The Nerdologues

MB tosses a cold one to Eric with an MLB highlight featuring a football player, and Eric finds a bright spot outside of his struggling Pirates over on the struggling Marlins. After a robust review of the Braves last 10, they get into the mind of an MLB pitcher by putting their short term memory skills to the test.

200! 200 episodes of So Many Bits, and to celebrate we have two returning guests. Harris Foster of Finji returns to the show to discuss the expanding landscape for indy games such as their title Overland, what makes a game like Wilmot's Warehouse "Finji", and the subculture of the gamer performance arts!

Meanwhile, my original co-host Cliff Murphy is back to chat about the surreal horror of Black Mirror in Screenwatching. It's just like Super Mario Bros.!
