Good tidings to you! So I've clocked around 100 hours of "Dragon Age; Inquisition" on the PS4, and that's coming at it with no background knowledge. Never played the previous games, read the books, know the memes, etc. Just jumping into a big 'ol fantasy world. I had a great time though and wanted to give my very poorly articulated history of the world, as well as some insights about my play-through. Possibly more of this game coming soon, I hear there's cheap DLC available. Hope everyone is kee...

We're living in an uncomfortable time. The global pandemic is only compounded by the fact that there's no movies/sports, an economic depression is looming, murder hornets are on the way and now we're on the brink of a race war. That's an exaggeration but it's still not great. I've been grappling with what's been transpiring as much as the next person, and in a series of recordings over the past week I've tried to make some sense of things. We're of course learning new things everyday and moving ...

Hey hey. So I can`'t even remember what``'s in this episode, it's been that kind of a month. Anyway, I'm back with another episode, for whatever that's worth! (?)

This is post time-skip, so to speak. Coming back to the game after a few month hiatus. Raising a human and working a job, but also starting my own business on the side has left a narrow margin of time for fun things. And somehow Fallout 4 has been getting a lot of it. I think content will be a little edgier moving forward, and maybe expect it every few weeks to start. I'll get faster I promise. Thanks for listening.

Like everyone else in the universe, I had an opinion on Joker. I liked it, listen to hear the specifics I guess. Cheers!

I can't remember when I made it, or even what it contains. Such is often the nature of this podcast so I'm rolling with it. Expect a few episodes to be published all at once soon, and then more to trickle in. Thanks for tuning in and your patience.

A good day to you all. This was another exploratory episode, where we all get the pleasure of listening to the wide-wide world outside. My mic picks up it all, so enjoy the ambiance of a gentle breeze, trees rustling and of course some cars. I took a bit of a siesta this time, and decided to make the most of some free time and record. I still happen to be foaming at the mouth about how good Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is, so this is the episode to talk about it. What a movie, what a cast, and ...

That's right, it was nerd Mecca last weekend, and as per usual that means we got teased with the upcoming docket of shows and movies. Just like with everything else, Disney was there to outdo everyone and unzip/flop out their schedule onto the table. I'd felt a bit of a different reaction than in previous years, mostly because I feel disinterested in a substantial majority of things coming out. Now, I'm not an asshole. Neither am I a bigot, fascist or anything else you can be called for disagree...

This is another wandering episode, so it looks like I happen to be "far from home". But yes, obviously I just saw the movie, and that's what's going on today guys. I'll cut right to it and say Spiderman was amazing, and super entertaining. The movies' lighthearted innocence of high-school life and romance is just as good as the superhero quest which surprised me. The same way Ant-Man and the Wasp had a tough act to follow, Far From Home takes place after the biggest movie in the MCU. They offer ...

Ahoy! I couldn't keep my swashes buckled, so we're going to go into another PotC episode. I was working on somethings in a state of baby-induced insomnia and thought I created a winner for the plot/theme of the next Pirates adventure. We're going to take it to another part of the world again, and explore a sea-faring culture that would mesh really well with the current world and lore. Oceans Apart sees the familiar crew return to grapple with new threats. After being cast around in a magic storm...

The film series, not the Chinese city. But both are great, shout-out to your thicc noods Shanghai (best noodles in all of China in this humble, non-Chinese guy's opinion). I started to record this episode with the hope that I was going to spin together a worthwhile fan-fiction on one of my absolute favorite comedies. But, as much as I did some Wikipedia show prep notes, in the end it got offtrack because of how much I like the series. It's easy to just get ranting. One day I'll post a link to th...

Dr. Seuss eat your heart out. It's podcast time guys, and today is half and half for nerd shit vs. real-life content. I was at a wedding, the official BM of the ceremony if you will. Having been married last year I can safely say attending a wedding is probably more fun than hosting one. Yes, not as special as your own wedding, and it's not for you, but daaamn I had very little to do at this wedding besides have fun. Whereas at my own wedding (and I'm sure at lots of yours) a lot of time was spe...

Welcome to the post-Thrones world. Season 8 has come to an end, and as literally anyone on the internet will tell you; it sucked. Combining the disappointments of tons of abandoned character arcs, complete departure from good writing and some stupid deaths, the show that captured the world's attention will conclude as anticlimactically as possible. You'll hear me rant enough in the podcast, but as per the title here's my theory; obviously we know Jaqen h'ghar can go anywhere and be anyone. So wh...

We've reached the end of the game. Welcome back everyone, and if it's not clear; there's going to spoilers galore today. You were warned. The Avengers brings to a conclusion the Infinity Saga, effectively the greatest and largest cinematic undertaking of all time. The action was thrilling and absolutely unforgettable. I would say literally "jaw dropping". The characters were all given a time to shine and growth to be demonstrated. Questions were finally answered and interconnections were strengt...

Oh you know what's going on this weekend. Unless you live under an Amish roof, you'll probably realize that Endgame is finally here. All that wait, buildup and suspense is finally going to be paid off. I get a bit sentimental thinking about how Infinity War made such an impression on me, it pushed me into finally making my podcast. And here we are now for the second part of the dream. Anyway, as you'll hear me rant on about, there's no need to treat this as a review, recommend or warn. "Go see i...

Hola. I'll keep it brief today, because this episode is a bit of a departure from the nerd hash I'm usually slinging. I've got about 2 weeks left before my wife is expecting to give birth to our son Arthur (very stoked). And it's also a little under a week before Endgame comes out. I'd say there's sufficient enough stuff going on that it was time to get real. So I'm sharing with ya'll some of my fears, hopes and feels that are coming with Fatherhood. The bar has been really low for me Dad-wise, ...

Nah, I'm April foolin'! Sorry for that deception (or was it click-bait?) but yes, it is April Fools today. I'm going to talk a little bit about how annoying this day makes people, but there'll be legitimate content in there too. Plus I guarantee you didn't know it was Susan Boyle's birthday! I'll even share from my own sordid past of botched (but well meant) pranks. At the 24:00 minute mark the podcasts talks about CinemaSins and the awesome content they put out. I'd post their links, but I'm pr...

Get ready for an ill episode.... I'll stop with the dad jokes now, but in case you missed the point, I'm not feeling too good. I don't usually get sick (one of "those people", I know) but after a brutal Winter, it's inevitable. Also doesn't help when your partner is sick, and you do literally everything together. No blaming though. I have a pretty bad cold, and I made the choice to come to work. I'm not that much of an ass, I'm ensuring minimal germ spread at every chance I get. Including record...

It's true! And by the way guys, enjoy the sweet sounds of nothing in this recording as I've moved out of the turbine, and into a space for the requested peace/quiet. So a very happy Friday to ya'll because this has just felt like the longest week, glad that's over. Just as I started the pod out with; happy St. Patrick's Day! Shout out to my Irish friend Patrick, whom I always think of on the day. This year the weekend will be less "painting the town red" and more painting the kitchen white. True...

Praise the Throne, it's podcast time! And throw on your Mechanicus robes because Alita 2 is going full Warhammer 40K. "Blood Angel" as in the Space Marine Chapter, though I'm just using it as a title pun since those guys blow. I obviously have the complete leaked script for Alita 2 (oh yes) and the story definitely confirms that it takes place on an Imperial non-complaint world out there in the expanse. Man, it sure would be something if any of that was true. Alita is adorable, but it's also the...

Greetings and salutations. Today's episode is about 3 or 4 things, but I thought that title had a nice ring to it. Through a patchwork of streaming, snap stories and reading micro articles afterwards, I managed to get a picture of the Oscars. Really nothing special this year, and after following up the next day breezing through as many articles as I could get my hands on, I'm even more convinced it was a remarkably unremarkable year. There's been the constant low-laying buzz around pretty much e...

Boof. That's my preferred dog noise, it rings like a St. Bernard vocalizing at you. Anyway, hello everyone. Thanks for coming back. Today we're doing a semi deep-dive into the world of Warhammer 40K. I could go on all day about this (and I have before) but Warhammer is sick. I love fantasy, 40K, Inquisimunda, Mordhiem, LoTR Tabletop, all that Games Workshop goodness. As you'll hear in the pod, I arrived at the Sons of Russ many editions ago, and I paint a picture of why they're great, the game's...

Oh hello there. Today is the first time you're going to hear someone that's not me in the podcast, so there you go. We're going to be tinkering with the Bubbies in Suits channel David and I produce, so we just had the usual WoW session and recorded it. As per usual let us know any comments, suggestions, etc. We're obviously still figuring out the technological scope of the channel, so if there's a preference for it to stay a podcast, versus become a YouTube style video channel we'd like to know....

Welcome, and if you didn't expect a Glass pun in the title then it's probably your first time here. Today's episode is (as they all are) a bit of everything, but I wanted to go into some detail on the two larger features. I went with my wife and some friends to a "Drag Queen Brunch", which is hosted by a very old and trendy Toronto bookstore and LGBT culture spot. The Glad Day Bookstore for any of those curious and Toronto-side. We heard it's a good time, and good food, so we went. Maaaan both o...

Greetings friends. It's been back and forth, up and down, but when the dust settled this week we got confirmation that Ben Affleck is stepping away from DC, and as Batman. I don't really care what anyone else thinks about this one, I salute the performance we got. We were lucky. He took inspiration from a ton of sources and blended them with taste. His Batman was terrifying, but not without fear. He was a calculated tactician, but also an aloof Bruce Wayne. We got vicious hand-to-hand combat uns...

I know, the name is dumb. But honestly one of the more satisfying parts of the movie was watching the Symbiote blobs be so viscous, gross and well, sticky. The whole thing kinda reminds me of those sticky hands that you get at a carnival or dollar store. You swing it at smooth surfaces, people, etc. Until one day it's darkened and covered in layers of dirt and fur, and then it's no use to anyone. That's all probably some kind of analogy for the movie. But look, I didn't hate the movie (sorry Dav...

Happy new year! Although chances are more people will catch this episode long after New Years Day, but whatever. Welcome back folks, today we're cutting through a few solid pieces of culture. I've got some games, some movies and some other stuff on the menu. I guess it's worth warning you of spoilers, but I always feel the kind of people listening to this have probably gotten caught up on the source material first anyway. Yes, there is a background noise. I'm sorry. I wanted to test filming in t...

This episode existed somewhere between a lengthy work marathon, an Aquaman showing and was 3 fueled by coffee and Reese's Pieces. Splish splash, it's Aquaman time. Which is the kind of catchphrase that kept him from getting cool all those years. I can't say how much of a relief it is for this movie to not have sucked. I mean, I loved it, but that was probably going to happen anyway. I'm just glad critically (and not just in China) it's being loved. Aquaman gives us the Geoff Johns New 52 run but...

*rooster noises* Good morning guys. Another early edition of the show, but thankfully later than 5AM. I've had a hankering for an old PS2 gem that I put hundreds of childhood days into, but I'm still trying to dig up the 'ol console to play it. I figured I'd cut you guys in on that, because the game is an all time favorite. As I mentioned, I was always more of a fan of the the Greek histories and philosophers (thanks Age of Mythology/Disney's Hercules) but I do love the "history porn" parts of t...

Okay I wasn't in the cold BECAUSE of Endgame, but that title sounded nice. Today I took things to nature to do another outdoor recording, so apologies for any noises/audio quality because of that. I can definitely see why relaxing in a park is more enjoyable in the breezy Summer weather than the frozen winds of Winter, but it's always nice to take a minute to sit down and enjoy the world around you. Cold as it is. Considering my last episode didn't actually contain any of my Avengers opinions in...
