Changes are happening at Sony, but what does that mean for the PS5?

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 start on a happy note as we talk about the delays to the Master Chief Collection and why that’s a good thing. Blizzard takes center stage as Diablo 4 implements micro transactions and we find out just how much money Activision has made in the last quarter alone in micro transactions. We also have a slew of TV renewals to get hyped for, to wash the bad Blizzard talk out of our mouths.

Also this week, Scream is in talks to hit the big screen again – but do we want it? Jeff Kaplan finally opens up on the Blizzard ruling of Blitzchung and China is putting stricter regulations on how much their citizens can game. We close out the news this week with Smash Brother becoming the largest selling fighting game of all time, and with good reason.

Our Boss Room this week is all about the management changes at Sony and what it means for the future of the PlayStation.

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!)

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.

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.

This is the RE we deserve

Greetings adventurers, and welcome to this weeks installment of The Surly Nerd! We’ve taken out the prelude this week to get right down to the news.

Over in comics, we talk about the Scarlet TV series, the 30th anniverary of Transformers: The Movie and the all-new Josie and the Pussycats. We also dive into the new Justice League Dark animated feature and close out level one talking about the new Black Panther comic and the toll that the job of comic producer can take on a person.

Over in the world of entertainment, we have Hulu making a new horror anthology, who has been cast as the roll of Pennywise in the “IT” remake and Eli Roth talking about why it is important to keep making offensive movies. Level two winds down with a talk about China’s influence on modern Hollywood movies and if we should be worried.

In game industry news, E3 is in full swing and we break down anything and everything that happened during Microsoft and Sony’s respective shows.

Our epilogue this week was cancelled due to E3. 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!)
