US and UK Deals of the Week
I was struggling to find some good deals this week until I ventured to my local GAME and then got a tweet from Henry Knox (also a writer for GeeksFTW and a good one at that).
This weeks US and UK deals of the week are…
A Geeky New Years Resolution
I am not one to do New Years Resolution, but I have been meaning to get certain things accomplished/ change things. Why not make a commitment during the time everyone else does? Why Am I writing about this you might be thinking? Because My New Years Resolutions involve the site/podcast. So without further rambling here they are:
1)Provide more content for the site- Writing reviews about Games(some new and some new to me that I’m catching up on), Movies, Television, Comics/Books, and Tech. I have a back log of games. movies, TV shows and a few comics that I need to complete and will share with you the readers/ listeners. 2011 I plan on acquiring many tech gadgets and will review and share.
2)Expand TheGeeksFTW- I will try to look for more dedicated writers and hopefully get enough content for each Categories of the the Geek Culture instead of just one or two. Possibly add another podcast to the website that focuses on stuff that TheGeeksFTW doesn’t.(If anyone has ideas, suggestions or interested in starting one please contact me)
3)Get the listeners/Readers involved- Bring more guests on the podcast, run more contests, incorporating feedback into the show, and much more.
Overall: I want to grow a community around TheGeeksFTW, give people more reasons to listen, read, and participate with the podcast and website, and above all Entertain You our readers and listeners. So here is to a Geeky 2011!
GeeksFTW DEALS OF THE WEEK
I thought i’d start a little weekly post highlighting two of the best deals available each week. The deals can be anything from video games to Blu-Rays and I’ll post one for the US and one for the UK. Sorry to anybody else but I can’t cover the whole world. So without further ado the first two deals of the week!
Prince of Persia HD Collection
Price: £17.98
Where: Amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/Prince-Persia-Trilogy-HD-PS3/dp/B0042X8V48/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1293826943&sr=8-5
This is the deal that inspired me to start this, hopefully, weekly post. The Prince of Persia series is arguably one of the best gaming franchises ever. The games are consistently great and for roughly £6 per game you aren’t paying much of a premium for the HD and trophy goodness. If you were thinking about buying these games then I’d recommend that you act fast as Amazon is well known for having fluctuating prices day to day. It is also worth noting that if you are in the US and are looking to import the collection this is most likely the best price you will see for a fair amount of time.
Fallout: New Vegas
Price: $34.99
Where: Amazon.com
What can I say? Amazon has great deals. It won’t be like this every week. I promise. Now, Fallout: New Vegas, despite what anybody says about glitches, is a brilliant game. Now that the majority of the glitches have been fixed, most specifically the save game glitches this game is a must own. At $34.99 on both platforms this game is a steal. Also check Fallout 3 if you are new to the series. It is available in a gamestop bargain bin for around $9.99 near you.
I hope that these deals give you an excuse to buy a new great game. If you have any deals that you think deserve a post in the future send me a message on twitter @360cookie

Five reasons for NerdRage!!
With so much going on with everything right now theres a lot of good stuff coming out, at the same time there is a lot of crap things happening in the world of geek. I have a few lists on the go at the moment but this seemed to be the easiest so here goes.
Number 5:
World of Warcraft – Cataclysm
This falls under both good and bad, if you have played the game consistently at each level cap since the start of WoW you will have really seen the game evolve. With so much controversy surrounding Wrath of the Lich King the WoW universe has never been so split, How will Cata come across to the masses? Will it be as charitable to the annoying 12 years olds as WOTLK was? Will it be as much of a grind as Vanilla? Personally I am hoping for it to be more like The Burning Crusade as that was the most enjoyable time in game for me where noobs were noobs, no one pugged end game content and there was a clear structure at max level.
