Podcast appearances and mentions of will nick

It's the season 2 weddings! Will Nick's sweat send Danielle into a spiral? Will Iyana finally see the red flags?? Will Shake EVER shut the fuck up??? You might be surprised! But you probably won't.

This week on Critical Arcade, Dave and Nick polish up their lightsabers and take on Star Wars: The New Droid Army, a Game Boy Advance title that boldly asks the question: “What if Anakin Skywalker had a bad day, bad intel, and a worse run animation?” Set between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, this pocket-sized adventure drops Anakin onto Tatooine with a mission to investigate a new kind of droid that, somehow, completely ignores lightsabers, which seems like something the Jedi Council probably should've mentioned before deployment.As Anakin, the boys battle through wave after wave of robotic enemies, shady bounty hunters, and the occasional “wait, where am I supposed to go?” moment, all while navigating levels that look like someone spilled Star Wars onto a spreadsheet. But hidden beneath the crunchy graphics and suspicious hitboxes is a story filled with betrayal, double-crosses, and enough lightsaber swinging to qualify as cardio. Can Dave's Nostalgia goggles find any redeeming qualities in a game as complex as Jar Jar Binks? Will Nick ever remember the name of Liam Neeson's character in the Phantom Menace? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Critical Arcade, Dave and Nick take to the stars in Stellaris, where diplomacy, warfare, and questionable ethics collide in a galaxy teeming with possibilities. As they forge their own interstellar empire, they'll have to balance exploration, technological advancement, and the occasional existential crisis when a sentient AI starts asking too many questions. Will they embrace the path of peace, fostering alliances and trade with other civilizations? Will Nick decide that diplomacy is overrated and declare war on anything that moves? Can Dave resist the urge to genetically modify his entire population into something completely unrecognizable? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Critical Arcade, Dave and Nick step into the ring, lace up their boots, and prepare to throw down in WWE 2K25! With an updated roster, improved mechanics, and enough over-the-top action to make even the most seasoned wrestling fan cheer, they'll be suplexing their way through the latest entry in the legendary franchise. Whether it's mastering the new MyRise story mode, dominating the squared circle in Universe Mode, or creating the most ridiculous custom wrestler imaginable, there's no shortage of mayhem to be had. Will Nick finally land his dream match between a 10-foot-tall, 500-pound luchador and a suspiciously accurate recreation of himself? Can Dave resist the urge to turn every match into a chaotic no-rules brawl between himself and Logan Paul? Tune in as they find out if WWE 2K25 is a title-worthy champ or just another jobber in the franchise! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Critical Arcade is back and this week Dave and Nick ditch their usual two-legged protagonists for something far more nimble—an adorable stray cat. In Stray, they explore a breathtaking cybercity, abandoned by humans but repurposed by quirky, humanoid robots just trying to get by. Will Nick ever stop getting distracted by the sheer joy of the tone altering music and inorganic sound design? Can Dave persevere through the dark narrative when he thought it was a game about being a cute cat? And just how long will it take before one of them gets their head stuck in a paper bag? Find out as they experience one of the most unique perspectives gaming has to offer—whiskers, tail, and all! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this special episode of The Rewatch Party, Nick, Anthony, and Manny embark on an epic journey to discuss the rewatchability of The Lord of the Rings trilogy. This marks a historic moment for the podcast, as Nick has granted Anthony's long-standing wish to add the beloved fantasy series to The Rewatch Party collection. With swords, sorcery, and some of the most iconic moments in cinematic history on the table, the hosts dive deep into what makes these films so enduring. Anthony, the clear champion of Middle-earth in this discussion, passionately argues why The Lord of the Rings is a must-have in The Rewatch Party lineup. He breaks down the trilogy's breathtaking storytelling, unparalleled world-building, and legendary performances, especially from the likes of Ian McKellen and Viggo Mortensen. Manny, ever the wildcard, brings his own perspective, focusing on the sheer spectacle of the battles, the gripping character arcs, and, of course, his thoughts on the sheer length of the extended editions. Nick, while perhaps the most skeptical about including such a massive trilogy, gives credit where it's due. He acknowledges Peter Jackson's masterful direction and the trilogy's cultural impact, even if he finds himself questioning just how many walking sequences one movie can contain. The hosts debate whether the films hold up to repeated viewings, touching on their pacing, action, and emotional weight, all while weaving in their trademark banter and humor. By the end of the episode, the trio reaches a verdict on whether The Lord of the Rings truly belongs in the Rewatch Party collection. Whether you're a hardcore Tolkien fan or just someone who enjoys a good fantasy adventure, this episode delivers a fun, insightful, and sometimes ridiculous deep dive into one of the most beloved trilogies of all time. Will Nick be fully converted into a fan, or will Anthony's dream inclusion face unexpected challenges? Tune in to find out!   https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120737/
