The Nerd Out With Me podcast is now a thing, and I have no idea why

Posted inGeek Stuff, Videos, Works by Eric
I've been doing Youtube videos for a little over a year now, and by "doing" I mean sitting in my attic drinking beer with a friend and letting him turn them into fun video nonsense about board games, toys, movies, and whatever else suits our fancy. They've been fun and, for me, low impact -- which is exactly what I wanted when I signed up for it, because the last thing I needed was another project. So I don't know what the hell was going through my head when I suggested we do a podcast. What a terrible idea. See,…

You may or may not know that I co-host a goofy little Youtube show called Nerd Out With Me, formerly Hours in the Attic. We drink beer and talk about nerd stuff we like, usually older stuff from ye ol' days o' yore. It's fun. I like doing it. And these are some of the recent episodes we did. Fun stuff like our favorite MS-DOS games, a rare early edition of my favorite board game, Axis & Allies, a sneak peek at a totally outlandish B-movie called Attack of the Killer Shrews, and a review of a SUPER COOL indie…

You may know that I co-host a modest little nerd&nostalgia show on Youtube. It's fun. And sometimes stupid. And fun. But mostly stupid. I'd not have it any other way. The really stupid thing, though, is that I let my co-host, Tig of Nerd Out With Me, convince me to do a live Christmas special this Friday night. So that's what we're going to do. We're going to broadcast live for hours, doing god knows what. Maybe singing Christmas songs while drinking beer and swinging replica Lord of the Rings axes at one another and accidentally breaking family heirlooms. We'll…
Watching a bunch of Harry Potter trailers back-to-back, because why not?

A new movie set in the Harry Potterverse is about to debut, Big Giant Monsters and How to Get Them, so my esteemed Youtube Partner, Tig of Nerd out with Me fame, and I decided to do what any sane middle aged men drinking beer in an attic would do: we watched all the Harry Potter trailers back-to-back, jabbering as we did. Eight trailers is a lot. This is a long episode of Hours in the Attic, just short of our longest to date. But we also think it's a fun way to quickly revisit all those Potter flicks, so…
Lots of cool geeky movie posters & swag! (new Hours in the Attic episodes!)

It's a happy day when Hours in the Attic returns from its summer hiatus -- had to take some time off, it gets HOT up in that attic! -- and an even happier day when Tig brings a whole mess of movie theater swag to show off. Tons of superhero flicks, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and more. Part 1 has pins and oddball items, and part 2 is his "holy wow" movie poster collection. This thing is crazy impressive - and we only show about half of them! Dig it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2YSasOkOio   Okay, that part was cool, but…
