Ep71 - The Written Nerd
Wednesday Oct 02, 2013
Wednesday Oct 02, 2013
This week, the guys discuss the written word, and its importance to the world of nerddom. We examine how being a reader helps to form one's nerd mind, from the techy ideas that sci-fi is famous for, to learning how to deal with being an outsider through comic books, to just killing some time with video game related reading.

Tom enjoys a period of peace and contentment by visiting Seattle's popular gaming convention, PAX Prime! Enthralled by the overwhelming options, Tom reports on his favorite video game sneek peaks and discusses the panels he attended. Returning from these travels with a sense of nerdy enlightenment that would make Buddha proud, he immediately sets out on a new quest - to share the news of this amazing experience, and to recruit others to bask in it with him next time.

Rik has been kidnapped by a rock and roll band, and they're going to force him to play the music he loves in front of thousands of screaming fans! Are Tom and Brian bad enough dudes to save him in time to record the podcast? No. They'll just talk about their favorite horrible games from the 8, 16, and 32 bit eras without him. Poor Rik.

Ep65 - Class is in Session at Video Game High School
Monday Aug 12, 2013
Monday Aug 12, 2013
Dear Listeners,
We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole evening in front of our microphones for whatever makes you laugh. What we do is fun, but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you to watch this show or not. You see is as you want to see it. In the simplest terms. The most convenient definitions.
But what we found out is that this show is about a nerd gamer...
and a dudebro...
and a guitar player with the heart of a drifter...
a cute love interest...
and is a show you should really check out.
Does that answer your question?
Sincerely yours,
The Ganza Club
