Nerds from around the globe (especially Nerdopeans), gather round and feast your eyes on this week’s tales of tragedy and triumph. This week comicdom lost one of it’s pioneering artists and a the studio that dared to lead us into the uncanny valley is hell to work for. Meanwhile, a Superhero icon shows us her bloomers and a director put his money and explosions where his mouth is. This is the Nerd News Roundup!
Games
- If you think I’m going to start paying attention to your ‘intendo or exbox, you have another thing coming, young man.
- Why reboot when you can re-release?
- If you love long hours, verbal abuse, weak leadership, an unsympathetic boss, a high turnover rate and video games I have the job for you!
- Follow UP: The International Game Developers Association will investigate claims at Team Bondi. They can expect lots of pacing back and forth until the controller starts vibrating.
- I’m very sorry about this Star Wars Galaxies but I need you to clean out your desk. No, take the card game too.
- Oh come on, it’s not like you were doing anything Friday nights anyway.
- What if we gave you 20 free samples of crack before you were charged?
Comics
- Rest in Peace, Gene Colan.
- “The time has come,” the Walrus said, “for a proper level of Snark.”
- Maybe she heard how much people hated her outfit. She’s allowed to change her mind, you know.
- Five free digital comics every week? Sorry, I was distracted by the idea that a Super Soldier eats at Dunkin’ Donuts.
- Have you ever wanted to see Megaman/Godzilla/Dracula fan art in 1080p? The San Diego Comicon thought you’d say “yes.”
Movies
- Sometimes being The Dark Knight isn’t enough. Sometimes you’ve got to… compensate.
- I hope you’re sitting down because someone just said this is Michael Bay’s best movie. Even better than Bad Boys 2.
- Christopher Meloni is not going to shave his head. He will, however, consider a “high and tight.”
- I can say with some degree of certainty that you are “too old for this shit.”
- It would be a crime to let this languish in obscurity.
That’s all for now. Tune in next time where we will journey into the unknown… probably.
