Looks like the wait is finally over, for some. Netflix has just released an Android App that is compatible with HTC Incredible, Nexus One, Evo 4G, and G2, plus the Samsung Nexus S. Hopefully we will see more devices compatible with this app. If your lucky enough to have one of these devices then check the link I provide out and download it now!

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!

GEEK Of The Year Staff’s Picks
TV Spotlight – The Big Bang Theory
“A fear of heights is irrational. Fear of falling however is prudent and evolutionaryâ€
Ok so when I was thinking about what I would want my first article on this site to be I thought, what is universally appreciated by geeks? It came to me almost straight away, The Big Bang Theory. This has been one of my favourite TV shows in the past few years just because it works on so many levels. I came across it by total fluke, flicking through the channels after my wife had gone to bed and I paused and thought….is that David from Roseanne?? I laughed to myself for a moment and thought wow I bet this is pants, after literally 30 seconds of watching I realised I could not have been more wrong. After getting really into the first season I decided not to get too attached as I thought not enough people would “get it†to justify a second season. Again wrong! Season Four recently out in the UK and the show picking up awards and nominations left, right and centre this is THE show for a geek of any level.

This is the very first recording of The GeeksFTW! Podcast. We call it our Pilot Episode because we recorded to see how things would go between the three of us. Turns out we got along well enough to keep putting out more Podcasts that have gotten better and better. Our main topics for The Pilot Episode were Borderlands, The Boondock Saints, Spider-Man The Animated Series,Spider-Man Web of Shadows, and Star Wars The Force Unleashed.
