Episode 116: Varsity Blues

Published: July 12, 2017, 4:07 p.m.

And we’re back! The E3 schedule has really thrown off the Nerds Without Pants, and this isn’t a normal show format. No, this is an all Consumption Junction edition of the podcast. We’re a man (bot?) down, since Angelo isn’t here, so Julian and Patrick get together to talk about…a lot of old games, actually.\nNo, really. We’re talking about games that we’ve been talking about for years. Rocksmith. Final Fantasy XIV. Hearthstone. Oh, Julian did play the latest Fire Emblem game, so there’s that. But then we talk about Diablo III, so IDK. We end things with some talk on the futility of learning how to play fighting games, and Patrick’s workout corner.\nNext time, we return to our classic show format!
