PS: My laptop wont read my mic anymore, and after trying everything, all I could get working was my awful Laptop Mic. Which sounded better when recorded through OBS, so I recorded my first video podcast because it would have literally been harder not to. If the audio is really bad, let me know and I'll seek out a better mic. Welcome to 99% Geek presents a weekly geeky blog I am your host, and writer behind 99geek.ca Andrew Geczy. As primarily a fiction writer, releasing chapters of my books once a month on my Patreon like episodes of TV shows when I'm not working nights in a poverty nightmare to make ends meet, I wanted my brand (99% Geek) to offer more content that might keep people coming back. I don't have much to offer, besides my writing, but I'm passionate about pop culture, and try to keep myself as up to date on politics, science, and art as I can. Being a huge TV nerd I run down the best shows of the week, go over all the major news headlines for people who have maybe gotten too tired to follow regular news breaking it down and explaining it for people who might feel unable to follow along, and before anything else I spotlight something cool and geeky for the week. Remember you can follow along by going to patreon.com/99geek This is Geekly Weekly Number #80 for the week of Thursday, January 7th And this week's highlight is Doctor Who ----------------------------------- My name is Andrew Geczy. My brand is 99% Geek found at 99geek.ca I'm a writer, writing monthly chapters of novels like episodes of TV shows, releasing them in 4 weekly parts (a teaser and three acts) on Sundays on my Patreon page at patreon.com/99geek At the end of the month the finished chapter is added to the PDFs attached at the bottom of every post. Finally, the finished books are self-published on Amazon. There's Urban Fantasy tales about a teenage girl turned into a vampire against her will, or a scorned lover investigating paranormal phenomena, or a journalist covering news and politics in the Middle East. There's a sci-fi story about people on a dying world trying to build a ship to a new one. There's a fantasy story about a fallen angel trying to stop the end of the world. And there's more coming. And it's all attached to the bottom of every post on the site in convenient PDF format readable on computers, tablets, ebook readers, and phones. I also have a Geeky Weekly Blog and host video game playthroughs and matchmaking streams on Twitch and eventually post them on my Youtube and Patreon pages. So stay tuned, and maybe subscribe. It's only a dollar and the support you show will go a very long way, I promise. There are also higher tiers. Give 5 dollars one month and you can name a character, or location, or suggest a thing you might want to see. Basically you get to give a noun, and then I promise to incorporate that noun into one of my stories somehow. Maybe not the same month you give the suggestion, but within one cycle of books guaranteed. No matter how crazy, you can't sabotage me. I promise. And you can keep giving nouns, for every month you pay at the 5 dollar tier. Or if you give 10 dollars, you don't get two nouns, but you can give a description. Describe the personality of your character, or the look of your location, or the importance of your item. For 10 dollars you get a noun and a description. You can also give a dollar towards supporting my efforts at Video Game streaming, or my weekly blog. If you don't want to subscribe on Patreon, you can also give at paypal.me/99geek and for a limited time the same rules about suggesting a noun apply there, you can write it below your very contribution. I'm as poor as it gets, living pay check to pay check (and sometimes starving). So I understand if you are too. I don't wanna take food out of your mouths. Your attention is enough.
