Ramblysode 1 having complications

The first ramblysode of our Retro line is going to have to be delayed until tomorrow, the reason why is because the site we use to upload the episodes is being a complete dick right now (well, at least on my computer it is) so don't blame us!

In other news, tomorrow we will be recording episode 11 (yes, the actual episode 11 this time! lol) and Ramblysode 2 for Retro will be recorded on the 1st of November, right after Halloween!

[EDIT:] the ramblysode still has issues with my computer, it has been given to Geoff to upload, it has been finished so all he has to do is simply upload the darn thing...

GeekBeerz Retro Ramblysode 1 recorded!

The first episode, or "Ramblysode", has just been recorded and is going through the editing stages! Hopefully it'll be edited and put online around Halloween time...

Pick your favorite Iron Man Mark!

Iron Man changes his suit more then Hank Pym changes his hero name, but each new suit brings something new and inviting to Stark.

While we wait for the Mark XLVII suit, which will more then likely be the Extremis suit, why dont we take a look at his older mark and find out which ones were the best and coolest. Heck, let us add in War machine's suits for the fun of it.

MARK I: the Tin Man

 

During the months of being held in captivity by the Ten Rings, Tony Stark secretly built the Mark I in order to successfully escape. This Mark is very old school and not shiny or perfect like his other suits. Weapons include the flame thrower and rocket launcher, it can also use jet boosters for flight, but only once and for a very short time. Most mech pieces are outside of the suit as opposed to being inside, which makes those pieces more vulnerable. However it can still put up a fight in combat. It also has no Jarvis or advance technology, which makes it safe from being controlled or overrun by technological based villains like Ultron.

MARK II: Shiny Metal Knight

 Mark II was basically the prototype or demo for the Mark III, it pretty much has all the same functions as the Mark III and IV and the only real difference is the fact that Mark II is not painted. It's really only when Rhodes gets the suit that it actually becomes interesting.

WAR MACHINE (Mark II.5)

The Mark II eventually becomes reconstructed as the War Machine suit. Now the suit has lots and lots of guns! It also has more armor build around the arms, chest, and shoulders. He has his iconic gatling gun on his back, as well as machine guns and hidden pistols on his arms. He also has a hidden missile called "the ex-wife" that sadly does absolutely nothing. He is able to pretty much shoot all his guns at the same time with close to perfect targeting. And above all else, he still has the regular Iron Man weapons like his arc reactor and stuff. Also, does anyone else like the red glow around the eyes and arc reactor instead of the regular blue?

MARK III and IV: Gold and Hot Rod Red

 The main look(s) when you think about Iron Man. Mark III was quickly built after a successful test run with Mark II, and used to save civilians from the Ten Rings and to battle the Iron Monger villain. The suit introduces the shoulder missiles and wrist rockets. The suit also uses the chest unibeam for the first time in the Iron Man films. Mark IV is basic the Mark III, with only some very minor and barely noticeable paint apps to the body (mainly just some gold lining on the stomach metal).

MARK V: Suitcase Win!

The Mark V is easily one of the more unique. It acts more like a "emergency" suit for trouble on the road, those times where an enemy comes by and you don't have access to the suits at home. This suit transforms from a brief case and completely plates the entire body. It is unfortunately a weaker suit, having thinner armor and limited weapons to use. Then again the idea is strong and could lead to stronger/better suits using the same kind of function in the future. 

MARK VI: the New Element

Probably the more iconic look now than the Mark III (and IV I guess), the Mark VI is unique because it was the first suit to try out the new element, the successor to the arc reactor, and also introduces the multi-fire grenade launcher and the infamous laser weapons, which completely owned the Hammer Drones in the second film. The new element is established by the triangular shaped chestplate that replaced the usual circular one. The suit was used to help defeat Hammer Drones and Whiplash, it also helped save the Hellicarrier from a surprise attack planned by Thor's brother Loki.

MARK VII: let's go Avenging!

 We can essentially agree on the fact that this is more so his War suit than the other ones. The Mark VII takes all the good qualities from the other suits to use in the heat of battle, like the Laser weapon and repulsers and mini missiles. It uses a similar idea to the Mark V to transform and consume the body, only instead of a suitcase it's a launch pod that detects silver wrist straps using laser technology. The armor is much more bulky and can handle harder attacks than the other suits can. It may be good to point out that the suit cannot handle space travel.

WAR MACHINE MARK II: War Patriot? Patriot Machine?

Now we're getting to the new suits for the third film, where our only knowledge about them is their looks and possibilities. That Iron Patriot looking suit has been confirmed to be War Machine's new look, and we got no problem with it! It makes sense seeing as how James Rhodes is a captain of the Air Force of the United States, and maybe he's a Captain America fan? Regardless, this is happening and will be seen on the big screen. It appears as though he replaced all his weapons from his original design with new ones, now he has some rifle/laser gun looking thing instead of a gatling gun. His weapons will probably be much stronger too, his original weapons were given to him by Justin Hammer, made by his company Hammer Tech, and this time they will easily be weapons designed by Tony so they should be far more advanced.

MARK XLVII: Extremis!!!

Screw Mark VIII - XLVI, we're heading straight to the Mark XLVII! This suit has the same classic colors but obviously with more gold than red. And from what has been said online and through rumors and other sources, this will actually be his Extremis suit! A suit that grows entirely out of Tony Stark's skin through nano technology, how freaking cool! There are some questions and concerns however, most due to how different this suit will actually be. Will he still use original weapons, and new weapons? Will he still have communication with Jarvis? And how graphic and detailed will it be to see his suit grow in and out of his skin? And why more gold and less red?

Which one is your favorite? While we have no real clue for what the Iron Man 3 armor has in store, we can still get a pretty good assumption from what they will offer, plus there are the other suits too. Please comment or pick your favorite in the poll.

Iron Man 3 will start MCU phase 2, and hit theaters May 3rd, 2013...

GeekFlix officially Retro-fied for good!

GeekFlix now really is no more. The site is now officially anything and everything GeekBeerz Retro, meaning our plans are starting off well.

the website (originally www.geekbeerzflix.blogspot.com) will now be www.geekbeerzretro.blogspot.com, and the entire theme and look has also been changed even though the new theme may not be the official one.

Check it out by the link titled "Retro" in the contributing links section and tell us what you think about it so far, doe it need something or is it ok the way it's presented now? Please let us know...

Special Announcment: Introducing GeekBeerz Retro!

GeekFlix is no more! During the countless months of planning and observing our current situations I am glad to announce our new series: GeekBeerz Retro!

GeekBeerz Retro (or aptly considered GB Retro or GBR) is pretty much the new name for GeekFlix and more! We mentioned doing that this as a new series though, which it is. The GeekFlix podcast series that we've been promising is actually the new Retro series! We do plan to make our current GeekBeerz episodes better with time and much needed improvements. The Retro series, which will mostly cover world, movies, and TV news, will also pretty much act like the much needed "inbetween" episodes of the GeekBeerz episodes, basically a Directors Cut series that can co-exist with the current stuff without getting in the way.

While we promise the series will not be super Rambly at all, the episodes will actually be called "Ramblysodes" as a joke. Their are currently ten Ramblysodes planned and each will be approximately an hour to an hour and a half. We will cover news involving Movies, TV shows and occasionally World news if need be. Since it's a Directors Cut kinda series, you will also get to know us individually a bit better and learn about our weekly whereabouts. Well will also do movie and TV shows, even though more exact reviews will STILL be on the original GeekFlix site (which is getting renamed Retro in the future). And we will conclude most or every episode with something that has never been really done before:

                                                             Giveaways and Prizes!!!

Now don't expect to win a Plasma Screen or anything that extreme. The prizes will either be small, cheap, or unique but they will definitely NOT be worthless! We may do this for every other episode, which means a few episodes will skip this event. Or perhaps every other episode will announce the winners. Now when these giveaways and contests do happen, they will be a big question that you will have to try a answer as best as you can, the best answer will obviously win. You can enter these contests by FaceBook, Gmail, Email, or just on this friggin site!

More info soon to come ASAP...

Coming Soon: Tom's Metal Gear Solid Ultimate Review!

Currently I have been obsessed with everything Metal Gear, and what better way to pass the time before rising comes out than to grab all four Metal Gear Solid titles?

I now have Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, complete with Metal Gear Online and Trophy achievements, and I very recently got and played the Metal Gear Solid HD collection for the Vita which includes the second and third game, along with some multiplayer and map stuff. I am still need to get the first game, I just need the spare money to do so.

After playing through all of them, however long that may take, I will very precisely and thoroughly review each game in one mega big review. Is there any more Solid games in the series (other than any future or upcoming games?) Is there a game similar or in the same franchise that you would suggest for me to also try out? Feel free to send requests or comments ASAP...

(P.S. is it worth getting Metal Gear Solid HD collection for the Vita? Absolutely! It is the best way to play the games from what I've seen.)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GEOFF!!!

Today, twenty years ago, a creature named Geoff was born to this world. Geoff over the years has grown to love classic games from Nintendo and Sega, preferably Sonic mostly. Geoff has also grown to love a wide variety of Anime and Manga from all sorts of media. He soon became friends with Shrew, then later on Tom and Bergy. He is the founder and leader of GeekBeerz and he also edits our episodes. His favorite drink is Bawls root beer and he is currently a Brony, yes Geoff is a fricken Brony but we still love em (however he's wasting money on Pony figures when he should be buying games! lol).

Happy Birthday Geoff! And we hope you have an amazing day!

Episode 11 will actually be Episode 10.5

Once again, to no surprise, there is a huge delay for our next podcast episode. But we need time to make sure every new episode is better than the last.

After careful agreement, it has been decided that this next episode will actually be called episode 10.5 due to actually not being a complete episode (most things talked about like PAX had to be delayed til a later episode, despite this one only being barely 2 hours).

This is so everyone understands and can keep track of our current progress, until next time...
