The Casting Game Episode #12: Babylon 5


In this episode, Tim Callendar and I cast a remake of the landmark sci-fi TV series Babylon 5, using the cast of the pilot movie The Gathering as the basis.
NOTES: Below are the polls, one per character. You decide which of us did the best job casting that role. Polls close early the day before episode 13 drops in the feed.

Polls are on the Casting Game website, http://castinggame.blogspot.com

Geek of all Trades Episode #101: And So It Begins

Geek of All Trades logoWherein the new geeks introduce themselves and attempt to establish their Geek Cred (and restart the numbering for their first episode, so you didn't miss #53-100).

(Apologies for the mic rattles -- we didn't notice that noise until we'd taped the whole show, and they don't show up in a way I can easily edit them in Audacity. Research will be done to see what caused that to prevent it in future episodes.)

Now the other news; since arkle.silver-gateway.com is switching from just being the mian site for Geek of all Trades to being a sort of hub for all "Arkle Studios" projects, Casting Game show notes will go here to, but with a link to the main poll.

Basically, this site is going to be going through some changes the new week or so. Bear with us.
