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

Welcome to another installment of the NOLAnerdcast Comic Book Podcast everyone! This is the week I realized how much I enjoy doing this every week, as I dragged myself out from death's door to buy comics and record this show. Hopefully you can't tell! This week ended up being rather brief, with no episode of Agents of SHIELD and a quick and breezy selection of comics to discuss. So join NOLAnerds Matt "Dot Now Dot INH" Finneman and Chris "Storm's A Tramp" Robinson as they talk comics all day every day.

It's the end of the year and the end of an era folks. With next gen in full swing and selling like hot cakes, we begin to say goodbye to the current gen. But it will be going out in style if 2014 has anything to say about it! Not much went down this month, either in the way of news or game releases, but we are here anyway! From the cringe worthy escapades of the Spike VGX awards to another eventful Nintendo Direct, from Peggle 2 to Gran Turismo 6, we discuss it all! So join NOLAnerds Matt "Cranky About Cranky" Finneman, Chris "Lover of Kingdom Hearts Lore" Robinson, and Ronald "Mecha Kyuubi" Bienemy as they talk and then talk some more!

Episode 110 son! Thats kind of a milestone right? I like to think so. If not, oh well. This episode was filled with quality comics as well as lots of good natured hating on NOLAnerd Chris. Because if there is one thing we love to do here at NOLAnerdcast, it's make fun of Chris for all of his mistakes. The jerk. This week we had a bevy of Marvel books, welcomed Harley Quinn to the lighter side of the New 52, as well as speculate on when the comic book film bubble will burst. So join NOLAnerds Matt "Totally Schooled Chris" Finneman, and Chris "Got Totally Schooled" Robinson as they tell you about all of that and more!

What's this? What do we mean by saying episode 25.2? What is this madness? Well dear friends, this month is a special month. A month eight years in the making. This month not only saw the usual assortment of gaming news and the massive amounts of games November always brings, but this time we also were graced by TWO major next gen system releases.

In this, part 2 of our show, we discuss the games of the month. The Playstation 4 launch games. The Xbox One launch games. And all of the other games of the month. So join NOLAnerds Matt "A Link Between the Past" Finneman, Chris "Mario Party Afficionado" Robinson, and Ronald "Ms. Zurkon" Bienemy as they break it all down for you.
