Welcome to a new episode of the Dumpster Fire, er, I mean, Nerds Without Pants! Yes, we had some serious issues getting this episode to you, but it should be somewhat entertaining. We’ve got the best of the games that never were, epic road trips, questionable MMO addictions, and an eclectic mix of games for Chrono Crossing. Let’s jump in!

00:00-03:31: Introduction

03:47-1:00:39: STAGE SELECT- Top 3 Cancelled Games

1:01:27-1:29:06: CONSUMPTION JUNCTION- Julian’s trip to the Bay Area, Patrick’s pining for Breath of the Wild, Angelo’s descent into Tera

1:29:29-1:55:08: CHRONO CROSSING- 1999

1:55:24-2:01:33: Outro and outtakes

NEXT EPISODE:

We are Chrono Crossing back to 1998, widely considered the greatest year for video games to date. As such, the entire episode is dedicated to this monumental year. Instead of selecting only one game, we want your top five games of 1998.

Be sure to submit your picks by March 23 at 9pm Central time. Julian promises not to leave out comments by accident this time! As always, your input makes NWP great!
