast-ed to start the match. It looks like Mortal Kombat is getting Environmental weapons and moves to use against your opponent in the latest installment. From the video it shows Matrix-like cut scenes for Critical Hits (ie..bone breaking x-rays and dislocations). It seems like there might be super special moves as well. Sub-Zero is showing off a charged up Ice Blast. Don't even get me started on how great the "Who's Next" track from Wiz Khalifa sounds playing in the background of the video. However I am upset that they show Sub-Zero losing and being decapitated, but it was done in style this time with Scorpion throwing his axe to pin (and what appears to be the final blow) Sub-Zero's head to the tree.
