    "Fookin' laser sights..." Welcome to the Nerd Impact Podcast, where we discuss and dissect the books, comics, movies, TV shows, music and games that have had an impact on us and our lives. In our seventy third episode, we discuss the long running competitive shooter, Siege. With great potential to be an incredibly rewarding tactical team game, the experience of playing Siege is defined by intense highs and lows. A steep learning curve and little room for mechanical error due to a very low TTK, makes Siege difficult to intially get into. However, we here at the podcast think it is an incredibly satisfying game to invest time into.

Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create life… He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying. The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural. He became so powerful… the only thing he was afraid of was losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. Ironic.
