The Nerdologues

We Should Talk is perhaps the most sophisticated and granular look at dialogue in gaming out there, and this week Bill, Carol Mertz, and Jordan Jones-Brewster, discuss the game, their work on the Pixel Pop Festival, and their go-to duet karaoke song!

We had a live show scheduled for April but of course had to scrap it due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In our first non-live show we have stories from the wonderful Elizabeth Pfiester, Bethany Willeford, and Melanie Andrews and music from Ben Rathert and Tony Baker.

Shelby returns to the podcast to talk about the games we've been playing! We cover Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Human Fall Flat, Beat Saber, Ringfit Adventure DLC, Murder By Numbers, Persona 3 / 5 Dancing by ___light, and Super Mario RPG!

Reconnecting the isolated fruits of a a village (or an orchard?), Garden Story's charm is embodied in Rose City Game's Community Manager Jenny Windom. In this week's interview we discuss the Portland indie gaming scene, working from home, and the inimitable Broccowilli Broccolewis.

Brandon returns this week to talk about his time with Fire Emblem: Three Houses and Afterparty, while Bill talks Bury Me, My Love and Return of the Obra Dinn. Plus they've both been playing the Final Fantasy VII Remake demo and Man of Medan and are comparing notes!

Flying power disc action returns! The Neo Geo cult classic will finally receive a well-deserved sequel soon, and DotEmu Game Designer Jordi Ascensio is on this week to discuss the game's history, new additions, and improving on what he considers a perfect game!

Meanwhile, Brandon Shockney is back on to discuss the brand new Apple TV show Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet on Screenwatching!

Even though Jo has some hope for Scout and her illness, she's still tense. Jo and her friends find an old fashion stress reliever in an odd place. 

Back with Part 2 of my trip to PAX: demos, Magic, GDQ, and more interviews!

So they're finally here, interviewing for you
Bill says the words, and the guests do too
Put your hands together, if you want to clap
As we take you through this PAX recap!

In a shocking turn of events, Dr. Hornet announces that he has given up his ownership of the Shaboo Inn - and that it was his own decision. As Dr. Hornet plays some of his favorite deep cuts from the likes of Jeff Beck and Wishbone Ash to soothe his pain, old friends & foes alike call in to give him a proper sendoff. What’s next for the Doctor of Rock?
