The Metal Geeks are back with another round of brand new geekery!

In this episode Al talks with author Lilse Asalt about D&D and her experiences running the game at her local coffee house. You can find Lilse's YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/@lilseasalt    

In this episode we will take a look at some of the aspects of Dungeons & Dragons that, over the last few years, have been labeled as problematic. We will be taking a look at topics like racism, sexism, politics, and the origin of orcs. This was not a fun episode to write. I tried to understand the views of both sides. Spoiler alert: I think both sides have issues, but they are not the same.  This is a long episode, and I still don't think I covered everything I could have or should have touched upon.  More importantly, there is the question of what we should do about aspects of D&D that are considered problematic. There is not an answer that will satisfy everyone, but I will do my best to discuss what we should do.

On this episode of Metal Geeks, Cary the Metal Geek, Brutal Dave, and George dive into one of the biggest conversations in gaming as PlayStation announces plans to end physical game production by January 2028.

The crew also discusses Xbox's latest changes and layoffs, sharing their thoughts on where the gaming industry is headed.

The gaming conversation includes Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, DOOM: The Dark Ages, Mouse: P.I. For Hire, and far too many Steam games to count. We wrap things up with another edition of George Hates Metal, featuring Anthrax and Besvärjelsen, followed by a discussion of our favorite Gothic Metal bands and albums. We also talk about new releases from Left to Die, Converge, Sojourner, SUBMASQ, Dominum, Moonspell, Undrowned, Mastodon, and more.

So don a Dr. Who t-shirt, raise a glass and join Elliott for a nerd-powered journey through geek pastures, wine country and audiobook wizardry. “The current world is tense and unpredictable.

Rerun: Henry Winkler, an accomplished water-skier, had asked the producers of ‘Happy Days' if he could showcase his skills on the sitcom. On 20th September, 1977 his wish came true - in a shark-jumping sequence so absurd it would forever be linked with the irreversible artistic decline of long-running TV series. To ‘Jump the Shark' was a phrase coined some eight years later by college roommates Sean Connolly and Jon Hein, and has since inspired other pop culture idioms including ‘growing the beard' (a TV show that gets better with age) and ‘nuking the fridge' (a ‘jump the shark' for movie franchises, named after Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull). In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly reveal Winkler's star power as the top turn on Happy Days, and explain why Robin Williams' appearance in the show *wasn't* a dream. Do they say ‘eeeeeeeeeeey' a lot? Exactamundo!

We've been having a look back through the Tape Notes archive to bring back some of our favourite early episodes that you may have missed. This selection is our conversation from November 2019, with Sam Shepard, Floating Points. EPISODE NOTES In this episode John heads to EMS4 studios in Shoreditch to chat with Floating Points a.k.a Sam Shepherd, about how he recorded and produced his latest release, Crush.  Talking from deep within Sam's musical laboratory, we peer behind the curtain and find out how Floating Points music is created and crafted, pulling apart some of the tracks from his second album along the way. We get to hear how live performance and classical music are a serious influence in his writing process in addition to experimenting with the impressive number of synths he's collected over the years. Geekery is in abundance in this episode.  Listen to find out why space was scant in Sam's student bedroom, who sick Anna actually is and why sometimes all you need is a Yamaha Reface CS in your backpack.  Tracks discussed: Last Bloom, Annasickmodualr, Bias.
