No More Whoppers

Our soul-searching thirty-fifth episode opens with an ode to the tote; a sinister story of stalking by spider; Alex delivers his concession speech to the Wii U; further discussion of Game Shop; tears of joy for a new Dragon Quest on the 3DS, and then a rather serious look at depression and our own problems. We bring it back with Fan Fun, which involves crying during superhero movies! Warning: This podcast does not enable user to fly.

Our municipal thirty-fourth episode is a cavalcade of discussion: Ray reports new information from the 7-Eleven hearing; Alex reports new information about the spider web; trials and tribulations of international business; the full-bore insanity of local theater; a non-review of Wreck-It Ralph and why it's OK to cry; and Overnerds boldly goes. This podcast loves what you've done with the place.

In our lascivious twenty-eighth episode, we learn about Alex triggering LMFAO's downfall; a never-before-told Homeland Week story (for good reason); new developments in Japanese kids saying the darnedest things; the true effects of energy drinks on one's temper; adventures in [setting up] Dragon Quest X; and Overnerds asks why teachers don't like cartoons. This podcast is enhanced with the power of guarana, ginkgo, ginseng, Gorby, and thyme.

This podcast will return in The Alvengers.

In our magical twenty-fifth episode, we celebrate with the Homeland Week Epilogue; doubling down on (some) drops; this week in Pringles; the boys' in air conditioning; the return of our favorite hater; further discussion on improv vs. scripted videos, and another installment of the acclaimed Overnerd Program!

With Alex unable to record because he's busy sipping mai tais on the deck of an extravagant beachside property (one-third true), we thought we'd use this week to give you a rare exploration of the NMW blooper reel -- a collection of promos we hoped would reel in potential sponsors.
