When does our fandom go too far?

Let’s be real, Rick and Morty fans are the worst

Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After our prelude, we head into comics where Brain K. Vaughan has is planning a year long break from the series SAGA (but what does that mean for the series?) Injustice 2 is ready to finally wrap up and Wolverine is coming back in a way that has people a little worried…

Heading into level two, Cyberpunk kicks things off with tons of news about how and why some design decisions were made in the game. Bethesda has decided not to move forward with other companies playing in the Fallout universe and Bioware sets the record straight about why Anthem is being made.

Over in the world of entertainment, Locke and Key is finally getting the break that it deserves. Amazon is going all-in on a new horror series about current cultural issues and Castle Rock finally lets us know how the hell this series is going to work.

Our epilogue this week is about the pros and cons of fandom.

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!)
