To all members of the "Yar's Revenge" Reboot Development Team: The opinions of the Geek Shock Team do not reflect those of it's parent company UCS Inc. But, let's face it, your game sucked. It was rancid toe-shoes. Ewe Boll hated it. Satan gives it two thumbs up. But don't take my word for it. Take Paul's and Barry's words for it. Many, many words. Plus we run down the geek events of the week both great and small and we STILL fit in time for a Big List - Shatner style! Rest in Peace, Sarah Jane...

Ladies and gentlemen of the court. Here for your entertainment from the lands of Wakaka, His Highness is proud to present the comedy stylings and the feast of the Red Dwarf!

And of course the main attraction: The incredible Red Dwarf. Tickle with a feather and a treat comes dancing out!
