We'll never top this!
THE TIME HAS COME AT LAST! Chex Quest. Chrono Cross. A 16-foot-tall steel cage. Who will emerge as the first ever Nerds Without Pants Video Game Cage Match champion? The listeners decided. Now you need to listen to find out. We’re joined by Mike Fallek and John Gholson in their first ever meeting on NWP to help with the proceedings!
Final Fantasy gets a job.
When Final Fantasy VII appeared in the late 90s, my initial reaction was that of shock at the significant gulf in sequels for the US. It was a harsh reality to learn that, of the three mainline Final Fantasy releases we received, Japan had double that number by the start of the PlayStation era. As time marched on, Square (now Square Enix) eventually released the sequels we had missed. Meanwhile, I’ve been playing a nearly 30-year-long game of catch-up since 1997. A particular blind spot for me was Final Fantasy III- the last one to be developed for the Famicom. However, after finally getting around to playing it, I now have a new appreciation for this long-running series.
I, uh, got nothin'.
Welcome back to a really fun episode of Nerds Without Pants! We have lots of games to talk about, terrible jokes, smooth segue ways, and find out the games that will square off in our first Video Game Cage Match championship match next episode!
No, no, no.
Welcome back to Nerds Without Pants! We’re coming in a bit late this, time, because Julian got real dang sick after we recorded. Thankfully you won’t notice that in the episode, and it’s a pretty good one, even if we didn’t have much new to say this week.
Oh, Kenneth.
Welcome back to Nerds Without Pants! We don’t have anything new to talk about when it comes to what we’ve played, but Justin rises to the challenge by debuting not one, but two new segments. We also begin the semi-finals of the Video Game Cage Match championship tournament. Spread it on!
Pro tip: never let Justin DJ your wedding.
Well howdy, partner! Nerds Without Pants is back, and Mike Fallek as back. So you know what that means: a massively meandering show that loses control almost immediately. Enjoy! Also, why did I start this by typing “howdy, partner”?
Get in the banana boat!
Welcome back to Nerds Without Pants! This week, we hop onto our Email Banana Boat and read your emails! We also talk a lot about games! It’s…you know…a podcast.
You'll never guess how Justin spent 100 hours...
Welcome back to Nerds Without Pants! Hiatus is behind us, and we’ve revealed our favorite games of last year. Now, it’s time to catch up and see just what we got up to during the break. This episode covers a lot, while baring it all!
It's GOTY time!
It’s the first episode of Nerds Without Pants recorded in the new year, and that only means one thing: Game of the Year, baby! We shake things up just a bit this year, listing our top ten games that we played in 2021, as opposed to the usual top five. There are some big surprises in there, for sure!
We did it! We listed every PS2 game!
No, I didn’t forget that we have this last part of the Nerds Without Pants PS2 list special to release! I’m just…really lazy, y’all. But here it is! Not sure if we’ll ever do another one of these, but there’s something kinda fun about just going through an entire console library, so never say never.
