The Blerds are back brining you all of their thoughts on everything happening in nerd culture. Shannon, Jaja and James delve into the complexities of Roblox, discussing its vast sandbox environment and the safety concerns surrounding it, particularly for children. They emphasize the importance of parental guidance in monitoring kids' interactions on the platform. The conversation shifts to censorship in gaming, highlighted by PETA's request to remove a character's nose ring in Mario Kart, and the implications of such actions. They also celebrate the success of Red Dead Redemption, explore the significance of sales metrics in gaming, and address the recent plagiarism controversy involving Pokemon. Plus, we're talking the merging of Disney+ and Hulu, and Delta's new partnership with Crunchyroll to offer anime on flights.
