Mike may be sleep deprived, but he loves you so much, he’s still here cranking out the quality material! First, he takes a bold and controversial stance against snobbery, and then he shares the latest roleplaying game that he’s created: a horror game featuring Boy Scouts called Terror at Camp Pinewood. Then he babbles incoherently for a bit before introducing the joys of ROKU! in a brand new segment. The music this week comes from Ok Go, and of course no episode would be complete without the Pod-O-Matic! This week, R2 serves up bits on the Konami Code, 30-sided dice, Talk Like a Pirate Day, the smoky allure of Susan Boyle, and no less a topic than THE MEANING OF LIFE! Never has an episode of Nerd Pride Radio been so crucial! Get in there!

Enjoy!
