First off, I’d like to apologize to Mister Wilson and Mega Ran for completely screwing up their appearance on the Nerdcast this week. Totally my bad on that one, but we’re hoping we can get them on next week!
Surprisingly enough, we were able to scrape together a pretty awesome episode. We’re also joined by a surprise guest Kayla (aka Sonic_Kendall)!
In this show:
– Chris talks about his trip to estarland with TheRequiem95 and shows off what he bought and brags about joining the staff at RETRO Magazine. He also gloats about buying SEGA Nomad for $20!
– Featured Discussion: What does SEGA need to do to be successful in 2014?
– What are we playing?
– Site Stuff

I didn’t FORCE Chris to get Stormlord!!!
If you want to know the real story of what happened, here it is:
I saw an unboxed, cartridge-only copy of Stormlord on the shelf at Estarland. I remembered the controversy surrounding the game in that the first run if the game had topless women in it. I thought it might be interesting to check out just for the novelty of it, so I picked it up and checked the price. It came out at about $12, which seemed a bit steep for an unboxed copy, especially considering that it might be the edited version which was released later, so I put it back on the shelf.
Chris saw me put the game back on the shelf and he said, “So what’s this Stormlord game all about?”
I said, “Oh. It’s a side-scrolling barbarian game. There was some controversy surrounding it because the first run of the game had topless women in it. It’s 12 bucks though, which is a bit much just for digital boobs.”
Chris: “Boobs?”
Me: “Yeah, maybe… if it’s actually the first run if the game.”
Chris: “….boobs….”
Me: “Whoa, really, Chris, I’m not promising anything.”
Chris: “….booooobs….”
And that’s how it went for the next 10-15 minutes. Chris just kept stroking the cartridge with his left hand and muttered “Boobs…” quietly to himself every 20 seconds or so. It was really weird. He only stopped when he discovered the Blinx: the Timesweeper games in the Xbox section. Afterward, he pretty much did the same thing with the Blinx cases in his hand except he kept repeating “Furry… So… Furry…”
Anyway, I was pretty uncomfortable but I didn’t say anything about it because he was my ride home. Next time we go, I think I am going to insist on driving. Just saying.
And that is the really-real, completely non-fabricated story of Chris’ courtship and love affair with Stormlord at Estarland. You all believe me, right?
Right? 😉
Haha. OK, I’ll admit, it actually did go pretty much just like that. You didn’t, however, warn me how piss hard Stormlord is!
I didn’t know it was so hard. The only thing I really knew about it was the whole “boobs” thing. Need to borrow a Game Genie? I’m sure I’ve got one around somewhere.
My younger brother had Stormlord. I can’t remember if it was the edited version or not. I just remember it was ridiculously hard.
Now that that’s out of the way, you’ve got to put Emmett The Crab in your game. I could be a mini-boss trying to make Graham finish playing Golden Axe Beast Rider. There are plenty of other pictures of me besides this avatar one. Check out how versatile I am in these photos!
Chris your blurb about the Author has a misprint in the URL for Airman Magazine, and it goes to a blog for “airmon” by people with a default wordpress theme.
Haha, thanks, Emmett. Yeah, I created a custom URL for Airman magazine and had it forward to the official URL. I ended up letting my custom URL expire a few months ago and forgot to change it.
In the meantime, if you’re ever in need of new flooring, definitely consider Airmon!
