STOP BEING MEAN: Of the many "-Gates" that exist in the nerd world right now, some ticks in the "good" column happened recently in the fight called "ComicsGate", an online harrassment campaign against diversity and representation in both the fiction and creation of mainstream comic books (meaning, mainly, books made by DC and Marvel).

Shortcast 67 - Baguettevania

WEEK IN GEEK: It's an indie game kind of week as Andrew reports on the Zelda-like shop sim, Moonlighter, by Digital Sun while D. Bethel starts a conversation about everybody's current favorite rogue-like platformer (kind of a Metroidvania, kind of not; definitely not a "roguevania"), Dead Cells, by Motion Twin.

RELATED EPISODES:

  • Episode 27 - Super Sleep Mode: Where Andrew first discussed Rogue Legacy.
  • Episode 53 - With Space Hands, Episode 54 - Noun the Adjective, and Shortcast 10 - Roll for Dark Meat: Chronicling D. Bethel's time with Rogue Legacy.
  • Shortcast 62 - Not the Episode Title: Where D. Bethel discusses his first impressions of Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon, another game pulling influence from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (though it's actually much more a pastiche on Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse).

Episode 156 - River City Rampage

It's the return of NERD LAW!

A MARVELOUS MONSTER: After a long gestation and some delays, Disney has officially acquired 20th Century Fox assets, comprising of Fox's film and tv properties. This means everything from the Alien franchise to Bob's Burgers and even The Simpsons are now owned by Disney. Of course, for comic book fans and fans of comic book movies, the biggest part of this deal means that the X-Men and the Fantastic Four film rights are now under Disney/Marvel control. But it's a much bigger––and more complicated––deal than just the superhero franchises and make some people a little nervous.

WHAT NINTENDON'T: Emulation software has been on the internet for at least twenty years at this point, allowing people to download and play often near-perfect versions of games from the NES, SNES, and many other classic consoles. While playing emulated games have always been legally murky, Nintendo's big legal smackdown of a few emulator and ROM sites in particular have really shaken the whole community in more ways than one.

RELATED EPISODES:

  • Episode 80 - Alien Control Party: Where D. and Andrew discuss the attempts made to archive video games.
  • Shortcast 48 - My Smokey Timbre: Where Andrew and D. more recently discuss not only archiving works but revisions and re-releases of them.
  • Episode 155 - Captain Host: Where Andrew and D. talk about there being too many blockbuster movies during the Summer 2018 season.

Shortcast 65 - Find a Cheap Show

GOING BACK: Having played Uncharted: The Lost Legacy, D. Bethel has since gone back and played the first game in the Uncharted series and was rather frustrated by it. This experience got our hosts thinking about entering series (of games, movies, tv shows, etc.) mid-stream––what's the value of going back to the start?

RELATED EPISODES:

  • Episode 69 - Two Matching Ties: Where Andrew first talked about playing Uncharted.
