Hey Everyone! It’s time to pull on that “vintage” Green Lantern, grab your pull lists, select your favorite deck and head on down to our little shop of wonders. Right now we’ve got a special on a few choice selections. Right here we’ve got a potential new series based on a romantic adventure from the 80’s. Over here, we’ve got a completely unnecessary remake of a Spanish horror story. And this right here happens to be a weird crossover of Halo and Top Gear. Didn’t see that one coming did you? Well, take your time and let me know if you need anything. We’ve got all this and a super-powered girl fight at this week’s Nerd News Roundup!
Gaming
- Upset by the 3DS price drop? Nintendo wants to make it up to you, especially you Ice Climber fans.
- HAY GUYZ! COULD SUMONE HALP ME OUT AND GET THE STOCK MARKETZ GOING SO I CAN GET THE SUPER ZYNGA STOCK? K THX BYE!
- Sony is primed to take the lead in ensuring you never get laid again by releasing VR goggles.
- Here, Jeremy Clarskson describes Halo’s Warthog as seen in Forza 4. I’ve checked this several times and it’s not a typo. There is a Warthog in Forza 4.
Comics
- Flash Gordon is a two-timing manwhore who just might save every one of us.
- The Blackest Terror is kicking Klan ass and taking names. He now knows there are at least 7 different variations on the name “Bubba”.
- Don’t worry about Magic the Gathering’s feelings. It’s moved on, been working out AND it’s getting a new comic miniseries.
- The Valkyrie goes toe-to-toe with Sin in Marvel’s Fearless. Who do you choose: The one with bad skin and daddy issues or the one that’s crazy religious and obsessed with death?
Television
- By your powers combined, I am DON CHEADLE!
- Death Valley is what happens 9 months after The Walking Dead gets ridiculously drunk, maybe snorts a little coke and then takes home a meth-addled Reno 911.
- If Romancing the Stone can get a TV series, surely Remo Williams can’t be far behind.
- AMC looks to bolster their current geek cred by developing reality series focusing on Kevin Smith’s comic book store. Rooftop hockey season thrown into doubt as a result.
Movies
- Oh you fancy, Superman. And you go to the same tailor as Spider-Man from the looks of it.
- Ameri-Remaking a film like The Orphange 4 years after it was released it a bit like serving someone authentic and delicious Spanish Cuisine only to turn around and offer them Taco Bell 4 years later.
- The Wolverine gets a rewrite. Translation: This will likely not be a good movie.
- Oh you thought you dodged a bullet and Pride and Predjudice and Zombies was without a director. Well I have some bad news.
All right, it’s closing time. Come back next time when we learn how to tell when your mom is a Skrull.
