Big Gay Nerds: Episode 225 (Masks 4.1) Apr 21, 2022

Show notes

We're back in the present day of Masks, and what a day it is! After the close calls and crossed lines of the last block, our young heroes have briefly parted ways to pursue their own goals. Luke tries out a new perspective with new presentation, Pate reaches out rather than lashing out, Pipa wrangles an overbearing ally, and Juno fights for her independence!

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 224 (See Issue X 1.2) Apr 13, 2022

Show notes

In the second half of our Scarlet Macaw continuity deep-dive, we see how his early life of vigilantism on Cathedral Street quickly escalated when his do-gooding earned him the wrath of an established criminal enterprise! When the mob's boss learns too much about his secret identity and starts hitting where it hurts, our hero will have to make some shadowy allies and learn what it means to truly embody his own ideals. To learn more... See Issue X! Note: Levi had some unexpected audio hardware problems that we were not fully aware of until after recording. I apologize for this oversight, and have done my best to make their funny and clever dialog more legible. Music by Perennial Sounds LLC

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 223 (See Issue X 1.1) Apr 09, 2022

Show notes

We're back in Halcyon City... WAY BACK! Because it's time to explore the early career of one Scarlet Macaw, our modern-day heroes' masked caseworker and collective father figure. In order to simulate the tangled narrative thread that only decades of serial publication can create, we're using Chris Longhurst's journaling game See Issue X! Listen in to find out how our tired gay dad first entered the life of costumed vigilantism! https://potatocubed.itch.io/see-issue-x Music by Perennial Sounds LLC

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 222 (Die Laughing 2.2) Mar 02, 2022

Show notes

With the first act behind them, it seems as if our hapless heroes have no means of fending off the giant irradiated centipede... granted, punching it seems to work pretty well as a stopgap, but we need long-term solutions and not everyone is as ripped as Biff Jackson! Who, if anyone, can survive if the monster is allowed to rampage unchecked? Watch on to find out... if you dare! Also, just for the record, we didn't know the Stray Cats were an actual band when we recorded this. Content warning for character death and a brief hypothetical gag about infants and pesticides.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 221 (Die Laughing 2.1) Feb 23, 2022

Show notes

It's The Revenge of Die Laughing! Elliot returns with Saturn, Levi, Owen, and Sara to explore a new side of horror-comedy: the kind that isn't intentionally comedic but was made on a shoestring budget in 1953 and is thus the funniest thing imaginable. When a giant irradiated insect stalks down the main street of a small town, can a gaggle of townsfolk band together and survive? Or will they just scream at the camera as an unconvincing prop looms over them?

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 220 (Beam Saber 2.10) Feb 17, 2022

Show notes

With their latest mission gone horribly south and resolved as well as they can hope for, the Forget-Me-Nots prepare to cut their losses and live to negotiate another day. However, one of their number has had a change of plans: Giuseppe "Golden Boy" Finch, having met a mysterious woman with a shocking amount in common with him, seems to have a chance at knowledge and revenge that simply climbing the ladder at Royal Blue could not afford him. Will he follow through with this plan, and will he survive to do it? And can his still-loyal squad mates do anything to change what happens next? Find out in the thrilling conclusion to this block of Beam Saber with the Big Gay Nerds!

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 219 (Beam Saber 2.9) Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

With the situation at the Ironbreaker Mechforge reaching a volatile head, the Forget-Me-Nots must pull out all the stops to get out alive, let alone succeed in their mission! Will getting messy pay off, or just get them in deeper trouble? Arabella makes a big distraction, Gabrielle goes for the throat, Pfeffer plays his trump card, and Guiseppe... has a talk and makes a decision. Content warning for gun violence, digit loss, and a large explosion.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 218 (Beam Saber 2.8) Feb 03, 2022

Show notes

As the Forget-Me-Nots once again find their party split and the circumstances desperate, only quick thinking can save the day. Incidentally, remember that time Pfeffer managed to fast-talk his way past a whole squad of mechs? Good times, good times. Not mentioning this for any reason, just... nostalgic.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 217 (Beam Saber 2.7) Jan 27, 2022

Show notes

With pre-mission prep behind them, the Forget-Me-Nots must choose a plan of "attack" for their diplomatic mission with a potentially dangerous and duplicitous labor strike. As they deploy, once again splitting the party, it quickly becomes apparent that a risky situation is even more so than expected. In the process, we get a pretty good example of how just a handful of rolls and a few points of Stress can really define a mission in Forged in the Dark games. Hope that's ominous enough for ya!

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 216 (Beam Saber 2.6) Dec 23, 2021

Show notes

The Forget-Me-Nots have a new mission... and it's a delicate one! A labor strike has struck at the chief Tychonian mech factory, and they seem more focused on arming themselves than negotiating terms. Will our robot-riding diplomats be able to diffuse the situation? Maybe if their do their homework! Pfeffer and Arabella both meet up with old acquaintances (with varying results), Gabrielle goes snooping as usual, and Guiseppe does some tactical bar-diving.
