More MCM interview goodness - this time the Overwatch voice actors took to the press room. Actor and stand-up comedian Lucie Pohl (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Red Dwarf) plays Overwatch’s resident guardian angel Mercy. A peerless healer, Swiss scientist Mercy – real name Angela Ziegler – is a staunch advocate for peace. However, when the going gets tough and innocents are imperilled, the angelic doctor can be counted on to don her Valkyrie swift-response suit and jump into the action. Tokyo-born Gaku Space (Westworld, Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist) stalks Blizzard’s battlefields as shuriken-shooting cyborg Genji Shimada. The younger sibling of Overwatch hero Hanzo, Genji grew up the spoiled son of the Shimada ninja clan and was almost killed by his brother when he refused to abandon his playboy ways. Transformed into a cyborg by the Overwatch organisation, Genji is now a living weapon possessing superlative mobility and combat skills. Gavanski’s character Zarya – aka Aleksandra Zaryanova – is one of the world’s strongest women, a celebrated athlete who sacrificed personal glory to protect her family, friends and country in a time of war. Deploying powerful barriers that convert incoming damage into energy for her particle cannon, the stalwart Siberian soldier is an invaluable asset on the front lines of any battle.Want more conventions?

On with the MCM Sessions! And this time it's the guys from Grand Theft Auto V. Ned Luke, Shawn Fonteno and Steven Ogg voice the three playable protagonists of Rockstar’s acclaimed gangster drama, which is set in the fictionalised LA of Los Santos. Ned Luke (Boardwalk Empire, Law & Order: SVU) plays middle-aged ex-robber Michael Townley, who is living under witness protection in Los Santos as ‘Michael De Santa’ following a botched bank job. Depressed by his staid new life and dysfunctional family, Michael returns to his bad old ways, kicking off a crime spree of epic proportions. Los Angeles-born actor and rapper Shawn ‘Solo’ Fonteno plays Franklin Clinton, a former gang member who attempts to ditch his past by working as a repo man for a shady car dealership. However, a run-in with Michael draws Franklin back into the criminal lifestyle, with the pair forging a father/son style bond as they carry out heist after heist together. Steven Ogg, whose recent small screen credits include Westworld, The Walking Dead and Better Call Saul, plays pilot-turned-criminal Trevor Philips, who used to be Michael’s best buddy back in their bank-robbing days. Unstable, violent and high on his own supply, Trevor runs a drug-trafficking and gun-running operation out of his trailer park home.   Check out the blog for all our MCM coverage - https://www.coachingforgeeks.com/blog And join the FB gang if you want to cover cons with a press pass - https://www.facebook.com/groups/coachingforgeeks

Coach Austin has a new toy. He's quite excited. So what is it? How does it work? Can it measure body fat? What benefit does it offer over tradition measuring? Can you have a little 3d figure made out of it for dungeons and dragons? (this last question may or may not be answered). In looking for a way to save time for his team - traditional measurements with callipers and tape measures take up a lot of time as his client base grows  - Coach Austin investigated and researched various methods including bio impedance and shapescale before settling on Fit 3D. He talks about how having a shiny new piece of kit has brought new clients in and how the technology actually works and how it's different to bio impedance. Listen in and get 3D up in all those crevices, and Tony Stark up your body assessment.   JOIN COACHING FOR GEEKS Fitness. Con Survival. Dating. Careers. Gaming.

When he grew up in the 90s, Rami learned to play a bunch of old games that were hard as nails. His NES was filled with challenges that gave him the skills he needed to succeed in the dating world. If you're a gamer, you have those skills too! In this episode, Rami talks about his crazy gaming childhood, and how he used those same gaming skills to win at the hardest game of them all - THE DATING GAME.   Protip: Battletoads is HARD AS NAILS.   Join the 1000-strong CfG gang - www.facebook.com/groups/coachingforgeeks Check out Rami's course: Level Up Your Dating - https://go.gutsygeek.com/level-up-cfg See what else is going down on the CfG blog - https://www.coachingforgeeks.com/blog   Alwasy be awesome, and we'll see you next week.

Arcade machines. Once upon a time you'd find them in chip shops, shopping centres, and arcades full of flashing lights, bleeping sountracks, and smoking youths shovelling 10 pence piece after 10 pence piece into the coin slot.Here in the UK the arcades have mostly gone and those that struggle on are filled with fruit machines and rigged games of 'skill', to win tokens for something you could buy from Argos for a tenner. But still their legacy lives on in console and PC games, to the immersive adventures in VR, and at site specific installations. The 80s never truly went away and Mark Ashmore of Future Artists has brought them back to the heart of London with the History of Video Games exhibition on Carnaby Street. Robin met with Mark to find out what inspired him to curate a collection of arcade cabinets and consoles, where he sourced them, how he becasme such a demon at Track and Field, what else Future Artistss is up to, and to mangle some Star Wars quotes.Quarters at the ready American chums, it's time to go down the arcade.   CfG Join Coaching for Geeks on Facebook for daily geek goodness - www.cfgshortcut.com Download our free 7 Step Cheatbook to Winning at Geek Life - https://www.coachingforgeeks.com/7-step-geek-guide/   History of Video Games and Future Artists Get tickets to the exhibition today! - https://www.fatsoma.com/future-artists-london Find out more about Future Artists - http://futureartists.co.uk/ Watch 'Portal' - http://www.dailymotion.com/futureartists   And don't forget to be awesome!We'll see you next week.
