Geek Fanthology

Hello everyone. Neil here. Just wanted to let you know what's going on with our content.

Short version real life OP.

LONGER VERSION: My day job's current schedule is such that I cannot keep up with my extra curriculars. Streaming is on hold. The podcast is on hold etc. Only thing not on hold is RECORDINGS. I've got a big backlog of episodes that I'll be getting to soon. HERE'S THE GOOD NEWS: my schedule is changing in 3 weeks after which I'll have the energy to do stuff again. Until then we just ask that you be patient.

Thanks,

Neil

Hey There Everyone!

As is our want, our first episode of the year is both a retrospective as well as a prospective. We discuss the good and bad of the previous year and our hopes and fears for the coming year. One of Neil's resolutions this year was to actually post crap on Patreon, which is why this went up there on Tuesday. This one was supposed to go up on Wednesday but he forgot to hit the button. Also coming in February is bonus content exclusive to our patreon supporters, anyhow that’s not what you came here for. On to the content

What a year huh?

This is our last episode for 2021 (it had better be given that we’re releasing this on 12/31 (and yes Neil had said that he’d get this out by the 28th but he got a head cold for xmas and was unconsious that day… sorry.

What’s our big last episode for the year? Why a rambling discussion about expansion packs. Starting with an operational definition as to what differentiates them from DLC. You’ll get it as you listen.

All right Boys and Girls gather round and I’ll tell you a story,

Once upon a time there was a company that made video games. They made games that were beloved by a generation. They dominated an entire genre. But then… corruption arose. Honestly text our best medium for telling this story. Why don’t you listen to the episode instead.

Eyes, lungs, pancreas. So many snacks, so little time.

Technically this one isn’t a Marvel Movie… I mean… it is, but it was made by Sony. Venom 2 Let there be Carnage was…… well for this one you’ll really need to listen to the episode. There is more than can be said in a few lines of text.

Whatcha Listeners!

Marvel continues to pump out movies… we continue to watch them. This one was pretty good. it was Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. Neil and Ben do our standard bit. There will be no spoilers followed by spoilers and they will be clearly marked.

Press the A button to address the listeners

One immutable fact about video games is that you have to learn the controls. Most games take the time to teach you said controls, and perhaps also introduce basic story elements and characters too. These introductions are called tutorials. Some are done well. Some are done poorly. A rare few aren’t done at all. We will talk about these tutorials both terrible and terrific. Press the play button on your media player of choice to continue.

It’s been a while. Hello again Everyone!

First off, the Elephant in the room. We’re way behind on releases. We have a back catalogue of 3 more episodes that we’re working on getting out ASAP. Our editor, Neil, has been fighting real world issues for a while and has been getting a little overwhelmed. Editing on another episode is done and the other 2 should be up by the end of the weekend. We ask you be patient with us at this time. As a result of this, this episode was recorded back in September. it may no-longer be up to date perfectly but it is still content that we can recommend and that you should hopefully get a laugh out of.

From time to time we like to just take a step back from our curated topical content and just talk about what we’ve been really into recently. Think of this like Signal Boost the Episode. Hope you enjoy!

Variants of every gender!Enclosed with our typical lateness is our thoughts on Loki, there will be thoughts without spoilers and then thoughts with spoilers.

Neil’s got some irons in the fire that should help to streamline the process and we hope to be back to a regular schedule soon but for the time being the episodes are out when they’re out. We’re still recording every other week but the editing is getting to him a bit. Hope to have better news about that soon.

Viltrumites and Lesser Beings (joking)

Neil and Mike talk about Invincible. It’s a good show. We analyze many things about it. First without spoiling the show and then after some music by spoiling it. Enjoy
