It's the big throwdown! Welcome to "Josh vs Nic: A Battle For the Ages!"
OK, it's not that much of a throwdown. But it is a nice long podcast in which Josh and Nic discuss their takes on both the history and the current state of home console video gaming. So please, enjoy.
Sorry for the lack of content this week. In order to make it up to you, we present you with this new episode of The Inner Dorkdom podcast! Listen in as Nic and Josh talk about the big news in Star Wars, the
announcement of J.J. Abrams as the director of Episode VII. They also
talk about Star Trek (big surprise).
It's the first Inner Dorkdom podcast of the year! Listen in as the guys do a somewhat impromptu awards show for their favorites from 2012. We're not trying to tell you what was the best, just what was their favorite...and which from among their favorite would win in a head to head fight. Yeah, we're weird. But it was late at night, the people around us were cleaning and then sleeping, and we're us. So what do you expect?
Enjoy!
Oh, and next episode, expect better audio quality.

The new site is here, and a new Inner Dorkdom podcast is up! Join the proprieters of this little corner of the Internet (Todd, Josh, and Nic) as they discuss why they started The Inner Dorkdom and what they want it to be. Thanks for listening.
The Inner Dorkdom is back! In honor of the 25th anniversary, take a listen as Josh and Nic talk a bit about one of the greatest film series of all time (Josh would say the best): Back to the Future!
P.S. - There might be commentaries on each film in the future.
So two jerks from the future took over our podcast for this episode! Course, it's probably a good thing cause our original attempts at this one have been quite terrible. Anyway... Josh reveals a guilty pleasure, our boys talk a bit about COD: Modern Warfare 2 and New Super Mario Bros. Wii, discuss the horrors of competitive online gaming, and then the future jerks pop in, knock us out, and talk about Final Fantasy IV and VI. A subject in which we probably should have just talked about in the first place.
!!WARNING!! The volume levels on this one tend to go up and down a little bit due to some compression issues. Don't worry, though. It's not gonna burst your speakers or anything. It just gets a little quieter around the 30 min. mark. Episode must be cursed or somethin'. Like that one episode of Quantum Leap called "The B**gieman". Well, hopefully not like that.
*Update* Yeah, it's cursed. For some reason, the streaming version won't work properly. So it looks like downloading is the only option. Sorry bout that. Guess you can blame whoever curses stuff!
The 2nd part of covering the Terminator franchise. Josh and Nic realize and discuss (at great length) the problems with Terminator: Salvation while still realizing that it's a good movie, and talk a bit about the franchise's first great, and maybe last, foray into television (The Sarah Connor Chronicles). Nic explains why he can't stand Sarah Connor, while Josh explains that his love for Summer Glau is in no way creepy. At all. Really, it's not.
After their first official segment, "Nerd News", Nic and Josh tackle the ENTIRE Terminator franchise (Well, at least everything that's been committed to film) in the first of a two-parter. In this part, they cover the first 3 Terminator films, hate on the "greatest action movie of all time", praise the "worst", attempt to explain the complications of time travel, and talk alot about "what Kyle Reese said in Terminator 1". Watch out; it's a long one. Remember what we told you last week about using the pause button! Posted below are some graphics you can use as a visual aid for when Nic launches into his lecture on the main, fictional differences in time travel.
