October 02, 2020Our Desert Island Games | The Nerd Stash Show #33
Hello, and welcome back to another new episode of The Nerd Stash Show (a palindrome!). We've got a great one for you and a very special announcement. Instead of our usual news-focused show, we decided to make a more light-hearted episode detailing what games we'd like to have if we were ever on a deserted island. Yes, we list our desert island games! We also pick one franchise (the entire catalog of games from a franchise) to have because it allows us to look forward to something in our hypothetical situation. Of course, this island is special: it comes with a t.v., any console, electricity, and the internet! We're on the Lost island, but instead of polar bears, we get video games.
What's the special announcement, you ask? We've partnered with Activision to give away five, yes FIVE, codes to the brand new Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, out now on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. You can enter here (https://bit.ly/CrashGiveaway if the link doesn't work for you) for your chance at one of five North America PlayStation 4 codes! The contest runs from October 2nd until October 11th, 2020 and we'll be picking a random winner on October 12th. Enter for your chance to win! Exciting stuff!

September 25, 2020Microsoft Buys Bethesda for $7.5 Billion! | The Nerd Stash Show #32
Hello, and welcome back to another new episode of The Nerd Stash Show. When you hear $7.5 billion in cash, what is the first thing you think of? Paying off your debt, buying that car you always wanted, and maybe helping the family out? What about getting crazy and buying an island and finding ways to become a real-life Batman? Well, if you're Microsoft, you decide to purchase ZeniMax Media, the parent company of Bethesda, and so many incredible game studios. Microsoft added The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, DOOM, and more to its portfolio in one swoop.
Shockingly announced Monday morning, we're still figuring out what the future of video games means with this purchase. Let's break down the deal, what this means for Microsoft, the Xbox, Game Pass, and even Sony. It's a long one, so strap in.
There's also talk about Amazon announcing a Stadia competitor with their new streaming service, Luna. Are Sony and Insomniac doing the right thing by charging for Spider-Man: Remastered? Sony also clears up some backward compatibility questions, and we've got a few rapid-fire stories to go over as well.

September 14, 2020Is Fast 9 Going to Space??? | Nerds Talk Movies #15
It turns out, the long-running joke/rumor is actually happening. It seems that the Fast and Furious franchise is going to space for F9: The Fast Saga. Also, The Walking Dead is finally ending after 11 seasons. But, why does it feel like the franchise has more upcoming content than ever before?

We react to those topics and a whole lot more in this episode of Nerds Talk Movies!

September 11, 2020Remember, Remember the 10th of November | The Nerd Stash Show #30
Hello, and welcome back to another new episode of The Nerd Stash Show! We've got a jam-packed episode filled with a lot of big news topics to talk about. Not only is the Xbox Series S real (a terribly kept secret at this point), but following a bunch of leaks earlier this week, Microsoft went ahead and announced their second next-gen console. And it's only $299! We also know the price of the Xbox Series X and the launch date for both of Microsoft's consoles! Eat your heart out, Sony! Time to break down Microsoft's big Xbox week.
Plus, Nintendo also surprised the world by announcing Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, a sequel to Hyrule Warriors, and it takes place 100 years before Breath of the Wild. What does the crew think about this? With news about Nintendo asking developers to make games 4K capable, is a 4K Switch actually happening? Finally, Ubisoft held their second Forward event filled with new looks at some announced games and the (not so) surprise return of Prince of Persia. For all the good, unfortunately, Ubisoft is doing wrong...
