    Our Conversation with Arsene Lakpa 2
    2026/05/06


    We got Arsene Lakpa from the Player Player podcast in the building, and he comes in talking fatherhood, hitting a 225 bench, celebrating his wife, and somehow we still arguing about a dairy free birthday cake like it’s a court case. Life updates one minute, chaos the next.

    Then it’s straight into BGE mode. “Put You On” goes crazy with anime and manga picks, from Baki to some deep cuts you probably never heard of. After that, D’Marcus runs a blind anime ranking game and everybody starts folding under pressure. Mecha, isekai… nobody leaves looking smart.

    We also get into One Piece remake concerns, JoJo drama, and the kind of debates that will have you yelling at your phone like you’re part of the episode.

    Arsene really brings that Player Player energy too. Real life, real opinions, and just enough chaos to keep it fun.

    Tap in. This one funny, a little wild, and lowkey informative.

  • It's Electric!

    It's Electric!
    2026/03/25
    Gaming nostalgia, comic book debates, and Black nerd culture collide in this episode of Black Geek Energy. Jardo and D’Marcus talk about some of their favorite brutal video game bosses from Kingdom Hearts, Legend of Dragoon, and Dark Souls, while breaking down how the internet changed gaming forever. Walkthroughs and guides might give you the answers, but the real question is whether that actually makes games easier—or if players still have to put in the work to beat them.The conversation also dives into classic Pokémon Red strategy debates (Charmander vs. Bulbasaur), dream Pokémon teams, and the way gaming communities used to figure things out before YouTube and Reddit existed.Then things get deeper when the guys notice a pattern in comics: a lot of Black superheroes seem to have electric powers. From Black Lightning to Static and even the lightning visuals associated with Storm, they ask the real question—coincidence, cool visual design, or something bigger in how Black heroes are written? The discussion turns into a broader look at representation, power stereotypes, and how comic book history shaped the heroes we see today. ⚡Join the Black Geek Energy community and never miss an episode, newsletter, or bonus content:Subscribe to the Black Geek Energy Newsletter (Substack)Support the Show on PatreonShop Black Geek Energy MerchEmail your questions to blackgeekenergy@gmail.comFollow Black Geek Energy Everywhere:YouTube @blackgeekenergyTikTok @blackgeekenergyInstagram @blackgeekenergyThreads @blackgeekenergyBluesky @blackgeekenergyTwitter @bge_podFacebook @blackgeekenergySpill @blackgeekenergyTwitch @blackgeekenergyMusic Produced by @prodbyffsmikeSupport Our SponsorExperience the transformative benefits of therapy with the world's largest network of experienced and credentialed therapists, available to you whenever you need it the most.

  • In Defense of Easy Mode

    In Defense of Easy Mode
    2026/03/18
    Jardo and D'Marcus are back with an episode dedicated to the culture of gaming! The fellas kick things off with D'Marcus's recent travels and Jardo showing off his new Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra before diving into a hilarious video game trivia challenge where they guess games based on wild plot summaries. From Super Mario Bros. and Pokemon to God of War and Halo, they're testing their gaming knowledge and reminiscing about the titles that shaped their love for the medium.The real debate heats up when they tackle the controversial topic of easy modes in video games and whether every game needs one. D'Marcus argues that while accessibility is important, certain games like Dark Souls are built around difficulty as part of the core experience. They discuss balancing accessibility for players with physical or cognitive impairments without compromising challenging gameplay, how modern games prioritize accessibility and replayability compared to the brutally difficult games of the 1980s and 1990s, and whether developers should shorten 100+ hour games or if players need to just make time for epic experiences. Plus, they share their favorite video game bosses, discuss game modifications and cheat codes, touch on Baldur's Gate 3, and debate the perfect length for a video game in 2026.Join the Black Geek Energy community and never miss an episode, newsletter, or bonus content:Subscribe to the Black Geek Energy Newsletter (Substack)Support the Show on PatreonShop Black Geek Energy MerchEmail your questions to blackgeekenergy@gmail.comFollow Black Geek Energy Everywhere:YouTube @blackgeekenergyTikTok @blackgeekenergyInstagram @blackgeekenergyThreads @blackgeekenergyBluesky @blackgeekenergyTwitter @bge_podFacebook @blackgeekenergySpill @blackgeekenergyTwitch @blackgeekenergyMusic Produced by @prodbyffsmikeSupport Our SponsorExperience the transformative benefits of therapy with the world's largest network of experienced and credentialed therapists, available to you whenever you need it the most.
