What has Blizzard done to Warcraft III?

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, The Wonderful 101 has a new kickstarter and it’s got one hell of a hype train going. Christophe Gans is coming back to the world of Silent Hill and is also ready to tap into the world of Fatal Frame and The Last of Us part 2 is getting one heck of a rating from the ESRB.
Also this week, we dive deep into the world of EA’s microtransactions. Blumhouse is brining a whole new adaptation of “The Thing” to the big screen, and we close out the news talking all about the big announcements from the world of Overwatch.
Our Boss Room this week is about Warcraft III: Reforged, and rights ownership over game modifications.

We’re HYPED for all the Microsoft and Sony announcements

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, we have even more CW crossover goodness on the table. Spider-man comes home and we knew it all along. We also hear rumors about a Madam Spider film, and Ghost Rider is being cancelled before he was even was given a chance to shine on Hulu.
Also this week, John Carpenter comes to the DC Universe in a huge way. Kevin Feige is stepping out of the Marvel world to try and tackle the ever expanding world of Star Wars. The news gets weird as we talk about The House of the Dead making a comeback and Medal of Honor being resurrected from the grave. We close out the news this week with a discussion about Call of Duty Modern Warfare’s microtransactions and how predatory they could be.
Our Boss Room this week is a huge talk covering all the Sony and Microsoft announcements we could fit into one episode.
