Whether or not we want to admit it or not, all of us nerds have a soft spot for anime. It’s a guilty pleasure for us all. Most anime fans will admit they are a little out there and I’d believe majority of the nerd community would agree that anime tends to be a subculture [...]
The release of Iron Man 3 this weekend marks the beginning of summer blockbuster movie season more importantly, the summer of comic book-inspired blockbusters. As expected Tony Stark and Co. should break records with ticket sales and will likely be challenged by the next few weeks’ crop of movies. As far as summer movies go, [...]
I recently got back into Fable 3. Fable 3 escalated the Fable franchise to new heights, but faltered tremendously with its ending. Having one of the worst boss battles and endings I’ve ever had to play through. How could such a wonderful game give me gaming blue-balls like that? It isn’t fair, not fair at [...]
A co-worker and I recently had a discussion about some of our favorite heroes and villains from the DC Universe. It was all sparked off a debate from an article we read on the Top DC villains, an article which we both found a touch poor to put it lightly. So, naturally our nerd conversation [...]
An interesting topic of conversation got started at work this week. Some co-workers and I started a small discussion on exchanging lives with our favorite video game characters. What startled us during our conversation was how difficult it was for us to decide on one to be. As soon as you begin cycling through your [...]
I recently saw the newest James Bond film, Skyfall, and during my enjoyment watching Bond kick-ass and taking names, I couldn’t help but ponder where on Earth do these bad guys find these henchmen? How exactly does a person become a henchman? What inspires a person to commit themselves to violence for a villain, a [...]
We all love Superheroes. All of us fans fall in love with them for one reason or another; typically we’re drawn to their origin or, more importantly, the origin of their superpower. However, the other night some friends and I had the discussion about some of the worst superpowers to have. Naturally, I’ve taken it [...]
As most of us have heard by now, Disney bought the rights to LucasFilm earlier this week. Disney has already announced a Star Wars VII slated for a 2015 release. When I heard this news I immediately went to my center for biased, unfiltered opinions and news, better known as Twitter. I was a bit [...]
With the President Election roaring through this month and Election Day right around the corner, I’ve been thinking: neither candidate has impressed me, nor has either one produced anything remotely entertaining during his campaign, so with this rather mundane election I’ve decided to take a different approach to my voting process. I’ve decided to write-in [...]
First and foremost I’d like to apologize to my adoring fans for my recent absence on the site. I reluctantly challenged myself to three weeks of sobriety and let me tell you, it was the most boring time of my life. That being said, I’m glad to be back with a bottle of Sam Adams’ [...]
Like the start of most of my ideas, I was sitting down drinking an ice-cold beer, playing some Xbox (Borderlands 2 to be specific) when I thought to myself there’s quite a few games they should really, I mean really, make into movies. We’ve seen some success with video-game turned movie franchises like Resident Evil [...]
As I announced in last week’s article, I recently had my convention cherry popped. Along with experiencing my first ever comic convention I also happened to experience my first hands-on experience with Cosplay. I heard of Cosplay and was aware of it before, but seeing it first-hand and then trying to explain such an act [...]
My palms are sweating, my feet are tapping uncontrollably, and my body is pumping with adrenaline because this lucky lad will be attending his first ever comic convention this morning. That’s right the Drunken Nerd will be taking over the Baltimore Comic Con today, but to be honest I’m a bit nervous. After all, I’m [...]
As promised I’ve followed up last week’s article with my selections for a DC football team. I’ve got to be honest, selecting this team was much harder than last week’s Marvel team. I felt like an actual coach trimming down the roster, analyzing certain picks and shuffling around heroes to find the best fitted position [...]
Well it’s the end of summer and us Americans know what that means…football season is about to begin. So, I took it upon myself to have a little fun with it. I’ve decided to compile a Marvel and a DC football team together. This week I will introduce my picks for my Marvel team (including [...]
Remember when we were kids, fantasizing about our favorite superheroes and imagining ourselves with their powers? Well, now that I’m older I may daydream less, but once in awhile when I’m stuck in traffic I’ll sink back into my old childhood fantasies and picture myself with supernatural abilities. Only problem is now that I’m older [...]
The infamous Selina Kyle is scheduled to join an ever growing cast of characters in the highly anticipated Injustice: Gods Among Us game due out next year. Catwoman will be added to the 30+ character roster. Injustice is a joint Warner Brothers and NetherRealm production. The game will be a rather dark twist on our [...]
It’s nearly a month away from release and Gearbox continues to reveal teasers about the highly anticipated Borderlands 2. This is, I love Borderlands and I want to share it with someone, but they suck at first-person shooters. Can we make a skill tree that actually allows them to understand the game and to play [...]
When I started this column, I planned on trying to avoid a few certain clichés. Clichés like the one I’ve had to hear again and again over the past few weeks, eroding away at my previous rule and jeopardizing my no cliché argument policy. Yet, after a few shots of Drambuie, I’ve given in and [...]
The other night I was enjoying a good old-fashion Pabt’s Blue Ribbon while watching an adrenaline-packed classic, Commando. While watching Schwarzenegger duel-wielding machine guns and being a bad-ass I realized something unnerving…the action hero is dead. Let’s be honest, when’s the last time we saw an actor be the resident bad-ass, the over-the-top, shoots first [...]
