Soylent Green is people! But not all food from the future is expected to be as cannibal-y (not to say that we expect it all to be particularly appetizing). To help discuss the foods that we may expect to come in the future based on current science and science fiction, Nerd Variety requires the aid of an expert in the culinary arts! From the awesome blog, "Practically Vegan", Sarah Pamplin joins Hannah, Hunter, and Josh for this fun food episode.

S3E7 - Emotionally taxing video games
Tuesday Sep 08, 2020
Tuesday Sep 08, 2020
For some of us, there's just something about a game that makes you feel emotionally drained that keep us hooked. Sometimes it's a sad or depressing story, sometimes just beautifully deep, sometimes scary, sometimes it's not even the game, but some things that happen during our play time. Whatever the reason for our emotional exhaustion, Nerd Variety discusses some of the games that have done this to us and what causes it.
