POKéMON SNAP IS BACK, BABY!! Zak and Andy never actually dared to dream that their wish would come true, but one year after the release of out 8-episode mini-series celebrating Pokémon Snap, Nintendo went and announced a follow-up, finally, after 21 long years. The guys dissect New Pokémon Snap's reveal trailer, take credit for several ideas they'd previously pitched that are now being used, and generally just geek out about this wonderful announcement.

What's up, Pals??? Last week, Sony graced us with amazing reveals and teasers for the PlayStation 5. Andy and Chris hop back into the studio to breakdown the livestream and our most anticipated & hyped reveals. Coincidentally, we also recorded this episode on the 7 year anniversary of The Last of Us so we do a deep dive on the series. Thanks for listening, and enjoy!

What's up, Pals?? Andy and Chris return to the studio after a long hiatus to catch up. What was supposed to happen was a dialogue about Animal Crossing and Final Fantasy VII Remake. What happened instead was us talking about Spider-Man movie pitches and theories for an hour, and cracking the case for a truly excellent Spiderman 3 soooooo.... rain check on those video game hot takes for next time! But - we got Andy's review of Resident Evil 3 Remake though - hell yes! Thanks for listening!

What's up, Pals!? Andy and Chris are sending out transmissions from Vault 172. To pass by the time, we experiment with a cool text-based adventure game called AI Dungeon.

What's up, Pals?!? This week, Andy and Chris hop back into the studio to dissect and analyze the new Death Note one shot that released earlier this February. Also, we desperately need to see Ryuk and the Shinigami King star in a bad 80s cop thriller. Ryuk is a loose cannon god of death that doesn't play by the rules! Enjoy!

This is it, Snap Faithful. The eighth and final episode of Wonderful! is here. Zak and Andy were delighted to be joined by none other than Stuart Zagnit - the original voice actor for Professor Oak in both the anime and in Pokémon Snap. They talk about how Stuart's involvement with the game differed from the anime, get into the bittersweet reasons behind his departure from voicing Oak in the anime, and even find out which Pokémon are his favorites. Special thanks to Jen Cappelli (@JeninRGB on Twitter) for creating the show's artwork, Allissoon Lockhart (@celtictampon on Instagram) for allowing the use of her cover of "Professor Oak's Lab" for our intro, and Michael Foxx (ambassadorfoxx on Bandcamp) for the use of his cover of "Course Selection" for our outro.

*tosses confetti and blows a noisemaker* Kingdom Hearts and Other Stuff is one year old!

In the penultimate episode of Wonderful!, Zak and Andy take a look at the constant upward trend of selfie and photo modes in video games over the last decade, and use that as a basis to explain why now is the perfect time for a Pokemon Snap sequel. Make sure to listen until the end, as we reveal our special plans for the finale!

Throughout Pokemon's 23-year history in the realm of video games, nearly every title released has received a sequel or spin-off of some sort. In episode 6 of Wonderful, Zak and Andy dissect some of those titles and speculate on why some of them received sequels while others (such as our beloved Pokemon Snap) were shunned.

An old friend from my hometown joins me on episode 24 of Kingdom Hearts and Other Stuff. He's been diving deep into retro video game collecting, and also working on creating an interactive 16-bit video game companion to his DnD and Pathfinder campaigns. It's really quite neat, and all of it goes down in his Fungeon (his Fun Dungeon, you see). KHAOS is a part of the Nerd Pals Network. All episodes can be found on the Super Nerd Pals RSS feed.

In episode 5 of Wonderful!, Zak and Andy put their own ideas for a sequel to the side for a bit to instead marvel at other fans' projects and ideas.

The boys have tossed out off-hand comments about things they'd like to see in a potential Pokémon Snap sequel, but episode 4 is where they really dig deep into their pitches and spitball ideas for the would-be follow-up. From new items and stages to selfies and leaderboards, they've got a whole lot to talk about.
