October 16, 2014 17:47 - 46 MB

Holy crap, we're finally doing it. That's right folks, podcast 200 is here. We actually made it. Rather than keep pushing it back, we decide to just put out another podcast and move on. Yep, just like when you're old and don't care about your birthday. A special thanks to everyone that listens, and especially those that have been there since the beginning. Its crazy that some of you have stuck around for 200 episodes and we're humbled just a bit more every time we throw another show on the pile.

Nerdblurb-191

March 17, 2014 17:47 - 46 MB

Holy crap, 2 podcasts in two weeks. This week's episode is a little shorter, but still a solid helping of the 'Blurb. This week we decided to hang out in LA and talk about Tesla, Titanfall and marriage...wait what? Hey, if you're reading this, let us know how it sounded. We'd like to record out and about more often, but if it sounds like crap, then we'll have to work something else out.

Nerdblurb-190

March 11, 2014 17:47 - 46 MB

We're back. Yes, the tweets were true, we've managed to record our first show in almost a year and here it is. We're a little rusty, and we definitely ramble at times, but we're alive and it was good to be recording again. Who knows how many shows we have left, but for those of you reading this now, thank you for hanging in there and not unsubscribing. Like we've always said, unless we posted a farewell note on the site, the 'Blurb isn't dead, its just on hiatus.

March 12, 2013 17:47 - 46 MB

Sooo, this podcast is pretty old since it was actually recorded last month on the 20th. However, since then, I've gone on vacation and we've already recorded 189. Since it's been a while, I'm not exactly sure what's on the podcast. However, I know we talk about videogames and specifically the PS4 at length. Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine, but I'm just getting this up there so when I post 189 later this week, some of the stuff we talk about in there will make sense.

Hey guys, sorry we're late but here we are with podcast 185. This week we decided to record at Arclight in Hollywood, but it didn't turn out like we expected.

October 10, 2012 17:47 - 46 MB

Soooooooo...how was your summer vacation? As you have probably noticed, we took quite a long break. However, summer is over so that means back to podcasting. Since this is actually our second attempt at recording this podcast, its quite a bit different than we originally envisioned. Instead of being a catch-up podcast where we talk about our summer, we decided to go drinking at CityWalk in Universal City and record an impromptu show instead.

May 16, 2012 17:47 - 46 MB

Holy crap guys, OK this time, it's all on Edgar. This podcast was actually recorded like a month ago, but Edgar wanted to time it with a video. Well, we know how that turned out. So here's the truth, I have noooo idea what we covered this episode because it was seriously recorded a month ago and we didn't take notes. However, I'm also going to post 178 soon since I have that file too, so I'm going to let 177 simmer for a bit on the RSS by itself. Enjoy.
