Two men walk in from opposite directions in the barren Nevada desert. Neither has a hat or a gun. Both have something more interesting: handheld gaming devices. As two men in the desert are wont to do, they start a podcast. It’s called Expedition: Handheld.
PCWorld’s Adam Patrick Murray is teaming up with a fellow handheld expert, Russ Crandall from Retro Game Corps, to make a show all about handhelds for The Full Nerd Network. Expedition: Handheld will cover the exploding handheld gaming segment, which has evolved from a handful of retro emulating gadgets into the fastest-growing segment in the PC market.
And to be clear, this experiential show will cover more than just the Steam Deck and its various competitors — anything that can play games in your hand is fair game. Smaller, more affordable Linux- and Android-based emulators have a huge and growing following, and if you like one side of the market you’re probably at least interested in the other. The format will be a little less technical, a little more casual, covering news and just what the guys have been using and playing lately.
The first episode is dropping this Saturday, February 28th. You can tune in live, and join us over on The Full Nerd Discord to be a part of the show. As always, be sure to check out The PCWorld channel for the latest news and reviews on PC hardware, The Full Nerd for our weekly show, and watch Dual Boot Diaries if you want to dive into running Linux.
