This week on Geek I/O, we were joined by TWiT's red-haired wonder dude OMGChad of OMGCraft! Things got a little bit nutty and a whole lotta geeky.
We discussed nuclear red hair dye, magic camp, digging ditches at rich people's houses, spamming your own e-mail server, writing code and working the Linux command line (nerds!), getting stuck in The Room's time-suck, drinking and dancing to Justin Beiber with fans, $200 of Pocky, Minecraft, Riven and Myst iPad ports, Rachel gets a shiny new blueberry, science changes the definition of matter states, and Facebook to start charging you to send messages to strangers. Plus! The US Navy is putting frickin' lasers on the USS Ponce!
In this week's Rant and Review we watch the pilot of Beast Wars: Transformers. Do the conveniently named Predacons and Maximals have built-in wifi? How does a laser get jammed? Who would win in a fight between a gorilla and a t-rex? Why do those missiles crack a rock bridge, but destroy a friggin' mountain? Why are super fighting robots so easily defeated by rocks? Why are the super fighting robots OUT OF BREATH?
Do you have bearings of steel chrome? Then join us on Geek I/O!
