Hello again, all!  My semester’s over, which means I can read whatever the hell I want for approximately the next three and half weeks!  Hoorah! Hopefully, this will also mean a few reviews, but I’ll tell ya’, lazy runs deep in unoccupied grad students…In any case, I have a three-fer for you today.  Between finishing …

In the annals of pro wrestling, few things ever are truly sacred. While things may be put on a pedestal in one era, they’re often forgotten in another as the pro wrestling industry evolves. For example: Frank Gotch was a legend in his time, yet most fans would be unable to pick him out of …

I knew what I was getting into when I decided to see this film. I’ve been accused before of being too high minded and unable to enjoy simple movies that rely mostly on spectacle. This is untrue, as I firmly believe they are some movies out there that are enjoyable mainly for the style and not …

As I continue to test the limits of human endurance via horrible cinema, I subjected myself to another dose of cinemasochism at the hands of the SyFy channel. Last time we were here, it was to face the Chupacabra, a rarely-used monster. This time however, it’s gonna be a bit more classic: werewolves. I’ll admit, …

By now I’m sure that the vast majority of gamers are well aware of the recent bankruptcy filing of THQ Inc, publishers of both the only licensed WWE games, as well as Saint’s Row and Company of Heroes. It’s honestly a little shocking to realize the level of mismanagement that had to have occurred to …

    I was really apprehensive about this one. The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre is pretty much Horror Royalty and when they announced that Hollywood was going to have another pop at Leather Face my initial reaction was a very long and slow eye roll. There were, of course, a short string of sequels, prequels …

Hi folks, if you didn’t notice I’m back (possibly with a vengeance) and to help celebrate my pseudo-triumphant return to Nerdtopiacast, I have come back with a fresh review of WWE ’13 by THQ. Much like herpes, pro wrestling is a constant presence in America which refuses to die. Also like herpes, there’s a certain …

Some games have strange premises, and others have REALLY strange premises. This one seems like something dreamed up by L. Ron Hubbard on a mescaline trip, in terms of pure insanity of plot. I’ll admit that the moment I heard this game existed, I had to check it out.  It’s partly due to my love …

Last time you heard me ranting about wrestling, it was giving you the rundown on Monday Night Raw’s current roster of superstars. This time, we’re going to move on to the other main show for the WWE, Friday Night Smackdown. While it’s not quite the flagship show that Monday’s is, it’s still a solid two …

There are some things that as a writer, and moreover as a human being, that I never want to have to write about, that I never even want to imagine writing about, because they’re so horrible and antithetical to what I so desperately wish mankind is capable of.  Yesterday’s craven terrorist attack at the Boston …

Hello, readers, I have a confession to make. I am not the poster child for why videogame censorship is wrong. My life is hardly a success story by anyone’s standards. I have learned exactly ZERO practical skills for everyday living from games. My lifelong gaming hobby has never netted me a dollar, nor did it …

Well, it’s finally here. After weeks of teases, here we are for the inaugural issue of American History X(-Men), a wild ride through the origins of Marvel Comics’ merry mutants, a veritable encyclopedia of Professor Charles Xavier’s greatest legacy. For those who followed me after last week’s gut wrenching finale to Catching Up is Hard …

    *Sigh* Well played Hollywood, well played. You managed to twist enough intrigue into the publicity for Warm Bodies that I set aside my utter contempt for your pussification of the Horror genre and gave it a go. You got me… well done… doesn’t mean I have to like it. The film centers around a …

  DAY 1. I worked late into the night. I walked every inch of my fence making sure that it was secure and not about to buckle the first time a zombie hit it. After that I boarded up the single pane windows I mentioned earlier (on both sides to be extra sure) and then …

Hi guys-you might have figured out that I’m a bit of a wrestling fan from my review of WWE ’13.  Well, in the neverending pursuit of expanding our NerdtopiaCast purview, starting in January, I will be doing a weekly review of the goings-on in the WWE Universe. (Specifically Raw and Smackdown, the flagship shows of the …

    Remember the short-lived Webcast called NerdtopiaScope that I co-hosted with my friend from Feral Goat Film, Doug? Well since we called time on the show, (lets face it, there’s a million and one Webcasts out there) Doug has been busy creating a new Web series. Very busy! Today saw the launch of our …

  Well it’s that time of year again and if you are anything like me, then you will be cringing and flinching like a Demon in the presence of an Angel every time someone says “Happy/Merry Christmas!” Ideally I would cleave these peoples heads in with an axe but seeing as “Society” doesn’t let me …

As we count down to the supposed apocalypse, time just seems to be flying by.  We’ve had a comparatively busy half-week here at NCast, with the announcement of another new series from Overlord Baserap, another big-time movie review from Greg McIver, and the continuation of the Overlord’s stellar “Potentially Fantastic Four” series. But enough about them; …
