Nerdsense Plays!

I’m sure most of our listeners wonder “Where is all the videogame talk? They claim to be nerds so they surely must game!?!?”
Well we do, well, Jason and I do. Mikey enjoys them from time to time so videogame segments would really just be Jason and I discussing while Mike plays with himself. So, Jason and I decided to launch Nerdsense Plays!
Right now, we’re still working out the format but we’re thinking a 30 minute audio podcast in addition to some video of us playing games, hence, Nerdsense Plays!
We expect to have a pilot episode in the next couple of weeks. Our first game will be Broforcefrom the developers at Free Lives. I would also expect some GTA V Heist action via Twitch to be in our immediate future as well.
Cheers!

As usual we veer off in multiple nerdy and pretty serious directions!

Episode 22 – Yay, we have a jingle! (Thank You Sean)

We finally have a jingle! Thanks to our buddy Sean for writing us a little intro. Hope you all like it!

Apologies for not having a new episode the last couple of weeks. Blame snow and ice dams.

We discuss Spiderman in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Agent Carter, Arrow and the first official picture of Jason Momoa as Aquaman!!

Episode 21 – I’m not racist but…

In this weeks episode Mike and I brew another Nerdsense beer. It’s an Oak Aged Porter. Hopefully it comes out a little better and fuller bodied than the last couple.

As for discussion topics, we dive into a maybe touchy subject but you’ll understand once you listen…

Some other not so touchy topics include the Superboy TV Series, comics to the screen adapations and what was done wrong and what was done right.

Episode 19 – Are your ears Thor?

In our first episode of 2015 we are joined by regular guest extraordinaire, Jason as well his good friend, Scott. Scott is apparently an actual fan of the show. Let that one sink in…we have a real listener and reader of this thing. Not sure who I’m typing to here so….Hi Mike, Jason and Scott!

Anyways…we discuss the new Avengers trailer, Spiderman in the MCU rumors, Ant Man and Agent Carter. As always, we deviate from the set topics and dive into the great blue deep of Nerdsense!

Episode 17 – Is it in Yet?

This weeks episode is a little late due to busy schedules and plain ole forgetfulness.

We also discuss Tusk and the casting of the Suicide Squad.

Episode 16 – Nerdbrew

This weeks episode is a little hectic. Mike and I brew a 1 gallon batch of Bavarian Hefeweizen during the show so there are a few breaks we edited the best we could. We also delve into rather lengthy music discussion which should make the music nerds happy.

Beer

Night Shift Young Guns – This was part of a “showdown” to find the next recipe for Night Shift’s Morph IPA series. It was actually one of the losers but still pretty damn good. More info on the competition can be found here.

Stone Lucky Bastard Criminal – A version of their Lucky Bastard, which is exceptional, but they then tossed in a  tremendous amount of hot peppers then aged it in bourbon barrels. The peppers are just to over powering and just destroy your mouth. The real crime is they ruined bottles of Lucky Bastard for this.
