The season finale is upon us.  The last episode of GameChangers is out in the world, ironically where we tackle the first type of gaming there is: Platforming! You see this type of gaming in everything from Donkey Kong to Super Mario Brothers to Assassin’s Creed.   And since we were focusing so much on the games influenced by platforming, OF COURSE we wanted to dress up a little.   While Parkour/Freerunning is an insane workout under any circumstances, what the video isn’t showing you is that we were shooting overnight from 8pm to 6am.  The energy drinks were free flowing almost as much as the sleep-deprivation-induced profanity. “Fuck you, Bear!” became somewhat of a mantra on the day, as we frail GameChanging humans couldn’t compete with the amazingness of the Tempest Academy team.  The Tempest Academy parkour gym is where just about every parkour training video in LA has ...

My poor little five year old PC just couldn’t keep up with my World of Warcraft raiding demands, (i.e. going to like 2 frames per second during the latest boss kill) so for the sake of mine and my guildmates’ sanity, it was time to upgrade.   Naturally the most important decision was what to name my newest little technobaby!  My last two harddrives had been named Skynet and The Matrix, so it had a lot to live up to.  I opened suggestions up to Twitter and was happy and yet not surprised at all about the fantastic ideas.   True to one of the things I love about the nerd world; there were still a few suggestions I had to look up, teaching me yet again that there is always more out there to enjoy. So here is the list of my favorite geektastic suggestions for a new CPU. ...

Tiffany Smith from GeekNation had me and Maude Garrett (Hot Hits, Geek Bombshells) on her podcast today to discuss last night’s Game of Thrones episode (Season 3, Episode 6: The Climb).  We discuss the verbal bitchslaps of Varys, Littlefinger and Tywin, and whether Lady Olenna has bigger balls than all of them combined. http://www.geeknation.com/podcasts/game-of-thrones-recap-review-podcast-ep-6-the-climb/ Whether you’ve read the books or  not, the TV show always has a lot to discuss because of all the delightful character details and conversations that you can absolutely imagine happening behind the scenes, but were never actually written.  It’s a huge credit to the writers that the dialogue is completely on par with the most venom-dripping words George RR ever put down on paper. Between Joffrey’s newfound lows of sociopathic depravity to showing just how heartless Littlefinger can be, the episode wasn’t physically action-packed, but rather a verbal assault on all our favorite characters.  You ...

So I’ve been teasing the action reality show webseries for quite some time now, and I’m happy to say it’s finally online!! GameChangers takes stuff like jetpacks, parkour, zombies and other awesome video game action and brings it to the real world.  Produced by Stage 5 TV, I cohost alongside Lee Reherman (former American Gladiator, “Hawk”) and  Ryan Welsh (Bite Me).  This first episode strapped me and my fellow hosts into jet packs, decided that wasn’t cool enough, and added paintball guns for us to DUEL TO THE DEATH.     I can’t wait for you guys to see more episodes. Here’s the promo for the next episode: ZOMBIES! (sorry, I can’t embed this video for some reason) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LALd-o2Lnik Please like/share/comment on the videos! That’s the only way they keep getting made! Stay tuned to Stage 5 Tv  :) (I just thought about what ‘stay tuned’ actually means and how ...

I admit, I do more than my fair share of electronic gaming. Whether it be Xbox, PC or on my iPhone (so far, I still have to head to a friend’s house to play some PS3), me and games are best buds.  But there are other types of gaming! Types that usually require at least a little face to face human interaction (Eeep!) On March 30th, the peeps over at the awesome YouTube channel Geek & Sundry are hosting International TableTop Day.  The main event will be livestreamed at the G&S offices, but the whole point of the day is that people all over the world will e organizing and hosting tabletop gaming events.  Huzzah! In support of my friends at Geek & Sundry, I made this short calling all gamers to arms to ensure that Felicia Day and Wil Wheaton don’t support TableTop Day alone. I’m not gonna lie, ...
