Special GeekBeerz opportunity: Ask us Anything!
Geoff thought it would be a good idea to do something new to our next episode. Please give us questions!You can ask us anything as long as it isn't too stupid or too personal. It can be about the past, present, future of GeekBeerz, it can be a question about one of the four of us, heck it can be about our favorite color...
Possible game plans on hold for a little while + announcement
We have not made a clear decision yet amongst ourselves, but we do wish to further inspect the possibility. Meaning that any project of the sort will be put on hold for now. This is mostly due to members Shrew and Bergy having to know more about what was spoken amongst me and Geoff.
What the Crap is going on with Pokemon Black 2 and White2???
Conquest just recently came out and was fairly appraised, now next up are Game Freak's very first handheld main series sequels, Pokemon Black 2 and White 2.
What's new? they just announced that these two games will be coming out this year on October 7th! And through our silence about this game, many new creature forms have surfaced.

Dark Souls copies pre-ordered!
Hey guys it's Tom again. In case you all haven't known yet, me and dudes Shrew and Geoff have pre-ordered the collectors edition of the "sequel" to the hardest game ever made, Dark Souls! Geoff and Shrew will be getting this for the XBOX 360 version while I get it for the PS3, it is unknown if our fourth member, Taylor, will be getting this pre-order.
I own the first game Demon's Souls, which is a PS3 exclusive, and I can assure you that it is INDEED the hardest and most frustrating game I own. I may never beat it within this year, and heaven forbid whatever comes out of Dark Souls, which is said to be even harder than Demon's Souls. We will most likley be mentioning this again in our next podcast, so until next time. (p.s. also when I get my pre-order I'll be recording a first hands look at the pre-order which will be put on this site and possibly YouTube.) -Tom West

3DS reveal
Hey guys this is Tom, a member of GeekBeerz, you may have seen my other sites ZA4M and STAT. Anyways I put up a video of me and Shrew opening up his 3DS for the first time. Here is the video:
Pretty cool huh?
We admit that it was hard to get use to the 3D, almost made my head hurt from looking too long, but overall it is a nice new piece of technology. -Tom West

Minecraft Creator Challenges Bethesda
Recently, Notch, the brilliant mind behind the hit game Minecraft, announced the title and details about his next game Scrolls. Shortly after, Bethesda found out about it and filed a lawsuit against him saying that the title, "infringes on their trademark and everyone will confuse it with Skyrim."
Now, in my opinion, the reason that they're saying Scrolls would get confused with Skyrim is absurd. I mean, yes, technically the full title is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but no one even addresses anything before the colon. Everyone who knows about these games calls them Morrowind or Oblivion.
In response to all this nonsense, Notch has sent a challenge back to Bethesda:
The only negative thing going on at this moment is the Scrolls trademark lawsuit nonsense, and I think I came up with the perfect solution:Remember that scene in Game of Thrones where Tyrion chose a trial by battle in the Eyrie? Well, let’s do that instead!
I challenge Bethesda to a game of Quake 3. Three of our best warriors against three of your best warriors. We select one level, you select the other, we randomize the order. 20 minute matches, highest total frag count per team across both levels wins.If we win, you drop the lawsuit.If you win, we will change the name of Scrolls to something you’re fine with.Regardless of the outcome, we could still have a small text somewhere saying our game is not related to your game series in any way, if you wish.
Bethesda has yet to respond to this, but if they accept the challenge, I'm hoping everything ends well...with a livestream going so everyone else can watch the carnage. :)

New 3DS Color and Price Drop
You know black and blue are great colors for Nintendo to start with, I mean they have been beat up so much that now all they are black and blue bruises trying to fix the problems they have created. Now seems like Nintendo is making the right choice, starting September 9 of the year 2011 Nintendo will be releasing the new Cherry Red 3DS (color not specific to cherry red alone) and dropping the price from the overly expensive amount of $250, down to a reasonable $170. Personally if i were Nintendo I would have taken a vote among the people of japan to find out what colors they would prefer. The way I see it the choices would not fall as blue being the second choice among consumers, it most likely would have been Black, Red, Green, Blue, then either purple or orange. I believe Nintendo released the blue at first to appeal more to the rising female generation of video gamers, its no longer a guys club anymore, and then the black for the neutrality of the color making it suitable for all.
Personally I would have chosen purple, mostly because its a color that's not often used, and when talking to Geoff earlier about the 3DS colors he would have liked to see green growing up from out of the ground. The colors Black, Blue, and Red have been used so much by Nintendo that it would have been a nice relief to see some more prominent colors. This price drop will significantly improve the sales of the 3DS, I might consider getting one now that its in my price range, but why such a significant drop in price? Well the release of the 3DS was a failure for Nintendo in many ways, with an amazing new generation of handheld devices who wouldn't want it? and after the release many of us were wondering "where are all of these games Nintendo promised us!" Well here they come, several new games are coming out just in time for the holiday rush and all of the people out there who were on the edge of fence questioning which way jump, now you no longer have to wonder, the 3DS will become a great handheld system you just have to give it a little more time, so buy it now.
