Checking In [Podcast]

revoked — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 20:06:37 +0000

Hey all, posting the Borked podcast from January 24th, 2010. We really only checked in on each other’s geekish doings in this one. It’s with a heavy heart that I post this, as this was Jonathan “Jay” Glyer’s last podcast with us, and one of the last times I had a chance to have a conversation with him. This podcast isn’t necessarily “our best one ever” but, for obvious reasons, is one of my favorites.

I do want to say, as somewhat of a warning, what Jay says about his birthday: “is” Jay, I wouldn’t have him any other way, and I loved him for it.

Enjoy,
the rev

“The Netflix One” which is also “The New Video Games One”. We certainly loves us some games and video content, and this week, that’s about all we talk about. So if you hate those things, you probably hate us, so just stop reading this and go away. If you’re still here be prepared to enjoy a lively discussion on TV/Netflix/Hulu/Etc. and then a “borked”-style preview of the Fall 2009 video game releases.

False Start [Podcast]

blitz — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 05:30:45 +0000

Greyhats.com is now home to The Borked Podcast. We created Borked because we kept having geeky conversations, and at the end of them we would all say, “That was interesting. I bet other people would think so, too.”
Borked isn’t a podcast about comic books, or video games, or cool gadgets. We talk about those things when they come up, but we may go weeks without touching on one of those subjects. Borked is a venue for geeks to discuss things that interest them. Though the core contributors are David, Revoked and Jay, our podcast (like the geek subculture which it addresses) is open to anyone with an informed opinion and a passion for any of a broad number of subjects which geeks revere.

This week we talk about:

Star Wars: The Old Republic, the new MMO being developed by Bioware.
Site: http://www.swtor.com/
Cinematic trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BjJaAA5A7w
The iPhone. Specifically, what we think it should do. (Including, “tell me when I’m leaving the house without a belt on”)
WWDC Highlights: http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=4517
BattleNet, Downloadable content, and the future of Blizzard’s ‘World of Warcraft’
Site: http://www.battle.net
Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/

We hope you enjoy our dialogue, and more than that we hope that you’ll contribute to the ongoing exchange of ideas that is so essential to the survival and growth of geekdom.

Until next time, stay nerdy.
