Big Gay Nerds: Episode 148 (World Wide Wrestling 2.3) Mar 04, 2020

Show notes

After last episode's little ultraviolent intermission, it's time to step back and get a feel for who these underground cyborg wrestlers REALLY are. For example, did you know that Krunk the Barbarian is more comfortable in graphic tees than armor made out of car tires? Or that Wage Slave has a real estate business? Or that Clout Strife's real name is... Clout Strife? And what about all those other wrestlers on the card? Listen on to learn more about these unique individuals, and then hear them beat each other up.

Big Gay Nerds: Episode 147 (CYBER//PUNK 1.1) Feb 26, 2020

Show notes

In the futuristic dystopia of 1999, while the masses are placated by the spectacle of professional wrestling, there exists a turbulent underground of freelance operatives who break the law and risk their necks in search of fortune. Tonight, a fresh team of these "runners" will take on the forces of... well, professional wrestling. It's Saturn running a variant of our favorite one-stat system, and it's up to us to save their own WWW character! Content warning: This turns into kind of a bloodbath, though most of it isn't graphic. CYBER//PUNK was written by David Brunell-Brutman and can be found here: https://dbb-8.itch.io/cyberpunk Our outro music is sampled from Aesop Rock's The Blob https://soundcloud.com/rhymesayers/aesop-rock-the-blob
