Why Do Black Girlfriends Always Get Written Out (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There's a pattern nobody names out loud. The Black girlfriend shows up, she's smart, she's capable, she has a whole life, and then the writers throw her away. Jardo and D'Marcus break down the disposable Black girlfriend trope. D'Marcus lays out a three question test for spotting it, then they run Amber from Invincible, Valerie Gray from Danny Phantom, Daisy from Static Shock, Iris West, and Storm and T'Challa through it. Turns out a lot of your favorites do not pass. Join the Black Geek Energy
The Wii Was the Last Great Nintendo Console, Fight Us (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nintendo picked the wrong week to test our patience. Jardo and D'Marcus go all the way in on the Switch 2, the pricing, and the Nintendo Direct that reheated old news like Star Fox Adventures. We get into the Wii being the last great Nintendo console, what actually got announced (Monster Hunter Wild, Persona 6, the new Kirby), and a Put You On for the anime short Pretty Please, I Don't Want to Be a Magical Girl, which somehow features a lead pipe beatdown. Follow Black Geek Energy so you never m

Michael tells how a Twitter invite turned into a seat at the table and introduces Lenore, his Bladesinger, an Eladrin wizard who thinks magic should be free and does not want to be in this party. They get into playing D&D's deepest megadungeon, an enemies to fri
Rant Day: What Grinds Our Gears ft. Black and Snerdy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We linked up with Ode and Mo from the Black and Snerdy Podcast, dropped the positivity, and turned it into Rant Day, where everybody airs out what really grinds their gears. Jardo goes off on fake job interviews that cancel the position the day after they contact you. D'Marcus is still not over the MCU erasing Kang and he's seeing Doomsday anyway, complaining the whole way. And Mo makes the case that GTA 6 is about to become the excuse the industry uses to kill physical media for good, games and
