NDBrothers Episode 19: Mega-NaNo WriMo

The Brothnerds are still in catch up mode! I will continue posting many episodes as I can get them edited. Once we get caught up, we will start recording some new ones, so listen and stay tuned. Give us some feedback or questions and when we start up again we can air your comments and respond!

This episode we discuss ….. some more DOTA 2 (sorry-skip the 1st 16 minutes if you’re over it haha. This might be one of the last dota eps.  Although this discussion is pretty good if you like Dota2), but the bulk of this episode goes to National Novel Writing Month (or NaNo WriMo). We discuss many tips about writing a novel and our experiences. Then we wrap up with some TV/Movie talk: Arrow, Walking Dead, Star Wars (minor note).

New theme song still going, please give some feedback and thanks for listening!

NDBrothers Episode 4

We apologize to the great many inconvenienced by our late posting of this weeks episode of NDBrothers.

In this weeks edition the brothnerds discuss the epic Civilizations 5, Magic the Gathering, adventuring in the public matchmaking world of DOTA2, and the positive affects of video games.

Jason and Rett were unable to get together in person this week, so they used to skype to record. You can taste how easily distracted they can get… plus it was so late. they were absolutely tired after a long day of work AND school.

But we know you love it!

It’s NDBrothers! Enjoy.

NDBrothers 3

In this weeks episode, the Brothnerds discuss Jim Butcher’s newly released Dresden Files feature – Skin Game.

They discuss The Dresden Files in general. Rett’s mouth waters a little bit while he wets his geek appetites talking about the things past, and the things to come.  Things are truly starting to heat up with this 15th installment in the series. Dresden always finds himself in a tight pinch, but he always finds a way out! And this time is no different! FUEGO!

Also the Brothnerds bash on Final Fantasy 13 a bit (with love) and talk about Final Fantasy in general.

And get a small peak behind the curtains of Awesome! Internet Radio.
