Attack of the Nerds. The nerds are attacking. You’ll notice the lack of exclamation points in the previous sentence. The nerds are mostly threatening to computers, which if you thing about it, is kind of scary. Have fun thinking about the end of your digital life. Attack of the Nerds What have the Distracted Gamers been up to in the few days since you last heard from them? Gaming, watching TV and movies, reading about gaming and TV and movies. You know the usual. There were other things, like work, but don’t we all wish life was just enjoyment? We all would like to do something we love and get paid for it don’t we? The Distracted Gamers are just trying to move into that realm.

You will love this podcast. I mean what isn’t there to love? The hosts are mostly bland, the topics are fairly non-controversial, and the whole thing is unprofessional. It’s a triple threat. We are continuing the trend we started a short time ago. This episode delves into the lives of our highly entertaining and magnetic hosts. What have they been playing? What movies have they been watching? These and more burning questions will be answered in this podcast.

You know you need it when you take your life into your hands going out on the internet unprotected. Listener Email Chance has provided us with another well-crafted email, designed to warn you of the vagaries of life on the information superhighway. You can read the full text of the email for yourself as listening to it only provides you will the merest hint of the wit and humor behind the sender. This Podcast Will Save Your Life I know that I need to make notes before I put together these posts. Jason was playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution and reading Indiana Jones and the White Witch. He was also watching some John Oliver. Specifically, he was watching the whiny episode about Trump and how 2016 is the worst year ever. Bunch of babies. Rhett has been playing 7 Days to Die and watching Justified. He’s also watched The Walking Dead, but that is another discussion entirely.

Zelda Delayed Again?! You heard it. Zelda has been delayed yet again. What is the world coming too when we can’t get a video game on the promised release date? We need to storm the Nintendo’s website and leave a strongly worded comment about our displeasure. Then we need to go to Amazon. Find the pre-order page and down vote the new game because that will show them how mad we are. Then Nintendo will rectify the situation. Newsdump This week has been a better news week than we have experienced recently. Enjoy. * Fullmetal Alchemist * Ghost in the Shell Trailer * Steve Carell in Talks to Star in ‘Minecraft’ Movie * Conan Obrien doesn’t like FFXV * FIFA hackers guilty of mining $16 million from EA * Persona 5 Delayed * Zelda Delayed Again * Fake News War * Some games run slower on PS Pro than PS4, says report * NES Classic Edition * No Man’s Sky * Pokémon Pirates * Nintendo Switch Price? Video Games This week was also much less disappointing in the realm of video games. We had more that was interesting this week than previous weeks. * November 15 * Watch Dogs 2 – Xbox One, PS4, PC * Road Rage – PC, PS4, Xbox One * Mekazoo – PC * Lantern – PC * Neptune Flux – PC * ENIGMA – PC * Way of the Red – PC * November 17 * Planet Coaster – PC * href="http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/ohayou-beginners-japanese-wii-u">Ohayou!

You Won’t Believe Our Reaction. We didn’t believe it ourselves that was how unbelievable it was. Though you should see it for yourselves. Don’t just take my word for it. I could be saying anything at this point, but the only way you can know for sure is to experience it yourself. Email We have another email from Chance. He has quite a bit to say on the topics of last time. The last time we talked about the election results. You don’t have to imagine Chance’s reaction. Read it yourself. The Topics Once again the hosts of the DG Podcast shoot the breeze. Though what it did to deserve that I’m too afraid to ask. I mean if they shot the breeze who knows what might set them off. Plus, their from one of those conservative gun states and I’ve heard that they are video game tolerant. If you want more information you’ll have to ask them about it yourself. I’m keeping out of it. Videos If you really want the videos I think you can get to them via twitch. That is if you can’t wait until the videos get fixed and uploaded to YouTube.

I do know, however, that we talked quite a bit about zombies. Rhett has been watching the Walking Dead and has felt the need to suspend disbelief a little more than is necessary to enjoy the show.

Nintendo Switch Will Change the World. Have you seen this thing. It looks awesome. There is a ton of potential behind this system to be the next WII. I already want one and there are some serious issues Nintendo has to resolve before I really jump on the bandwagon. Fan Email I am getting closer to catching up with my backlog, and you know what that means? Fan emails. We do get them occasionally and I like to post them so that you can catch us twisting their words to suit our purposes. Nintendo Switch Will Change the World Nintendo is hyping there next console, the Switch. Which is very descriptive of its capabilities. The Switch has the capabilities of a console, a tablet, a portable gaming console, and more. It really looks amazing. There are some questions that Nintendo has to answer before we get really stoked. Questions like, storage capacity, battery life, heat dissipation, are the games strictly digital now? Without any confirmation, the battery life is rumored to be about 3 hours. That’s way unimpressive for a tablet. Also, with heat being such an issue for electronics, how are you planning to cool this? Passive heat dissipation may not be the most desirable option, but the size just doesn’t lend itself well to active cooling. Active cooling could come with its own problems, noise being the top of the list. We got through the episode with only a small amount of difficulty this week. You only get two videos though.

Batman Versus Skylanders. Batman has found himself in the Skylander universe and due to an unfortunate mix-up has made enemies of the entire universe. Are we really surprised? Batman has the incredible power to tick people off. Jason and Rhett are busy doing things like reading comics, playing video games, watching movies, you know the normal things.

It’s A Podcast. I know it comes a surprise to you all that this is definitely a podcast. I know that we have been a bit ambiguous in what it is we are doing here. We haven’t deliberately kept you in the dark, but we are going to try to be more transparent in the future. Fan Email We are getting closer to the latest episode and that means that I will be able to get back to posting the emails that we don’t receive. I’m just joking. We really like the emails honest. It’s A Podcast Not sure which news stories go with the podcast this week. There’s quite a bit of news to get all nerd ragey over. It is rather funny. When I was in school we would worry about getting the big guy in the class angry. He was bigger and stronger than everyone else. You didn’t want to get on his bad side. Now, it is the nerd rage that everyone is afraid of. Two videos this week. We keep hoping that the internet issues are going to go away, but they keep coming back.

Ace Banana is Really a Game? That’s right Ace Banana. That was not a typo in the game title. I wish it was. Do we really need a video game about banana’s? I think someone has been wasting our time. I’m sure that Jason and Rhett have been living up to their status of geek deities. You can bet that video games, comics, movies, television, and everything else was involved. You probably just thought that Ragnarok had come early. Ace Banana is Really a Game? We have a treat this week.

Crazy Trick to End Reptile Dysfunction. Don’t you hate it whne you are expecting your reptile to be there for you through thick and thin and you turn around and bam reptile dysfunction. This one crazy trick will put an end to that. Fan Email Another post down and another post closer to returning to your regularly scheduled podcast and fan email posts. We’re getting there people, one post at a time. I know we can do it. Crazy Trick to End Reptile Dysfunction I can’t tell you how much this issue has cost our country. There have been PSAs, fundraisers, awareness campaigns, and more and where has it gotten us? It has cost us literally tens of pennies and all we needed was one little fix the entire time. Again, no video. Not sure what happened to it. There may have been a video, then again maybe not. There will be one for the next post.

This Podcast Will Leave You Speechless. The effect probably won’t last. The lab tests have shown that the effect are only temporary and they only last for a fraction of a second. And the one guy in a coma is just a statistical anomaly. Statistics show that he was due for a coma anyway. Fan Email Getting closer to the magic number of the present episode. The close I get the closer we get to returning to posting listener emails. So, bear with me, we are almost there. This Podcast Will Leave You Speechless Can you believe the titles that we give our podcasts now days. It seems like all the titles on YouTube are about click bait and have nothing to do with what is actually in the videos. Even those Slo Mo Guys are doing it with views of exploding fruit, paint, bugs…what do you mean they really do that stuff? You have got to be kidding. Well, my point still stands. No video this week. I’m not entirely sure what happened to it, but it was probably Jason’s fault and had something to do with the internet going down.

XCOM is Unloved. Let face it. We all hate XCOM. He comes to the party trying to be all mysterious and aloof. We all know that he really comes because he’s too cheap to by his own party snacks. And the whole mysterious act, we get it you work for the government. It’s not like you’re a spy or something. Jason and Rhett have once again pushed the boundaries of geekdom. In their quest to become the alpha geek, they have played video games, watched television and movies, read books, and sneered at sports. XCOM is Unloved* XCOM gets no love from the DG Podcast. It isn’t like that game is deep or entertaining or anything. You probably think that we are being unfair, but since when are geeks concerned with aliens and the shadowy government agencies bent on stopping their depredations? Our alien overlords are making us say that. * – XCOM is a game that we can really get behind. Killing aliens advanced weapons, perma-death. What’s not to love. We had 4 internet interruptions this week, so you get 4 videos. Don’t you feel lucky?

YouTube is Snitching is the big news of the day. We thought you were on our side YouTube. In the past you let us stick it to the man and the relationship worked. Little did we know that you were just biding your time, gathering evidence so that you could stab us in the back. Fan Email I promise to return to the regularly scheduled emails as soon as I get caught up. Once I get caught up though, I will probably lag behind again. Have I let you down before? YouTube is Snitching There is a new sheriff in town and he goes by the name of YouTube. No more will we be allowed to roam the wild wastes of the internet doing what we please and posting the videos. Now YouTube, that once lovable rascal, has joined the man. He was probably a plant the whole time, waiting for us to give him the goods. We finally did it. A whole podcast without interruption.
