- Is E3 Finally Dead? | The Nerd Stash Show #52
Hello, and welcome to another new episode of The Nerd Stash Show!
Strap in folks, we've got the first details about E3 2021, and they don't sound too promising. In fact, it's starting to sound like this might be the final few strikes before we lay one of the most prominent events in the industry to rest. But of course, we've been saying that for years at this point, but here we are.Also this week, news about Ubisoft refocusing their strategy in the future. Is this a bad sign? We've got confirmation on casting for The Last of Us TV show on HBO, did they make the right choice? And Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart FINALLY has a release date! We've trimmed the number of stories we're talking about this week and focusing on the conversation!Timestamps -- What Are We Playing? - 2:43

1 hr 24 min - PlayStation 5 Sells Big! | The Nerd Stash Show #51
Hello, and welcome back to another new episode of The Nerd Stash Show!
It's about that time when multiple companies give financial results, which means it's our best chance at hearing how successful (or unsuccessful) consoles and games are. This time, it's Sony, and the company is reporting massive numbers for nearly every aspect of PlayStation -- including the PlayStation 5! Let's break down some of the numbers Sony announced. Should we be excited or worried that these numbers might be lower than expected?Plus, Sony also took the veil off MLB The Show 21, confirming that Sony is developing and publishing a game on a rival platform for the first time ever. How big of news is this? And is this a testbed for the future, or was Sony strongarmed into this decision? There's also new Google Stadia news. However, it's not good. It sounds like the service is walking towards its grave. Let's also talk about a potential live-action The Legend of Zelda series that got canceled and the Embracer Group buying two new studios! All this and more! You won't want to miss this!Timestamps:- What Are We Playing? - 1:20

Hello, and welcome to another new episode of The Nerd Stash Show!
As we near the end of January, there's a topic we've missed discussing: our favorite games of 2020! Well, it's finally time to start talking about some of the best games we've played during the previous 12 months.But we're doing this in a different way than you might expect. Instead of traditional awards -- like "Best Platformer" or "Best Xbox Game" -- we've decided to make up our own awards and give them to games. Johnny and Brandon have 10 awards each to give away, plus their choice for Game of the Year, which means there are many great games to talk about. This format allows us to talk about some of the best, worst, and everything in between while letting us have some fun. What games win what awards? You'll have to listen to find out! As you might expect, there's going to be a few spoilers!Timestamps -- Intro/Rules - 0:00

Twitter || YouTube || Instagram || Website1 hr 56 min - Should Chris Evans Return to the MCU? | Nerds Talk Movies #34
Everyone thought Chris Evans was done playing Captain America after the epic event that was Avengers: Endgame. However, a new report indicates that Evans and Disney are nearing a deal that would see the return of the fan-favorite Marvel lead character. In this week's episode of Nerds Talk Movies, we'll talk about that along with Evans' response to the report.
Also on the show, we share our spoiler-free thoughts on WandaVision so far, speculate on whether or not we'll see Daredevil in Spider-Man Homecoming 3, and a whole lot more news outside of the MCU.
At the end of the show, we have our lightning round. In that segment, we'll quickly go over some of the weirder stories of the past week. Are we as Americans watching too much of The Office? Did Tom Cruise buy Terminator robots? Sadly, the answer to that last question appears to be a resounding no. But, it's still an absolutely insane story.

Then Lucasfilm Games announced Machine Games (yes, developers of Wolfenstein) are working on a new Indiana Jones game with Todd Howard as an Executive Producer. Finally, the company dropped news bigger than an AT-AT, Ubisoft and Massive Entertainment are making an open-world Star Wars game! Yes, a publisher other than EA is working on a game in the Star Wars universe! Let's break down the massive (pun intended) news!We also talk about CD Projekt continuing to struggle with Cyberpunk 2077's post-release messaging, some updates on a handful of PlayStation 5 titles, and we bring back the Rapid Fire segment for some quick-hit stories including two games getting delayed (one out of 2021 entirely!).

Hello, and welcome to another new episode of The Nerd Stash Show, our first recording of 2021!
It's already been a doozy of a year, and it's just beginning. If you're aware of recent events in America, you'll understand why we start the show with what's happening. As we've said before in the past, we try to avoid these topics since we want to be an "escapist" show, but certain topics are unavoidable and this is one. So, to start the show, we spend the first 15 minutes discussing some of our off the cuff thoughts and feelings about what's going on.And while there's no easy way to transition to the rest of the show, we still wanted to record and talk about some of the recent gaming news happening and there are some fun topics. For starters, we've learned that Microsoft approached Nintendo with discussions of buying them! Is there a possibility the PlayStation brand is declining in Japan? What about THAT Nintendo Direct "Leak" that's been floating around the internet for a few days? Let's break down these and more!Timestamps -- Intro/Let's Talk About What's Happening in America - 0:00
