Normal Nerds

Do you get heated every time you play Magic the Gathering? Do you feel the need to brag about how expensive your deck is? Do you explain what a card does by referencing three other cards that nobody knows about? Then you might be a Sweaty Magic Player. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of the Normal Nerds Podcast, this week we are discussing some of the most intense (and annoying) types of Magic players which we have deemed “Sweaty Magic Players”. These are your intense players who take MTG from being a fun card game, to an exhausting and miserable experience. Listen and hear our thoughts about Sweaty Magic Players at the Normal Nerds Podcast.

In the second part of our anime review we review some of our favorite anime (and Promised Neverland). We talk about Asta’s beast mode take down of Dante the demon king, in what has to be the BEST episode of Black Clover so far. Staying in line with that Re: Zero whips out arguably the most satisfying/frustrating episode so far, where Otto demonstrates how not to do fire safety. Finally there is the Promised Neverland which has found itself on the chopping block for the last few weeks, and this episode has not changed our minds. It's all here at the Normal Nerds Podcast.

Welcome back to another installment of the Normal Nerds Anime Review. As always (or as long as the show is viable and airing) we discuss the newest episodes of Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen. This week Falco found out once again that simping for a murder hobo girl does not lead to the best results for his physical well being, and we get to see Eren have an absolute baller entrance scene. In Jujutsu Kaisen we witnessed the intense, high stakes game of High School Baseball. Hear about the show that breaks all the anime rules do it again by making a baseball episode that is relevant to the overall plot. It's all right here at the Normal Nerds Podcast.

Our resident Legend of Zelda fanboy Maxwell will attempt to answer all the questions put to him by Davis (who low key hopes that these questions make sense since he has only played two Zelda games in his life). Can Maxwell prove that he is a true Zelda nerd or will he be deemed a filthy casual, stick around and find out.

In this week's general grievance we bring you a topic that is known far and wide as truly heinous, Filler and Recap episodes. For what anime fan has not felt the cruel touch of filler being inserted randomly after what is usually an amazing arc. But even more merciless than this are the dreaded recap episodes which serve in no way to move the plot forward, but instead give you a rundown of everything you have already watched, even if it was just eight episodes ago. We list the reasons why with think these trends should stop in anime and name some of the most heinous offenders of either category *cough cough* Jujutsu Kaisen *cough*.

If you have ever wasted the party’s time explaining how cool your turn is because you comboed off these rules, if you have ever tried to tell the DM that they are playing the game wrong, if you have said the words “um actually” to another player then you might be a Rules Lawyer. Today we bring you a general grievance episode that is near and dear to our hearts Rules Lawyers. These are the people in any given dnd group that know the rule book inside and out and make sure that you know that they know it. These individuals thrive on thinking that playing dnd to the letter of the rule is the best way to play the game and we are here to tell them that it is not.
