Greetings Citizens of the Nerdaverse! After a bit of a hiatus your favorite nerds are back and joined once again by indie horror writer and director Blake Clouser. We get you ready for the Halloween season by discussing recent thrillers Zombieland and Paranormal Activity, along with the creepy crawly FPS game Dead Space. We take a trip down nostalgia lane as we revisit some of our favorite scary video games and horror comedy movies. Tune in also to find out about our listener contest and to hear Jessie relate her own personal journey to hell as she belatedly reviews “GI Joe: Rise of Cobra”. Visit http://nerdaverse.com for more info on how to download and enjoy the show! Happy Halloween! Also be sure to turn in and find out how you can take part in our first listener contest!

I have no idea why Mark keeps copy-pasting things in unreadable font. A true nerd would know that you copy into Notepad first to strip any weird formatting and THEN you post here in the editor.

Nonetheless, please enjoy our latest offering.

I've no idea why Jess keeps posting twice in this thread.

;-P

Got a suggestion. I would love to see more hardware reviews on the Nerdaverse. How can we be nerds without the pro gear?

I certainly think that both Jessie and I would love to tackle more types of reviews such as hardware. I think the problem with doing a lot of hardware stuff is our limited access to stuff to review. (Which is pretty much limited to what we're able to buy on our own.) You can rest assured, that if Jessie and I get sweet new toys we'll certainly talk about them. However, I can't imagine that we would be opposed to considering the idea of a "Gadget Correspondent", were someone to approach us and express an interest.

I thought it was an apt metaphor.

Mark is right - our ability to review hardware is limited by the fact that our personal budgets can't support a lot of those kinds of purchases. I'd love to do more hardware reviews, but it's just not feasible right now. Maybe if we got sponsored....
