- Episode 11: Zac Efron Deserves to Get Peed On
This week is one of our best yet! We have special guest Max Roahrig of Flixist and the Flixist Show come on as we all discuss how terrible Rob Liefeld is, Valve’s awesome Source Filmmaker, the Half-Life 3 leaks, Ron gets mad at Nintendo and there’s a crapload of new Marvel film rumors. Bon apetit!
29 June 2012, 3:18 am - Episode 10: Nicole Kidman Watersports
Originally this episode was titled “God Dammit James Gunn” because James Gunn Tweets a stupid thing while we record this but how did I forget our glorious into? Nicole Kidman pees on dudes, James Gunn says stupid stuff, Ron really like Lollipop Chainsaw and E3 shit. Listen now my lovelies.
21 June 2012, 5:02 am - E3Cast 2012: Microsoft
Another E3 has come and gone. It was bit of a divisive one, some loved and a lot hated it but nonetheless it’s hard to say there was nothing this E3 you weren’t looking forward to. And as is tradition we held our usual community podcast where NWP and any willing participants dished during the press conferences.
Special thanks to @GuncannonD for stepping up in the final hour to host and record pretty much all of E3Cast. It couldn’t happen without him. And thank you to our wonderful guests @vApathyv, @Scion_of_Mogo, @welshedderz, @Ramsteinrig, @griffplar, @Aurvant and @Daxelman. If we forgot you we sincerely apologize! It’s 1:50 AM and we’re tired!
And keep an eye out on the NWP Twitter account as we have some special episodes coming up including a Prometheus spoilercast this week!
HELLA EDIT: So you live and learn, right? Hehe. In order to get these to show up separately in iTunes we had to make a post for each one. So we did! And they’re…there. Soooo….yeah.
11 June 2012, 7:03 am - Join Us for E3Cast!
You know what’s really freakin’ lame? Watching E3 conferences alone. You know what’s fucking awesome? Watching E3 conferences and Skyping with other nerds watching E3 conferences.
And here is where I tell everyone about E3Cast and how we do it here at NWP. While NWP is still in it’s infancy E3Cast is a three-year strong tradition where I, Xzyliac, host what is essentially a big ol’ Skype party for all the pre-E3 conferences. How it works is I’ll be on Skype and Twitter at the very least about an hour prior to the big shows (Monday where there are conferences all day I’ll probably just marathon it out and never leave Skype). I’ll send out a Tweet saying anyone who wants to join the Skype chat to hit me up, I add people tot he call and when the conferences begin I hit the big red record button and we just bullshit our way through. It’s a really fun way to catch first reactions of big announcements, impressions as we see new footage, hear observations and get some really awesome commentary. And it’s open to everyone, just Tweet at me your Skype username so I can add you into the call! And then sometime the week after E3 (or sometimes during) the calls from each show will start making themselves out onto the internet as a huge bundle of love from that years E3. It’s an awesome thing and it’s a really cool way to experience firsthand how the community experiences E3.
And the fun part is with NWP this year the E3Cast will be on iTunes which has never happened before!
So if you want to be a part of the festivities you’re welcome to follow either me (@Xzyliac) or NWP (@NWPodcast) and keep your schedule open for the respective times below.

29 May 2012, 5:54 pm - Episode 3: The Sliding Scale of Dick
Welcome one and all to the incredible audible circus we call the Nerds with a Podcast podcast! This episode we had a bit of a cast change as Ian was busy catching up on some well deserved rest. So friend (sort of) of the podcast Alex Jones came on to provide a bit of English snark as evidenced by the above picture.
This week we talked about DC Comics movies, Japanese stuff, Hunger Games’ sequel Catching Fire (some more), we agree with Christopher Nolan on stuff and more!
27 April 2012, 4:18 am - Episode 2: The Problems with Remakes
Getting better with every episode me thinks. In this episode we discuss the short list of considered directors for Catching Fire, Looper, the “dark” Sabrina reboot, Carrie and the problems with remakes, Dishonored, Kickstarter and the process of scoring a video game for review!
BUT WAIT, THERE’S MORE! If you follow Ian on Twitter, @stillgray, and send him a question for next weeks he might give you a beta key to the MMORPG Guild Wars 2. Get on that!
