Codex 030: Dragons and Death
Dec 20, 2024Tap to summarize🎧Listen to Codex on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube Music, Pocket Casts, or RSS. This week's episode is about Nevarra, a city-state turned nation in central Thedas and home to the Mourn Watch. Mostly untouched by Dragon Age's extended media, we dig into the history, culture, and unique beliefs of the home to dragon hunters and necromancy.I promise, we're building to something here.LinksThe First Transformers Theme was Wildly ConfusingFind us online: gordonhamburger.comFollow Phil: @Phil.gordonhamburger.com on BlueskyFollow Logan: OFFLINEListen to Nicholas Cahill on soundcloud.com/ncahill-1030 Nevarra0:00/4290.1420408163271×
Transcribe →Codex 029: The Dragon Age Calendar
Dec 13, 2024Tap to summarize🎧Listen to Codex on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube Music, Pocket Casts, or RSS. Remember last episode when we said it would be ludicrous to do an episode on a fantasy calendar?Here's our episode on Dragon Age's Chantry calendar system.We talk about how the ages are decided, discuss the merits of a year zero, and mention some important events in those 850+ years. Will those dates be incredibly relevant to our next two episodes? Who could say, but there's at least two dates mentioned that will be tangentially important, so really it's all worth it.LinksFind us online: gordonhamburger.comFollow Phil: @Phil.gordonhamburger.com on BlueskyFollow Logan: OFFLINEListen to Nicholas Cahill on soundcloud.com/ncahill-1029 The Dragon Ages0:00/2983.96734693877531×

Dec 9, 2024Tap to summarizeHey there, Phil here. I recently published a new video on our Youtube channel about how I played Starfield wrong. Since I end up posting videos so rarely (and I think they work just as well as audio), I'm publishing them to our main feed here.

Dec 6, 2024Tap to summarize🎧Listen to Codex on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube Music, Pocket Casts, or RSS. If you thought last week's episode about blue lyrium got weird and wild, wait 'til you check out the red stuff! That's right, today we're talking about Dragon Age's other glowing colored rock: Red Lyrium! Listen to this episode, where in we answer such profound questions as why red?, What it do?, it bad?, and if a person in a dark alley were to offer me some of that "good red" should you take some?

Transcribe →Codex 027: Lyrium
Nov 22, 2024Tap to summarizeThis episode does NOT feature discussion of anything in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.Phil has Dragon Age fever and also likes rocks. So, let's spend the better part of an hour talking about rocks, metal, and...fantasy drugs? Listen, this started out as a fun chat about a cool glowing rock and descended a bit into a massive continent-spanning church having an economic and military stranglehold on a particular miracle substance. That's probably fine, right?LinksFind us online: gordonhamburger.comFollow Phil: threads.net/@philbothunFollow Logan: OFFLINEListen to Nicholas Cahill's music on soundcloud.com/ncahill-1Jeporite Youtube Channel027 Lyrium0:00/2894.0277551020411×

Nov 15, 2024Tap to summarizeIt's been a week, huh? We're taking a mental health break, but podcasts never stop! So, instead of our usual programming, we present a supercut of our bright spot segment, featuring six months of things that made us happy. Hopefully this episode makes you happy too.
