Over at Nerdy Show we’ve got an episode dedicated to me! And, well, a whole lot of other stuff, but in parts it’s dedicated me! Or more accurately my work on 8BT, HIKYM, Warbot, Robo, and also racism. But that’s not our fault! We’re not the ones who made Pokemon Black and White, where you pit your Black Power Pokemon against your White Power Pokemon in a fight to the death to find out which deserves to live and oh my god Japan what’s wrong with you?

Change of gears. Please!

If you live anywhere in Florida, you should check out this concert going down O-Town way on the 19th. Krondor Krew. Killer Robots. The Protomen. And then an after party at A Comic Shop with drinks and all the bands and you.

Some of you may have noticed the forums crapped out on us. For the purposes of this conversation we’ll pretend it’s not entirely my fault so I don’t look as incompetent as I may actually be. You may say it’s an empty gesture to save face, but to that I say shut the hell up.

Anyway, we’ve fixed it! Kinda! You can find the official home of our new forums right over here. Once we get the old databases up and running again, it should be more-or-less back to normal. But sign up in the meantime to get back in touch with your fellow nerds.

In other news, look for Atomic Robo and the Revenge of the Vampire Dimension #2 of 4 to come out tomorrow. Pick it up at your local shop or online. Here’s a five page preview. If you’re into that sort of thing.

And you really should be.

Scott Wegener is back in Boston for some reason this weekend. Maybe you’ll want to see him and other luminaries of the comic world. And then buy all kinds of crazy things. This would be your chance to do that and so much more! Some of it legal! Oh man!

Don’t say I didn’t warn you about this sort of thing.

And for the record, no, I have no idea what’s going on there. I suspect it only makes sense to the weary and abused mind of Mr. Speroni.

I’m sitting in the cafe area trying, and failing, to not look like the kind of jack ass who goes to chain bookstore cafes and sits around for hours with a laptop. From here I can see the Humor section. There’s a book over there, and you could probably find it at our own Borders, called Penis Book. It has a hole in the middle. I’m going to assume there’s a “hilarious” image on each page.

I’m tempted to buy the book just for the awkward silence between myself and the cashier.

And then for the more awkward silence when I return it the next day, obviously disappointed.

And then, when I see an employee restock it, I’ll know Borders is the kind of place that’ll put a book on their shelves despite having cause to believe a penis was all over it.

Enjoy touching anything in public, everyone!
