Galactic Driftwood

"There is no spoon." Welcome back for another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! Bill and Linda are out again, at Teslacon, but the rest of the crew is here to talk about all things nerdy and genre fiction! This week we're talking about The Peripheral, a near-future science-fiction show about virtual reality, currently streaming on Amazon Prime. Be warned! There's both virtual, and real spoilers coming up because, as you might guess, there's more going on than just some VR games going on in this show.

"Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore'" - Edger Allen Poe. You better buckle in, gird your loins, and prepare yourself, because it's time for another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! This week, we're going to talk about the latest Mike Flannigan joint, The Fall of the House of Usher. Like previous works (Haunting of Hill House, Haunting of Bly Manor, Midnight Mass) this series isn't for the faint of heart, and Usher is no exception. Spoiler warnings from here on out! Both for the faint of heart and for those who haven't watched yet.

Dead by Daylight! On this episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're talking about our recent trip back to the Argo Hotel in Crofton Nebraska. For anyone who missed when we went there last year, the Argo is "Nebraska's Most Haunted" hotel and was featured on an episode of Ghost Hunters! It's the perfect spooky location for an limited epic horror D&D campaign. 3 DM's! 6 players! No way out! Tune in and find out how things went! Were the DM's prepared? Did the players survive? These answers and more await you! Just remember, don't go toward the light!

Greetings fellow nerds! It's time for another exciting episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. This week we're doing a bit of a catch-up episode for an issue that started off a month or two ago, has changed and updated since then, but we're here with our first thoughts on what has happened, and has been happening with Unity, a video game engine who's been in the news for screwing over their customers. Or attempting to. If you're interested in a follow up with more recent events, let us know!

Welcome back to another, fabulous episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast. This week we're coming to you the day after the fabulous Anime NebrasKon, October 20-22 at the MidAmerica Convention Center. Sadly, we weren't able to report live from the convention this year, but Bill and Seth were able to get there to scope the con out. In addition, we're joined by, fan favorite, Benito Garcia who ran a live-play D&D game for us at the con this year. If you've never been to NebKon, this is the episode to watch, and wet your appetite for next year's show!

Double double toil and trouble... Have I used that phrase before? Yes. Will I change it? No. Welcome back to another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! This week we're talking spooky stuff, specifically, haunted houses! We're talking about a great old haunt in the Omaha area that sadly didn't survive the hit of the pandemic. But fear not, there's plenty of other area options for you wonderful listeners who also happen to enjoy your spooks. Got any recommendations or stories of your own? Leave us a comment!

Do or do not, there is no try. This week the Galactic Driftwood Podcast is rocketing out of hyperspace to talk about Ahsoka, a Star Wars show, currently streaming on Disney+ and kicking up a LOT of memes online. We're gonna talk about Jedi, the Sith, what *spoiler* did when *spoiler* couldn't *spoiler*. It goes without saying that if you haven't seen this season yet, you should probably watch that first instead of *spoiler spoiler spoiler*.

Gotta go fast. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're taking a look at one of the recent entries in the DC Extended Universe, The Flash! Beware, there's spoilers, and going back in time may tear the fabric of the multiverse! Is what I'd say if our time travel rules made more sense than the ones in The Flash. Enough editorializing! The review is in the show, not the description! Let us know what you thought in the comments!

Build it, and they will come. End it, or they will never leave. Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, welcome back to another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! We’re down a few crew members this week due to various causes, but that doesn’t matter because those losers didn’t go to DragonCon anyway! That’s right, this week we’re talking about DragonCon, one of THE convention experiences to go to in the U.S. We’re talking tracks, vendors room, and Con weirdness (wouldn’t be a gathering of nerds without it). Find out what treasures the Captains found, and other things one might experience at this enormous event!

It is a good day to roll death saves. Hey there, Drifters! We're coasting back into your local orbit this week to talk about drama in the TTRPG community. What? There's drama? Well... there's old drama as this was recorded a few weeks ago... But really, this weeks episode is less about enjoying the drama as it is to cool it down and maybe do a bit to restore order to the galaxy. Either way, we're talking about a couple new game systems, Candela Obscura and Daggerheart, both by Darrington Press of Critical Role fame. So, if you're in the market for a fresh way to roll dice and murder poor, innocent goblins, give us a listen! Let us know in the comments if you're interested in giving Candela Obscura a try.

Children of the night. What sweet music they make! Guys, gals, and non-binary pals, the Galactic Driftwood Podcast is back for another awesome episode! We're joined once again by show favorite, Stu Burns to talk about something right up his alley....Dracula! In particular, we (most of us) watched The Last Voyage of the Demeter, recently out in theaters. Tune in, but bewaaaaaare the spoilers and don't forget to leave your thoughts in the comments!

A play within a play, a story within a story. This week on the Galactic Driftwood Podcast we're taking a look at a movie that might have gotten past our screeners. We're going to be talking about Asteroid City, which you might be able to catch in the theater, but will probably have a better chance at seeing it on streaming. Granted, this isn't our usual fair but was an interesting experience! Tune in and see if it's something you'd be interested in!

Come one, come all! Step right up and try your luck in the Murder Dungeon!

Specifically we're going to be talking about a session, run by friend of the show Benito Garcia, as an exhibition at OCon in Omaha. Yuanti Pureblood Warlocks, Rock'n'roll wizards, and more of Bill's puns than you can shake a shaken chew toy at await you on this weeks episode!

Up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a... New animated Superman series!

We've got thoughts! We're going to talk about Star Trek and aliens!

Welcome, to Jurassic Park! Hey, Drifters! Welcome back to another episode of the Galactic Driftwood Podcast! This week we're cruising through your solar system and being extra careful to avoid asteroids. Granted, crash landing on your planet today is a bit better than what happens to Adam Driver in 65, the where he lands is less important than when, which is 65 million years ago (hence the title). Tune in to hear what we thought about the movie and our opinions on interstellar travel on a bargain budget!

To go where no one has 'noped!' before.

"You chose.... wisely." Grab your bull whip, get your leather jacket and get ready for an adventure! No, not that kind of adventure! Weirdos.

Should you go see it? How's the deaging on 'Young' Indy? Find out these answers and more in this week's Galactic Driftwood Podcast!

Got $3500 dollars to drop? With Apple announcing their new *cough* $3500 headset, we thought now might be a really good time to talk about virtual reality headsets, what's currently on the market, what's coming in the near future, and whether or not if you die in the game, you'll die in real life. Join us for a discussion of the future of consumer electronics!
