NolaNerdCast
We're just a couple of guys from New Orleans who like talking about comics, video games, anime and movies!

Amidst a major week in gaming comes a major week of comics! This week was chock full of quality books from all angles - DC, Marvel, Image, BOOM, and Vertigo all bringing their A game. From the birth of a new God of War to the "return" of Daredevil, from the penultimate magic Forever Evil story to the poisoning of literary genres, it's all here today. So join NOLAnerds Matt "Bad Pun Machine" Finneman and Chris "Sure" Robinson as they break it all down for you.

The best thing about the video game industry is that you simply never know what will happen. What games will be announced? What game will emerge as a surprise hit? What expected blockbuster will flounder? This month gave us many great games, a few duds, and a lot of surprises. From Sony's continuing PS4 domination to the shocking shutdown of Irrational Games to the amazing Titanfall beta to everything in between, this month's show has it all. So join the NOLAnerds Matt "Nathan Drake Sonic" Finneman, Chris "Can't Feed His Villagers" Robinson, Ronald "Lightning Jesus" Bienemy, and Mason "Praise Helix" Maldonado as they talk games and talk it well.

Welcome to the latest episode of the NOLAnerdcast, world renowned (in our own minds) as the best unprofessionally professional comics podcast around! This week the NOLAnerds tackle the subject of Guardians of the Galaxy, welcome back the Metal Men, say goodbye to a run of Daredevil, and hit a milestone of the feels with Adventure Time. So join NOLAnerds Matt "Loves Dinosaur Hat Puns" Finneman and Chris "Fuck Off Eyebrows" Robinson as they talk comics and hate on each others' opinions.

All of that plus new installments of Arrow and Shield Watch as well as tons of comic reviews makes this one jam packed episode!

New year of video games folks! And with that new year comes a glut of new info and a dearth of new games. This month was ruled by Kickstarter, with several of the biggest releases being born from the community driven site last year or the year before. This month also brought us HUGE Playstation news from CES, a wealth of leaked info about Microsoft, numerous negative reports about Nintendo's financial future, as well as the reveal of the first wave of PC Steam Machines. So join NOLAnerds Matt "PS NOW" Finneman, Chris "Kingdom Hearts is the Devil" Robinson, Ronald "Lightning Lover" Bienemy, Mason "Understands the Kingdom Hearts Timeline" Maldonado, and Zack "Frames per Second Devil's Advocate" St. Onge as they discuss ALL THE THINGS!

So join NOLAnerds Matt "Team Gardner" Finneman and Chris "Gardner's 'Stache" Robinson as they talk comics and try to retain their warmth.
