Too good for this world.We nabbed ace game designer Brandon Bozzi for a great, funny interview about the design process and the economy of free-to-play games. We’re sad to report that Smash Squad, the game he was working on and discussing, has
What happens when people stop being nostalgic and start getting real.We’re all over Stranger Things, Netflix’s homage to all of the 1980s. They may have poached Mary’s memoir title, but we can’t hold that against them because the show is just
Pokemon Go Home! (Photo credit: José María Mateos)Pokemon WHAAAA? Mary tells us all we need to know about this quick-burning craze that is swallowing people’s data plans whole even as it enforces unprecedented exercise goals on unsuspecting ne

No orcs allowed in the Uncanny ValleyShould you see that World of Warcraft movie? Listen and find out. Since Paul and Rob are so woefully ignorant when it comes to all things WoW, we invited two smarties from Mary’s guild, Kraken Skulls, to he
We’re glitching out a little, so we decided to repost last fall’s look ahead at nerdy TV. Heroes Reborn dashed our hopes, and Rob’s inability to recall Harvey Bullock’s name is especially galling, given how interesting that character turned out
Building advanced robots, but still wearing the Vault Suit.The first round of DLC is out for Fallout 4, and we’re as happy as ever to gab about our favorite game (well, our collective favorite, anyway). Players have tons of new settlement opti
Preaching to the choir?With Mary on assignment, Paul and Rob discussed Preacher–both the new AMC TV series starring Dominic Cooper and the old-ish Vertigo comics series by Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon. While the title has some legendary proble

Another clear example of media bias against your favored candidate.As Captain America: Civil War draws near, Rob gives a quick 101 on the huuuuge comics event that spawned its primary conflict, if not exactly its plot. Whether you’re leaning t
The tapes are black, the clash is royale.It turns out that there are other non-Nerdhole podcasts out there, and some of them may be relevant to your interests. Mary tells us all about Black Tapes, which entertainingly reanimates the corpse of
Surrounded! Hopeless! How did this happen?Zombicide is the shambling, reanimated elephant in the room; it raised 11 zillion dollars on Kickstarter but, as far as Rob and Paul are concerned, it’s only okay. We discuss our feelings and what this
The truth is I want to believe out there.We turn our steely gaze to The X-Files now that its new season has crept to a weird, abrupt halt. As ever, Rob and Paul couldn’t quite make it all the way through six hours of viewing in time to record
Boring shit, awesome shit, shitty shitWe originally called this episode “Dogshit Express,” but we decided to sacrifice punch for clarity. If you know us at all, you know that we have complicated feelings about quality when it comes to our genr
Welcome back, Carter.Agent Carter is back! We gab about her new LA adventures–what we love, what we almost love, and what we love a lot. While we loosely discuss the plot, this episode is spoiler-free. LINKSAgent Carter on HuluSeason 1 on
Make Star Love AND Star Wars! (On the set of The Force Awakens)The Force awakened recently, and no doubt most of you have already seen the new, largely Lucas-free flick. Paul and Mary have plenty to say, while Rob listens attentively and occas
Legends of Soma Rush!It’s another delicious Nerdhole Sandwich! Mary delves deep into the underwater horror game Soma, Rob explains his tentative endorsement of Legends of Tomorrow, and Paul shares his delight for the tower defense game Kingdom
Miller (Thomas Jane), Chrisjen Avasarala (Shohreh Aghdashloo), and Jim Holden (Steven Strait)Most of us lucky enough to have played in a kickass RPG campaign have dreamed of bringing our adventures to the page or the screen–and now we know tha
So many puzzles, so many quests…It’s a quest…for puzzles. Rob shares his passion for certain Puzzle Quest games and his disdain for others while Mary explores what doesn’t quite work about Adventure Time‘s foray into the genre.LINKSPuzzle Q
Sorry everyone!It’s New Tradition Time here at Nerdhole! Rather than round up another tired old “Best of the year” list, we offer you our sincere apologies for our ill-considered opinions. What did we get wrong this year? Listen and find out.
Death or glory!Paul schools his fellow nerds on the massively popular alliterative mobile game Clash of Clans. There’s a lot more going on in there than we expected, and a shocking amount of money changing hands.LINKSClash of ClansIt might
It’s not ALL dark and broody.Marvel’s second Netflix series dropped just over a month ago, and it’s surpassed Daredevil in our affections–something we really didn’t think was possible. Like all great genre work, it uses its fantastic elements
2 out of 3 Minutemen are women.It’s been out for a few weeks, and we’ve finally managed to pull ourselves away from our platforms of choice (Rob’s on a PC, while Mary and Paul are burning it up XBox-style) to chatter excitedly about the unstop
