Nerds Without Pants Episode 184: The Mod Squad

Control Alt My Feet was robbed.

Hey, it’s another episode of Nerds Without Pants! It’s a pretty good one, I think. This post is lackluster at best because I got two hours of sleep last night, which is not even long enough to sleep through this episode. That makes sense, right? Cool.

Stage Select:

My first selection is "Samus Aran, Galactic Warrior" from Super Metroid. However, it's at its most epic when combined with the sound effects and visuals of Samus's brutal beatdown of Mother Brain after Mother Brain kills the baby Metroid. That is the single best example of an angry "mama bear" in a video game, all without dialogue or a cut scene.

My second selection is "Fight to the Death" from Final Fantasy XII. This plays during the battle with Vossler, who has betrayed the party and turned the Dusk Shard over to the Empire. However, Vossler didn't betray the party out of a desire for power, he did so in the belief that it would save the lives of his countrymen rather than see their lives lost in what he felt was a futile struggle. He was misguided, but was still a "son of Dalmasca" at heart.

Cage Match:

Voting for Cyberpunk on this one. My enjoyment of Witcher 3 and like of cyberpunk games combined with my prejudice against licensed titles wins the day here.

P.S. Still trying to get in touch with y'all about contributing a few pieces to the site. Laughing

Hey you should talk to Nick if you want to write articles to the site. I could message you his email.

Halo 3: Finish the Fight- Hearing this song while two Scarabs fall from the sky at once is still my favorite moment in the series and made the game feel so epic.



Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness: Mirror B's Theme- So imagine you're playing one of the most mediocre RPGs ever made, then all of the sudden two grunts mention their boss Mirror B is here, followed by a guy in a purple disco suit and enormous Pokeball colored afro moonwalking in and this song starts playing

Mirror B should be in every Pokémon game.

Cage Match

Cyberpunk wins because Avengers would build a strategy around Spider-Man (based on that old movie Terminator) then forget he's only in the PlayStation version and they're working with their PC crew
