Welcome back!
The gang opens this week’s episode with Geek Cuisine! We’re enjoying the less-scary-than-Turkey-flavored Jones Soda Carbonated Candy! Which one breaks Christina’s streak of liking every candy we’ve tried.
Brad’s overwhelming the bookshelves this week with his new Babylon 5 books. He’s got the J. Michael Straczynski Script Books volume 11, Across Time and Space: The Chronologies of Babylon 5 and But In Purple…I’m Stunning: Quotations From Babylon 5. Do you have a favorite Babylon 5 quote? Call in! E-mail us! Ashlee has picked up the Mirror’s Edge books.
Christina did some Black Friday shopping, and got Kenneth Branagh’s Hamlet, Into The Woods, second season of House, season 3 of Supernatural, and Passion on dvd. Brad’s got Eureka season one, the second season of Torchwood, and Heroes on blu-ray. Adam has picked up Batman:The Dark Knight. Glenn’s got Lost, which spurns a conversation about the theories of the final season, and various series finales. We talk about Wanted, Day The Earth Stood Still and Punisher. Andy enjoys the Geekness of his son, and his triumph at Lord of the Rings Trivia. Brad’s pride and joy for the week is Firefly on Blu-ray.
We go for a second round of Jones Soda Carbonated Candy and Ashlee and Adam face mortal danger and combine the weird flavors!
In closing, Christina’s got a new mantra, and the gang talks about Portal and Brad’s insatiable collection of Firefly. What was your geekiest Christmas/Holiday present? Let us know? Do you have Christmas and/or Boxing Day fetish like Adam and Andy? Ashlee asks that we all infect our friends with The Big Bang Theory.
Promos come graciously from The One Tree Hill Podcast and The Future Traditions Podcast. Thanks for the song “Shows I’d Rather Watch Than Knight Rider” by Skiznot.

We welcome Ashlee, and our Number One Groupie, Andy (aka Freehold South) into the studio this week!
Christina starts off recent activity with her new game My Tribe, and proceeds to frighten them all with her many methods of Sim-related torture. Adam has been watching Big Bang Theory and Chuck while regenerating his X Box after its Red Ring of Death. Andy, new to the X Box world, fondly recalls his Intellivision. Ashlee is playing Left For Dead, raiding comic book stores, and learning to love Red Dwarf. Brad is wending his way through the inner-workings of Ubuntu and Wubi.
Thank you to Ed Gizmo for his voicemail and his much-appreciated perspective on Twilight to counterpoint Andy’s.
Geek Cuisine consists of the holly and jolly flavors of Candy Cane and Christmas Cocoa flavored Jones Sodas.
Six Geeks A-Gaming….
Glenn is forever lost in World of Warcraft, and the zombies have Adam and Ashlee as they find themselves Left For Dead. Brad’s squinting through Dead Rising and owning the planet in Fable 2. He’s picked up Spiderman Friend or Foe and Lego Batman. What 360 games would you recommend for Andy and his son? Which universes would you like to see Lego-ized?
Geek And Tell finds Brad once again up to his spark plug in Transformers, and Ashlee glows about her one-of-a-kind gamers charm bracelet.
Promotion this week comes from The Zombie Channel.
