Episode Conclusion

And game over, man. I hope you had fun. We haven’t done a video game trivia episode since Super Mario. And before that it was quite a while. Let me know on DorkyGeekyNerdy.com or on social media what video game franchise we should cover next. I have a couple on my to-do list, but I’m curious if there are any I’m missing.

Next week, I’ll have another episode. Here’s a clue for what you can expect:

What serialized animated series debuted February 21, 2005 on Nickelodeon?

It’s a little vague, but it was quite popular back in the day and still has quite a following now. See you back here next Wednesday.

This was episode 241 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast.

The theme music was provided by Jason Shaw at Audionautix.com.

I’m your host, producer, and writer, Brian Rollins. You can find me at TheVoicesInMyHead.com.

Thanks for listening.

    Advertising Slogan Trivia
    byBrian Rollins

    Hold on to your wallet because I’m about to throw some well-honed marketing at you. This week, It’s advertising slogan trivia. I’ll give you the slogan used by a major brand and you have to tell me which brand used it. That’s right, you should have been paying attention to the commercials. And why wouldn’t you, after all the money they spent on delivering these messages to you.
