The History of Cheating in Video-Games
Aim lock yourself in a room and listen as Holden goes through the entire history of cheating in video games and discusses the different kinds of cheating that happen. This one gets deep into tech talk but also the moral dilemma we all face when we ask if cheating is okay if it makes a game more fun (yes it is and yes it does) and when does it all go too far?Want even more Nerd of Mouth?

The Nerds got their Revenge, now what? That’s what comedians Holden McNeely, Mike Lawrence, and Jake Young are trying to figure out in the weekly combination tribunal/confessional “Nerd of Mouth.” Recorded from the dankest basement in the “Last Podcast on the Left” studios, we’re getting to the bottom of whether there’s more to life than any% WR videogame speedruns, limited edition action figures, and anime shows about ludicrously strong children beating each other up. Theme song by Grant Gordon, logo by Andy Kluthe.
