NerdScape: Recent Episodes
NerdScape
Two siblings with not enough time on their hands try to stay on topic while nerding out about various things.
Wherein an in-depth discussion is inadvertently started about the genealogy of elves, the definition of mathoms, and the manliness of Faramir. Not in that order. Spoilers for Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, and the Silmarillion, of course.
Wherein our younger sister Risa joins the conversation to talk about her favorite fantasy series, various and myriad technical difficulties are had, and Dumbledore gets re-sorted into Slytherin.
Wherein Ralma and Fen discuss a few of the trailers from Comic-Con, and somehow get off track several times discussing M. Night Shyamalan, Justice League, Harry Potter, and... It? Spoilers: Pennywise is just a boggart.
Wherein Ralma and Fen list off some of the worst dads in nerdy fictional history, and explain what makes a bad dad. Featuring a series of PSAs about what NOT to do with your kids, including: bullying, using for political gain, and inducting into a cult!
Wherein Ralma acquired all new editing software, so despite the fact that editing should take much less time now, it actually took twice as long this time as she figured out how it all works. Also, Star Wars happens. Warning: Spoilers for everything except for Solo, unpopular opinions, and lots of geeking out.
Wherein Fen explains the Spiderverse, Ralma explains why there's a phoenix on the logo for the podcast, and comics in general are discussed at great length. Spoilers are mentioned for Spiderman: Homecoming, but not for Thor Ragnarok (whoopsie).
Wherein scheduling conflicts called for a last minute change of topic, so Ralma and Fen delve deep into their nerdy pasts to dig up old memories of dungeon diving and item collecting. Largely deals with the original title, as that is where the majority of their shared experiences lie, and also touches on behind-the-scenes info and the timeline for the series.
Wherein the episode was split into two parts because when you get these three in a [virtual] room together to talk about one of their favorite RPG series, they apparently don't ever shut up. WARNING: Spoilers for the FFVII Compilation, FFX, and FFXV (including all dlc content available as of 5/20/18). Featuring Ralma's husband Jax as a guest once more!
Wherein Ralma's mic seems to be overcompensating for being quiet last time, and also Ralma's husband Jax joins in. Also, we talk about Final Fantasy as a series, discuss our favorite X Y and Z of the games, and get off topic talking about Tales Of for some reason... Part 2 coming soon!
Wherein Ralma's mic is a little low for some reason, and Fen's keeps cutting out at random, but we still somehow manage to have a good talk about tabletop RPGs. Featuring extensive conversation about our current campaign that Ralma is DMing for.
