Lore Boys

Lore Boys are back with more tasty lore. In case you missed it, our previous Titanfall episode covers a bit of the backstory to Kuben Blisk's Apex Games, and why all these quirky characters find themselves at the end of the known universe with nothing but and endless rain of firepower and a thirst for the blood of other athletes... a lot like Sochi, I'd imagine. But today's episode is all about the personalities themselves. How Michael Phelps is Pathfinder, Nancy Kerrigan is Pathfinder, how Mikaela Pauline Shiffrin is, well... Pathfinder.As we venture to the Frontier to take in some classic sport, James squatters up his speech, Peter parties with some Rats, Wrait gets arerested for shoplifting, and Lifeline finally changes her gloves. Grab yourself a gun and butter up some bats, it's Apex Legends character lore!As always, we super appreciate you listening, and hope that if you enjoy the show you’ll tell your friends and leave us a review on iTunes and the rest our social media (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.)

Boy the Lord of the Rings sure does have a lot of lore. Sauron sure did like to get up to a lot of stuff, like making 19 whole other rings just like the one they made three movies about. We talk about their maker, Celebrimbor, and his work in Sauron's sweatshops producing cheaply made phones. At least he managed to get his friends some phones before Sauron data-capped them.This episode Ethan kisses some Orcs, James learns to become a very average wizard, and Peter holds his staff a little too tight.As always, if you like the show and want to show some support, the best way to do so is to leave us some reviews on iTunes.

After our brief hiatus the Lore Boys are back, and we arbitrarily have decided to call this our season 3 premiere! Truth be told, none of us knows why some seasons end and new ones start, so we're going with our gut. We're talking about Marvel comics' Avengers on this episode, but we made sure to keep it completely spoiler free for Endgame content, so all you frosty nerds out there don't need to worry <3Ethan tries to give some background on the Marvel universe, how it works, and some of the other, notable dimensions in the multiverse, and then we evolve into speculation about where the Marvel Collective Universe might go in what Disney is calling Phase 4. Whether it be sexy blue aliens vs. sexy green aliens in the Kree-Skrull War, just sexy green aliens posing as sexy Avengers in Secret War, an invasion of Duckworldians, or something different altogether, we try and touch on a couple possibilities as we bumble our way through another episode.As always, if you like the show and want to show some support, the best way to do so is to leave us some reviews on iTunes.

It's the end of an era of Battletech, at least until we get mobs of Battletech fans storming our doors demanding more. We've reached the end of the canon timeline for Battletech, meaning we're taking the Republic of the Spheres formed during the time of the Blake Jihad and dragging into into the Dark Age, to when all the telephone lines across the universe went down to continue the metaphor from our last four episodes.James is still working in Poland, so Ethan and Peter go as off the rails as they're allowed while dad's not around.

Lore Boys here with more of that good lore we can't resist: it's another Elder Scrolls episode and this one is as jam-packed with good stuff as the last two. We're talking about the mysterious Dwemer: Nirn's dwarves who are actually elves. These elves are deep -- live in their parents basement and give you unsolicited advice about life deep. We realize that James can't tell two dwarves apart, twirling mustaches is a dead giveaway of a villain, and going to war is worth it if it's to destroy a giant racist robot. James gets his chicken tendies, Ethan builds a boat, and Peter gets disappointed by Mass Effect 3 somehow. So climb aboard this metaphorical ship of state and get yourself some Elder Scrolls lore.

Happy 4th of July! This episode we're doing a deep dive into more pen & paper, but this time in relation to a video game we're really excited about: Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red's upcoming sci-fi dystopia world is built off the tabletop RPG of the '80s that shares the same name, and it's chocked full of all the awesome lore and history you would expect, and it also may sort of detail a horrible dystopian descent of the United States brought on by rampant corporatism and greed BUT NOT LIKE THAT COULD HAPPEN, RIGHT GUYS?We're talking robot armies owned by corporations, bio-engineered plagues unleashed by government agencies, and maybe a couple fallen nukes.
