This Week in Geekdom

Holy moly, it's already Sunday again. I know I often gripe about how quickly time speeds by, but it's so true! Maybe it's because we're still venturing out from our winter hibernation, but we're somehow already on the cusp of May. Must kick costume production into high gear! For now though, let's get down to the Week in Geekdom. Comics Hasbro is teaming up with IDW to release an all-female Transformers lineup. The comic run featuring these new heroines, Transformers: Combiner Hunters,...

Cosplay: Make Me Up

Hey, lately it seems like all the posts on here are all games, games, games. That's good and all, but what happened to the other stuff? That's a very good question. There are two reasons why games have been dominating the Care and Feeding of Nerds as of late. Reason #1 is that it just so happened a bunch of game developers we've been working with had projects reaching the fundraising/publication phase all around the same time and we wanted to help make those efforts successful (related...

Gias Games: The Static Speaks My Name

The Static Speaks My Name is a game developed by creator thewhalehusband. The game is only 10 minutes long and would best be described as an “interactive narrative” more than by the term “game”. It is free to download and play, but the creator also accepts donations. The Static Speaks My Name is a very strange experience. A warning to those sensitive to the subject: this experience deals with suicide. You begin floating through space with a giant static ball as the only...

Party On! It's Our Birthday!

It's absolutely insane to me that it's been three years since a burst of post-PAX productivity resulted in the Care and Feeding of Nerds. Even crazier is just what's happened in the three years since that day. Just in the time since this same point last year we've reviewed nearly 30 video games, finished 4 costumes, made 6 different types of noms, and got to have a hand in 4 crowdfunding campaigns. Add to all that a few movie recaps, our annual game-a-thon to raise money for sick kids,...

Books The top slots on Amazon.com's bestseller's list are occupied by coloring books that are targeted...

GiR by GIR: Primal Carnage - Extinction

Dinosaurs - Check!  Pitiful Humans - Check! Fun and Engaging Gameplay - Errrr not so much.... First person shooters may not be my favorite genre, but I like to think I've certainly built up a reasonable level of competence and qualifications with quite a few hours logged in the Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2, L4D (341 hours), Borderlands (198 hours), and Far Cry (110 hours) franchises. As a child of the 90s, the movie Jurassic Park cemented my already expansive love of...
