Circle of Geekdom Podcast

Yeah I'm back doing this podcast thing again. I really wanted to dive into my thoughts and emotional reactions to the absolutely amazing Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest. Not gonna lie, things get real emotional here. Be sure to check out my twitch stream at twitch.tv/vanispheres_

Yup. This is the final episode of Vani Rants On... because I'm starting a new one with my buddy Raziel's Flame: Organization II! Thanks to everyone for listening and I hope you stay tuned for it!

E3 is now the Electronic Entertainment Experience....ugh. It's a freaking Expo guys.

In honor of Kingdom Hearts' 19th Anniversary, I sit down with my buddy Raziel's Flame to learn more about the lore, the terminology, and everything else about the beloved franchise. Be sure to check out Raz's content at: https://www.twitch.tv/razielsflame https://twitter.com/razielsflame

Did you know that Resident Evil is 25 years old and Kingdom Hearts is 19! Christ I'm old. Also GameStop is in more trouble.

I make an honest to God effort to talk about some sports games. Also apologies if there were audio cut outs. My headset is acting a bit funky some times.

This week I go over Capcom employees going back to the office, Animal Crossing's new partnership, and all of the press videos that have been popping up lately.

In honor of that plumber who stole our hearts with his weird AF premise and insanely fun gameplay, let's talk about why Mario has been a lasting part of the gaming world. Let's also do it while using a lot of profanity.

I played a lot of stuff this week and am really enjoying watching anime again. Also does anyone actually care about Avengers still?

I played a ton of the recently released Outriders demo and have some thoughts on it.

I'm joined by my good buddy Nerdy Jane to talk about her time with Fallout 76. It's good stuff. Be sure to check out her content at: https://www.twitch.tv/nerdyjane https://twitter.com/jane_nerdy https://www.instagram.com/nerdyjanettv/

Vani is back to talk about how he sucks at Valheim, is excited for Skyward Sword, and referring to himself in the 3rd person. Not sure why I'm doing that. I also talk about the new Twisted Metal TV show.

I'm kinda obsessed with Yakuza Like A Dragon btw. It's so good. Also let's talk about this week in gaming news, TV shows, Borderlands casting and more!

Who else is really really excited for the new Final Fantasy XIV expansion? It can't just be me. :)

Today I chat with my good buddy Tyler about being a DM while also testing his improv skills! Be sure to check out Tyler's social media at instagram.com/musicandfoodwizard twitter.com/gamemastahT

Be sure to check out Shaun's stuff at: Shaun Does Stuff – One man and his quest to do stuff (2) Shaun (@ShaunDoesStuff) / Twitter Let's talk about my old podcast Circle of Geekdom with one of it's members!

Vani is back to talk about Sia's movie, KOTOR news, what I'm playing, and Gamestop stock prices. Be sure to check out my patreon at patreon.com/vanispheres_ for the vidcast version and my twitch streams as well!

This is a bad idea right? Like...why am I doing this? What in the actual #$(* am I going to talk about here? Let's do a thought experiment and find out.

The gang (minus Dave) is back to talk about shitty tech, mobile gaming, and more.

Striker from the Discord Channel joins us as we talk about what I just said in the title. There's other stuff there but...you know.

The gang is back again to talk about where we get our gaming news from and probably some Final Fantasy stuff.

Let's call this a lost episode. We recorded it a month ago and haven't been able to get together to post a new one in a while. So you're guess is as good as mine as to what we talked about.

Sorry again, we recorded this last week and I seriously don't remember much. I know we talked about Final Fantasy XIV a bit because all the news came out for it. It's still pretty good.

Super late to the game on the podcasts but we're back with the gang talking about Apex Legends and other stuff. We recorded this two weeks ago and I'm a bastard and forgot to upload them till just now.

Cris is finally back with another movie review. Say my name and my review will flow...wait...it wont'? Ok just click the goddamn link.

Cris is back to talk about his thoughts on DMC 5.

The gang is joined by Ray from Cartridge-Crazy to discuss Devil May Cry 5, random super powers, and Captain Marvel.

The gang is back to talk about the Pokémon announcements, Apex Legends, and more.

Jeremy and Cris are back to talk about the latest info about Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge and Jeremy reveals his ideas for MO Tours 19.

I saw Captain Marvel yesterday and it's absolutely fantastic. Minor spoilers throughout as well as a lot of rambling and my thoughts on the films controversies.

The gang is back (minus Jerry who did....uh...doctor's appointment? No....visiting family....maybe?.....Squirrel Hunting....That's it) Anyway we talk about Apex Legends.

Title says it all folks. I talk about my character's wedding from last week and the amazing adventures of Hildibrand (told in the way only a Manderville man can!)

The crew is back to talk about Apex Legends, remakes, and the new Nintendo Direct.

This is the video I reference in the podcast. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOfCAmmlmkk Final Fantasy XIV updated their policies and indicated that they are going to be a bit more active when it comes to harassment and rude behavior. This is a respectful counterpoint to the video above on how this is a good thing (if done correctly.)

The gang is back to talk about Kingdom Hearts 3 vs Ni No Kuni 2, Alita Battle Angel (Rick and Cris just saw it) and what non-musical movies would be amazing musicals.

I played both games in equal amounts. One was surprisingly good and one was crazy boring. Guess which one is which.

Cris has finished Kingdom Hearts 3 and has some opinions. Lots of SPOILERS at the halfway mark.

Jerry, Shaun, and Cris are back to talk A LOT about our favorite game shows and Kingdom Hearts in equal amounts.

Dave and Jerry join me to talk about the Kingdom Hearts franchise the night before it comes out.

I just finished the Leon campaign and figured I could give my two cents at this point.

Shaun is back and on the road as he discusses the latest and greatest in Magic: The Gathering.

Rick is back to talk about his experiences at PAX South, Dave being amazing at damn near everything and Shaun's new podcast! Feel better Jerry!

Here is the link to the AZ video that I referenced: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVPYFrHn69U IGN just got called out for an inaccurate/incomplete review of the Resident Evil 2 remake and they kinda messed up how they handled it.

Here are a couple of quick thoughts I forgot to add to the last podcast. I also correct my comment from the main podcast and give a shout out to Thar Be Monsters and their game: Blubber Busters

Cris is back to talk in depth about his time at PAX South 2019....I guess the title kinda explained that too. Plus didn't I change tenses in their too? Get it together Strenth....

The gang is back and talk about the evolution of Destiny, Bungie leaving Activision, new Final Fantasy XIV and PAX South

I own a lot of collector's editions. Let's talk about what makes a really good one and what makes a god-awful one.

The gang welcomes Jerry to the Circle of Geekdom crew and we talk about...I don't remember. We recorded this a couple of weeks ago and didn't want to post it until we put Episode 100 up.

Exactly like the title says folks, we got ourselves the original version of the podcast before sound effects or editing was done. It's pretty funny.

We're Back with Episode 100! We did something kinda different than normal and hope you guys like it!!!!

I saw Aquaman the other day....
