In this lost episode from the earlier days of the Free Play Podcast, Bubba, Matt & Kate discuss the contenders for Game of the Year for the 2018 VGA's. The likely reason this never made it to the podcast feed was due to the length, coming in at just under 17 minutes, recorded after multiple failed attempts from computer issues.

Have you had a disappointment in the game space that really bummed you out? Never fear, the Free Play Podcast is here to help you recover and move on. After Kate had an underwhelming God of War Ragnarök release day, they're talking all about gaming disappointments they've had and how we can all get to a better place.

LTN Con is one of our favorite weekends of the year here at Love Thy Nerd. It's a time of coming together as a community, playing games, and learning how to love and serve our nerdy neighbors better. We had some incredible keynote and breakout sessions, vendors, and opportunities to extend our online relationships into real life. Bubba and Kate were there, had an absolute blast, and wanted to recap the weekend with all of you. That's what they want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

In this lost episode from the earlier days of the Free Play Podcast, Bubba, Matt & Kate welcome Justin Bowers to discuss games perfect for family gatherings - ones that you can play easily right out of the box.

This might shock some of you, but Matt, Bubba, and Kate have been co-hosting a podcast together since 2017! Before the Free Play Podcast with Love Thy Nerd, they hosted the Arcade Podcast with GameChurch, the place where they all met and started this crazy journey. Over the course of these two shows, they've done just over 200 episodes together! In this show, they share some favorite memories from the past 200 - and some of yours too.

E3 used to be the summer's most exciting time for video games with all the press conferences from the biggest developers, but over time it's slowly gone downhill with this year having no E3 at all. From going from an industry only show to one that's completely open to fans and having some disappointing announcements, it seems like companies just didn't want to be a part of it anymore. Who will fill the vacuum that the show has left behind? What are we hoping to hear more about this summer? That's what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast season finale.

Bad Bunny, reggaeton superstar and WWE wrestler, has been cast in the lead role in Sony's Spiderman universe stand alone movie, El Muerto. Who is Bad Bunny and who is El Muerto? Why make a movie about a character who's been in two comic books with someone who isn't an experienced actor? We take a look at the info available on this upcoming project and that's what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

When the Kate is away, the boys will play and this week we do just that with our good friend, chef, artist, maker, and fellow streamer, Asiathegirl. What does she think about bento boxes, name changes and what might be in store for Discovery's buyout of Warner Bros. Media? Well, that's what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

Apple has announced so many attempts to competitively get into the gaming space with many of those either never happening at all, not living up to expectations, or falling through as Apple moves onto the next idea. What's happened in the past, and where does that leave us with the next big ideas of Apple VR and Apple Glasses? That's what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

We don't often delve into this side of pop culture, but the Oscars this year ushered in a new level of... Chaos. Something we can relate to here on the Free Play Podcast. We submit our own nominees for random Oscar categories (picked by me) which you can vote on this week on our Twitter account @freeplaypodcast. As long as Kate can remember to post it. That's what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

On this week's Episode, we have Brian and Stephen joined by Bubba from the Free Play podcast, as well as Luke and Mike from LTN.

Netflix makes a move into the mobile game business with games we've never heard of like Bowling Ballers, Asphalt Xtreme, Krispee Street, Dominoes Cafe, and Hextech Mayhem Netflix Edition. Why are they getting into gaming? We chat about this, experience Netflix gaming in real time, and turn from haters to believers. That's what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

Tabletop games have been making a move to the digital world through Tabletop Simulator and digital versions of tabletop games you know and love.  Physical games offer the benefits of in-person experiences and the ability to use the cards and pieces the developers created, but digital games have an advantage of letting people play together during the time of COVID and the ability to demo games in a cost effective way. What do we think about these two approaches to tabletop gaming?  That's what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

You've probably heard all about Microsoft's in-progress acquisition of Activision/Blizzard where Microsoft could come to own franchises like Call of Duty, World of Warcraft, and Overwatch. We wanted to take a look at what this could mean for the video game space as well as the effects of gaming turning into a push for content over consoles. That's what we want to talk about this week on the Season 6 premiere of the Free Play Podcast.

You know that here at the Free Play Podcast we love both video and tabletop experiences. So what happens when these two things collide to make board games based off of popular video games? We take a look at the massive Skyrim - The Adventure Game that's currently being funded on GameFound.com to see how it holds up to Skyrim the video game and think up some other games we'd like to see turned into tabletop games. That's what we're talking about this week on the Free Play podcast.

We're mixing it up a little on today's episode with our new segment, HOT TAKES, where we dig into random gaming related dilemmas off the internet. And we answer a chat submitted question about which one of us would live the longest in a zombie apocalypse which turns into a heated discussion. We also talk about LTN Con that's happening Oct.15-17! That's what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

There is a lot going on over at Blizzard/Activision and we have to wonder if it is effecting Call of Duty Warzone. Hackers. Low content flow. Hackers. Who picks up the pieces? Well, that's what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

On the season 5 premiere of the Free Play Podcast, Matt and Bubba hold down the fort and catch up on what they have been up to over the summer break. Also, Scarlett Johansson is suing Disney over Black Widow. All that and more this week on the Free Play Podcast.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been about a year since COVID really began to take over our lives. How has the pandemic affected the video and board game industries? Some games have released well during this unprecedented time and some games just.. Didn’t spark joy.That’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast. VamHJG51zHIAeR3RaGdN

Microsoft has had several failed acquisition attempts of other companies like Tiktok and Pinterest as well as the flop of their streaming service, Mixer. But Microsoft isn’t giving up and is trying to expand its reach by acquiring Discord for the small sum of at least $10 BILLION dollars. Yes. BILLION.  Do we think Discord would be a Microsoft exclusive service? Would Discord be better off partnering with Amazon? That’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

Bubba, Matt & Kate are scattered to the winds before their 100th episode! That means you get the B-team of Jonathan and Aaron but fear not we will be talking about what games we’ve been playing, Epic and Apple throwing their billions of dollars of PR firms around, and a spoiler-free reflection of Death Stranding and Last of Us Part 2. That and more on Episode 99.5 of the Free Play Podcast.

Gen Con Online was crazy. We played a ton of games and streamed every last second of that experience. We know and share the sentiment that we “Would rather be at Gen Con”, but when life gives you lemons, you stream those lemons on twitch.tv/lovethynerd. But how did it go? Was it worth the time and effort to put it all together? Well, that’s what we wanna’ talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

There are few things a person needs in 2020 during a global pandemic more than a reliable internet connection.  Maybe a solid pair of podcast pants and to remember how to make a halfway decent cup a joe. What does any of that have to do with Love Love Thy Nerd? We’re so glad you asked because that’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

If this podcast had an origin story… Tony Hawk would be the genesis of that story.  Matt, Kate, and I all played a lethal amount of this game, and it’s sequels, growing up… and cannot wait to play the upcoming Tony Hawk 1+2 remake bundle coming out in September!  So, sit back and enjoy some stories about how this game shaped our growing minds in the early 2000s, this week on the Free Play Podcast!

It’s been an interesting week in the world. There have been a lot of ideas and questions asked of so very high ranking officials… but none as important as the ones that we tackle in this episode. So, if you’ve ever wanted to know some of the deepest darkest secrets that we have… you’re gonna be pretty disappointed, but probably entertained. So, sit back and learn some random facts about us this week on the Free Play Podcast.

It's another week of quarantine for Bubba, Matt, and Kate as they all set sail for deserted islands in Animal Crossing: New Horizon. The trio talks about their experiences in exploring the island, some of the more frustrating elements of gameplay, how Kate completely pillaged her best friend's island, and how Bubba will eventually cave and let chickens into his house. All this and more on this episode of the Free Play Podcast.

Well, here we are.  The entire world in the midst of a global pandemic.  It crazy, really.  We’ve all seen 100 post-apocalyptic movies and played through games like The Last of Us and Fallout more times than you could shake a radioactive stick at, but I’m not sure that anyone really ever thought we’d be here having to deal with something like this.  I hope you’re all stocked up on toilet paper and bottle caps because they are 100% the new currency.  All that being said, nerds are on the rise as the internet becomes everyone’s new place of refuge and that what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast!

Well, we did it.  This is the last Free Play episode of 2019 and Matt and I are in the same room to record it!  With all of the games that came out this year, we thought it would be a good idea to do the most creative thing we would think of, so we came up with what we thought were the top 8 tabletop games released this year and that’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

Well… Fortnite broke itself… and the internet.  In what can only be described as a pretty great PR stunt for epic games, they literally obliterated the game.  Like… all the way, dead. It’s fine... I mean, it came back… but was it worth it?  Were there other off the wall PR stunts that the gaming industry has tried?  That’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.

Some things are too good to be true and aren’t made to last.  Spider-Guy in the MCU falls well within that category.  Why didn’t it work?  What will we do without him?  Are we finally going to get to see that real-life into the spider verse with toby McGuire, Andrew Garfield, and Tom Holland that the internet wants so much or will Sony see that sometimes its better to have your big brother with you on the playground?  Well, that’s what we want to talk about this week on the Free Play Podcast.
