We're all here to have fun, right? ...RIGHT?!
Hi there. We're all nerds and geeks here, right? We're passionate about our hobbies, but why does that passion so often turn to rage and complaining? Can't we all just have fun and enjoy each other's thoughts and company? Well, this week on Nerds Without Pants we're joined by a couple excellent guests to talk about just that. Enjoy the beautiful voices and even-handed opinions of Erika Szabo and John Gholson!
No longer enslaved to Enslaved!
Final thoughts: Pigsy is a pig, Monkey is kinda like a monkey, and Trip is... kinda hot. What, you want to know more? Well listen to the 'cast!
I'm tripping out of my skull!
I’ve often said that simplicity is underrated, especially when it comes to video games. Growing up there wasn’t much you had to learn to play a video game. With only two buttons and a d-pad, there were only so many control schemes you could cram into an NES game. Some may think that’s limiting, but I think it’s more inviting. Anyone can pick up an NES game and be able to figure out the basic controls right away. Mastering these controls, well, that’s a different thing all together.

A GameStop employee suggests the video game accessory manufacturer provided the information during GameStop's Fall retail conference.
Rumors of a November 18th Wii U launch date swirled today, when a NeoGAF forum thread was posted revealing a potential leak by Performance Designed Products (PDP). Apparently, at GameStop's annual Fall conference, the accessory-maker revealed it was launching various Wii U accessories on Sunday, November 18th, which lines up with Nintendo's previous holiday hardware release timelines. Similarly, another source has informed Kotaku of a PDP representative suggesting their "peripherals would be available just ahead of the Wii U's November 18 release date."
I don't know art, but I know what I like, and this ain't it.
A few weeks ago, I was watching Adult Swim pretty late at night when I came across a psychedelic piece of animation. What I saw felt like some sort of fever dream. I assumed that the swirling colors and morphing images were part of the station identification bumps, but it just kept going and I was transfixed, unable to change the channel. I eventually realized that this was an actual animated short and when it was over I blinked a couple times and decided that I didn’t get what I had just seen, though I could understand why it might rock the socks off of someone else. This is exactly how I feel about Dyad, a game that I can appreciate as something unique and artistic, and yet something that is simply not my cup of tea.
