Boy oh boy, we’ve got some big news my dear little nerds and nerdettes. An icon of evil (or two) has returned from the dead, the video game movie race heats up and Sony strikes a blow against used game sales. Also, it’s time to start making the hard decisions about what you’re going to see at this year’s San Diego Comicon and whether or not to go as Zombie Sailor Moon or get away with just sporting Jayne’s Hat. All this and hot Dwarf photos in this week’s Nerd News Roundup!
Games
- Remember those old Tex Avery cartoons where you see a woman with an amazing body and voice but her face is covered and the wolf fights to win her over and then he finds she has a wrecked face? Yeah, it’s like that.
- Nintendo could rely more on third party online platforms instead of their own. Somehow I don’t think this will end well.
- Let’s talk about something important! Put that online feature down!! Online’s for new purchases only. Do you think I’m fucking with you? I am not fucking with you.
- “Conan, What is best in life?” “To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you and to gain a new influx of new subscribers.”
- Why use a sledgehammer when a scalpel will do?
Comics
- No more PSP comics. Ok, you can have a few Archies and B.C. but then that’s it.
- Have you been craving poor perspectives, pained expressions, questionable feet and a copious amount of pouches?
- Not only will it keep bullies from kicking sand in your face but you’ll be able to remove said bully’s foot and shove it right up their ass.
- Osama Bin Laden lives!(At least until the huge crossover event where everyone dies and the status quo is changed)
- Here is your full programming schedule for Wednesday and Thursday the 2011 San Diego Comicon. How do they expect you to choose between the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Panel and a WWE action figure Retrospective? HOW?!
Movies
- Expect at least half of the movie to involve driving around, looking for minerals and probes.
- If you’re experiencing Dark Knight withdrawals, perhaps this will tide you over.
- Tatooine has changed, man.
- Oooh, they are so like the Jonas Brothers of Middle Earth! Sign me up for Team Dori!
- Another Blockbuster Game gets itself a fancy movie director. Please don’t let marketing call it “Tomb Raider meets Indiana Jones.” That’s all I ask.
