		<description><![CDATA[At last week's Comic-Con, your's truly had the unbelievable good luck to get several minutes of one-on-one time with Jewel Staite about her new role as Doctor Jennifer Keller on Stargate: Atlantis. Jewel talks about what it's like being the new kid on Atlantis, compares Dr. Keller to her favorite role, Kaylee on Firefly/Serenity, and how much she hates doing "doctor babble".]]></description>

When you tire of trolls, elves leave you empty, and ancient nameless horrors only elicit a yawn, there&#8217;s nothing quite so renewing as a good bout of role-playing in a post-apocalyptic, dystopian near-future where the only magic is the death that your boom-stick rains upon the legions of mutant abominations that roam a fractured landscape.

		<description><![CDATA[I'm fairly sure this will be the one and only time I will ever say this, but I wish I had the right to vote in Finland. In what may well be the first time a Politician running for a national office has based his campaign on appealing to geeks (and not just any geeks, mind you, but geeks who understand Klingon), Jyrki J.J. Kasvi, current member of Finland's Parliament, just relaunched his website in three languages – Finnish, English and, yes, Klingon.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently tried out an early beta of what Turbine Inc. and Midway Games Inc. hope will be the next big thing in online role-playing games – Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar. And while this was a limited-access beta test meant to gauge server performance (the open beta test doesn't start until the end of March), I'm here to tell you the platform was solid, the graphics were awesome and the overall gaming experience, while enjoyable, will be nothing new to the millions of players already addicted to Blizzard's World of Warcraft.]]></description>

The podcast scores a 10 on the Geek-o-Meter for some of the most inspired rants in any medium on any subject. Oh, the reviews are good, too.]]></description>

Her ability to emulate Matt Groening's drawing style is eclipsed only by her ability to capture The Simpsons writers' classic wit (back when the Simpsons was, you know, funny.) ]]></description>

Your "I Hate Macs" column is an absolutely brilliant summation of what's wrong with those Mac versus PC commercials.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, it's not the "I'd Like To Give The World a Coke" holiday commercial, but it's still good to end off our round-up of the best and worst ads from Super Bowl XLI with something a little upbeat. The folks at Coca-Cola get special kudos (and a 10 on the Geek-o-Meter) for using one of the uglier trends to come out of gaming in recent years and turn it into a Broadway show tune. All the while still staying true to the genre the ad is sending up. Nicely done.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Quick check: What century is it? I found this one to be more than a little narrow-minded and homophobic; unless, of course, it was their breath that caused them to recoil. This gets a 1 on the Geek-o-Meter, only because we don't have a graphic for 0.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here at The Geek Beat, we really like GoDaddy.com. In fact, GoDaddy is our domain and server host. They offer fantastic prices and about as close to 100 percent uptime as is humanly possible for any server provider.

But why a domain and web host services company does these horrible commercials that objectify women, insult their customers' intelligence and aren't even that sexy, is beyond me.

GoDaddy service gets a 9 on the Geek-o-Meter. Unfortunately, we're rating the commercial, which gets a 2 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Garmin gets top marks for doing what may well prove to be the geekiest commercial of Super Bowl XLI. I loved this send-up of those Japanese rubber-suited Ultraman shows from the '70s; the map monster was especially fun.

Unfortunately, as a geek culture purist, I need to knock off a couple points for using an Ultraman look-alike, versus the real deal. Garmin gets a 7 on the Geek-o-Meter for bringing back such fond childhood memories.]]></description>

Although, frankly, if the auctioneer had auctioned off, say, the gifts, or even the happy couple, that might have been funnier. We give it a 5 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[here's a brilliant parody of those increasingly annoying Mac vs. PC commercials. You know, the ones where the chubby, frumpy guy (played brilliantly by John Hodgman of Daily Show fame) is the PC and the handsome, shabby chic guy (played annoyingly by Justin Long of nothing in particular) is the Mac. Frankly, I like the PC a lot better than the Mac. And, as a Mac enthusiast, I really resent having my favorite platform portrayed as having as much personality as a wrung-out dish towel.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Geek-o-Meter: Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy not only scores a 10 on the Geek-o-Meter, it's also our top pick for a PSP game this holiday. Cute, clever and complex game design, terrific graphics, incredible replay value and a wicked sense of humor all make this game a winner. Its broad appeal also makes Star Wars II unique as a game appreciated equally by men and women, children and adults. And as for humor, let's just say, " The Farce Will Be With You, Always."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Geek-o-Meter: While Star Trek: Tactical Assault has many strong points, it also has weak points. The controls can be a little confusing and gameplay can be very difficult at times. But for a DS game, the graphics are good and I liked the plot of the story in campaign mode, so I'm giving it an 8 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

The company announced today it will replace about 3.2 million of the wrist straps that came with the Wii game console.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Geek-o-Meter: The $250 Wii brings something to gaming that's been missing for a while – fun. Nintendo's ability to maintain its innocence while appealing equally to both male and female gamers in an increasingly testosterone-driven business is nothing short of remarkable. Oh yeah, and the Wiimote is a blast. We give it a 9 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

If you have an XBOX 360 and want to play HD DVD discs, Microsoft's XBOX 360 HD DVD Player is a steal at $200, even without factoring in a free movie and universal remote. If you have to buy a 360 and a drive, the combined cost is still competitive with stand-alone players: it's practically like getting a 360 free with your HD DVD player. We give it a 10 on the Geek-o-Meter.]]></description>

Shadowmagic is the story of a boy taken at birth from a magical land to live in the mundane world. He is a teenager and unaware of his history when that magical land reenters his life – rather abruptly.
Sound familiar? Well, yes, on the surface, Shadowmagic does sound a bit like Harry Potter. However, whereas [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today marks an important milestone in Geek Culture, one I couldn't let it pass without paying at least brief homage. It was 40 years ago today that a cheesy, low-budget TV show premiered on NBC. A show that would inspire legions of Geeks and leave a legacy of ideas so profound, it continues to influence science, technology and culture four decades later. That show is Star Trek.]]></description>

It's appealing family fun with wholesome humor, some valuable lessons for kids and a story line that’ll grab audiences of all ages. The ending is predictable but still completely satisfying and there is some genuine emotional heft to the sequel that even the original couldn't quite manage to pull off.]]></description>
