Episode 192: Time to Nintendo Switch

After months of rumor and speculation, we finally have the details of the Nintendo Switch!

Is it time to SWITCH?
Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After our prelude, we kick things off in comics where DC’s REBIRTH is coming to your local library, and it’s awesome. We also have the details of Mark Waid’s new comic book writing course and a ton of discussion about Brian Michael Bendis’ return to THE DEFENDERS.
Heading into level two, we break down what exactly AWESOME GAMES DONE QUICK is and why you should give speed-running a shot (or at least check it out on youtube). Also in games, we get upset over the cancellation of SCALEBOUND and get into ELON MUSK’s opinions about narrative in video games (and why he might just be wrong).
Over in the world of entertainment, we say goodbye to William Peter Blatty and say “what the hell” to a potential Fright Night 3. Also in level three – we are getting not one, but two potential remakes of “The House on Haunted Hill” and Mark Hamill tells is why he thinks that everyone relates to Luke Skywalker as a character.
Our epilogue this week is all about the Nintendo Switch announcement. As always, we appreciate all our adventurers who listen to the show every week and we look forward to your feedback on what we discuss! (info@thesurlynerd.com!)
Grab a drink and settle on in for this weeks action packed episode of…The Surly Nerd!
