We bring in the Noize!
Welcome, welcome, welcome, to the annual Nerds Without Pants music special! We’re coming back from hiatus very soon, but before that we have an AMAZING guest to talk about some of our favorite video game music with: none other than Megan McDuffee, the composer and singer of the River City Girls soundtrack!
Locke, you absolute badass.
Welcome to an episode of Nerds Without Pants so exciting, so exhilarating, that you’ll…well, you sure will think it’s pretty good, we think. Probably. Ok, I’m not doing a good job of selling you on this episode, I know, but trust me, you’ll like it.
We're going streaking!
It’s 2013 and somehow we survived the apocalypse! Time to ring in the new year in style, with a new episode of Nerds Without Pants. This week we’re a nerd down, as Patrick is convalescing after minor surgery. Filling in is the one and only Ty “Fighter”, who long time listeners will know as Rob’s oft-mentioned buddy. Since every podcast is doing their game of the year lists we decided to buck that trend and instead take a look back at the year that was.
New Challenger Approaching
Skullgirls is an upcoming 2D sprite-based fighter that is the first project for developers Reverge Labs, who are comprised of industry veterans. According to Reverage Labs, Skullgirls was created to “bring back the sheer inventive fun of classic combo-crazy 2D fighters without the abusable gameplay issues that they are also remembered for.”
A look into the story that drives players through Skullgirls.
Painwheel, one of many characters of the game Skullgirls, is introduced.
No lions, tigers, or bears here, but we're definitely not in Kansas anymore.
Imagine a world where schools are secretly facilities to train kids to become fighter pilots. There is an underground spy at the school masquerading as a science professor. The fate of the world is at hand! Does any of this matter? Oh no it doesn't. Skimpy clothes on teenage anime girls, bullets, bullets, and more bullets, along with several boss fights define Otomedius Excellent.
What's pink, has a bow, and blows? Ms. 'Splosion Man!
A follow-up to the 2009 'Splosion Man, Ms. 'Splosion Man is a simple 2D platformer with high speed and puzzle elements. The titular missus can explode up to three times before landing on the ground, resting against a wall, or detonating with a bomb to recharge, propelling herself through the game's frantic point-A-to-point-B-style levels. Like its predecessor, the game is full of jokes and quirkiness. Is Ms. 'Splosion Man the bomb or just a dud?
