Geek Herring (2024)

Read the next post, for more information on what is going on with Geek Herring!

22/09/2021

Everything in life has a season and sometimes there are things that are more important and have the highest priority above absolutely everything else.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Which is why we have to let you know today, that Geek Herring - the Podcast, as well as the Stream are going on a hiatus for an unknown period of time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We started the podcast together almost 3 years ago out of sheer spite and nobody thought we were going to last for even a month, and we have loved doing it every step of the way - yes there were times we struggled a bit, but we always motivated each other and cheered each other on. We met amazing people for our interviews, we learned from each other and from others, we moved to Twitch and we just all in all had an amazing time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But now Amanda’s focus needs to be with her family during probably the absolute worst time of her life. Which is why, everything else just becomes not important at all. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ll be back eventually. The Discord will stay as it is, and we hope you stay here and chat along with us still until we come back again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We don’t know when that will be or what that will look like, and at the moment it doesn’t really matter. We will keep you informed when it happens. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now all that matters is that we all appreciate how much love we have around each other, for each other and for people in our lives. And not take a single one for granted. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thank you for being part of our journey, for supporting us, for becoming our friends and for sharing a bit of yourselves with us along the way. We will always carry that with us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Diversity in games is essential.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When people dismiss representation as a political fad, they are not thinking of what it's like for those without this perspective of privilege. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When people say that representation is an imposition on the creative process, they don't realize that they have the privilege to say that. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When people say representation is just ticking off lists, they are saying that marginalized people don't deserve to be recognized.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Marvel has released a new trailer for Eternals, and it is freaking AWESOME.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We finally get to see them in action facing the Deviants. We can also catch a glimpse of a Celestial, the cosmic god said to create The Eternals and also The Deviants.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Finally, we know why the Eternals didn’t fight Thanos.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"We were instructed not to interfere in any human conflicts unless Deviants were involved."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Guess that instruction came from The Celestials.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Did you like the trailer?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Excited about these superheroes?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let us know in the comments!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Any old-school gamers out there?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Metal Slug is back, but a little bit different this time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Metal Slug Tactics is a fresh start on Metal Slug that moves the classic style into a new dimension. Of course, we will still experience the detailed pixel art and explosive action, but we will also experience tactical combat mechanics and much more. This time you will have the chance to place your troops correctly on the battlefield. Get ready for an all-new Metal Slug experience when Metal Slug Tactics launches for Nintendo Switch in 2022.

HELLOOO FRIENDS! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just want to keep you updated on what is going on in GH HQ. Amanda went back to Canada last week, which means that there will not yet be a Podcast schedule this month.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Going forward we'll change the format of the Podcast in general. We will be recording bi-weekly on Tuesday at 3 PM UK time on Twitch and will talk about 3 topics for about 20 minutes at a time - it will be less "sit back and watch" but we hope for it to be a bit more interactional with the viewers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These 20-minute segments will then be released as individual episodes every Monday instead of Friday. We will still be doing interviews with people, because - they are always the most fun, and I think also something that our viewers enjoy more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When it comes to streaming games, Amanda will let you know about the schedule as soon as she's settled in again - but that won't be in August yet - the Internet is DEFINITELY better now so that won't be a problem. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I will continue as usual Friday mornings and Sunday mornings. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks for being around the way you are and for supporting us the way you do!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Ghostbusters: Afterlife trailer is here⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A new Ghostbusters: Afterlife is here, and it has Carrie C**n and Paul Rudd as main characters. But it all seems that McKenna Grace's Phoebe and Finn Wolfhard's Trevor are the new generation of Ghostbusters. No doubt about it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although, the trailer is pretty cool. There are a few questions to be answered⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Will be Gozer back?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Will we get to see Bill Murray as rumored?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’re gonna have to wait.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you excited about the new Ghostbusters film?

Call of Duty?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
World of Warcraft?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More like Call of Idiots or⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
World of Sexual Harassment!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The last weeks have been a living hell for Activision Blizzard, due to allegations coming to light through a lawsuit filed by the California Department of Fair Employment & Housing [DFEH].⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A 2-year investigation has revealed pay discrimination, sexual harassment, and a general “frat culture” at the company. The report unleashed a s**tstorm on social media that has not stopped by one second, especially since Activision Blizzard CEO Bobby Kotick acknowledged the thread as “tone deaf.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
More than 1,000 employees at Ubisoft signed a statement in solidarity.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“We had the illusion that every voice matters. We had the illusion of the values. They were good values. But they were very much used by some people.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“It was amazing to see how much people came together in this moment,” said a Blizzard employee who asked to remain anonymous.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“WoW makes money, so the people at the top of WoW are untouchable, which means they get away with lots of s**t."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“Men would walk into the breastfeeding room. There was no way to lock the door. They would just stare and I would have to scream at them to leave.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As you can see, it is pretty fu**ed up.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you think?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All our hearts and minds are with the victims of this case, and we really hope some of them can find closure, and that justice can be done.

Horizon Forbidden West has been delayed into 2022 according to multiple reports.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The upcoming sequel to Guerrilla Games' Horizon Zero Dawn, won’t be here this year as initially planned.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Although it’s no surprise, at this point we are all used to the fact that games are never released as first announced. The same will happen with the God of War sequel, and we can 100 percent guarantee that.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Well, we’ll just keep waiting and waiting⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Will it be worth it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you think?

On Saturday, pinknews.co published an important article about the representation of asexuality in games in which our very own Moni was given a platform to talk about her view.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"When I grew up there was zero representation, no mention of asexuality anywhere and as a teenager, you mimic what others do, and think that’s how it’s supposed to be and just hope at some point your body and your mind will catch up.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The great reason for the article: The Outer Worlds, a game with an asexual character!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Curious? Check the link in our bio to read the full article and learn about what asexuality actually is and NOT.

What would be a self-care month without our self-care podcast episode? New month starts on a Sunday, a day to relax ;) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Self-care. It’s a hot topic right now, and not without good reason. It’s an essential practice for our health – but as geeks, what’s best for us?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let’s face it. All those Insta posts about self-care being baths, yoga, and meditation are bulls**t. Like okay, Karen, if that’s you, you do you.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But that’s not all self-care is.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Self-care is any activity that lets your body and, maybe, more importantly, your mind relax.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This week, we’re talking about the self-care practices that we, as geeks, business owners, podcast hosts, and Twitch streamers do regularly. From creating a schedule and routine to reading cosy books to streaming on Twitch.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The most important message is that your self-care can look like whatever you want it to. Don’t let anyone else dictate what your self-care should look like. Do what makes YOU happy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What are your favourite ways to practice self-care? Let us know in the comments here or come join us on Discord!

Dead Space Remake announced⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
That’s right!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The famous horror franchise is back.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just when we thought all hope was lost, EA has officially announced a remake of the 2008 classic.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So far, EA has only revealed a short trailer of the game.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In an interview with IGN Creative Director, Roman Campos-Oriola said:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“We want to make that immersion even deeper with a fully interactive experience, from the start screen to the end credits. We don't want anything to pull you out of the experience and we don't want any cuts,” Campos Oriola said. [The faster SSDs of new consoles mean] there's not going to be any loading. There's not going to be any moment where we're going to cut your experience, where we're going to cut your camera. You can play it from the start screen to the end credits seamlessly.”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If there is not going to be any moment to take a pause, and breathe, then…. You’d better get ready for the scariest experience of all time in a video game.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you scared/excited too?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s the scariest video game you’ve ever played?

What society tells us what self-care is might be true for the majority of people, but in the end, it is very subjective. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Every person relaxes in their own way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do Geeks relax? For Moni, gaming and streaming is a form of self-care too. Doing something that's enjoyable, not thinking of work and worries. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have a self-care routine?

Dexter Morgan is back!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
No, it’s not a joke! It's happening, and sooner than you think.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The trailer was revealed in Comic-Con Home.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Dexter: New Blood will start running on November 7⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Clyde Phillips who oversaw the series back in the day mentioned during the Comic-con panel that there will be some returning cast members who "will make some people's brains explode."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It has been also confirmed that most of the original cast members will be back =)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don’t be confused! This is not season 9. It’s a new story, picking up many years later.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is really good news!!!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Are you excited about seeing Dexter back in action again?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let us know in the comments.
