Welcome to our long-anticipated spoilercast for Horizon: Forbidden West! We are joined by Brock Sager of the Comic Conspiracy podcast. Turns out that Brock is an Aloy super fan, and we end up having a...really thoughtful discussion on a game that didn't deserve to be instantly forgotten. 

MAJOR spoilers for the entire game, in case the title wasn't clear. So skip this unless you aren't planning on playing this one.

You know, in hindsight, it was probably a poor idea to have the bombastic Mike Fallek guest on this episode of Nerds Without Pants, considering we were doing a listener AMA. Oh well, just consider this a learning experience. And even though this is the LONGEST EPISODE OF NWP EVER in a year where we’ve already broken the record twice this year it’s also a banger. Enjoy!

Hey folks! This episode of Nerds Without Pants was recorded while Julian was on vacation, so this is a very mediocre endeavor. Anyway, on to the show!

No time for timestamps this week, but we talked about our least favorite areas and levels in games, Read Dead Redemption 2, some more Elden Ring, and a little bit of Trails From Zero. Then, Grand Theft Auto V takes on Read Dead Redemption 2 in the cage!

Yep, this is happening. Check it out!
