Beyond Good & Evil coming to XBLA
This February the cult classic, Beyond Good and Evil, makes a return to the console in HD. Although critically acclaimed, it was commercial flop, leaving those who did play the game clamoring for a sequel. And, unless you are content to play nothing but FPS-inspired sequels for the foreseeable future of disc-based games you’ll want to support the dwindling number of quality, novel experiences like this one.

Convention Memories: In the year 2008 everyone thought “twittering” meant masturbation.
I’m a convention nerd. I pretty much always have been. My first convention was at a local Holiday Inn in Fort Myers Florida. It featured “Q” from Star Trek the Next Generation and Buck Rogers star Erin Grey. I remember loving it, even though by today’s convention standards it was pretty awful. I’ve also managed to make it out to my fair share of Comic Cons in San Diego. For those that have not been, it’s the nerd version of the Hajj. Every once in a while you’ll luck out at a convention and capture a really amazing moment.
We are covering CES 2011!
While we won’t be at CES 2011 (sadly we have to work), we will be covering as much “nerd appropriate” content as we possibly can.
A tribute to M.O.D.O.K (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing)
Who is M.O.D.O.K, and why does he hold a special place in my nerdy heart? M.O.D.O.K the (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing) is a Marvel Comics super-villain that was created by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee way back in 1967. That makes M.O.D.O.K a whopping 43 years old! While M.O.D.O.K never became a super popular Marvel Comics villain his popularity has been slowing increasing over the years.

Mass Effect 2 final DLC dated… Sort of.
Hey all, it appears that the story of Mass Effect 2 is not quite over. I’ve been wanting to post about the new DLC for ages, but solid information was scarce, and speculative at best. All we had were tid-bits of infomation leaked onto the web by random devs who were mentioning things they probably weren’t at liberty to discuss. It was like decrypting the fucking Zodiac cypher.
Capcom, farming out Resident Evil?
“So, Capcom decided to farm out its licenses to Western developers. It was their hope that this formula would generate more cash, and some more western fans. The big problem is a lot of the “Capcom” games produced out of Japan received less than stellar reviews and no where near the quality of “actual” Capcom games. It was like putting a Ferarrai sticker on La Baron convertible and expecting people not to notice that they’re different cars.”
2011 Nerd T.V. Premiere Dates
We’ve been told a handful of times that we need to cover more T.V.. Sadly, due to my schedule I don’t get to watch as much T.V. as I’d like to. All attempts to clone myself in order to maximize efficiency have ended horribly. How horribly you ask? We’re talking inside-out Ashs flopping around in a pool of pink goo until they expire.. true story. Here is a list I complied of early 2011 premiere dates for new seasons, new shows, and mid-season replacements. Which ones will you be watching?
