SuperNerdLIVE

In where the crew sits down after a hiatus to talk about the inane #NotNolan campaign, work conditions in the 1970s, drugs, the importance of not ignoring women's lived experiences even if they defy your expectation, and how great it would be to have hot tube meetings.

On today's SuperNerdLIVE, the crew talks about toxicity in the gaming community, the straw men that the media builds around it, and game journalists roles in spreading toxicity.

Join us as we get invaded by the Graded Point Five team, and talk shop about our current thoughts on the Marvel media empire (sans comics... well a little bit of comics..). Plus some bonus talk at the end about fighting games!
