NieR Replicant & Automata: Armchair academic Series

Streaming Tuesdays & Thursdays @ 6:00 PMCT

In a world crumbling under the weight of memory and meaning, one professor blindly takes the journey everyone has urged him to—welcome to the ProfNoctis NieR Armchair Academics series!

Every stream, we dive into the haunting worlds of NieR Replicant and NieR Automata—experiencing them completely blind for the first time. From tragic sidequests to mind-bending narrative twists, each stream invites you to laugh, cry, and reflect in real-time with Prof. Plus, we’ll flex intellect as we play as… “Armchair Academics!”

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles

Streaming Tuesdays @ 7:30 PM CT (following the Nier segment)

Step into the war-torn world of Ivalice as we explore one of the most politically and philosophically rich stories ever told in gaming. In this Lecture Play series, ProfNoctis takes you deep into the heart of Final Fantasy Tactics—a tale of betrayal, corruption, faith, and the price of truth.

Through weekly 90-minute lecture-plays, we’ll unpack real-world parallels to medieval history, church reform, class conflict, and the canonization of sacred texts—all through the lens of Ramza Beoulve’s journey from noble pawn to revolutionary truth-seeker.

Perfect for:
-Fans of history, religion, and political theory
-Story-driven gamers craving moral complexity
-Viewers who love to debate real-world questions through game narratives
