Episode 9

This is a bonus episode! "The Legend of Gnarpig", as discussed in the previous episode (Episode 8), in its audio entirety! The show official starts at the 7 minute 20 second mark after a brief "catch up" with a weirdly down-trodden Wes?? I guess Gnarpig's magnificence took it out of him for this one. The Legend lives on! "Gnarpig! Go out those doors to your left and you can shoot them!.........Nevermind." 

Bonus Ep. : The Legend of Gnarpig

Wes, Brian, and our special guest Epi from Platformers.net have a Holiday extravaganza, including a behind-the-scenes breakdown of a Nitrobeard legend....The Legend of Gnarpig. Also, we do some Q&A with the Nitrobeard audience, including questions about: GameTrailer's "10 best fighting games" list, Red vs. Blue, the future of MMOs (circa 2008!), and more!  FUN FACT: One of the Nitrobeard listeners that sent in questions for this episode is none other than Marco 'Nerd In The Bay' Flores (MarcoStryder), who would go on to work with Wes Gardner in a variety of projects, including Power Hour, Brothering Around, and multiple Let's Play projects.
