I do apologize for the delay, but I got hurricaned on and lost power for a week. On top of that deliveries were delayed and the comic book store didn’t get their books on time. On the bright side you get two posts in one week, double the covers! Continue reading
Fez on XBox 360
Every so often a game appears that tackles true creativity. Sometimes it is found by the mainstream, like Portal. Most of the time, like Fez, it remains somewhat a sleeper… or at least it doesn’t get the recognition it deserves. I can’t say this game will change the way you look at games, or has an amazing story, but it is definitely a truly unique experience produced by creative minds at Polytron and Trapdoor.

Hurricane Poop!
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!!

If there isn’t a Microcenter near you, you can find similar (and sometimes better) deals at Newegg or TigerDirect. I plan on updating this list over time as things get cheaper or parts go on sale, so remember to look back here if you want to build a cheap PC! Continue reading
PC*Base 6 – CPU's
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
