NA NERDIST SIZZLE

Comic-Con 2012: The Nerdist Channel’s New Lineup Highlights Creativity

Space Burrito

We love what both Geek and Sundry and The Nerdist are doing for pop-culture.  By highlighting creative and intelligent individuals that typically don’t get a ton of attention, Nerdist Industries lets people know that it’s okay to be an art nerd, a science nerd, or heck, any sort of nerd.  The competitive nature of broadcast television, which needs commercial sales in order to operate, has stifled the growth of creative programming for far too long.  Both Geek and Sundry and The Nerdist are looking to break the mold by offering viewers an alternative way to watch the kind of shows that they actually want to see.  And this is only the beginning.   Check out The Nerdist sizzle reel from Comic-Con 2012 below, and keep your peepers peeled for The Doctor Who cast, Neil Patrick Harris (with puppets), Bill Nye, Stephen Hawking, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Scott Ian, Danica McKellar, Holly Conrad, Jessica Merizan, and MORE. We have a lot to look forward to.

PAX East 2012: Day One Teaser!

PAX East 2012 is off to a great, and hectic, start. The NA crew started off the day by getting our grubby mitts on Borderlands 2, Orcs Must Die 2, and more titles than my brain can currently recall. I won’t lie, I was so exausted leaving the convention center this evening that I got lost and wandered in circles for a good half an hour.

Comic-Con 2012: Epic’s Fortnite – Constructing a Whole New World of Adventure

Epic Games had a huge presence at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con with both Gears of War: Judgement, and Fortnite showing off their goodies. Until this year’s SDCC, we knew very little of what Fornite was actually about, how it would look, or really, how in the heck it would play. Well, we have some great news for you, Fortnite looks super-slick and has the capacity to be more fun than any of us really deserve.
