It’s time for our annual E3 predicitions episode!

Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After our prelude, we head right into the weekly raid (our news roundup).

Kicking things off this week, Marvel is breaking big news as they set new rules for how they are going to be handling death in comics going forward. DC has announced another Black Label title, and it looks like it’s going to be another in the Batman universe.

Netflix is making waves this week as they hire on the Russo brothers to help pen their newest animated special: Magic The Gathering. Death Stranding has finally given us both a full trailer and a release date and yet we are more confused than ever about this Kojima title.

Also this week, Call of Duty has several huge announcements and they might just be enough to bring fans back to the series once again. Closing out the news this week we have Todd Howard talking about Fallout 76 in a way that we don’t think anyone would appreciate.

This weeks BOSS ROOM is our E3 predictions.
