In this episode, the Shots crew dissects the Lost finale, which was just chock-full of all manner of tasty nuggets. Is Ben good or bad? How many toes does Richard have? And what was up with that damn frozen donkey wheel??!
The crew also delivers an in-depth review of the new Mario Kart Wii. Along with the in-depth analysis that we’ve come to expect from Shots in the Dark, you can also expect to hear a tip or two that will be sure to help you finish first in your next kart race. All this, and a Gatling Geek with reviews of Trinity #1 and Ultimate Origins too. What a deal!So what are you waiting for? Hit play!
In this week’s episode, Vince, Imoticon, Halcylon and The Viceroy wax philosophical on the amazing phenomenon of Xbox achievements. Have they enhanced games or taken something away from the experience? After another rousing edition of Gatling Geek, offering the Shots in the Dark opinions on the latest pop culture news, the crew digs deep into the competitive world of Xbox achievements.
In this episode of Shotgun Review’s official podcast, the crew unleashes the very first Gatling Geek review segment, reviewing a bevy of comics, video games and technology in a minute or less. You’ll hear reviews of Risers by Martin Fisher, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Super Mario Galaxy, Titans #1, Battlestar Galactica and Twitter. If you’re yet unfamiliar with the wonders of Twitter, fear not! Lucas will enlighten you. Lucas, Halcylon and Imoticon also deliver an extended review of Rainbow 6 Vegas 2 or “R6V2″ as Halcylon affectionally refers to it.
We’re back this week with a happy blend of comic book and video game reviews. Janelle provides her in depth review of The Sims 2: FreeTime expansion pack and a preview of The Sims 3. Then the team dives into a look at Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield’s curious experiment: FreakAngels. We’ve also included a couple of Easter Eggs for you. Take a listen and see if you can find them!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s the 28th, not the 16th. This one was my bad, folks. Computer issues not withstanding, there’s little to no excuse for getting a show to you two weeks after it was recorded. Luckily, it’s a kick-ass episode, filled with bits about Green Arrow, Sopranos, and Vince’s Wii. So sit back, relax, play some Wii Sports, and listen to us ramble on about everything geeky!
That’s right, the moment you’ve ALL been waiting for…..

Well, here we are. Shots in the Dark- you don’t see us, but you always hear us. I’m Lucas, aka The Geek, and I’m here to welcome you to a new era.
What was the old era, you ask? Well, we’re not gonna talk about that much. Let’s just say there WAS an old era, and all 6 core members of this fantabulous new blog/podcast team have worked together on a different podcast previously. In addition to that, Janelle and I have been writing for Best Shots and Shotgun Reviews for a while now.
What’re we bringing to this new era? I’m so glad you asked! First and foremost, we are a Podcast team. There’re tons and tons of podcasts out there nowadays, but not a lot that cover the broad range of “Geek Culture” that we do here. Between our original content in the form of bits, segments, and more to come, and our amazing interviews with people like nerdcore rapper MC Lars and DC Senior Editor Mike Marts (and that was just in a 3 week span!), we are going to bring nothing but the best to your tempanic membranes. For those who are more visually stimulated, that’s why we have our full site, and of course, this here BLOG
As for Reviews, we’ll be reviewing just about everything under the sun. We have cool reviews coming up on some newish Nintendo DS games, and some hot gear from Logitech. If you’re wondering if you should be throwin down those hard earned ducketts on something, we’ll let you know here.
So, if you’ve heard us talk before, you’re in for the best of the old and a whole crapload of exciting new.
If you’re a new listener/reader, welcome! We officially launch on April 7th, and we’ll be jumping into this thing head first. Stay tuned for the announcement on our exact topic- we want to keep you in suspense a little longer.
Until then, visit our site, talk to us on our forum, and most importantly, geek out!
