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

Welcome to the NOLAnerdcast's Comic Book Podcast! The most comic book filled podcast to ever come out of New Orleans from two nerds named Matt and Chris. This is episode Sentret, officially making it the lamest episode since we started the Pokemon naming scheme. This week the NOLAnerds tackle the DC weeklies, enjoy the calm before the storm in Fables, be shocked that a new Sandman issue released, wonder why DC loves horrible viral outbreaks so much, marvel at Ms. Marvel, and bask in the glory of the other Marvel... Captain Marvel AKA Shazam. So join NOLAnerds Matt "Dubstep Man" Finneman and Chris "Hillbilly Marvel" Robinson as they talk shop.

The NOLAnerds are here with the third installment of their weekly comic book based TV recap show! Do we utilize our comics show theme of naming episodes after Pokemon?

Our itinerary included:

We were blessed with great game releases, but also plagued by the seemingly never ending world of GamerGate.  This month the nerds discuss that ongoing clusterfuck, chat about the info bomb that was Super Smash Bros Wii U, chat about the latest NPD sales figures and what that means for the holidays, and so much more! So join NOLAnerds Matt "Sunset Overjoyed" Finneman, Chris "Korra-licious" Robinson, Garrett "Trifecta" Platner, Zack "Mordor Salesman" St. Onge, Mason "Revelations 2" Maldonado, Ronald "Late to the Party" Bienemy, and Tim "Pokemaniac" Moseley as the talk about games and games and games!

With our 150th episode behind us, the NOLAnerds continue their never ending trudge towards the next great podcast milestone. And they do it in style this week, with several new debuts and crossovers and weeklies to discuss. We have also entered the full swing of TV season, with FOUR superhero shows to discuss. This week we hit up everything from new hipster Batgirl to the scary world of Scott Snyder's Wytches, to the classic Batman vs Justice League story, to a very magic and witch heavy week, to everything in between. So join NOLAnerds Matt "Justice Buster" Finneman and Chris "Cthullu's Bride" Robinson as they talk comics!

September is upon us! The summer drought has ended! Let the deluge of games BEGIN! This month brought us everything from the Tokyo Game Show to the release of the best selling new IP of all time, the highly anticipated Destiny and so much more! The NOLAnerds discuss the latest Naruto release, talk about the poor sales for great games on systems with small install bases, give their own opinions on the Destiny phenomenon, anticipate the new Shadows of Mordor game, and scratch their heads at the odd PS3 JRPG rush. So join NOLAnerds Matt "Sunsinger" Finneman, Chris "Naruto Eye Roll" Robinson, Ronald "Xillia" Bienemy, Mason "Needs A Vita" Maldonado, Zack "Shadows of Mordor Believer" St. Onge, and Andy "Smash Bro" Niemann as they talk shop!

We code named this episode Durango. It has nothing to do with the XBox One. Or the car. Or anything else named Durango. Name just sounds fun. This was a special week. Chris actually had more books than Matt! That never happens. This week the NOLAnerds tackled more five years later DC books, ventured once more into Multiversity, got a double dose of X-Men, welcomed back Deadly Class, and so much more! So join NOLAnerds Matt "Purple Reign" Finneman and Chris "Shuttered" Robinson as they talk comics.

Welcome to Episode 146, code named Cthullu. Why? Who even knows. Probably because 146 is a weird number for a title. But that has nothing to do with comics! This week the NOLAnerds dive head first into the opening week of DC's Future's End one shot initiative, where every issue is time skipped 5 years later and may or may not tie into the weekly ongoing, Future's End. We also are 'treated' to the finale of Original Sin, find out Prof X's actual original sin, and so much more! So join NOLAnerds Matt "Penny-One" Finneman and Chris "Human Bed" Robinson as they tackle the week in comics!

Wow. WOW guys. This month right here. Between the crazy highs of Gamescom 2014 and the Playstation Tokyo Game Show pre-show to the insane lows of the gaming community completely mishandling at best and being virulent and awful at the worst in regards to Zoe Quinn and Anita Sarkeesian, this has been one stacked month of gaming news. Gamer as a term became practically detrimental to our preferred hobby, Playstation knocked it out of the park at Gamescom, a handful of releases graced consoles as the world prepared itself for the onslaught of the holidays, and so much more! So join NOLAnerds Matt "That's So Fetch" Finneman, Chris "Saints Row 5ever" Robinson, Garrett "Sword Art Translation Error" Platner, Mason "Monokuma" Maldonado, and Zack "Tomb Raider Holiday" St. Onge as they try and tackle this massive news filled month in style!

The prodigal son returns as NOLAnerd Scott graces the show with both his presence and his dulcet tones in the latest episode of our comics show! The NOLAnerds are out in force this time as Matt and Chris chat about comics and fan favorite Scott hates on everyone and everything he deems worthy of his time. This week the NOLAnerds discover the latest Brubaker/Phillips masterpiece, they try and wrap their heads around the Grant Morrison Multiversity, wonder how THREE different books broke the 4th wall this week and spoke directly to us, enjoy the return of Gail Simone on Wonder Woman, lament the continuing impending doom of Fables, and so much more! So join NOLAnerds Matt "High Concept" Finneman, Chris "Born in the 40s" Robinson, and Scott "Has a Baby" Brehm as they banter like only nerds can.

It's a fifth week of comics folks and we all know what that means! Annuals! And less books than usual. Which suits us and our wallets just fine here at NOLAnerd HQ considering how much I spent at San Diego last week... ouch. This week we tackle some DC annuals and weeklies, say hello to a couple series we haven't seen in a few months, talk about Chris' love for the Doom Patrol, and much more! So join NOLAnerds Matt "Wonder Woman Team Up" Finneman and Chris "Nail Biter" Robinson as they chat with the interwebs about comics!

This episode is brought to you 7 days late because Matt was in San Diego for Comic Con International like a true comics nerd. Sadly that meant he didn't get to read this weeks' comics until now. But the week had SO MANY great books that a show had to be done to give them the justice they deserve. This week the NOLAnerds discuss several great Batman books, the best issue of Unwritten: Apocalypse to date, read a few Original Sin tie ins, gush over Image comics, and essentially have the most high rated books (4.0s) in one single episode ever. So join NOLAnerds Matt "San Diego Bound" Finneman and Chris "Lame Ass Who Didn't Go to San Diego" Robinson as they play catch up on the weeks' quality.

So join NOLAnerds Matt "Forever" Finneman and Chris "JokerXSuperman" Robinson as they talk about stuff. And junk.

So, Nintendo. Did they break the mold and give us something new? Or did they stick to their strengths and bring us new installments of beloved franchises? How did Super Smash Bros look? What about the new Zelda? Did Metroid show up? What about Star Fox? How were games like Yarn Yoshi and Hyrule Warriors looking? Where there any true surprises at all? 
 
Listen to the final E3 podcast to find out all the answers and to hear our opinions on the Big N's live stream E3 coverage!

Thank you for joining us in part 4 of our 5 part series detailing the five major press conferences of E3 2014. Next up we close out Day 1 of the show with the other major press conference, the Sony Playstation one.

 
Fresh off a year of unparalleled success and positive PR momentum, did the undisputed "winner" of last years E3 win once more? How were the 1st party games looking? Did Destiny make a comeback appearance? Were there any surprise game reveals? What about indie support? Did Sony tackle the PS3 or Vita in a significant way? How about their Playstation NOW initiative or their Project Morpheus CR headset? Which third party games showed up to lend their support? How jaw droppingly gorgeous did Uncharted 4 look?
 
Answers to these and many more will be revealed as the NOLAnerds break down exactly what they thought of the Sony Playstation E3 press conference!

Thank you for joining us in part 3 of our 5 part series detailing the five major press conferences of E3 2014. Next up we discuss how Ubisoft fared with their press conference.

 
Coming off of a great 2013 and delivering us Child of Light a few months ago and Watch Dogs mere weeks ago, Ubisoft is in a prime position to once again dominate the talk of E3. 
 
Will they end the show on another show stopper announcement? Will Aisha Tyler kill it for the 3rd year in a row of being a great host? How is The Division looking one year later? What is the latest Assassin's Creed looking like? Any crazy new game reveals that will appeal to everyone? What about the recently revealed Far Cry 4? 
 
Answers to all of these and more are conveniently located in this very podcast! So let the NOLAnerds break it all down for you because they are just nice like that

Thank you for joining us in part 1 of our 5 part series detailing the five major press conferences of E3 2014. First up we take a look at Microsoft's Xbox Press Conference.

 
How did the big MS fare about last year's bad policy tainted PR nightmare? Has Phil Spencer lived up to his promise of being the anti Don Mattrick? 
 
Did the January mega leak prove to be true? What were the surprise exclusives? Which third party studios showed up? Has Microsoft successfully courted the indies to counter Sony's indie heavy initiative?
 
All of these questions and more are answered in our NOLAnerd breakdown of the 2014 XBox Press Conference!

This week was a refreshing breather from the past few weeks worth of comics. In an odd twist, Marvel had a very strong showing book quantity wise for us this week, and there was nary a Vertigo or an Image book to be found! This week we discussed the difficulty of directing Ant-Man, celebrate the return of a book that has been missing from our lives, get shocked by Original Sin, try our damnedest to get Chris to say "The Others" and much more! So join NOLAnerds Matt "Angry Iron Fist" Finneman and Chris "Loves The Others" Robinson and kinda sorta featuring the return of Ashley "Where Am I?" Rose Butler as they talk and junk.

VIDJA GAMES! Things happened this month, as they always do in March, or as we like to call it, Second Christmas. Seriously. It seems like every major game that slipped from November ends up in March. This month gave us the first two exclusive heavy hitters for the next gen consoles, a Facebook buyout that shocked the internet, more PS4 sales dominance, new game announcements, the greatest licensed game to ever release, and much more! So join NOLAnerds Matt "Neon-ophile" Finneman, Chris "Big Boss" Robinson, Garrett "Dark Souls Master Race" Platner, Zack "Devil's Advocate" St. Onge, and introducing Tim "South Park Fan" Moseley as they break down the month in style.

Our wallets breathed a sigh of relief this week as the comic Gods deemed us worthy of having a smaller load of books to buy. It has its pros and cons, as all things do. Plus side? Smaller budget needed. Down side? This week was merely a week of average books with few standouts. This week we say goodbye to Trillium, welcome The Others into the DC family, and ponder how essential Domino is for Chris to read Punisher. So join NOLAnerds Matt "Flabbergasted" Finneman and Chris "The Others Lover" Robinson as they talk shop.

Man. These weeks are always a mixed blessing. I am always thrilled there are so many good books to read, but my wallet always hurts afterwards. What's a nerd to do but just soldier on? This week we say goodbye to several books, close out several Forever Evil tie ins, applaud Charles Soule for being awesome, and much more. So join NOLAnerds Matt "Larfleeze For Life" Finneman and Chris "Outrageous" Robinson as tey discuss an unhealthy amount of books in record time.

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.

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!

SNOWPACALYPSE NOW! I am shocked we are even able to get this show out to you folks, as we have barely survived the blistering 30 degree cold and light icing of the roads here in New Orleans. We even had to TURN ON OUR HEATER! But we here at the NOLAnerdcast trudge on to give you our insights into comics. So join NOLAnerds Matt "Team Gardner" Finneman and Chris "Gardner's 'Stache" Robinson as they talk comics and try to retain their warmth.

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!
