Geek Blog – Easy Mode
I’ve done the “Easy Mode.” For achievement completion, for insane high scores and quick runs, and because the game was hard (Mega Man 10, I’m looking at you).
CollegeHumor takes this concept (as always) to the extreme!
Geek Blog – The Problem with Warping
To warp or not to warp, that is the question that faces us at the end of World 1-2, after finding the whistle in the first fortress of the first World, when you open the path to the first star road in the Donut Plains and as you toss a potion in Dream-Con next to a jar you know will take you to World 4.
Not nearly as fundamental as the question “To turtle-trap or not to turtle-trap”; this conundrum still plagues our youth. Or not.
Is it cheating? If so, who are you cheating? Bowser would have you believe you are cheating yourself.
Exhibit A:
Geek Blog – Star Wars The Old Republic E3 Trailer Gives Me “Hope”

My understanding of this game is that it isn’t a “traditional” MMO such as EverQuest or WoW, but rather a single-player game, wrapped in a massive, multiplayer universe. You drive your own storyline by choosing dialogue options a la Mass Effect (another Bioware marvel) and can play the same class twice with vastly different effects.
Group up with others and as you interact with NPCs, you also influence your partner’s (or party’s) storyline.
Finally we get to see a Jedi in action!

Geek Blog – Mario Musical Mastery
Super Mario Bros. always brings a smile to my face. The following videos display some of the vast talent out on the interwebs. First a beat-boxer, followed by a violinist who times his play with someone who is playing.
Enjoy and Happy Fathers’ Day to the GeekDad’s out there!

GeekBlog – Tech Support Isn’t All Cake and Games
Part of my day-to-day job functionality involves performing technical support over the phone with a variety customer types. A portion of my at-home time is spent performing technical support for family. I applaud this technician’s patience and ability to see the customer through the resolution of her issue. Then I giggle and go mad because of the many similar conversations I’ve had throughout my lifetime. Enjoy!
Very patient, good technical support.

Geek Blog – GTA Bike Stunts
I’ve been a fan of Grand Theft Auto since day 1. I was amazed at the gameplay innovations with GTA3, the 80s nostalgia with Vice City and over-the-top scale of San Andreas. These players take San Andreas to a new level, riding motorcycles up buildings, landing peddle-bikes on streetlamps and other death-defying stunts. This is just CRAZY!
Most Impressive.

Geek Blog – WoW Players Have RLs Too
Awesome entry into the “4-day Film” Category at the Darklight Film Festival. That means this beauty was filmed, FX’d and comp’d within a 4-day span. Not sure how I’d react to a Tauren in the elevator.

Geek Blog – What Geeks Learn From FPS Games
A quick video short showcasing the skills a geek can acquire from first-person-shooters such as Counterstrike and Call of Duty, or: “How to handle yourself in a close quarters firefight.”
Check out YT User freddiew’s channel for other good shorts. This Geek highly recommends “Jedi A-holes.”
