Ep 79: Harry Potter and Sorcerer’s Stone Review

November 16, 2020 04:34 - 2 hours - 95.7 MB

Topic: Harry Potter and Sorcerer’s Stone Review   Finally a chance to see if Print matches Film!  I’ve wanted, and probably some point will, to do this with Anime as there are numerous examples of printed comics (Manga) being turned in to animated shows (Anime), and sometimes the differences are stark, and sometimes, it’s a One to One copy.  This isn’t the case, as Harry Potter itself has numerous changes to it that take an 8 hour read in to a 2 hour film, and with a shortened run time, so...

Ep 78: Harry Potter Tutorial

November 08, 2020 15:30 - 1 hour - 74.4 MB

Topic: Harry Potter Tutorial   Eventually we’re going to get to something a bit more literary, and it was a topic that was teased a number of times.  So we dive into Harry Potter and its rather lengthy book series.  Our conversation takes  a bit to get there due to the most recent events regarding the author, but I still felt it was a good discussion.   History Written by J.K. Rowling, she was convinced of the idea while her train from Manchester to London was delayed in 1990.  Between ...

November 01, 2020 00:12 - 1 hour - 191 MB

Topic: Fate Stay/Night: Unlimited Blade Works Review   While mom didn’t watch all of it, she actually kind of wants to now, just to see where the story goes.  This isn’t a bad thing, if anything, another person who will finally understand my undying love for Saber.  Okay maybe not undying love, but atleast sees these complicated characters and world for what they are.      To help people follow along, here’s a list of the various characters that are seen throughout the series, to better...

Ep 76: Fate / Stay Night Tutorial

Topic: Fate / Stay Night Tutorial   Today, we dive deep in to one of my favorite Anime Franchise, the Fate series, specifically Fate Stay/Night and its prequel Fate Zero.  I know that the series is very dense and large, especially when you consider all the spin offs and media that exists out there for it.  And that’s before you get to ALL of the Sabers out there…. Let dive in!     What is it? Fate / Stay Night, or the Fate Franchise, is a part of a large universe of characters and stor...

October 08, 2020 15:44 - 1 hour - 69.2 MB

Topic: Lego Tutorial   This week, we look at the tiniest building material ever, and the rather huge empire it’s spawned as a result.  Both myself and mom have fond memories of this toy, and so what better discussion than Legos!   History of Legos History starts in 1916, when Ole Kirk Christiansen purchased a woodworking shop that had been in business for 30 years prior, primarily building furniture and aiding building houses.  By the time of the Great Depression, he was working smaller...

Ep 73: Parody Movies, Tv Shows, & Anime Review

September 30, 2020 00:35 - 1 hour - 81.3 MB

Topic: Parody Movies, Tv Shows, & Anime   This week, we're reminiscing and remembering plenty of strange and fun Parody shows.  The Idea hit me that we're probably all running out of shows and movies to watch, so why not stuff that makes fun of other stuff, and what's more nerdy than parody and satire?   Definition of a Parody, Spoof, Homage, or Satire: A work that is created to Imitate, Make fun of, and/or comment on an original work.  This is often done via satirical or ironic imitati...

Topic: Pokemon Tutorial   Today, we're starting the long haul of going through Pokémon.  We're going to discuss mostly the games today and the world of Pokémon, because if we went through the myriad of spinoffs, this would become an even longer episode.  We go over the basics, and try to discuss some of what Pokémon represents as a whole.     History Created by Satoshi Tajiri, the game initially started based off his love of collecting insects as a child.  As the home he lived in start...

August 26, 2020 01:51 - 1 hour - 67.7 MB

Topic: Virtual Reality Review   This week, we took mom in to VR and the many trial and tribulations associated with being in a different WORLD!  Mom was very vocal during the event, and like all good people who look incredibly silly during VR, I decided to respect her dignity and not record it.  Maybe in the future, but it would have been wrong to do so otherwise.  Come listen to what we experienced.     Games Played:   Steam VR Home   Google Earth VR   Steam VR: The Lab   Spide...

August 18, 2020 10:12 - 1 hour - 71 MB

Topic: Virtual Reality Tutorial   This week, we're looking in to Virtual Reality, the concept of going to other created worlds and living in them, either full time or temporarily.  It's also an excuse to put my mom in my HTC Vive next week and have her experience VR as well.  Being the total dare-devil she is, I'm curious as to what she'll think about it.   What is it? The idea of Virtual Reality has meant a different reality that has been created in some way.  The term Virtual itself w...

Ep 68: Minecraft Review

August 09, 2020 15:00 - 55 minutes - 85.5 MB

Topic: Minecraft Review   Mom and I deep dived in to our experiences with Minecraft this week.  We come together to figure out what happened during it.  This episode does appear to be a bit shorter than before, but I still think it’s a good episode in the end.   Initial Impressions?   What did we like, or find ourselves, doing?   Complexity?   The Niece/Granddaughter Effect/Experience?   Minecraft VR   As I have a HTC Vibe VR set back at home, I decided to try and give Minecraf...

Ep 67: Minecraft Tutorial

August 02, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 60.9 MB

Topic: Minecraft Tutorial   While not as rich a narrative as Sonic, and not as engrossing number of titles as Mario, the undisputed champion of best selling game of all time is currently a game with pixilated boxes and simple, sandbox game play.  A game so simple, my nieces of 6 and 8 play it regularly.  So we need to figure this out, it’s time for Minecraft.    Apologizes that some of the audio was corrupted toward the end of the episode.

Ep 66: Sonic the Hedgehog Review

July 26, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 59.1 MB

Topic: Sonic the Hedgehog Review   Mom and I return from our adventures both watching and playing Sonic the Hedgehog.  It's also about time we talk about the strange and weird world of Sonic's fandom, which is probably similar to that of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, though perhaps a bit more toxic.     Sonic Mania       Sonic Movie When the initial trailer came out for Sonic the Hedgehog, it was a much different thing than what we were expecting.  Due to the fan/internet ba...

Ep 65:Sonic the Hedgehog Tutorial

July 21, 2020 00:07 - 1 hour - 86.8 MB

Topic: Sonic The Hedgehog Tutorial   This week, we’re discussing the fastest thing alive, or atleast as he was billed in Video Games.  Sonic has had an interesting lifespan, a popular and celebrity status in the 90s, he’s since fallen on to hard times in the transition to 3D and come to 2000s, he’s tried to reinvent himself dozens of time with little success.  But he maybe, arguably, more popular than Mario in some online outlets and circles.  So first, let’s discuss the blue blur and wher...

Ep: 64 Doctor Who Review

July 12, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 55.7 MB

Topic: Dr Who Review   It's been a week or so, and we watched quite a bit of Doctor Who.  Mostly because there's a lot, but we wound up with similar conclusions.  What I've enjoyed about Doctor Who has really been the sense of trying new stuff frequently and often, never staying formulaic, and certain charm of following along characters and seeing what they'll get in to.  We got see all five of the modern incarnations of the Doctor, some episodes explain more than others, but it was a good...

Ep 63: Doctor Who Tutorial

July 05, 2020 15:00 - 1 hour - 49.6 MB

Topic: Doctor Who Tutorial   This week, we discuss the strangest Doctor you’ve ever met.  The series is a long running British TV show, practically a staple of any nerd convention, and with the start of a new era in 2005, a modern fixture of Nerds everywhere.  His name doesn't matter, he's simply the 'Doctor' and for our first British Tv Show, we couldn't have picked a greater show.  Come fine out about Doctor Who!     What Doctor Who is a British Science Fiction TV series about a fict...

Topic: Anime for Kids Review We're back again this week to talk about some of the anime we watched with my Sister in Law and mother of my two nieces who are only fledglings into anime. We watched some, but not all of the anime, as children do from time to time. But we talked about some of our shared experiences as well, and found that we’re not too different at all, just that some of us spent a lot more time watching cartoons and the other didn’t have children. Sailor Moon Crystal (Hulu) ...

May 30, 2020 06:19 - 1 hour - 71.8 MB

Topic: Animal Crossing   Like alot of people right now, we've seemed to amass a great bit of time on our hands.  Those fortunate to still be working maybe not, but alot of us have been stuck at home and have been really wanting to find something new to do.  Thus, we offer this topic on Animal Crossing, specifically Animal Crossing: New Horizons, a new game perfect for people who don't necessarily like video games, but also a game perfect for people to relax with.     Nintendo Switch Af...

Ep 58: Anime for Kids Tutorial

May 22, 2020 19:43 - 1 hour - 65.1 MB

Topic: Anime for Kids   Today, I traveled a very FAR distance to come and visit my Sister-in-Law and discuss Anime with her.  Previously, I showed my nieces 'My Neighbor Totoro', which they loved.  Which sucked for me, because this was AFTER me and mom got back from Japan, where we saw Lots of Totoro just hanging out.  Had I show the girls this before we went, we could have gotten some killer stuff with them in it.  That being said, there's quite a bit of children appropriate Anime out the...

Ep 57: Video Games and Money

May 11, 2020 18:37 - 1 hour - 69.6 MB

Topic: Video Games and How to Make Money   As a follow up to last week's discussion, Mom wondered how people make money in video games, and being the clever nerd that has actually spent along time in the meta narrative on Video Game creation and process, I came back with some information to offer.   What does it cost to make a Video Game?   This namely depends on the complexity of the game.  A game with Side Scrolling or 2D graphics will usually cost less than a game with 3D graphics. ...

Ep 56: Super Mario Bros Review

May 02, 2020 16:07 - 1 hour - 58.6 MB

Topic:  Super Mario Bros Review + Speed Running + Twitch/Streaming So this week, we had some homework that would have been difficult for some to accomplish if you didn't already have any of the included games.  I'll be linking videos for those who couldn't play the games, but this week, thanks to some help, Mom actually played them.  And while she had difficulties playing Super Mario Bros. 1 with out any help, even she admitted she'd get it eventually given enough time.    Home Work: Sup...

Ep 55: Super Mario Bros Tutorial

April 22, 2020 16:28 - 1 hour - 58.7 MB

Topic: Super Mario Bros Tutorial   To get us off the rather serious, or rather, semi-serious topic of last week, I felt it was wise to move on to something completely different.  With a lot of people stuck inside as of late, I felt that we should consider video games as an avenue of discussion.  Since a great majority of Nerds love video games, we'll start off simple, and with the most recognizable character in Video Games.  So we're discussing and starting our topic on Super Mario Bros. a...

Ep 54: Zombie Review

April 14, 2020 00:10 - 1 hour - 45.9 MB

Topic: Zombie Review We're back once again, talking about Zombies at point in which it feel all too familiar.  Both myself and Mom felt a bit uneasy watching the movies this last week, but it's a good reminder of what we're dealing with and what're facing right now.  Interesting conversations to be sure.
