Shortly after the wonderful weekend we had at SunnyCon we received an invite to a cosy little charity convention up in Gateshead called Cherricon, so we decided to take a trip there to investigate. What we found was a rather pleasant day out, a great atmosphere, lots of baking, and […]

S09E01 – SunnyCon 2014 Special + Extra
Welcome to the 9th series of The Geek Show, and kicking things off here’s our special for SunnyCon 3. We had a great time over the weekend (barring some snoring issues), and we met and interviewed some amazing people including the fabulous J. Michael Tatum, the wonderful Quinton Flynn, the […]
S08E24 – E3 2014 Special
The Electronic Entertainment Expo rolls around again, but there was surprisingly little in the way of handbags at dawn between Microsoft and Sony. Meanwhile, Nintendo were off in a corner doing strange, mad things with their presentation. Let us know what you thought of E3 in the comments below. This week’s […]
S08E08 – Animex 2014 Special Part 2
Animex is arguably one of the most unique opportunities that students will have during their time at the University of Teesside (or any university for that matter), and while related festivals and copycats are appearing the world over, the original is still the best. Here at The Geek Show we […]
S08E07 – Animex 2014 Special Part 1
February is a special time for everyone at The Geek Show because a particular annual event happens during the month. There’s excitement in the air, and some of us tend to get a bit starry-eyed. You guessed it. It’s time for Animex. Reviews – Toukiden: Age of Demons, Ys: Memories […]
S07E22 – Christmas 2013 Special

S0E05 – ONECon 2013 Special
We’re big fans of conventions in the North of England so it’s only natural that we were eager to witness the birth of a new one – and to make things even better it was in our home town! The ONECon committee gave us a lovely room so we could […]
S06E23 – ConFuzzled 2013
One of the wonderful things about geeks is that we come in all shapes, sizes, ages, races and eccentricities – cosplayers, gamers, steampunks, gadgeteers, nerds, otaku of all types, wargamers, bronies, role-players, chiptuners, comic/manga artists and more. Of all the subcultures in our vast community though, furries are amongst the […]

So the Electronic Entertainment Expo – or E3 as it’s more widely known – is upon us once more, but this year we’ve been expecting major announcements from Sony and Microsoft about their respective next generation consoles. Join us as we consider the opening gambits in what looks to be a […]
