In this week's episode of the podcast, the Nerds return with two great topics: Extremophiles and the Brown-Stigler incident. Extremophile is a term covering a fairly broad swath of creatures. All of them can thrive in conditions originally thought to be completely inhospitable, and all of them are really, really cool! You'll have to listen to Jonah's topic to find out more, though. The Brown-Stigler incident is an oddity among tales from the war, but certainly a welcome one. I now love Ye Olde Pub, and I'm a teetotaler!

In the 52nd episode of the Rambling Nerds podcast, Cirdan tells us about Team Fortress 2, a highly popular FPS from 2007. TF2 is a classic when it comes to team based shooters, but unfortunately, despite having a booming player base, it is currently in the roughest state is has ever been in thanks to an outdated anti-cheat, and an obscene amount of bots infesting lobbies. Later, Jonah teaches us about Antarctica, the southern-most point on the planet. Being one of the coldest and driest places on the Earth, Antarctica is an extremely interesting location, and there may just be more about it that you didn't know. After this episode, there will be no episode the week after, due to personal situations getting in the way of recording.

 Welcome back to another episode of Rambling Nerds! This week, our episode opens up with Jonah telling us about cattle. While most people just know cattle for being humanities source of beef (and most milk), there is actually quite a bit more to the animals.  This topic will go over everything, from their history and evolution, to the different types of cattle, and what each type is used for. Once we are done talking about cattle, Cirdan introduces us to Void Bastards, a survival roguelike shooter set in a nebula full of destroyed ships, in which stranded inmates must explore wreckages for precious salvage that will allow them to escape to safety.
