Well it’s happened, I’ve joined up with my fellow Team Hack-A-day members to collaborate on a new project.  I’m officially presenting to you, ahead of schedule, a site that is for geeks, by geeks.   What I truly mean to say is that we are going to be like your geeky co-worker, bringing stuff to you that we think you’ll find interesting.  Whether it be info about making beer, what games to play, or even about new tech; we’ll be there standing at your cube with our coffee mug saying “Dude, did you hear that you can’t even hold the new iPhones to make calls?”  We’ll, you’ll actually have to come find us and you can do so by heading to the Geek Republic.  In Geek We Trust!

One of my fellow Hawty McBloggy Hawty McForums member Rowboat 000 finally finished a montage of his Halo: Reach multi-player beta experience.  Besides the fact that ends up being a pretty cool montage, something weird happens at the 44 second mark.  During one of his headhunter games, he’s given the option to pick up a skull as if in oddball mode.

Here is the montage:

And in case you missed it, here is a screen shot that I took of the occurance.

Here is the second episode in a series of shorts for the upcoming Crackdown 2.

Ok, So here’s the deal.  Netflix sent me four 1 month trial codes for me to giveaway to friend and family.  Since none of my close friend or family are interested right now, I’d like to make some new friends to give these too.  If you’d like one of these codes, simply comment below.  Be sure to use a valid e-mail address or I won’t know how to send you the code.  Friday May 7th at 4:00 PM Central US time I will draw names.

That’s right, the Blur beta I was telling  you about a few weeks ago is now open to all!  Simply head over to the Xbox Live Marketplace listing and click to get it queued up to download to your own 360.  The other news is that recently the Blur Beta expanded itself from a level 10 cap to a level 15 cap allowing an expanded look at cars and other power-ups.

Why not take a look for yourself?  Blur is being described not only by it’s creators, but also by the people playing it as Mario Cart meets Project Gotham Racing.  Of course, it could be they say this because the developer MADE PGR!  See for yourself!
