Greetings adventurers and welcome to an all new, all exciting episode of The Surly Nerd!

Typically this is where James would tell you all the cool things we have going on in this weeks show like:

DC Comic’s reboot
The future of modern gaming
Who won awards at DICE
and what Hollywood thinks they can do to improve video game movies

…as it turns out, James is swamped with work this week and didn’t have time to list ALL of the amazing things talked about on this weeks episode. So you will just have to take it from us that every minute of this weeks show is super awesome!
