This week the Nerds Assemble Podcast team tackled: the passing of Hiroshi Yamauchi; Alan Moore being accused as the true source of the Northampton Clown; why people shouldn’t position Xbox Ones vertically; Ben Affleck on fan reactions… and we discuss what makes for a good spin-off from television to film, videogames and everything inbetween.

Listen here now.

    Another key to a good spin off is having at least one of the original characters in. Like with DS9, where they had O’Brian or Cordelia with Angel. I don’t think it works as well if you grab an entirely new cast.
