Never Not A Nerd

Seriously, let’s not forget that there’s other stuff going on.  24 is back.  Smallville is still… just… awful.  Also, this is the final season of Supernatural, the show about two brothers fighting demons and monsters across the country.  Frankly I’m much more interested in how Supernatural is going to end, because it doesn’t confuse the holy hell out of me.  Hell, Supernatural, defying all odds due to being on the CW, has some of the best writing I’ve seen on television for a sci-fi show.  Despite having so many episodes that appear at first glance to be filler stories, they all manage to apply to and further the plot of the season.  Now we’re watching the lead up to the big battle between Michael and Lucifer, assuming Sam and Dean allow the fight to take place.

This is the list of our favorite games released in 2009.  It was made from combining picks by myself and Andrew. Just like the 10 Best Films of 2009, this list is in descending order. And instead of trying to re-cap the year in a few sentences let’s just get right to the action.

Hey! Do you like how I used ‘films’ instead of ‘movies’? It makes it seem more important doesn’t it? This list is made up of picks by both myself and Andrew, with some help from Dillon.  And unlike Dillon’s comic list this is in descending order.

I’m going to do a little belated rundown of what I feel were the best of the comics released last year that I’ve read, that everyone should be taking a look at.  Hit the button to find out my entirely correct opinions.

We’re three episodes deep into season four of The Venture Bros, a cartoon parodying some of Hanna Barbera and Marvel Comics’ finest characters.  The show follows Dr. Venture, a failed super-scientist who, with his two sons Hank and Dean as well as his bodyguard Brock Samson, go on bizarre adventures that show just how terrible life can be when you mess around with clones, supervillains, and dogs that are actually Hitler.  As always, the show is doing amazing things for the sake of illustrating a series of disgrace and misery the cast is forced to deal with.  It’s on a train of hilarity and it never seems to be derailing.

I thought of doing a list like this a while ago and put it off considering how many games were being pushed back at the time. I’m glad I waited because a lot of the games slated to release before years end were pushed back to 2010.  All of those games being pushed back did make putting this list together a lot harder also. Well, here goes…

Batman is a complicated character, and no one understands him but his butler. The truth is that lately Batman’s continuity has had a lot to make up for in terms of story. After Bruce Wayne’s death, or non-death, or whatever you wish to call it, we’ve been put into an awkward situation: Batman stories with no Bruce Wayne. DC needs to hope that the fans of the Bat are going to be cool with simply reading about other characters until his return. If you haven’t been keeping up with the new comics, be warned, as I reveal a few identities in the rest of the article.

A couple of years ago I came across a comic book entitled Scott Pilgrim’s Precious Little Life.  It was around that same time that I actually learned how strongly I could love a series.  Five volumes of the six book series have been released, and as I reread each adventure until my eyes become withered husks, I sit patiently until the dramatic conclusion to what is my favorite indie book lands on the shelves.  I just wait around and twiddle my thumbs… oh God I want it now.

I would consider the August 25th release of Batman: Arkham Asylum as kicking off the Fall/ Holiday gaming season.  Some football/sports game fans might even consider that season to have begun yesterday with the release of Madden 10.  Whichever one of those groups you are in, it’s either here or quickly approaching.  This is an alphabetical list of the 10 best games that have been released so far in 2009 (Madden 10 excluded) and why we think they’re the best. There’s also a little section at the bottom for games that released in 2009 that you should avoid.

I mentioned in my review of G.I Joe (yo check it out) that this Summer movie season has been pretty terrible. With so many big franchise movies being released and flopping all over the place, I figured why not make a best of the worst list. All the below mentioned films are entries into an existing franchise. So without any further a-doo…
