King of the Nerds: An Authentic and Entertaining Reality Show

Peter Rubi discusses a reality show on TBS called King of the Nerds. He explains that the show is not what people initially expect since it is made by the same people who hosted it, Curtis Armstrong and Robert Carradin, who are famous for their roles in Revenge of the Nerd. The show features a range of nerdy individuals from hackers to scientists to fantasy writers. Peter argues that the challenges are well-done and not exploitative or stereotypical. He encourages people to watch the show since it is entertaining and showcases the love for nerd culture.

Third Man Record’s Releases of Early Delta Blues Artists

Peter talks about Jack White’s record label, Third Man Record, and their introduction of releases of the first three volume of the first volume of three artists in their complete recorded work series. He explains that the series features early Delta Blues artists and is produced in conjunction with UK-based label Document Record. The musicians featured in the series include Charlie Patton, Blind Willie McTell, and Mississippi Sheik, who were well-curated and well-compiled. Peter notes that the series is great for fans of early blues, and vinyl is also available for fans of vinyl.

Little Inferno: A Puzzle Game with a Satirical Message

Peter discusses a new game on the iOS App Store called Little Inferno by the makers of World of Go. He explains that the game simulates a fireplace where you buy toys and burn them, and uses puzzle gameplay where you combine clues to unlock the next level. Peter argues that the subtext is satirical, taking aim at the popular Zynga model in games like Farmville that force you to buy things in the game to progress. He notes that the game is well-suited for iOS and is an enjoyable experience.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Peter Rubi discusses the authentic and enjoyable experience people can have watching King of the Nerds, listening to the releases of early Delta Blues artists from Third Man Record, and playing the satirical puzzle game Little Inferno on iOS. He encourages people to check out these experiences and appreciate them for what they offer.
