Ankle Pickers, Episode 3 – What We Want in ‘Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite’

“Ankle Pickers”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand, Sergio Garza, and Bill Miller

It’s been a few weeks since PlayStation Experience when Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite was announced, but we decided we had to say something about it! Bill wasn’t able to join us, so this time a very excited Sergio and Nate talk about what features and characters they’d like to see in this next entry in the “Vs.” series.

What about you? What/who do you want in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite?

Ankle Pickers, Episode 2: DLC Debacles

“Ankle Pickers”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand, Sergio Garza, and Bill Miller

In this episode, we discuss the often obnoxious DLC practices that plague modern gaming, and in several fighting games in particular. While Nathan tries to defend some, Bill and Sergio have choice words for those games.

What are your thoughts on how some developers are handling their DLC?

Ankle Pickers, Episode 1: Fighting Game Nostalgia

“Ankle Pickers”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand, Sergio Garza, and Bill Miller

Yes, I’m starting *another* YouTube show. This one will features three outspoken fans talking about fighting games. In this case, it’s me and my buddies Sergio and Bill.

In this somewhat scatterbrained episode, we talk about the nostalgia we have for fighting games and arcades. You’ll hear about some weird, obscure games you may have not heard of.

How did you get started with fighting games?

But I Digress…, Episode 39: Interviews with ‘Missing Pieces’ 2016 Authors

“But I Digress…”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand

Two episodes in one week? What madness is this?!

Anyway, my annual Gen-Con video is an actual, episode of my regular show. I interviewed many of the authors who contributed to the “Missing Pieces” anthology, which is a collection of short stories by authors who sell books at Authors Avenue at Gen-Con.

You can buy the anthology at www.DragonRoots.net or on Amazon.

Digression 13: Valentine’s Day Karaoke 2016 – ‘Gotta Be Somebody’ by Nickleback

Digression 13: Valentine’s Day Karaoke 2016
Performed by Nathan Marchand
I had to pick between two songs for this year’s Valentine’s Day karaoke. After much back-and-forth, I chose “Gotta Be Somebody,” one of the few Nickleback songs I like. Since I remain single on this narrowly romantic holiday, I continue to choose songs that hope for a love yet to be found. Be encouraged, fellow singles!
This is also video evidence that I might be tone deaf. Or a bad singer. Both? (Maybe I should stop recording these while wearing headphones).

But I Digress…, Episode 30 – My Review of ‘Terminator: Genisys’

“But I Digress…”
Hosted by Nathan Marchand
After another long, unintended hiatus, I return with a summer movie review–one that left me with the most nerd rage I’ve had in a long time! The “Terminator” franchise, which includes some of my favorite films, has been “rebooted” stupidly. So much so, my old friend the T-800 returns to protect me from the new movie!
My text review of the movie for GIGA Geek Magazine.

The Lost Digression: King of the Nerds Audition

Back in 2013, a friend told me that the show King of the Nerds was accepting video auditions for the second season, so he suggested I enter. I put together what I thought was a great video, but when I tried to post it, I learned I’d missed the submission deadline. So, this video has been stashed away on my hard drive since then and only recently did I remember it. I decided I’d post it just for the heck of it. Enjoy!

What’d you think? Could I have gotten on the show?

Digression 11: My Tribute to Leonard Nimoy

I reflect on how much impact the legendary Leonard Nimoy has had on my life. He was an amazing man and will be greatly missed by the geek community.

I’ll never be able to watch Spock’s death and funeral from “Star Trek II: The Wrath of the Khan” the same way ever again.
