Exactly one year ago today (well, the day we recorded this) the first episode of Geek Bits was recorded. Some would say that history was made that day, and those people would be correct. We spend a little time talking about our favorite moments from the past year and then we get down to business by talking about the first day’s worth of news from the San Diego Comic-Con (our full coverage will be next week) and then we talk about behind-the-scenes video from the upcoming Walking Dead television series and the Starcraft II Ghost of the Past trailer. Opey then asks our opinions of 3D TV and Matt continues discussion of franchise adaptations by asking what franchise would make a good TV show. Here’s to another great year of Geek Bits!
