Nerd News Roundup: Gross Boy Hour

Hola! Today our news is going to cover boys; gross, nasty and potentially Cootie-infected boys. Sure, some of us clean up well and you girls might even LIKE a few of us but underneath it all, there lies a fart factory with cheeto-dusted fingers who has considered Febreeze a perfectly reasonable alternative to doing laundry. Today we honor those brave guardians of gross, those knights of nasty and those sentinels of sick.  There are boys covered in (or becoming) mud. We’ve got boys that manage to turn everything into one huge mess after another. We even have one boy so eager to play a video game that he wanted to be born right on the convention floor. All this and we introduce DC Comics’ newest intern in this week’s NERD.  NEWS.  ROUNDUP.

Gaming

  • Even your unborn children are excited about The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim.
  • Things have gotten so bad at Team Bondi that all arbitration has been replaced with the Thunderdome.
  • Investors to Nintendo: Everyone else jumped off the bridge, why can’t you?
  • If you want to play Battlefield 3 you have to use Origin, the Un-Steam.
  • Now, screaming at your Nintendo WiiU might be considered gameplay.

Comics

  • Is it Spider-Man or Johnny Storm or both? Marvel can’t seem to make up their mind about the Fantastic Four.
  • In this completely original tale, an awkward teenage boy discovers he has very messy super powers.
  • If you believe they are going to replace Thor with this guy, especially after a huge movie and an upcoming one, I have a cube of immeasurable power to sell you.
  • R. Crumb will not be attending your festival if you’re gonna be rude about it.
  • You should email this story to your mom/wife/girlfriend if they threw out your collection. Don’t comment. Just give them the link.

Television

  • I’m pretty sure Fargo is to blame for the cancellation as well.
  • This season on television, fairy tales are the new vampires.

Movies

  • Well, at least the series is ending before we’re subjected to a Batboat or Batpogo stick. Chances are, this jet won’t get dropped by a single gunshot.
  • If you had the chance to prevent the Kennedy Assassination, would you? Guess you’ll find out on 11/22/63.
  • Eddie Murphy is Hong Kong Phooey. I don’t have a joke prepared. That’s actually happening.
