Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 32 For some reason being a content creator today can be a tricky business. Because no matter what you do, somehow it could be deemed controversial or offensive to someone. At the same time, free speech is becomin less and less so. To discuss these topics we bring in backup from down under, in the form of FairDinkum Dave, whom we invite at taking a whack at some of the fine breeds in the dead horse stable. Expect edgy and offensive humor as we throw ourselves on...

Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 31 We are nerds (if that wasn't clear already) and since we are masters of creation, we will be discussing our own creations. Both of us have game projects, one is a superhero game and the other is a bit more complex with merging of different "punk" genres related in some way to steampunk. Other than the main topic we cover some smaller happenings like the critic against the Sonic movie design and the rumor of tumbler being bought by Pornhub. What are your thou...

We cover topics like initial reactions to Avengers: Endgame, why we have a problem with the name "Bögenhafen" in Warhammer and difficulty levels in games.

The title may be all in jest but it carries with it a serious nature. Because we don't know what will fall under the ban hammer of the content filters, we might have to brace ourselves for the worst. We have a discussion and share our thoughts on the matter. We also have a small history lesson, talking about the last farmers upris...

The battle of the platforms has begun as Steam now have a real competitor. But what does that mean for the gamers?

Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 24 Demons have for a long time been a source of horror and pain for people. Still to this day, demons are still commonplace in our language, expressions and culture. Even if we today have a more sensible way of looking at the demon, the idea of a malicious supernatural being is just as strong as ever. We see this in pop culture such as games, movies, comics and TV. Therefor we are going to have a long talk about the subject, with a bit of history and where we f...

Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 23 At this point we are just tired of everything to do with Captain Marvel. But the movie has finally come out and the proverbial do-do seems to still cascade into the fan, so a final rant is a must. What is the reactions to the movie? A whole lot of "meh" it would seems. What might it mean for the whole MCU? The future looks bleak to be honest. Not to mention how Rotten Tomatoes has been caught fudging numbers for Captain Marvel and Disney. Expect no mercy. Th...

Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 22 There is a great divide within what we might call nerdom. Today, it's more politics than story in mediums like movies, comics and games. Being a fan is no longer just appreciating entertainment, it's equally or even more taking a stance for politics and ideology according to certain people. Now we see the consequences of the progressive infection, how you no longer can have entertainment without a ideological whip cracking somewhere and if you oppose it, you...

Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 21 Alita: Battle Angel is, so far, the best movie adaptation of a manga out there. The movie is great and I will talk about why I think that is. I'll also have a small review on the CelesSteel comic, an indie game and comics project that wants to bring back the feel of 80's cartoons. Lastly, I'll have a rant about rotten tomatoes and critics.

Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 20 No monster is more renowned than the vampire. From the epic of Gilgamesh in ancient Mesopotamia to modern pop culture interpretations, what we know of as vampire seems to have always been part of human society. But without doubt, the most iconic representation of the horrid bloodsucker today is that of Dracula (1897), created by Abraham "Bram" Stoker in his novel with the same name. More recently though, Dracula has become synonymous with the game series Cas...

Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 19 So EA got to keep their exclusive rights for making Star Wars games, a sad day for SW-game enthusiasts. Right now we can only wait and see if (when) Jedi: Fallen Order will either be canceled or remade into some horrid abomination full of microtransactions. Then we have Brie Larson saying her role as Carol Danvers, a.k.a. Captain Marvel, will be her (Larson's) way of activism, potentially damning the whole of MCU with it. This and more in our episode 19! Giv...

Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 18 Ever since George A. Romero's Night of the Living Dead , the Zombie has had a special place in modern populture. It has found it's place in all forms of media from games to TV and everything in between. But has the abundance of the walking dead made it less of a horror and more of a nuisance? We have a discussion about the Zombie, both the imaginary we all know and the potentially real form when people lose their minds. Give it a listen and tell us what you ...

Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 15 We have a special interest in storytelling and world building. So we thought it could be an interesting subject to bring to the podcast. But it's a big and very broad subject. Because of that we start off just speaking broadly about it, taking examples from Star Wars, Harry Potter and role-playing games.

We take a dive into the history and concept of the siblings and go on a long rant on the subject because we love characters that are round and have depth. Flat, boring and self-aggrandizing characters are shit-tier trash. We list both good and bad examples of primarily female characters, because this is an issue in contemporary nerdom. This i...

Dead Red Herring Podcast - Episode 12 We make a shotgun episode, meaning it's all over the place. To highlight some points, we take a look at some trailers like the new Captain Marvel trailer. There's some discussion on gaming news, among others that the new Dragon Age will be woke and that it probably will kill Bioware and a Ubisoft employee wanted to END PewDiePie. We say a few words about Youtube Rewind 2018 too. Magnus also bends over in spandex. https://www.oneangrygamer.net/2018/12/pennsyl...

But is there a future for the once so beloved franchise or has the Disney era crashed it just as hard as a TIE-fighter against an asteroid? Youtuber Thor Skywalker made a video wherein he asked the question, "What would you do with the sequel trilogy from a business side of things?". Well, we decided that we wanted to do a deep dive into that question and the overall question of t...
