2014 is here and it’s always been interesting to me to see how other countries around the world ring in the new year. So I decided to take that concept and see how various video game locations would celebrate the holiday. I took a trip in my video game time traveling contraption and saw first hand how it all goes down…

In the spirit of the Christmas season I travelled up to the North Pole to interview the one and only Santa Claus.
I left Raleigh-Durham International Airport about 6:15am and arrived at the North Pole about 10:30pm the same night. Santa himself was there to greet me with some yummy cookies and hot chocolate!
Me: Thank you for agreeing to do this interview.
Santa: Oh, ho, ho, you’re very welcome!
Thanksgiving is fast approaching and families will be sitting down to feast, downing about a million tons of pumpkin pie, and gaining about forty pounds in weight a-piece. This year Chandra, Jace, Venser, and Koth sat down to give thanks and try to figure out what Thanksgiving is.
Chandra starts at the local supermarket shopping for a large turkey, unsuccessfully. She is used to feasting on Goblins and buying a turkey is quite confusing for her. She approaches a lady who looks like she knows how to talk turkey and asks her if she can help her find the perfect bird. The lady explains to Chandra that buying a turkey requires you to know how many people are going to eat it, if your oven is big enough, and if you can read instructions. Chandra doesn’t understand a word of this mess and leaves the lady spouting off turkey gibberish. Chandra wonders if you can cook a turkey on a spit like you do Goblins and if they taste like rotten stinky snot.
Hi All!
Here at NerdCulturePodcast we sometimes receive requests from people asking us to plug their topic/product. Sometimes it turns out to be something dodgy, or inappropriate for our family friendly image, but sometimes it’s something pretty cool – and the Electric Animal Circus definitely falls into that category.
According to the creator, Patrick Gleeson, ‘In a junk-punk, post-apocalyptic future an incorrigible showman and a boy genius build robotic animals from trash and make them the stars of a travelling circus.’ Intriguing yeah!
He has a website that chronicles the development of the Circus from concept to future release, featuring short films, photos, music and artwork, which can be found at:
It really does look awesome, with the xylophone playing octopus my personal favourite – “Keep it simple Stratonicus!”
According to Patrick his show will be ‘geek/robot/puppetry/theatre/scifi/junk-punk/music/animatronic/circus heaven‘ and I think he may be right.
Check it out!
Hi Guys
I’m not the biggest fan of YouTube. Not because of the concept, that’s great, but mainly because I don’t have a lot of time spare to browse the many great videos on there and it makes me sad.
But fan of the show, Colty, was nice enough to bring a certain video to my attention that had me laughing like a loon and I have to share it with you all. So thanks so much Colty and also curse you, because thanks to you I spent a large chunk of last Sunday browsing YouTube 🙂
First up is the vid Colty recommended to me – ‘The Star Wars That I Used To Know‘ – Gotye ‘Somebody That I Used To Know’ Parody by teddiefilms (check ’em out they’re very talented)
The next vid is one I stumbled across while browsing – the classic Weird Al Yankovic song – ‘The Saga Begins’
And finally the quite clever and sweet ‘Darth Vader in Love‘ from the Peter Serafinowicz Show

Enjoy!
