Gamergate 2.0

Hello, and welcome to episode 73 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. Today, Sean and Vib try and work out why everything is crap. Again. Gamers (TM) are whining. And for the life of us, we cannot come up with a non ridiculous reason why.

The success of Baldur’s Gate 3

Hello, and welcome to episode 59 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. After our episode of superhero fatigue, we turn to a source of genuine excitement in the form of Baldur's Gate 3, the D&D 5th edition based game that's sweeping the nation. Why is it so good? Is this what the industry standard should be? Are we biased because we like the source material? Listen and find out.

The Overcomplication and Subsequent Tutorialisation of Modern Video Games

Hello, and welcome to episode 50 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. We're kicking back and waxing lyrical today, tackling all things video game. Are they too hard? Too easy? Just right, but also definitely not?

What do we want from Hogwarts Legacy?

Hello, and welcome to episode 44 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. Proving that not even the launch of Season 2 can help Vib and Sean be current, today the pair tackle Hogwarts Legacy, asking what they're looking forward to about the game, about 2 weeks after it released... And yes, they do talk about the elephant in the room. No, they don't solve it.

Can Creative Assembly make a Total War: Lord of the Rings? - ft. Lionheartx10

Hello, and welcome to Episode 20 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. This time, we're addressing Sean's view that there's perhaps something too pedestrian about Creative Assembly's Total War that he worries would ruin the Lord of the Rings' high fantasy. This statement is so outrageous that Vib brought in reinforcements in the shape of none other than one of YouTube and Twitch's finest TW content creators: Lionheartx10!

Early Access Video Games - Good or Bad?

Hello, and welcome to Episode 10 of Expertise is Overrated, where two nerds with an inflated sense of their own intelligence take the time to answer questions no one was asking. In our landmark 10th episode, we ask a burning question at the heart of the video game industry. Is Early Access good for the videogames industry? With the rise of Early Access as a way to bring games to market, alongside paid betas, now feels like a good time to drill down into the impact that it’s having on an industry we both care about.
