Extra Lore 23 - Warhammer 40k
Monday Feb 12, 2018
Monday Feb 12, 2018
Our 23rd installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Beard, and special guest co-host Receptor17 (known to many as the 'Nutty Welshman', even though Blue thinks it's Irish...don't ask) together to learn a bit about the insanely grimdark universe of Warhammer 40k. Prepare thyself - Receptor delivers an amazing amount of information...and this is just a scratch on the surface of the information that is available for consumption in 40k.
As stated at the end of the show - let us know if you enjoyed this one and if you'd like us to schedule a follow up with Receptor (and if so, what in particular you'd like to explore with us)!

Extra Lore 22 - Dead Space
Friday Jan 05, 2018
Friday Jan 05, 2018
Our 22nd installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, and Beard together to learn about the world of Dead Space, something that Beard is happy to educate us on. Be prepared for an episode that actually allowed Blue a chance to be the one to derail the chat with random notes and questions - at the cost sometimes of Green's comfort in regards to Grimlins and headcrab beanies (trust us, it makes sense...kind of).

Extra Lore 21 - Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice (ft. BelleBunny)
Friday Dec 08, 2017
Friday Dec 08, 2017
Our 21st installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Beard, and returning guest co-host BelleBunny together to discuss the powerful story of Hellblade - well, at least Green and Belle do. Blue and Beard, having not gotten a chance to really play (Blue has watched some of the game played and all of the cutscenes) really took a chance to take a back seat to the conversation. A large point of the discussion with this particular title was that of the emphasis on mental health - inside and outside of the game.
Note that while the game itself is rather gruesome - we do manage to keep it pretty PG in regards to the chat. There are a bit of more brutal concepts discussed, so anyone who isn't comfortable or have Little Lights listening in with you should just keep that in mind.

Extra Lore 20 - Marvel (ft. DJ Kantrip & Damoel)
Friday Nov 03, 2017
Friday Nov 03, 2017
Our 20th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Beard, and returning guest co-hosts DJ Kantrip and Damoel together to chat about the Marvel Universe (yep, we're doing it again!). We hit the ground at a pretty decent speed, and don't really let up as we careen through the more well known figures from the Marvel series (heroes and villains and....all the shades in between). Thankfully we don't trigger any Damo-rage (though we gain some insight on what pressure points are there for....future use).

Extra Lore 19 - DC (ft. Damoel)
Friday Oct 06, 2017
Friday Oct 06, 2017
Our 19th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, and returning guest co-host Damoel together to chat about the DC Universe (yes, the whole thing and no, we didn't cover all of it in 2 hours). Prepare yourself for a pretty entertaining roll through not only the creative history of the comic series, but also an excellent insight into the hosts's views on the main figureheads of the DC series...and an enlightening lesson in how to best trigger the Damo-rage.

Extra Lore 18 - Final Fantasy (ft. Damoel & BeardGrizzly)
Friday Sep 08, 2017
Friday Sep 08, 2017
Our 18th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, and returning guest co-hosts Damoel and BeardGrizzly together to chat about the amazingly complex stories involved in the universe of Final Fantasy. But don't worry - our guests have the information covered and are able to present it in a truly enjoyable fashion (albeit with a bit of slight disagreement on some of the finer points - which shouldn't be a surprise). Be sure to also stick around for the whole episode - as there are some good tangents (especially near the end where we dive into the Tactics series a little bit).

Friday Aug 04, 2017
Our 17th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Justin, and special guest co-host InfestedPotatoe together to take an introductory look into the rich world of Horizon Zero Dawn. While most of this episode is concerned with a general summary of the title (small spoiler warnings), there is also a discussion on the details of the different types of mechanical figures, the various purposes of the subroutines experienced in the game, as well as a very brief look at the history of the story-world that led to the events that the players experience in game.

Extra Lore 16 - Halo
Friday Jul 14, 2017
Friday Jul 14, 2017
Our 16th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Justin, and returning special guest co-host PenHalo together to discuss the universe of Halo - specifically the mysteries of Dr. Catherine Halsey, the Spartan-II program, and Cortana. The intial conversation focuses around a recap of the timeline discussed in the previous Halo Extra Lore episode, but once we have the basic facts mostly out of the way, the debate over the morality of Halsey truly starts. We would love to hear your thoughts on this one especially - so be sure to send 'em in!

Extra Lore 15 - Titanfall
Friday Jun 09, 2017
Friday Jun 09, 2017
Our 15th installment of the Extra Lore series brings Blue, Green, Justin, and special guest co-host Taylor-B together to chat about the rich details of the Titanfall universe - a game which got a pretty bad reputation from it's first title, but managed to completely reverse directions with the second title. As you'll find here, the details are immensely intricate - in a gameworld that is presented in a very episodic fashion - and draw from a number of different influences (at least it seems to from the hosts's points of view). Starting off with a general summary view of the Titanfall universe, the team quickly dives into a summary of the two titles storylines - which if you haven't had the chance to experience yet, definitely comes recommended by Taylor and Justin.

Join the team and get ready to gear up with some good, basic knowledge (and some great side stories) about the world of Forgotten Realms and the joys of tabletop gaming.
