ExplicitSeason 4 Episode 24 :: Disgaea Island | Time for another video game episode!! This time we look at the recent releases of Dead Island and Disgaea 4, both incredible games that we had a lot of fun playing (even though we could only make sense out of one of them…) In this episode we have Mike, Brandon, Jonna, and Hex joining forces to talk about these awesome games. We also take some time out to talk about a bunch of cartoons recently that we’ve been meaning to give you our collective 2 cents over but hadn’t found the time. Well, we apparently found the time.

ExplicitSeason 4 Episode 24.5 :: Microsode – Disclexia | Once again, we have another great microsode in store for all of you! This time, Darren Reid has decided to have us all whisk you away to the irreverently magical domain of Discworld! We were excited at the opportunity to pull in Luke, Brian, Triforce Mike, Brandon, Tony, and Hex to talk about our understanding of the goings on of the world that rests upon the Great A’Tuin. We loved talking about it so much, that we actually plum forgot to give a rundown on where you could get started! After the jump, we are lucky enough to have our unusually prompt Luke give you a good primer of the series! Enjoy! Track: The Hedgehog Can Never Be Buggered At All – Warren Mars We had a lot of fun with the Discworld mini-sode, perhaps slightly too much. When Cap-less, we are disordered and anarchic. So for those interested in the series, here’s a breakdown of the various intra-series within the Discworld universe, and good starting points for each. As mentioned in the episode, any book can be read in any order without missing more than inside jokes that have developed within the series, but if you like to read things chronologically or don’t want to spoiler things for yourself, this might be helpful. If you like to look stuff up yourself, think I’m a shoddy writer, or want to kill some time in a wiki-loop, check out http://wiki.lspace.org the very informative and well-constructed Discworld wiki. Rincewind Series Includes the first Discworld book, The Colour of Magic, obviously a good starting point for the entire series, and as good a starter for Rincewind’s books as any. Rincewind is an unapologetic coward and probably the worst wizard in existence, being unable to cast even a single spell (well, there is one spell, but that’s spoilers). He generally starts and ends every book in some kind of trouble unconnected to the meat of the story, and in most cases all you will miss by reading a random one is how exactly he got to the deserted island or some such thing. Colour is followed by The Light Fantastic, and the stories of both have been collected into a made-for-BBC miniseries under the name Colour of Magic, available last time I checked on Netflix. Also featured in most Rincewind books are the wizards of Unseen University, at first a bloodthirsty and power-hungry lot, and later mostly just thirsty and hungry between their third and fourth lunches. The wizards appear in many of the other stories for at least a scene or two, but they are almost guaranteed in a Rincewind story. Cohen the Barbarian, the Disc’s oldest hero, also appears frequently along with his Silver Horde. Themes explored: Fantasy tropes, tourists (in the first two books), academia, later politics and Australia. Good starters: The Colour of Magic, The Last Continent Death/Susan Series One of the most interesting things about Discworld is its inclusion of Death (as in the Grim Reaper, the anthropomorphic personification of the concept of death) as an oft-appearing (in all but one book I believe) and sometimes main character. Rather than the grim specter one might expect, Death has developed a fascination with humans, and in his own strange way a deep sympathy and desire to understand us, in spite of being hindered by a lack of glands. This softer side is somewhat marred by the things one sees in Death’s line of work. Later books star Death’s granddaughter (it’s complicated) Susan, who has inherited some of her grandfather’s traits (Discworld genetics are even more complicated than that). This series begins with Mort, the first Discworld book I read and still one of my favorites, which is about Death taking an apprentice (the titular character) because his duty has wearied him. Themes explored: Death, mythology, popular mythology (such as Christmas in Hogfather), the power of belief, the afterlife. Good starters: Mort, Soul Music (first appearance of Susan), Hogfather (the “Discworld Christmas Special” a[...] | 9/20/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

ExplicitSeason 4 Episode 23 :: Douche Hex: Human Revolution | We approach a cyberpunk as f*ck video game, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and also talk about the science behind it (and weird stuff involving goats) in this video game / sci-tech combo episode. Join Hex, Brandon, Cap, Jon, and Brian as we talk about everything in the game from the transhumanist implications to the crazy racist character that made all of us give a double take. So come join us in this romp into a view of the orange-tinted, small screened future that Deus Ex teases us with! Tracks: Sugar Rush (ft.

Customer Reviews
Nerd Nirvana
This show is by far one of the most entertaining podcasts I've had the pleasure of listening to. I've been looking for a show that incorporates alot of my interests into one podcast and this definately hits the spot. The music does seem to come a little too often but most of the time it's funny/entertaining and relevant to the episode. The one thing I wish they would do is make chapters within the podcast so it'd be easier to skip through the music if you didn't want to hear it.
The DnD episodes are by far some of my favorite, the voices are absolutely hilarious and the banter between players makes the episodes a great listen. I really wish there were more of the DnD episodes inbetween the regular shows.
The show is great for helping to stay up to speed on comics and related news. Again, the banter between the hosts is great and filled with lots of obscure references to nerdy topics ranging from X-Men characters to NES games and anything inbetween. These references will likely fly over the heads of younger/less nerdy individuals but for the rest of us it's truly a pleasure. I really hope the show continues strong. I've only been able to listen to the 2nd and 3rd seasons, however if there is a way to listen to archived 1st season shows I'd love to hear them.
I dig it.
I tried nerdy show for the dnd campaign and stayed for the music. As a gamer I consider this a show worth listening to. Keep it up.
Excellent show with excellent music
The musical interludes add to the experience, not detract from. The music matches the topic at hand with impressive accuracy, and most of the music has now been added to my music collection independently. Besides the music, the wild tangents taken in every episode (i.e. Donkey Box) make for a very organic and unpredictable, yet extremely enjoyable experience.
