Welcome to the Rand(Nerds); Podcast episode 49

This podcast we’re back livestreaming, but we’re sans Bard. So back to the old times with just Skazz and TheSuffolkRam trying to hold it together and avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Skazz has been learning to touch type with Z-type, a top down shooting that involves typing very fast correctly to destroy space ships by typing accurately. Ram has been accidentally killing fireman, building canteens to prevent riots and quickly building fences to prevent escapes with prison architect. Skazz also has been destroying his life and two fingers with Super Hexagon

We discuss the now announced the shutting down of Vine, and the newest Nintendo console. Ram also has a brief re talk about SOMA and how the world will look, and what PC Gamer will do, if the internet disappeared. We talk about new methods of resuscitation, military land rovers, and one of our livestream viewers comes up with a new TV series staring Ram

Notes:

How well can you touch type? find out with ZType

A game with rapid fence building: Prison Architect

Learn rapid reactions with Super Hexagon

Here’s a very useful link to the soon to be defunct Vine

Is it a tablet? is in a console? no its the Nintendo switch

Could have almost been on Vine, if only they could do it in less then 7 seconds: Stormtroopers of Death 6 songs in 9 seconds.

Welcome to the Rand(Nerds); Podcast episode 48 Video

We start off with Skazz having a rant about multi-platform gaming, or the lack of it, including a brief slip into talking about Steam Machines. TheSuffolkRam’s been playing and being terrified in the thankfully none VR supported game SOMA, We have to beep out Bards attempt at a spoiler. Meanwhile, Bard’s been tuning nail guns into shotguns in the game Smash and Grab.

TSR shows his difficulties with his next phone choice with the announcement of iPhone’s 7 lack of a headphone socket, during the discussion we find out Skazz is slightly obsessed with DAC’s, or Digital-to-Audio Converters to English speakers. Skazz also announces his upcoming relaunch and the return of the Podcast livestreams.

Finally we flash back to Australia ban-heavy tactics to game, and also weird news featuring our favorite IgNobel Prizes.

Notes:

Get scared by machines with SOMA

Go from nail-guns to crossbows to shotguns with Smash and Grab

A phone without headphones: the iPhone 7
