Neil appears on This Week in Geek

TWIG Nerd News Network – Week of February 21st

Hey, cats and kittens. I made a very special appearance on This Week in Geek to talk briefly about the past week in cartoons but mostly about my other favorite passion, video games! I even dropped some gaming news on the Geeks and came up with a new catchphrase in the process. Sega gives what Nintendon’t. Oh, it’s true.

It was very fun, but unfortunately my ill-prepared state didn’t leave me with much material. I hope to be back again, though. Wish we recorded after the show, because that’s when we started talking cartoons. D’oh!

Episode 9 – Ben’s Top 20

It’s Ben’s top 20 animated series! What made the list? What is number 1? Which cartoon characters are called out for being Poochie? Find out in this 70-minute discussion about cartoons of yesteryear.

On this special episode, we’re joined by webcomic artist Stephanie O’Donnell, author of Perfect Agent. Also, Neil is reunited with childhood friend Jeff Waske.

Episode 7 – X-Men Evolution

A good series that doesn’t get the praise it deserves.  It was a well-written show with characters you actually like, compelling stories, appealing character models, and high quality animation.

Unfortunately, the show was pulled just as it was getting good.

Episode 6 – Spider-Man Unlimited

In this series, Spider-Man creates a new suit that looks nothing like Spider-Man and travels to Counter Earth, where he meets villains that have nothing do with anything that Spider-Man fans want to see.  Except for Carnage and Venom.  …oh wait.

Also, Spider-Man can apparently scale a launch tower faster than a shuttle can take off.  He also announces that he’s taking his pal Peter Parker along, so that nobody on Earth would become suspicious of Parker’s sudden disappearance.

Oh, and Peter’s hair totally looks like Fighter from Final Fantasy.
