Welcome to a very special Nerds Without Pants! After two years of Julian CONSTANTLY singing the praises of the No One Can Know About This podcast we are joined by the hosts of that very show: Jeff and Ryan! It’s a short but sweet visit with these awesome dudes, and then Julian and Justin talk about a bunch of fun stuff after the break. Enjoy!
I’m really excited about the upcoming release of New Pokémon Snap. The original was a special game to me, and I’ll explain why in this blog. The mainline Pokémon games are great, but I haven’t played any of the more recent ones because I feel they are all pretty much the same game. Now, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Why fix what isn’t broken? And with every new generation of Pokémon game comes a new generation of kids to enjoy them, and while they may be the same game to me, it’s new to them. While I haven’t played a new mainline Pokémon game since Black & White, I still like the Pokémon settings and characters and do enjoy a lot of the spin-off games. So in this blog we’re going to take a look at some of my favorite Pokémon spin-off games in honor of the upcoming release of New Pokémon Snap!
I've finally finished this. It's been since November when it came out. It's a whole lot of explosive action, military lingo, and loads of previous Halo novel references. I only wish it didn't leave me with so many questions at the end. You can leave me hanging on some things, but the major story points have to be answered at the end or I wonder where volume 2 is and that's how I felt at the end. Here follows a little more detail.
So I had a Quick Hits blog written last week, but I scrapped it (no idea why), and then on Monday I had a regular blog about what I played but again scrapped it (again no idea why), but now I am convinced that I need to at least write this one and make sure it is posted before Turkey Day (my Canadian Friends celebrate with us with some Turkey) just in case I don’t update you good people with my gaming plans for Thanksgiving. Let’s get started.
I’ve been up since 5:45am after going to sleep around midnight so I’m ready for my power nap all so I can watch guys on bicycles in France. This will only go on until Sunday when the Tour de France ends which is sad but I am grateful to have it because for the most part it felt normal. Random crazy folks on the sides of the road, dressed up, and having a good time felt like pre 2020. I had breakfast, and finished off my Breakfast Pepsi but I could really go for an iced coffee (not the Starbucks coffee milkshakes, but actual coffee with ice) Until I decide to put on shoes and jump in the truck I will sit here, type and see if I can remember all the Quick Hits stuff I did.
It’s now September, and you know what happens this month? It’s my birthday on September 15! So let’s have a pretend birthday party right here on my blog! In the comments section, leave me a pretend birthday present. It can be anything you want. It’s the thought that counts…literally! I’d love it if you did that as I could use a bit of cheering up this year (I think we all could). And here’s some presents for you! Reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com! Please click on the links and read as many as you can and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s begin!
One final part of my blog series on the TG-16 Mini! Last time we looked at some of the games on the Japanese PC Engine side, and now we’ll look at the rest of them. The games in this batch I’m more familiar with, because they were released in the US in some form or fashion either on this console, other consoles, or in the arcade. And they’re also made by well-known companies like Namco, Capcom, SEGA, Taito, and Konami. OK let’s finish this off!
Got some more game reviews dancing your way that I recently wrote at GamerDad.com! Please click on and read as many of the links as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. And as Shantae would say, “Ret-2 Go!”
A lot of jumping around from game to game, as usual.
Good morning Pixlpeeps! So last night I finished Tiger King because it was the show everyone was watching and I finished it in I think three days. I stopped here and there because it was just a hot mess of crazy. Since I finished I would like to share some thoughts, so if you haven’t seen it yet, and don’t want to be spoiled or if you don’t care just skip today, it’s not a problem and I’ll see you tomorrow. For everyone else let’s get started.
I have a few questions for you. Do you consider yourself to be masochistic in your choice of games to play? Are you driven by a need to show your superiority over other players and scoff at them for not “getting good”? Has your quest for harder and harder games desensitized you to the point that it’s impossible for you to enjoy anything that isn’t actively trying to frustrate you? Well, you’re in luck, because have I got the game for you! Enter: Valfaris, a game so focused on punishing players that it forgets to be fun. Which, if you answered yes to the above questions should get you absolutely psyched, right?
*So apparently I did not hit Live so my post yesterday didn’t get posted. My bad. Anyways I’m eating breakfast and I might as well give this another go.
Hey folks, guess what? At the end of this week, I’ll be heading off to Seattle for PAX West! I skipped last year because I went to E3 instead, but since I didn’t go to E3 this year, I’m back at PAX! So please pray that I have a safe trip there and back, and a good and fruitful time at the show. Anyway, to tide you over until I get back, here are some more game reviews I’ve written recently over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d appreciate it. OK let’s go!
Break out the tin-foil hats and buckle up, kids, because Nerds Without Pants is taking you on the conspiracy theory train! That’s right, we delve into all manner of rumors, speculations, and outright lies regarding video games. We hope you’ll join us for this jam-packed Stage Select topic, and then stick around to see who comes out on top in the steel cage when Half-Life 2 goes toe to toe with Halo 2!
Welcome to one of the beefiest episodes of Nerds Without Pants this year, and there were only two of us on this episode! Must be all the E3 hype. Or maybe it was your AWESOME questions for our second AMA edition of Stage Select. It might have even been a hellacious Video Game Cage Match! Regardless of the reasoning, please enjoy this super-sized edition of NWP!
