Stop killing games is going from strength to strength, and now has joined the fight against Sony in a fresh new lawsuit We then started flexing our cooking muscles while discussing how to save our vegetables and the solution was.......birdseeds...and plenty of it Then we came to the conclusion that instead of buying paper comics...online comics is the way to go *** We enjoyed a nice drink of Rez…
Finding the needle in a haystack of a good game is getting more difficult as more releases come out. A workgroup has come up with a plan to fix that. The Cambrian Explosion may have been caused by the accumulation of feces. Food for thought. Why are people turning to miniseries and one shots instead of ongoing comics? Maybe they're just too long. We're talking about you, One Piece. *** We enjoyed…
Xbox doesn't have much left to offer after the recent cuts. So can their tentpole franchises support the entire business? New research suggests that a massive fireball killed all the dinosaurs in hours, not weeks. Which means there was a point where a time traveler could have an all you can eat dino buffet. Getting your book adapted to a movie sounds like a dream come true. But letting someone…
Xbox has fired massive numbers of devs. Who's actually left to make games? Can you sleep through a trip to Mars? Probably not, but it won't stop scientists trying. George Lucas thinks AI is the big new thing. But when was the last time George Lucas was relevant? *** We enjoyed a nice drink of Rez which you can get a 10% discount when you type NERDS at the checkout from the Rez website at…

The Steam Machine has finally been released, and if it wasn't for the price of RAM it would probably sound a lot better. But make sure you save some money for GTA6 because ouch. Scientists have discovered a cluster of neurons in mice that cause them to have ADHD. It could lead to a permanent treatment for ADHD, which is pretty exciting. Critics think Anime is becoming commoditized. What does that…
Blizzard are suing another World of Warcraft fan server. This doesn't set good standards for game preservation, but where is the line between preservation and copyright infringement? Researchers have found a massive whale necropolis in the deep ocean. We're scared of anything big enough to hunt whales, so hopefully it's not a hunting ground for Cthulu. Production companies are leaving Hollywood.…
Nintendo have been ordered to pay a fine for joycon drift, and also create Switch 2 models with user serviceable batteries. Let's hope that model becomes available in the rest of the world soon. Plants can be genetically engineered to grow medicine, and might be the solution to producing supplies for long term space travel. Science is awesome. DJ thinks Doctor Who is dead already. It isn't, and…
The next release of Call of Duty will have the lowest potential player base of any COD in nearly a decade. Where are they all going? Aiming high is a good idea, unless you aim too high, in which case you won't perform as well. Science has finally attempted to quantify just how high you should aim. A recent spate of Youtuber movies has meant a resurgence of low budget horror movies. Will it last?…
