Hello, good people of Nerdsylvania! I know that I’m preaching to the choir when I tell you that nerds come in all colors, shapes, genders, sizes and levels of cleanliness. But, sometimes it’s necessary to have a bit of a refresher course every now and then. That’s why this installment is so important. This week we learn that DC still loves the ladies, Spider-Man has a brand new enemy, The Game of Thrones welcomes a new resident or two and something about Perry White is different. All this and the Demon King of England in this week’s NERD NEWS ROUNDUP!

Howdy readers! Some of you will go see Cowboys & Aliens while an unfortunate few will get dragged off to see the Smurfs by your children or a nostalgic and soon-to-be ex. Some of you might be at home sorting your Whale’s Vagina Comic Con swag into the “Keeper” and “eBay” piles. Some of you might even be deciding whether it’s classier to drink Scotch or Wine while playing Team Fortress 2 (the answer is Scotch, btw). Whatever you do this weekend, one thing is for certain: You need nerdy news.
Guess what? I have nerdy news. This week, Madden 12 gives you a 2nd chance, Martin Luther rears his ugly head, Dinosaurs are everywhere and another boardgame gets a movie in this week’s Nerd News Roundup!

Well hello there my droogs. As promised, and because you’ve been such good little nerds and nerdettes, I’ve collected up bits and pieces of news that came out of Comicon this weekend. But wait, there’s more! I couldn’t just start up a weekend edition that was more of the same great article you receive during the week. What fun would that be? So, let’s give a hearty NNR welcome to the brand new TV section! Considering all the sci-fi and fantasy programming hitting the airwaves this fall, it only makes sense. This weekend, Snow White gets serious, The Man In Black voices his concerns, Cable isn’t dead and a horror icon returns in this special Weekend Edition of the Nerd News Roundup!
Friends, we have made it to the big dance. The convention of conventions. Comic Con International, AKA the San Diego Comicon AKA, “Hover Hands Central” is upon us. If you’re lucky enough to be in San Diego may I be the first to say, “I envy you” and suggest you read N*E*R*D’s stellar series: How Not to Be A Jerk At Comic-Con, a three part series on good behavior in the nerdiest place on earth. After you’ve completed that and counted at least 5 Dark Knight Jokers, 3 Power Girls and at least one Cardboard Gundam, come back here and catch up on the news you missed on the floor before you head out and try to hit on She-Hulk.
For the rest of you, welcome to the Pity Party. You’re probably already glue to every website, blog, and begrudgingly to G4 (and maybe one episode of Cheaters) but I’m here to pick out the juiciest bits from Day 1. This week we learned that Universal hates books and puppies, the IT Department is up to something and you really really need to do a barrel roll in this week’s GIANT SIZED Nerd News Roundup!

Good news everyone! Besides hearing the previous sentence in Professor Farnsworth’s voice, I’ve also found a fresh batch of the nerdiest news around. This week, we’re going to learn that you really should just grow up and one woman completely unwilling to do so. We’ll unlock the “secret” of Marvel’s upcoming comics. And finally, we’ll take a look at some coming attractions. All this and Godzilla in this week’s Nerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrd News Roundup!
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!
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!
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!

Nerds! Your drought of nerd-centric news ends today! You’re already getting great, hard-hitting news about the real world courtesy of Newsbunny, but what about the news that really matters? What is really going on at DC Comics? What’s going on with the next wave of consoles? What movies should you obsessively tweet about for the next 6 months? Nerd News Roundup has you covered.
Once upon a time, in April of 2010, author and screenwriter Neil Gaiman was approached by the good folks at Stillwater, Minnesota’s library to come and speak, presumably about writing and the like. While he has been known to speak publicly from time to time, he’d much rather spend his days writing, so his agency asked for a kingly sum.
