Week 3 of the Maximum Geek live cast and while Jeff and I had fun we had a disappointing drop in live listeners. So is there interest in the live show? Well Jeff and I are enjoying so we’ll keep doing it, but we would like to hear what you guys think of the live format.

OK, now for the show notes. Things were a little scattered this week, it started with technical difficulties and a bit of disorginization on my part, but we recovered nicely I think. So here are the notes as I remember them.

This week was the second week of our live cast and I gotta say, we’re digging doing this live. We cover a lot but we didn’t have very many live listeners. So if you’re interested in listening in on a live show but Tuesday night doesn’t work for you let us know and maybe we can find a better night where we can get more live listeners. Anyway, here’s what we covered last night.

• Shrek 3 mini-review
• 80 Gig PS3
• Starcraft 2
• Nintendo Tops Hardware Sales Chart
• Vista, bad rap or bad software?
• Why PC games aren’t going anywhere.
  • JAmerican from the 1src chat joins us for this one.
• Mobile Minute
• Q lust

This week we did something new. We recorded Max Geek live using Blog Talk Radio. It was a bit of an experiment and so it was a bit rough. We’ve got a much better handle on things now and are seriously considering doing the cast live from now on. So let us know if you would rather we stick with “studio” recording. We’re especially interested in what you think of the sound quality. It’s definitly lower than our normal cast, but maybe I think it’s manageable. So take a listen and let us know what you think. Anyway, here’s what we cover, minus all the side tracks of course.

• iRobot Create
• Kind of new Macbooks, sort of.
• HP 20inch laptop of doom.
• Dark Days Are Coming
• Blizzard hiring mobile programmers
  • “Blizzard Entertainment is looking for a highly organized individual with outstanding communication abilities to manage the process of bringing Blizzard-IP-related functions into the mobile space.”
• Blizzard has a big announcement next week
• Treo 755p and the “Hawk”

Along the way we talk about comics and weight and all kinds of random topics. As always we’d love to know what you think.

Tuesday Jeff and I will be doing our first Maximum Geek Live Cast. We’re using Blog Talk Radio so it’s definitly going to be a bit of an experiment. So if you’re interested here are the details.

Tuesday May 15th at 8pm Central

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/maxgeek is the site to listen

(347) 996-3771 is the number to call to tell us that we’re full of crap.

I’ll post the topics monday night, just let us know if there are any questions.

So here we are at episode 4, again we had a short list of things to cover, but ended up with a podcast over an hour long. I blame Jeff. Here’s what we cover.

Notes

• LOTR chess set
  http://www.noblecollection.com/catalog/product.cfm?id=NN2990&catid=17

So we almost forgot to do the Spidey review, cause you know, sometimes we’re stupid. I even manage to call Jeff out for being a moron only to have to back peddle because I, in fact, was wrong. I know, who’d have thunk it, normally it’s Jeff that’s full of shit. Anyway, enjoy the episode, and as always, let us know what you think.
