Episode 80: Hey! Listen! #13 - No Man's Sky & Witcher 3

Today we talk about the games we were obsessed with this past summer: Michael played nothing by No Man’s Sky once it came out, and I went through the entirety of Witcher 3. Both great games, but very different in style, tone, gameplay, and objectives. So we have lots of fun discussing how much we loved both!

 We hope you’ll join us next time for more great geek and gamer-related reminiscing and discussions. And check out the new adult video games we have available to check out at the Duxbury Free library – including some of the newest and most popular Xbox One and Playstation 4 games!

Episode 78: Reading Garden construction has begun!

Suzanne and Nancy discuss the good news: after 3 years construction has finally begun on the Reading Garden and Entrance. This will cause a couple of months of frustrating changes within the building and parking lot, but the end result will be enchanting and whimsical.
Here is where we will be posting updates.

Episode 77: Hey! Listen! #10 - E3 Reactions

Today we finally get around to recap our reactions to this year’s E3, recorded just after the annual videogame conference this year. I give my impressions about Xbox news, Michael gets into Playstation news, and of course we both wax rhapsodic about the new Zelda game, complete with speculation about the game and the new NX system it will apparently be released on. Lots of good stuff this year!

One thing we didn’t get to talk about was the game Guinevere and the Fallen King, which Callum Boothman, library patron and son of DFL staff member Kirstin Boothman went to this year’s E3 to present. Definitely check it out on their website and Facebook page!

Note: the term I was trying to think of in relation to the Fallout 4 Contraptions DLC was Rube Goldberg-type machines. Love those!

Everything you always wanted to know about Pokemon Go and why people are coming to the library to play. Jess and Beth, who are big fans, explain it all to Suzanne, who is not very familiar with Pokemon at all.

This is the Time article we mention about a man who has a house that is a Pokemon Go Gym.
And this is an article about the creator of Pokemon.
