Nerds Without Pants

Welcome to a special edition of Nerds Without Pants! Justin and Julian loved The Outer Worlds so much that they had to devote an entire episode to it! Yeah...there's not really much more to say about it than that!

We start off with talking about our expectations of the game, and go into detail on the characters we created. Then we do a broad walkthrough of the game, which is pretty great considering neither of us took any notes. Ok, yeah, we get some stuff wrong, but the point is, we played the game in very different ways and it was fun comparing notes. We hope you enjoy it!

Welcome to a creative edition of Nerds Without Pants! This week, we’re joined by Mike, the host of Games My Mom Found. We talk about our favorite created characters, a ton of games, and decide who wins when Resident Evil 2 takes on…Resident Evil 2?! I dunno, man, the listeners book these cage matches.
