The end is nigh for Greenlight, but what does that mean for us Steam users?

Goodbye, Greenlight. We hardly liked ye

Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! After our prelude, we kick things off in comics where Steve Rogers is ramping up to take over the Marvel universe. We also celebrate the 100th birthday of Will Eisner and get way too hyped about Netflix expanding their brand into comics and toys.

Heading into level two, we break down what is new in the world of Call of Duty, which might mean going back to something older. Nintendo had a huge announcement this week for SWITCH users and E3 is finally opening its doors to the public for the first time in a very long time.

Over in the world of entertainment, heated words get exchanged as Netflix has announced a new animated Castlevania series and claims it will be the best western game adaptation ever. We also find about the resurrection of the Halloween franchise and get into what makes Marvel movie villains so horrible (and how they are planing to fix that).

Our epilogue this week is about the end of the Steam Greenlight program and what that means for us gamers. 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!)

Grab a drink and settle on in for this weeks action packed episode of…The Surly Nerd!

Comic-con, Comic-con, San Diego Comic-Con tiiiiiime!

How excited we are for the Deadpool trailer

Greetings adventurers, it’s an all new episode of The Surly Nerd! Join us as we wade through the plethora of news coming out of San Diego Comic-con. So much happened in the last week in the world of nerdy news but does ANY of it have to do with comic books? We kick our show off with that thought as we go into the winners of the Eisner Awards and from there move into what’s new for Superman in his comics as well as Marvels plans for their newest acquisition – Angela.

We slide from those comic topics over to the world of video games. John Romero tells us what he thinks about the PC vs Console war, we get deep into what makes HALO a true franchise and we bitch more and more about Ubisofts sexism. We try to talk about happier things in Entertainment News with Evil Dead television series but just end up angrier from where we started. Avengers theories, Batman V Superman rants and a discussion about the Deadpool “leaked” trailer close out our show. Get comfy with us as we get into super geeky comic discussions on episode 101 of The Surly Nerd.
