| Episode 059: A Psyker and an Ogryn | 10 Nov 2023 | 01:45:29 | |
What is up folks! Caleb and Ryan got together and made a real long one for ya! Ben is out this episode, scheduling and such, but come hang with us as we walk through all the things we have been playing in the last month. We go in order from least time to most, starting with the new Forza Motorsport and our limited time with it so far. We follow that by talking about Party Animals, a game that feels like Gang Beasts and Fall Guys had a goofy-ass baby. It's a silly blast. No complaints at all. We gush about The Finals, the new extraction-arena shooter from ex-battlefield devs Embark Studios. Then, finally, we deep dive on our time with Warhammer 40k: Darktide, a spiritual sequel to Warhammer: Vermintide. This time you have lasguns and chainswords, but the killing is just as good.

| Episode 058: Starfield Deep Dive | 04 Oct 2023 | 01:37:51 | |
Hey Folks! We're back after a long assignment playing hours and hours of Starfield. With more than 300 hours between the three of us, come have a seat and hear our thoughts on one of this year's (honestly this generation's) biggest games. Mild caution ahead of listening, it is a little spoilery about broader events, nothing very specific though. If you haven't played a dozen or so hours we may spoil some stuff form one of the first missions. But outside of that we do our best to stay spoiler free. Also, in the beginning of the episode, we reminisce a bit about early days marvel movies and how their cast would hold up in an Avengers movie of their own. Come hang!

Yup. We know. We're playing it too. Come hang with the NerdyBits crew as they dig into allllllll sorts of stuff. From cars and spirits (the boozy kind), to Starfield. And then we just kinda stay on Starfield, but also make a short diversion to throw some shade at the 4k/60fps dorks on the internet bitching about ultra high fidelity gaming. It's a bit of a hot take, but it's OUR hot take! Get full access to NerdyBits at www.nerdybits.com/subscribe | |||

Come hang as we dig into some Gamescom stuff, slip back into lamenting the absence of our "career game", and we talk a bit about Diablo 4 and Caleb's falling off of it.

Happy Friday folks! So we dropped the ball a bit on finalizing our Game of the Year lists. It's tricky organizing the time to make sure you play as much as possible and put together a cohesive plan.

Happy Friday! Come hang out with the team as they discuss why this year feels a little light. Could this fall be the result of the lockdowns in 2020? The last few years have been marred by fractured releases and inconsistent support as teams restructure. But it feels like nothing got started in 2020, perhaps even things in early dev stages got delayed. We also chat for a bit about how there aren’t more Star Wars or Marvel games. Like…why?

Happy Monday folks! This episode got lost in a poor scheduling incident. You see, Caleb thought he posted it, but it never went up. Also the written info on the episode didn’t save. So were in the weird space where the eppy is late, and Caleb doesn’t remember what the crew talked about fully. We definitely talk about getting back into The Hunt, a deviously fun battle royale/monster hunting game. We also crack into some Guardians of the Galaxy, continue to talk about Battlefield, both V and 2042, some Doctor Strange talk, and some other things!

| Episode 33: Space Engineers in Spaaace! | 25 Feb 2022 | 00:58:36 | |
Happy Friday folks! Everyone tries to find a game that speaks to them. For those of us that play close to 30 hours a week, sometimes that search can be tiresome. Whether it is a difficulty in finding something that everyone likes, finding something everyone can play, finding something everyone can afford, or any other number of limiting factors, the TNBS crew took it upon themselves to find something that they could really sink their teeth into. Enter Space Engineers. A nearly 9 year old game, and an engineering-heavy take on the Minecraft formula, the crew has been absolutely obsessed with Space Engineers. Since this recording alone they have already established a permanent server and begun thinking of expanding building operations into space! Suffice it to say, they may have found something special!
