Multiple Nerdgasm

Microsoft is finally shutting down the Xbox 360 store so Luke is snapping up some bargains and very, very slowly downloading them. There’s a new Assassin’s Creed game on the way Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, and it’s set in feudal Japan! What could go wrong? We also discuss Superman, Tom Selleck, Starfield and much more!

We’ve got two giant companies for you to get mad at this week: Apple and Microsoft. Apple for crushing a bunch of cool stuff and Microsoft for crushing the careers of some talented game developers. We also discuss Picard, Fallout, Baby Reindeer and William Shatner!

Fate and technology were against us this week, but we pushed through thank to the power of eggs.

Luke has landed in Vietnam and despite his best efforts has yet to be arrested. We talk about Vietnamese beer and street food, VCF East, the Fallout TV show, Picard Season Two, Alan Wake and unfortunately we reveal this week that Atlantis is not real.

We’re back after a week away, sorry about that! This week we discuss Luke’s new rules for drinking, Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon and Suckerpunch, more Mission: Impossible movies, Sicario, Mulholland Drive and more David Lynch stuff, The Fallout TV show, and much more!

None of us are officially knighted, but at least one of us has played The Dark Knight in a sketch.

Luke has a new nickname!

Life finds a way...

We also do our own stunts, as you'll discover in this episode.

Sure it comes with popcorn in it but once you’ve eaten all the popcorn there are plenty of other things you could stick in there.

It’s an ugly planet! A bug planet! Would you like to hear more?

Sure it sounds weird but I guess you gotta smoke something, right?
