It’s silly, yes. But it is true. Poop is the best non-cuss-word explanation to our situation right now. Almost all of the Nerd-Base crew are without power, and ironically, though I have power, both my a/c adapters are blown so I can’t get much done. I’m posting this from my phone.
I just want to say that although our news/reviews/general posts are going to be minor and/or slow-coming this week, we’re still going to try and get some content up. We shall persevere!!
The podcast may be late as well, but we’re going to try and get our James Bond special up by the weekend.
Be safe fellow east-coasters!!

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is the brains of the operation. Without getting too technical, the processor does just what the name says. It processes all information it receives. While this is one of the most important choices you will make when deciding to build a PC, there aren’t that many choices compared to everything else you could buy. Continue reading
Marvel Comics Breast Cancer Awareness Covers: Week 3
There was only one special variant cover this week, but I do believe it’s my favorite one. X-23 is a great character and I was pretty bummed when her book was cancelled. At least we can still follow her exploits in Avengers Academy.

Variant Cover by Benjamin Ang
Comic Book Covers 10/24/2012
This week in comics saw the “final” issues of quite a few Marvel books including Captain America, Fantastic Four, and Invincible Iron Man. The final is in quotes because the books will be back next month with new creators as #1 issues. This did lead to some nice variants being released though, especially the two collage ones on this list. Continue reading
