It’s that time again. The mother of all nerd conventions is less than a month away and while information is a bit scarce as to which of your favorite shows will be in attendance (all of them), we do have some early panel information that popped up on both TV.Com and TV Guide. With Comic-Con growing each and every year it’s a safe bet that your favorite television series will probably make an appearance to plug their upcoming season, or to just have some fun. Hilary, Matt and myself will be making the trek to this year’s massive SDCC, and will do our best to bring you news and information that you probably won’t see anyplace else… We’re just that crazy.
If you were lucky enough to get a limited preview night ticket, you’ll have the opportunity to see the pilot episodes of some of Fall T.V.’s biggest new shows months before anyone else. Bragging rights! This year, I know many of us at NA are damn excited to check out J.J. Abram’s Revolution!

If someone were to take a time traveling phone booth to the past just to ask 13 year old me what he’d like to see in a video game, 13 year old me’s answer would likely be BROFORCE. Developed by Free Lives, a South African studio, BROFORCE is a blood-soaked love letter to the classic action films we all grew up on.
