Lore Boys

Lore Boys here with more of that good lore we can't resist: it's another Elder Scrolls episode and this one is as jam-packed with good stuff as the last two. We're talking about the mysterious Dwemer: Nirn's dwarves who are actually elves. These elves are deep -- live in their parents basement and give you unsolicited advice about life deep.

We realize that James can't tell two dwarves apart, twirling mustaches is a dead giveaway of a villain, and going to war is worth it if it's to destroy a giant racist robot. James gets his chicken tendies, Ethan builds a boat, and Peter gets disappointed by Mass Effect 3 somehow. So climb aboard this metaphorical ship of state and get yourself some Elder Scrolls lore.

Lore Boys here with more Elder Scrolls Lore! Last time we talked about Elder Scrolls creation lore, so naturally this time we're talking the creation of the Elder Scrolls lore! We cover everything you need to know about what the Elder Scrolls are and what the gosh-darn they do. Turns out there's a lot of canon material in Elder Scrolls Online as well, and it fits in real nice to this episode.

So jack in those head phones and come find out: the similarities between the Elder Scrolls and Thomas Young's Double-Slit Experiment, how Edison trained giant ancestor moths to sack Tesla's workshop, where vampires come from, and how the dwarves could build a device so big it could read an Elder Scroll.

Happy 4th of July! This episode we're doing a deep dive into more pen & paper, but this time in relation to a video game we're really excited about: Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red's upcoming sci-fi dystopia world is built off the tabletop RPG of the '80s that shares the same name, and it's chocked full of all the awesome lore and history you would expect, and it also may sort of detail a horrible dystopian descent of the United States brought on by rampant corporatism and greed BUT NOT LIKE THAT COULD HAPPEN, RIGHT GUYS?

We're talking robot armies owned by corporations, bio-engineered plagues unleashed by government agencies, and maybe a couple fallen nukes. Strap in and slick your hair back while we take you on a wild ride through the Danger Zone of Night City.

Lore Boys here with another lore-chocked episode. This time we're talking all about the creation myth of the world of The Elder Scrolls. Tune in to find out everything you need to know about Mundus, Tamriel, Akatosh, and Anu. With a world so rich in lore, it must mean our podcast is equally rich in great content, right?

This episode: Peter talks ancient aliens, we find out who Ethan likes to call during coitus, and James dives in to yet another Disney classic with Ariel. So how about we let chaos and order fight this one out while we learn what makes a dark elf so dark and what makes french hats so floppy.

Well we're here on a Saturday, I guess, and we have opinions on this year's E3. Some was good, some was bad, but I think we can all agree that almost none of it was real, and none of it was as cringey as we may have hoped.

Enjoy!

Lore Boys here bringing you all the news from the pre- and post-nuclear fallout American Commonwealth. Another tale from Bethesda's Fallout series, we're telling the story of the Brotherhood of Steel, a paramilitary organization with a serious hard-on for laser tag. We're talking vats of genetically modified goo, man-eating mutants with human hands for feet, and a man named Harold with a tree named Bob growing out of his head.

So listen up while we feed you some tasty Fallout lore, after all, two piles of irradiated laser dust can't feed ya. It's the end of the world so there's no time left to ship that death robot.

Lore Boys are here with all that juicy Fallout lore you need -- just in time for E3 2018! We've got the whole Fallout backstory covered so you know longer have to smile awkwardly as that coworker of yours tells you for the umpteenth time why you should be grateful for the Fallout 76 announcement. Though we have to wonder if Bethesda had even considered that cloning the dinosaurs would have prevented this whole Fallout mess.

This episode Peter gives up our secret codes, James struggles with math, and Ethan has a really stupid realization. We ask, "If a tree fell in the ocean, who came first?" and discuss how climate change is like the planet is experiencing a hangover.
