Geoff and David dust off their old show the Reel Reporters once again to talk about the new Fallout TV series. There's a lot of spoilers, so if you haven't watched the show yet--tune away. So grab your Nuka-Cola and strap on your Pip-boy, we're heading out into the very vivid and fun wasteland that is one of the few video game adaptations that doesn't suck. Does this mean Reel Reporters is back? Maybe. If we find something else we like...

I...Have no more words after what happened in this episode.

We did one of those fashionable 2023 Year in Review podcasts (but you know, actually AFTER 2023 ended, because doing these in November is just plain RUDE to the last two months of the year) with a slight peek into 2024. We're back after a hiatus (!) and no promises on when the next episode will come out but another one...soon?

Three weeks have been passed and this was stuck on Geoff's Desktop cuz he's lazzyyyyyyyyy Enjoy

WE ARE BACK! The guys talk WWDC and Summer Game fest 2023! Does anyone really care about a $3K headset? Let us know!

BUT THE MONEY, DUTCH! Enjoy our deep dive into Red Dead Redemption 2 and how it's now Jim's favorite game of all time.

We talk about sports in games, Jim does a new intro, and we delve into how ChatGPT writes the latest Sounds of the Void article.

The episode devolves into old men talking about appliances, we get the dementia and resurface topics again, and Jim does a hot take ranking of Kevin Smith films. It's RANT ON

Thirty years later, Todd and Jim finally admit Geoff is right: Red Dead Redemption II is amazing. Nick joins halfway through to say his piece; Geoff confuses actors, and all the topics we thought we needed are get thrown out the door. RANT ON, baby!

Its that time of year! Geoff and Jim bring you more stories to un nerve you for weeks.
