Epic Universe with Nama 10/13/2025

Epic Universe with Nama Does this qualify as being back? I guess in some capacity it must. If you are still subscribed to this podcast, consider this a hearty reward for doing so. If you play your cards right, this won't be the only reward you get this year. Friend of the pod, Nama, returns to talk about his unparalleled experience in Orlando's very own Epic Universe. Did he and his voluminous party wring satisfaction from Nintendo's Newest Novelty? Tune in and find the hell out...in true R3 fashion.

Episode 75: The Return of Fire Bars 01/13/2025

Episode 75: The Return of Fire Bars Greetings, friends. It's episode 75. I suppose one could argue that this is a milestone episode, were one concerned with such a thing. Fortunately, I am not concerned. Increments of twenty-five are nice and all, but I'm more of an increments of fifty guy. Hey, we talk endlessly of Mario and his news. We have a very old enemy of the week, and we do the Goomba Mask. OH! Oh yeah! It's volume two of Fire Bars as the feature. Sit tight and enjoy the rhymes... /episode/index/show/a72e9edd-6679-429c-88ba-8a04e27715a5/id/34831545

Alex (me) isn't here this week, he's recuperating (more on this next week). In his stead, faithful gamer Nama stands up proudly to accompany Kevin into the Marioverse. What do they talk about? Oh boy, it would actually be easier to tell you what they don't talk about--anything boring! That's right, these guys are laser-focused on the plumber of record, and they do it with gusto. A new feature introduced by Nama is here, and it's related to that holiday everyone seems to be so keen on. You know the one. All that and a particularly predatory enemy of the week...thanks for listening! /episode/index/show/a72e9edd-6679-429c-88ba-8a04e27715a5/id/34567560
