My fellow Nerdmericans, this week I bring you news of lawsuits that verge on cheating. I bring you news of clothing for cats and superheroes alike. Unfortunately, I also bring you news of the death of a beloved figure and the untimely demise of a career barely started. But put down your Bat’leth, there’s no reason to commit Hegh’bat just yet. I also bring you news of new shows that will numb the pain. All these stories and more in this week’s NERD NEWS ROUNDUP!
Games
- It is a bit shameful to get hacked by a group called Lulzsec. That’s just a “ks” away from Troll Porn.

Movies
- Ian McShane: Saloon Owner, Pirate, leader of dwarves.
- Spielberg is unsurprisingly not a fan of Godwin’s Law.
