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! We talked about how he got into writing guides, what the process of writing them was, unexpected challenges and much 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. "Anime Girls: Highschool of Dead".I didn't buy this. I got it on some gold points that I had left over and I thought I wanted a laugh. It's meant to be a survival game with one music track with a load of unlockable characters... I pretty much figured out how to cheese it in about ten minutes.— SquidgeAnime Girls: Highschool of DeadBloodstained: Ritual of the NightJay's Recent GamesJay had been playing lots of retro games on a freshly purchased Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, which you can see here running the PlayStation version of Final Fantasy VIII.Samurai WarriorsRatchet & ClankFull Show NotesMake sure to check out the full show notes for more quotes from the episode, some extra analysis, and loads of extra links.Tell us on what you thought of this episode on Discord, Twitter, Facebook, or try our brand-new contact page.Links of InterestJoin our Discord server and be part of future episodesOur Facebook pageUs on TwitterSupport us on Ko-FiFirebotZunderscore's links:WebsiteMastodonYouTubeTwitchLiveSpaceRedHat Fedora LinuxJay's MVP status pageJay's interview with Zunderscore's friend, Jeremy SinclairSigning Off...

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.

Neither could we, so we brought Nomad back onto the show to discuss it with us. Remember the "we do it" t-shirts? Remember the months of speculation? Remember that first time you booted the game?This is a sample of the full show notes - make sure to click here to check out the full show notes.Content WarningThere are a few swears in this episode, but none which should be too offensive.Please listen responsibly.Show NotesFrom active time battling to zombie slaying, waffling Taylors covers video games and beyond.In this episode, we are joined by OG Waffler and long-time friend of the show Lulu to to talk about the anniversary of Final Fantasy eight on the PS one. In this episode, we cover everything from triple triad addiction, bazooka abuse and the original Selphie.So without further ado, sit back, grab some snacks, and get ready for this episode entitled "Resident Evil 2 Remake with Nomad - The Spirit Is Strong, But The Ammo Is Scarce."Take it away guys.— SquidgeThat's right! This episode is all about Final Fantasy VIII. Some say that it's the black sheep, or weird middle child of the group of 90's J-RPGs created by SquareSoft for the PlayStation; but, as you'll find out in this episode, it's the favourite of both Jay and Lulu—with Final Fantasy IX in a very close second for everyone in the episode.All that set up and Jay fumbled at the 10 yard line:You have once again stepped into the world of survival, horror, et cetera, et cetera, because I can't think of anything funny to say.— SquidgeThis time, the lads were joined by Nomad of The Retro Wildlands—someone who seems to be on the show talking about Resident Evil a lot, and he is loved very much for it.But before the show could start properly, Jay asked Nomad to introduce his show:So, for those of you listening, I have my own podcast, and I call it The Retro Wildlands.And the whole premise: I'm going back and playing some older video games that maybe I played when I was a kid, or maybe I missed out on them and I'm playing them for the first time as an adult. So my show is kind of me talking about those games and my experiences.But as I've evolved over time, my show has kind of turned into I'm taking the listener through the game itself, maybe the opening level, let's say, and I'll try to bring back some of those nostalgic tinglies, if you will, using music and sound effects and things like that.But if you've never played that game before, this is a great way to learn about a game that maybe you want to dabble in and don't want to dive in headfirst. You want someone to tell you kind of how it is, and that's what I do.So the Retro Wildlands is available on all the major pod platforms. I made a link tree. linktr.ee/retrowildlands will get you to all our social links.I say "our," but it's just me. Me and my dog Dee Dee's.— NomadInitial Thoughts on The RemakeBefore any deep dive conversation, it's always a good idea to get a starting position, and that's what Jay wanted to know:I originally played it as soon as it came out. I don't pre-order games very often, but I pre-ordered the remake. I was enamoured with it. I played the original a ton when I was a kid. Probably shouldn't have if mom had her way. But, it was an amazing experience, and I knew the remake, for better or worse, was something I wanted. But I was very pleasantly surprised with how amazing that game was. And we're certainly going to get into it today.But I replayed the game start to finish twice when I knew that we were going to get together and talk about the game. And I was very excited to dive back into that world, and I was very happy with how everything stood the test of time. Granted, it was only five years, but "fresh" is probably the best word, I think so. I think people, even though this game is five years old at this point, if you go into this experience now, it's going to be just like when it first launched.Fresh, new, exciting. Mwah. Chef's kiss— NomadAnd Squidge:All I can say about it is: I played it on release. But I played it, I think I had the day off when it was coming out and I finished preloading it at midnight, because it was on Steam. And I played it in the dark on hardcore mode. That was a big mistake.Ever since that night, I still stand by this. What I'm about to say is, "Mr. X, you're a prick." That sums up Resident Evil two pretty nicely: dude's a prick.— SquidgeBecause Squidge had brought up Mr. X, and how he'd modded the original model out for both the Goose from Untitled Goose Game and the Macho Man Randy Savage, it was only right that Jay brought up the short series of episodes which were recorded as Squidge made his way through the game.Those episodes are:Grenade to The Face! (recorded when Squidge was 25% through the game)Ada Wait! (recorded when Squidge was 50% through the game)The Fall of Mr. X (recorded when Squidge was 100% through the game)Jay goes on to talk about how the RE Engine ("Reach for the Moon Engine") hasn't just been used for the Resident Evil remakes, it's also been used on several other titles like DmC: Devil May Cry. And for those who are interested in finding out about the (deeply) technical (as in programming) details of the engine, Jay brought up a talk from one of devs the team about what upgrading to C# ("See Sharp") 8: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDUY90yIC7UFor those who don't know, Jay produces and hosts The Modern .NET Show, so he's always looking into things relating to both C# and .NET. Because of this, the video not only piqued his interest but blew him away.The video is entirely in Japanese, but there are English subtitles so you can follow along if you'd like.(quoting the video) "We moved to this version of the tooling, which is a later version, to build the engine and it's become a whole bunch faster and stuff."Which means they've released patches for Devil May Cry remake, Resident Evil 2 remake, Resident Evil 3, that makes it use less power or is more efficient, things like that. So they haven't actually done anything. They've just updated the tools that they use, which is pretty damn cool.— JayAnd, of course, Jay brings up the question that's on everyone's mindsDino Crisis remake in RE Engine when?— JayFull Show NotesMake sure...

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?
