Status of Unyielding Geekery

Hey everyone,

As you may have noticed, we have not been doing well at keeping the site or podcast updated.  This site is a hobby for all of the contributors and we all rely on free time.  Sadly, this is something we have not had because real life doesn’t care about the internet.  I wanted to put this out there so everyone can understand…We have not abandoned the site.  We are victims to real life events and our time to update the site has become scarce.   With all of that said, we are not going away.  Content/podcast may be a little scarce for a while, but we will update as best as we can.  Hopefully, in the coming weeks/months we will get back to where we were.  Providing you with all of the fun and geeky news you search for.  Please just bare with us as we work out life’s events.  Thank you for all of your support!

Pond Life Online Shorts Lead Up to Doctor Who Series 7 Premiere

This is a little behind, but since Doctor Who is starting again this weekend I felt like I should inform you.  If you don’t know, BBC is running a 5 part mini-series online leading up to the first episode of Doctor Who called “Pond Life”.  The series is 5 brief minute long shorts showing some of the shenanigans that happens when we’re not watching.  Tomorrow will be the last webisode…so if you’re a Doctor Who fan go check them out!  The first installment is above.

.Hack Anime and Games

I have always been a .Hack fan.  I watched .Hack//Sign and played through most of the original .Hack games.  Lately I have been catching up on the anime series which made me think a few things.  With all of the MMOs out there, why has no one tried to introduce some sort of hidden event like .Hack?  WOW always has world, seasonal, and end game events…What if they decided to leave one little NPC to drive a hidden quest line that could tie in to reality?  This type of event would be perfect for folks like me who want to play the game, but not spend every day doing daily quests or dungeons.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about I urge you to look into the .Hack//Sign anime series.  What do you think?  Is this something that would be a game changer for all the MMORPGs out there?

Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Comic Impressions

Last week Marvel released the first issue of Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe.  If you’ve listened to the podcast, you know that I have recently gotten back into comics.  I always ignored them as a kid because I hated reading, but I appreciate comics (and reading) more now that I’m all grown up. I downloaded the first issue through Comixology on day one and I have to say, it’s pretty epic.  Today was the release of the second and it was just as good.  For those of you who don’t want spoilers and are Marvel fans, I highly suggest picking this up or downloading it.  So far the story is interesting, but in order to fully enjoy it you will need to not analyze things.  Impressions and spoilers (if you haven’t read it) after the break.

Star Wars: The Old Republic Goes Free To Play

Today EA announced that the Bioware created MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, will be going free to play this fall.  Players will be able to enjoy the game up to level 50 with a few restrictions.   The restrictions prevent players from accessing new content and some advanced player features, not sure what those are yet, but some of the restrictions can be unlocked by using Cartel Coins.  No specific date was given, but it is coming.  I haven’t played an MMO for quite some time, but I may just have to try this out.

E3 2013 and Beyond Staying in LA

E3 has traditionally been held at the LA Convention Center with a few exceptions.  However, at the end of this years E3 no dates or locations were revealed due to some conflicts with the city of LA and maybe other things.  Today on twitter, the ESA announced that E3 will continue to be held in LA through 2015.  The 2013 E3 event will be held on June 11th through June 13th. Here’s hoping me make it next year!
