Lore Boys

Lore Boys are back for more good lore and video game backstory. This week we're keeping the spook level set to doot as we dive into the scariest of foggy towns: Silent Hill. We're tackling all the good spook stories that lobster country has to offer, from lost tourists to early European settlers playing Uno.

This week Ethan gets caught in a tourist trap, Jamie figures out why they call it Cordon Bleu, and Peter shows he's more trick than treat these days. So hop in your ghost boat, take a big swig of ghost water, and let's find out all the history to Silent Hill!

Lore Boys are back, and this time we're talking about the First Encounter Assault Recon (F.E.A.R.) team and their backstory. Who is the spooky little girl running across the screen of my Pentium III laptop? Why am I standing in a hallway full of blood with a scary skeleton dooting right at me? Why shouldn't I feel bad about killing all these soldiers?

These questions and more get answered as we delve into the Origins of the paranormal in the year 2025. Alma, Paxton Fettel, Harlan Wade, erm, Point Man, all the household names for the series make an appearance. We're also joined by self-proclaimed F.E.A.R. expert Martin Lis, writer for screengeek.com , who came on to help us out with today's episode. You can find all his links here:

Hey everyone, Lore Boys are back this week to talk to you about Spyro, the Dragon, and all the lore therein. Who were Spyro's parents, what's his dragonfly buddy's name, what was Cinder or the Dark Master's business? We've got the answers to those questions and more! Plug in those headphones and we'll figure out if the murderer was Colonel Mustard in the Dining Room with the Candelabra or Spyro in the Library with his fancy purple scales.

This week James names someone Greased Lightning, Ethan talks about how modern money is made, and Peter helps Spyro navigate the difficulties of puberty, being adopted, and being fused to your sister by a dark lord.

This week is an event episode. Jamie returns from 5 weeks at war in Europe, Ethan is still sick but soldiers on, and Peter with the help of our friend Kris (@sketchnsteinz) tackles the life of Big Boss from the Metal Gear series!

That's right it's our first four man squad!

We're talking Red Bull, shadow governments, Russian Jungles, men exploding into bees, men exploding into dried leaves, misinterpreting the basic concept of world peace by becoming a army for hire and of course possibly the most important character of them all. The Boss herself and how her philosophy influenced and confused half a dozen men for nearly 100 years.

So strap in and HALO jump into the wilderness of this episode of The Lore Boys!

Lore Boys here with more of Ethan's favoritest good lore stuff: Dungeons and Dragons! We're talking about the Spelljammer setting and all the space battlin', phlogiston-huffin', crystal-sphere story you can handle.

We'll discuss a protester chained to a tree for 5000 years, space mace, tree meat, Peter's dumb friend, and the drawbacks of putting a screen door on your space submarine!

It's the end of an era of Battletech, at least until we get mobs of Battletech fans storming our doors demanding more. We've reached the end of the canon timeline for Battletech, meaning we're taking the Republic of the Spheres formed during the time of the Blake Jihad and dragging into into the Dark Age, to when all the telephone lines across the universe went down to continue the metaphor from our last four episodes.

James is still working in Poland, so Ethan and Peter go as off the rails as they're allowed while dad's not around. We discuss mailmen in space, dogs chasing mailmen in space, half frozen dogs chasing half frozen mailmen.... you get where I'm going, we spend a lot of time discussing the actual viability of launching mailmen into space as a suitable replacement for interstellar communication lines.

We're back after a week off and coming at you with more of my personal favorite: Warhammer 40K lore. The Warhammer canon is so chock full of good stuff it's hard to decide what to talk about, but we brought on a very special guest from the Stranger Lands podcast (https://thestrangerlands.com/) Murphy Giller! Murphy's an expert on the Imperium and the Horus Heresy, and he's here to tell us a few things about it.

We talk about how many licks it would take to get to the center of Mars, an Orgy Continent on Party Planet, Benedict Cumberbatch becoming a Primarch, and what the job details of being a "post-punch" mayor are. So strap on in and buckle up as we try and impose order on this bad-boy of a universe.

Lore Boys are back after our unexpected vacation, and we're here with the hot spiciness that is Dark Souls pre-history. We're talking that Big Soul Energy as we explain the origins of the Dark Soul, the four roommates who fight about it, Gwyn, the Witch of Izaleth, Nito, and the Freaky -- ahem, Furtive Pygmy. We talk about why the Lords hate the dragons, why being a dragon and living in a world of gray mediocrity is good, and we talk about why living in the dark is bad.

We're all descended from ravers anyway, so slap in those earbuds and be the Wendy to our Peter Pan as we take you to see the wonder of the Dark Soul in the heart of the Abyss. Silver medal Ethan explains how lightning bolts work and Peter bad mouths fuck boys.
