Geek Syndicate - Human Target Special: Interview with Mark Valley
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 15 minutes and 15 secondsEarlier in the year Dave and I caught up with Mark Valley the star of the hit US show Human Target.
Thanks to my computer dying I thought I had lost the interview (we lost dave halfway through the recording as you will hear) but after a whole lot of tinkering and some luck I've manged to recover the interview for your listening pleasure.
Be warned this was recorded before season 2 aired so there's not a lot of questions on season 2 although we do get to chat briefly about what Mark believes we can expect from Chance in season two.

Dissecting Scrolls: X-mas X-Over Pt1
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 23 minutes and 15 secondsThe wait is over. The time is now.
The Teen-Titans of the Geek Syndicate Network have come together in a bumper sized two-part special of podcasty goodness. Celebrating the Christmas holiday in traditional fashion the Troublesome Twosome from Dissecting Worlds and the Questionable Quartet from Scrolls cast off all pretense of being rational people, get drunk and play stupid party games. A little too much is revealed about some, more questions are raised about others and at least one fabulous song is brutally murdered before your horrified ears.
Skits, Christmas messages, insults from a famous guest-host and limericks from an actual fan round off the VERY BESTChristmas Crossover special on the GSN that we have ever made, EVER (or your money back).
Apologies in advance to the makers of Just A Minute, Never Mind the Buzzcocks and Mornington Crescent for the outrages we have committed in Part 1 - I'll let Kehaar do the grovelling for Part 2.
Here are some made up quotes from some real people -
'All my christmas wishes just came true. I particularly liked Saruman's letter to Santa.' (C. Lee)
'Imagine taking something you really like and, and adding something else you really like to it, and mixing them up all together and then WHOP! dollopping them out onto two plates. Well that's like this innit. But in your ears.' (J. Oliver)
'It's like, the best idea ever dude.' (K. Reeves)
'Laugh? I nearly shat!' (W. Shatner)
'It's the worst idea in history.' (S. Schama)

Scrolls Chapter 10: Game Changers
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 38 minutes and 25 secondsChaos ensues once again as the troublesome team try to uncover the books and authors that had a major role in creating our favourite genres or have since shaken things up, put a new spin on them and generally kept it all fresh. It has been heavily edited, resulting in the sad loss of several interesting conversations about books and authors which were too off-topic or else deserving of far more time and analysis on a seperate podcast. Despite that it's a monster episode and there's loads of silliness which did survive the edit because frankly we'd rather be funny than dull.
Miraculously maintaining our sky-high standards (despite the removal of one persons pants and the shaking of another cast-member's member) we plunge back through time to glance at Gilgamesh and rampage right through to 2010 with all the clinically-precise organisation of the average student's sock drawer - and many similarly unsavoury and cheesy elements.
The plugathon at the end makes reference to short story The Golden Egg which you can get to by clicking on this link here.

Indie Asylum - Episode 3 'Difficulty'
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 58 minutes and 41 secondsOnce again it’s time to tread the halls of Indie Asylum as we have a damn hard time wrapping our collective craniums around the subject of difficulty. With head scratching and brain punching we break out some games covering all varying levels of difficulty, with some chilled and casual that even Chelle can play to some so hard I wanted to kill puppies with my fists.
All that and enough indie love to make the fat cats of Wall Street break free and live like work shy, over emotional, over opinionated hippies. Which funnily enough describes Silent Hitoshura who was kind enough to suggest this theme to us. So before I cut loose and go live in a cage, here’s some awesome games:
1. Cloud – Free + flOw – Free / PSN + Flower – PSN + Journey – In development
2. Canabalt – Free + Robot Unicorn Attack – Free
3. Super Meat Boy – Xbox Live Arcade - 800 Points (Rising to 1200 from November) / Steam (Coming Soon)
