Geek Syndicate Episode 7 - The hangover episode
Episode Duration: 0 days, 1 hours, 12 minutes and 20 secondsWe apologise for the general apathy and lethargy displayed during episode 7. This was due to circumstances (alcohol) beyond our control. Anyway in this episode we discuss the delights of some of the games on the Xbox 360 namely Dead Rising (a teddy bear as an offensive weapon surely not), Gears of War and Rainbow Six Las Vegas.
The upcoming Preacher TV series is discussed as well the new Starship Troopers movie. Dave rants about the Sony mp3 player and Barry finally blows his top over Smallville. Several new Tv soundtracks are also mentioned.
In the middle of all of this we do our most difficult review so fara|the last ever (barring the epilogue) issue of Planetary and out thoughts on the series as a whole (minor spoilers).
Oops.. nearly forget and the competition winner is announced.

Geek Syndicate - Sword and Sorcery Special
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 44 secondsYears passed and rumours began to rumble through the outland kingdoms about a pair of fearless adventurers. Warriors, who roamed trackless deserts, mighty mountains and shining seas. These rumours grew into legends about these men who were at once; buccaneers, slaves, rouges and now Geeks for hire.
This is the tale of the time the Geek Syndicate crossed swords with the keeper of the vaults of Telos. Their quest was to find classic sword and sorcery movies lost in the mists of time and space. To discard the unworthy (dungeons and dragons) and bring back the treasured few (Lord of the rings, Conan, Excalibur) for the whole kingdom to enjoy, no matter the risk.
Come with me now and listen to a Podcast of high adventure!

Geek Syndicate Torchwood Special Episode
Episode Duration: 0 days, 0 hours, 47 minutes and 48 secondsTo all the Geek Syndicate listeners, my name is Bucky a friend of the guys you will know if you listen to the show.
I received this mp3 by encrypted email from David yesterday with intructions that should I receive no word from either of them by monday I should publish this podcast.
As yet I have been unable to reach Barry or David and I fear the worst. I told them not to review the first three episodes of Torchwood that there are those that might not like what they have to say. That there would be factions outside of the law,beyond the government who would stop at nothing to stop Geek Syndicate from revealing massive spoliers for each of the three episodes.
Sadly after listening to the show I was more right I could have dreamed.
Listen to perhaps the Geek Syndicate's last ever podcast and make your own minds up.
