Strategy guides were a huge part of many a gamers' childhood. I read my strategy guide for Final Fantasy VIII so much that the spine started falling apart. These books felt like we were getting a peak behind the scenes of how the game's inner workings actually functioned. To help us peak further behind that curtain, I am joined this week by David Cassady. David worked at Brady Games and Prima Games during their heyday and wrote some of our favorite strategy guides. Guides such as Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Kingdom Hearts 2, Metroid Prime and many more!

In this lively episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, hosts Charles, Joe, and Kurt gather to answer the big question of the week: "Which celebrity chef would you most like to fix you Thanksgiving dinner?" Charles brings a twist by choosing Kurt himself to cook his meal, while Kurt dreams of a Thanksgiving feast crafted by BBQ legend Erin Franklin. Joe goes all-in with Iron Chef favorites Bobby Flay or Masaharu Morimoto to bring some culinary flair to the holiday. Afterward, the roll of the dice sets the crew on a nerdy deep-dive. For this week's “What are you Nerding Out About?” segment, the trio can't get enough of Demon Slayer: Hashira Training Arc. Charles is bursting with excitement about hosting his popular game show, Fandom Face-off, at the upcoming CONjuration convention. Joe's been diving into fantasy books, recently finishing Legends & Lattes in preparation for the event and loving every page. He's also created an extensive AutoHotkey script to max out character stats in Final Fantasy VIII—proof that he's embracing his inner tech nerd. Meanwhile, Kurt has been swept up in 3D printing projects, so much so that the others wonder if he might need a 3D-printing intervention! The dice then bring up a round of bad dad jokes courtesy of CaseyJay and Devocite, bringing laughter to the group. Following that, the "Daddy, tell me a story" segment gets personal as Joe recounts the uncertainty he faced arriving at college with only $50 to his name. Kurt shares his experience of hitting rock bottom after both he and his wife lost their jobs, and a listener's comment from RandomKid about job hunting sparks a reflective conversation on the current job market. Then, the "Parliament of Papas" segment unfolds into an enlightening discussion on libraries, with the hosts lamenting how underutilized these valuable resources have become. To wrap up, the “How do I...?” segment leads to an exchange of tips on the best ways to learn a new language, covering apps, online classes, and local resources. Packed with fandom and fatherhood insights, this episode of Wise_N_Nerdy is a true testament to how we each can “Find your FAMdom.” Tune in and join the conversation in Wise_N_Nerdy: Where Fatherhood Meets Fandom. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/wise-n-nerdy/support

In this lively episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, Charles and Kurt kick things off with the classic "Question of the Week," asking, “What is your weirdest or funnest Halloween tradition?” Kurt confesses that his ideal Halloween involves turning off all the lights to avoid trick-or-treaters, while Charles recalls Halloween parties at his church that forever altered his feelings about the holiday. Just as the conversation is heating up, cohost Joe is hilariously "summoned" by RandomKid, joining the fun mid-episode. With the roll of the dice, the show moves on to the popular “Daddy, Tell Me a Story” segment. Charles shares a humorous tale about a too-real dream his wife had, where he cheated, causing her to be mad for days. Kurt recalls a similar experience—dreaming that his girlfriend cheated on him with his brother and waking up furious enough to confront his sibling! These stories set the tone for a segment that's both funny and a bit surreal. The dice then select “How do I…?” Charles weighs the costs of fixing his daughter's car against a replacement, while Kurt discusses his philosophy on being prepared for worst-case scenarios with solid backup plans. Next up is a series of Halloween-themed “Bad Dad Jokes,” which leaves everyone groaning and laughing in equal measure. The episode rolls on to a SpeakPipe from listener Devocite, who shares insights on the importance of computer backups. This sparks a valuable discussion, highlighting the tech wisdom every parent should keep in their toolbox. In the “Parliament of Papas” segment, the crew dives into a thoughtful debate about when to introduce kids to Marvel movies and TV shows, helping parents find the best ways to navigate fandom with their children. True to their motto, the Wise_N_Nerdy hosts encourage everyone to “Find your FAMdom,” balancing fun and family values. The show wraps with “What are you Nerding Out About?” Kurt shares his excitement about setting up the Pokémon TCG Pocket on his PC, while Charles enthusiastically discusses his adventures in Tiny Tina's Wonderland and compares it to the upcoming Borderlands movie. Joe, for his part, reveals his latest passion for AutoHotKey, having written a script to farm materials in Final Fantasy VIII. He also mentions watching the classic Planet of the Apes series with his wife for her first viewing—a nostalgic journey through cinema.

You'll just have to wait for it.So without further ado, sit back, grab some snacks, and get ready for this episode entitled "Zunderscore - Red Fedoras And Bathrobes: The Flip top Expansion To Streaming"Take it away guys.— SquidgeShortly after Squidge's introduction, Jay decided that he wanted to cosplay as the RPD uniform-wearing wolf man himself. Which culminated in a conversation about Vincent Adultman, Muppetman, and three Squidges in a trenchcoat.But after that, Jay asked Zunderscore to introduce himself:Yeah, so I've been a streamer on Twitch for a little over three years now. I do a little bit of everything. So I do variety gaming. I do some coding, some design development kind of things. I am a developer on one of a pretty popular twitch chatbot called Firebot. So I spend a lot of my free time working on that. And yeah, that's, that's the big stuff.As far as gaming goes, I have a love for a lot of different genres, but RPG's, platformers, a little bit of strategy, a little bit of roguelike, that kind of thing really, really appeals to me. So I'll do the retro thing every once in a while. I actually have a fun little setup for that, which I enjoy. So. Yeah.— ZunderscoreAnd because Squidge spotted Zunderscore's red fedora in the background of his video, it kicked off a discussion on RedHat Fedora Linux, what it is, a high level description of how it differs from other Linux-on-the-desktop or Linux-on-the-server distros and how Zunderscore came to have an officially licensed Redhat red fedora.With Zunderscore being both a developer and a, self-proclaimed, Microsoft fanboy, Squidge brought up that Jay is a Microsoft MVP and has been for almost three years. And Zunderscore brought up that Jay had interviewed one of Zunderscore's friends on an episode of The Modern .NET Show—which is Jay's other podcast.Recent GamesThe Recent Games segment will not be new to listeners, but in case you're new to the show here's how it goes: we go round the table and discuss one or more game that we've been playing recently, and whether we think it's worth the listeners checking it out. We continue to do this until we've run out of games to discuss.And this episode was no different.Zunderscore's Recent GamesNever Grave: The Witch and The CurseTurnip Boy Robs a BankSquidge's GamesSo anyone who knows me knows that I like the weird games. I like the wacky games. I like the games that people just throw to one side, saying, oh, it's. It's catering to so and so audience, blah, blah, blah. So there's a. There's a series of games called Onechanbara... This is leading somewhere.So one of the latest [Onechanbara titles] that they released was called, let me get the name right, "School Girl/Zombie Hunter". Now, the only description I'm going to give is, "lose the clothes and save your life." This is a survival of five high school girls happening in the world of Onechanbara. Right? This is not the game I've been playing.I've been playing the budget game from Wish on the Nintendo network. That is called, and I quote, let me get the name right.

We finish our long Final Fantasy adventure by playing Square's largest single player Final Fantasy yet. But does size equal quality? Does it equal ambition? We have many thoughts about this and about where the entire Final Fantasy VII Remake Project has gone and is heading in this enormous podcast about an equally enormous game. After dozens of hours, we are left with one simple question: why do we do this to ourselves? 1. Because we were ready to game2. Because we were sure of quality3. Because we were cluelessTrick question. The correct answer was: because it's our job.Thank you so much as always for listening, please rate and review the podcast, and tell all your friends on whatever social media you call home that they should check us out.

Fact - 1999 was THE best year for video games. This is not up for debate. With hard hitters like Final Fantasy VIII, Donkey Kong 64, Resident Evil 3 and even Shenmue, we as a species had peaked in creating playable perfection. But what other games came out that year? Was it more failures than franchises? On today's bonus episode, we chat about the gaming class of 1999 and other nonsense released before Y2K. Frost your tips and get ready to go back in time to when gaming on a 30" TV was a huge effin deal!

Is Squall dead? Is he just dreaming? We are about to take a (quite) critical look at the Squall is dead theory. Why? Why does Squall have to be dead? Is Mario dead? All those mushrooms and turtles sure seem to indicate so. Is Final Fantasy VIII too Fantasy and not based enough in reality for you? Do we feel the need to bring fantasy down to the materialist, hyper-rational world in order to enjoy it, or can it just stand on its own two feet? Or, maybe to hit a little closer to home... are YOU dead?
