Warp Zone Nerds Episode 2.08 - "E3 2010 Madness"

E3 2010 was a bit of failure and the Nerds feel that it is their duty to be pessimistic about the video game industry.

Watchmen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4blSrZvPhU

300
Superman Returns
X-Men Last Stand
Davinci Code
Ocean's 12
Matrix Reloaded
Star Wars episodes I-III
Sin City
Terminator Salvation
Iron Man 2
Cloverfield
Red Eye
Spiderman

Mass Effect 2
--great game, perfect game trailer
Dante's Inferno
Bio Shock
--At least Chase thought so....

It has begun! - Welcome

Welcome to our official blog spot. The Warp Zone Nerds started as a radio show that could be heard in Fayetteville on 88.3FM. Over time as they left the University radio station and the University itself they continued their show through podcasts. Our show is about all things media and all things nerd. We cover N
ews, Reviews, and Previews and also have topics, such as Censorship in the Media, Portrayals of and What it Means to be a Hero (or Villain) in the Media, Star Wars, Marvel vs DC, etc. Our previous guests include Web Comic Creator Mookie (Dominic Deegan) and Comic Creators Conor McCreery (Kill Shakespeare [IDW]) and Erik Northfell (Mercy Me). We are always looking for more guests and if your are interested email us at WarpZoneNerds@gmail.com. Also, please check out twitter.com/WarpZoneNerds where we tweet reviews and whatnot as well as previews to our future shows. This blog will also share any relevant news and topics as well as more in depth reviews that are too big for twitter.

I am now in the process of updated our website to make it more efficient and easier to find what you are looking for. There will be a News section, Reviews section and a section for each of us to write any article we would like to share with you. If you want to submit a story and contribute to our website we will have a section just for that, as well as for episodes that we have special guests on. More importantly I am in the process of making separate episode lists for the shows
included in the Warp Zone. This will take a while to update so please be patient, and as always, thank you for visiting and stay tuned for more!



Michael


















(from left to right: Corey, DJ Roboto, Michael, Chase, Thomas, Bobbie)

Michael - Co-Founder of the show. The comic guy and knows a bit about many other things too. Likes to argue and is completely awesome. Also, if you follow our twitter it's probably him tweeting and if you couldn't tell this is him making this first post (back when this was the website´s first post. Michael is currently teaching English at a bilingual school in Spain and has a double bachelor´s degree in English, with a Concentration in Creative Writing, and Communication. (M)

Thomas - Co-Founder of the show. The gamer guy. Thinks he's always right, and he usually is....USUALLY (just don´t tell him that, it´ll go to his head more than it has already). He has graduated from the University and has continued his education to get a Law degree. (T)

Chase - The movie and Myst guy. He also either knows a great deal about everything or is making it up and likes to hear himself talk...haven't decided yet. We invited him on and now he won't leave, so we decided to recruit him. ;P. In all seriousness though he is an invaluable part of the team. He records and edits all our podcasts and I honestly do not know how we would get by without him. (C)

Bobbie - The journalist of the show. Well rounded knowledge of a great many things. If there´s something going on in the world she´ll know about it. She is the journalist of the group. (B)

Corey - Another movie guy in the group. Why? Because we can´t have too many, that and he just to awesome not have. Knows a great deal about a great deal and brings it all to the table. (Co)

Feel free to make as many copies of this and advertise the life out of our show.
