Episode 26 :: Dial-A-Dork
Triforce Mike’s Formspring is pretty amazing – you can ask him ANYTHING there and he answers – sometimes with Internet gibberish, sometimes with profound mico-essays packed with intense geekitude. Well, the rest of us are tired of him having all the fun, so we decided to do one better! We invited our fans to call in and ask us anything or geek out with us about whatever comes to mind. The call was answered! You reached out to us, Fandom, just like a glowy E.T. finger and touched us in a way that makes a boy a man and Stephen Spielberg very rich.
Along for the whole ride we have not just the fabled Nerdy Show four, but some of our comrades in arms: Nerdy Strip writer/artist, Tony Baldini, video game correspondent, Gina Lockwood, and sci-tech correspondent Jon West - for the whole show, not just a segment. Together we conquered many a harrowing phone call!
In this episode we discuss Nerdy Show’s secret, and not-so-secret origins – how the team formed and how Brain joined up. Fans ask hard-hitting questions, like just how much of Red Hulk is in continuity? what kind of characters are we going to play in DC Universe Online? And when the hell is Brain returning to Dungeons & Doritos? That plus MORE including a way-cool call-in from super-duper remixer, Klopfenpop, our first impressions of Starcraft 2, Cap’s review of Alan Wake: The Signal, and a call from Dean Wallace’s… son!?

Ladies and Gentlemen, we present to you the Final Boss of 2009! In this episode we unleash our list of the Top Twenty Nerdy THINGS of 2009, in a VERY specific order.

This week on Nerdy Show, not only did we have the triumphant return of our man in the field, Cap, but we also had our celebrity host, Brian Clevinger (8-Bit Theater, Atomic-Robo, Warbot in Accounting)! We talk about DC’s Blackest Night and how it is AWESOME!! We also trash talk James Cameron’s Avatar (opposed to M. Night Shyamalan’s Avatar… though we’ll trash talk that at the drop of an Airbender). Enjoy!!
