Episode 25: One Box to Rule Them All

Published: June 28, 2013, 4 p.m.

b'Hi, we’re Nerds Without Pants, and we would like to bring you this podcast that you can never share with anyone you know, and for the low, low price of 499.99. If you don’t like that, you can listen to the radio. Actually, never mind. Feel free to share this with anyone and everyone. We’re sorry. (In case you didn’t figure it out, this week is all about the Xbox One.)\\nWe kick things off with the most random edition of Consumption Junction ever. Angelo joins us this week, and we have some Statham Sightings ™, discuss the size of Liam Neeson’s package, Wikipedia insecurities, The Last of Us, Project x Zone, anime love pillows, and more. Patrick has an Animal Crossing addiction, and Julian makes awkward segways.\\nThen, it’s all Xbox, all the time, and you don’t even have to check in every 24 hours to enjoy this podcast! We go in chronological order: from the initial reveal to all of the gaffes surrounding E3 and the flip flop heard ‘round the world. The Nerds take Microsoft’s PR campaign to task, hitting home the point that, while the Xbox One could have had some interesting and futuristic benefits to players, nothing was done to educate people on that potential. Don’t count the XBO out just yet, though. With the recent backing off of their DRM policy the winds could shift in their favor. Of course, there’s still that 499 price point to deal with…\\nFEATURED MUSIC:\\nTheme From The A-Team\\nTheme From Night Court\\nTheme From Buffy the Vampire Slayer'
