  • Special: 10 Years Without Pants
     Ten years. Ten. YEARS. It’s hard to believe that Nerds Without Pants has been around for an entire decade, but here we are. NWP co-founder Rob Ottone joins us for a trip down memory lane that makes ever so many pit stops along the way.
    There isn’t a lot of gaming talk here, as we focus on the humble beginnings of Nerds Without Pants, the history of the show, and how Justin came to be here. We also spend a goodly amount of time talking about Rob’s writing career, various YouTube stuff, and the mess we all live in now.
    We do manage to get a little gaming in, of course, with some Overwatch talk, the cost of video games, falling out of gaming (and hopping back in), and lots of other things.
    And Street Sharks, for some reason.

  • Episode 221: We Don't Talk About SOPFFO
    Welcome back to Nerds Without Pants! We’re coming in a bit late this, time, because Julian got real dang sick after we recorded. Thankfully you won’t notice that in the episode, and it’s a pretty good one, even if we didn’t have much new to say this week.
    No time for the usual show notes, but we complete the semifinals of the Nerds Without Pants Video Game Cage Match championship tournament, get some more Elden Ring, talk some new games in Norco and A Memoir Blue, and then we talk some SOPFFO (Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin). If you want to hear even more on that, check out Julian on the latest episode of the Mage Cast!
