Is this Yaoi? This looks like Yaoi...
Welcome to a special Nerds Without Pants…thing? Ok, I’ll be honest. This is being written by Julian, but I have no earthly idea what you’re in store for here. Justin played another bad game, I think? And he narrated it? This is the first episode of NWP that I’m not involved with, and it feels…really wrong, actually.
These games aren't very good, but we love 'em!
It’s the last standard episode of Nerds Without Pants for 2019, and boy do we have a hum dinger for you? Wait, “hum dinger”? Why am I typing like a kid growing up in 1947? Gee, willikers, this show sure is swell! Golly, it’s just the bee’s knees! Yeah, ok boomer.
To quote Bill: This is me at my most masochistic.
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?

Welcome to a very special edition of Nerds Without Pants! Not only is it our annual Halloween Havoc episode, but we are joined by NWP co-founder and former co-host Rob Ottone, on his first full show since 2013! Aaaaah, I’m so excited, just press play!
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.
Just some nerds on a quest to find their waifus.
Welcome back to Nerds Without Pants! I’m gonna level with you, I don’t even know what the actual heck happened in this episode. Blame Justin and his dating sim shenanigans, I guess. Anyway, Friend of the Show John Gholson™ joins us for a really fun episode, so let’s jump in!
The enemy of my enemy is probably also my enemy because I have trust issues.
Welcome to a combative episode of Nerds Without Pants! This time, we are joined by Gabe, the host of the Arcade Memories podcast, and co-host of the Inter Party Conflict podcast. We get all warm and fuzzy about memories of our greatest video game foes…and then we annihilate them! Also, Clayfighter 63 1/3 takes on Killer Instinct Gold in the steel cage, so, you know, that should be an interesting match…
Dungeon-crawling through Hawkins.
Like so many other children of the ‘80s, I love Stranger Things. Booting it up is like taking a time machine back to my childhood. The pervasive synth music, the wardrobes and the cultural references instantly transport me, making it easier to get sucked into the day-to-day of Hawkins and the ever-creepy world of the Upside-Down. And just like a true ‘80s property, there’s also a tie-in video game to go along with the latest season of the show. Thankfully this tie-in isn’t quite as low budget as as the Atari 2600 and NES tie-ins of yesteryear, but the dungeon crawling brawler pales in comparison to the electrifying viewing experience offered by the show, especially this latest season.
It's NWP AMA Round 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!

Welcome to a shadow drop! Yes, friends, this is a special edition of Nerds Without Pants hitting a few days before episode 154 releases. Because we love you. And Julian is an editing masochist. Anyway, enjoy this meandering talk between Julian and Justin before the show as they wait for Patrick to show up.
