Episode 15 :: Retro Game Retro-Spection

December 2nd, 2009

Retro Gaming Retro-Spection

In this expansion of the Nerdy Show Universe, we take a closer look at ignored, forgotten, and relatively overlooked games that are true gems. We’re also announcing our NEW COMPETITION!!

Craft hip hop beats from the score to Tetris Attack and the 1st place winner will have none-other than ASTRONAUTALIS lay his rhymes on it.  Check out all detais here:

Nerdy Show’s Rare Game Remix Challenge #1 Tetris Rap Attack

We also have chosen our first ever Fan Title Dungeons & Doritos Episode!! We’ll be recording it soon and posting it later this month!! Enjoy!

Also, we’ve had some complaints about the levels, how sometimes we’re really quiet and then randomly loud. Well, as last episode shows, we like to occasionally impersonate Sand People. We’re a rowdy bunch. Sadly, you’ll have to put up with our ridiculousness. :P

Episode 14 :: Leftovers 4 Dad

November 30th, 2009

leftovers-4-dad-3002EDIT: Sorry about the VERY late posting of this. There were some INSANE technical issues involving reconstructing the episode. It would have been a LOT less effort to re-record it… but what we had was gold, so it was worth it. I’ve left the description intact as it was intended… so it may read weird. :P ENJOY!!

It’s almost Thanksgiving… and you know what that means… ZOMBIES!! Okay, we don’t talk about zombies A LOT, but it’s still a VERY nerderific show where we talk a lot about zombie video games, Brian’s neuroses, fixin’ racism, and the Nerdapalooza Live CD release. Listen in and prove us wrong!
