Welcome to an episode of Nerds Without Pants that comes in at an actual respectable hour count! It’s a lean and mean episode as Julian and Justin use science to determine the most generic video game characters, while Breath of the Wild takes on The Witcher 3 in an epic Video Game Cage Match!
Let’s spring into Spring with more game reviews that I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even please post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
Having an emulator has its perks. Some of the great games you can sometimes play are those that never get released over on North American shores. One such game I managed to finally get to play is of such distinction. Not only is it a hidden gem, but it was also released on a handheld console never released in America. Today I'm talking about Kaze no Klonoa: Moonlight Museum (AKA- Klonoa of the Wind: Moonlight Museum) for the Wonderswan!
Ya ever think you would see those 2 games in title together? I sure as hell wouldnt. However I did beat 2 games this month and sense I havent been in great health mental wise I decided to take some great advice from one of out lovely bloggers here*Thanks Knight!* and make it easier for myself. Im just gonna give each one a paragraph and call it done. Hopefully November is a better month. I only got 2 more games to beat guys, Im at 10.
Egad, hope you’re ready for this hellacious edition of Nerds Without Pants: Halloween Havoc style! We are joined by Blake to talk about characters that spook us, movies that chill us, and podcast lengths that make us quake with fear. If you all get to the end of this, well…you’ll see.
I like that they are taking the time to listen and respond to the players.
At the tip top of Amazon’s page reads a banner: “New and interesting finds.” Never knew that was there. Did you? Apparently it's a feature they introduced a few months ago. I clicked around, surprised at the many artistic, unique products. I was amused, bewildered. By the end, I laughed, I cried, I lol’d.
Wow what a weekend...what an incredible game yesterday. I thought the Patriots were done....buried. Down 28 to 3 in the 3rd to come back and win 34 to 28...astounding. Whether you hate em or love em...there's no denying that 4th quarter was incredible. But I could go on and on... I have games to show!
Hey it's time for round 2! Let's get started with my next batch of games!
A new year brings promise of new video games, so I thought I’d write about which ones I’m looking forward to this year. Of course there will probably be some announcements of new games throughout the year (like at E3), as it’s a bit early. And of course some things may be delayed, too. But anyway, let’s take a look at what I’m looking forward to playing and reviewing this year.
So it's a pretty safe assumption that you've heard about the Nintendo Switch by now. Nintendo is finally combining their handheld and console hardware into one risky gamble for their next platform. With this comes discussions on how it will compete with the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and mobile platforms to carve its own niche, but did you know there is also another dedicated handheld releasing in Spring 2017? Yes, even though Sony may or may not release another handheld, there is a new contender to take their place with the Smach Z, a handheld dedicated to playing Steam games, as well as other PC titles with some troubleshooting. So why not see what new ventures gaming on-the-go will bring us this next year?
This week for a bargain bin game is a little something different. To talk about this game is to talk extensively about it's deeply engaging gameplay...not in a traditional sense. No this is more about the dream of creating a game. Giving you the tools to create a Shoot em up style game is probably a dream most of us have wanted to do. Well with this weeks game you certainly could do so. This week I present to you- Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy. A game I bought for $4.00
Welcome to a very different edition of Nerds Without Pants! This time we are joined by Lance from Tasty Minstrel Games. You may know him as Undead Viking on YouTube, and he's here to educate us on some board games. Before that though, we talk some video games!
Capcom's efforts in 3D arcade gaming towards the end of the 90's were interesting but often looked over history. When Capcom started making 3D fighters on there own, Street Fighter EX doesn't count, things were rocky. However by the end of the 90's, Capcom started getting their stride down and expirementing. One of there more interesting experiments with 3D fighting that yielded a result was Power Stone, which turns 16 today in Japan. Power Stone best represents Capcom's experiments 3D and going beyond a game that just felt like another spin on Street Fighter.
