ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Nick believed a GameCube could release toxic gas if you broke it the wrong way.So naturally, he and his stepbrothers tested the rumor.This week, Nick and Copper fall into a nostalgia-fueled nerd fight club covering the games, anime, superheroes, childhood rumors, and fictional universes that raised them.They debate Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 2, Marvel vs. DC, physical games vs. digital libraries, Pokémon vs. Digimon, Star Wars vs. The Lord of the Rings, open-world vs. linear games, and subbed vs. dubbed anime.Copper also faces the Copper Challenge: make one complete argument in 30 seconds without starting five more arguments, explaining an entire franchise, or forgetting the original question.Somewhere between the GameCube toxic-gas experiment, gaming creepypastas, Toonami memories, and the realization that the nerds grew up and became hot, the episode becomes exactly as controlled as you would expect.Running on 30%.
