With SXSW going on right now, why are these media festivals so important?

What’s the purpose of media festivals?

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).

New this week, we talk about all the positive changes Capcom has been making over the years, The Orville heads to comics and there’s a Gundam movie we might be excited for. We also talk all things HALO with some huge announcements and Diablo comes to GOG to help us waste even more of our time.

This weeks BOSS ROOM is all about media festivals like SXSW, why they exist and how they can help and hurt upcoming artists.

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!)

Kicking off video game news this week, Microsoft is headed towards their platform-as-a-service with a new risky addition. The Overwatch League is finally giving fans what they want, and 343 has a new person working on Halo that will make the fans happy.

Over in the world of entertainment, Legion is finally coming to an end – but for a good reason. Y: The Last Man is finally going to be getting its big screen break, and CBS has a new detective show that might be the best (or worst) thing ever.

Our epilogue this week is about Sony’s new backwards compatibility patent.
