The Walking Dead Review: S3E16 “Welcome to the Tombs”
Sunday night saw the season three finale of The Walking Dead on AMC. If you have read my reviews for the other episodes, you may already know that I was really unhappy with how this second half of the season went but was very pleased with the last episode. How did the show fare in the ultimate clash between Woodbury and the prison? And ultimately how well did the episode stand up?

Nerds Play: Defiance Beta
Defiance is a new IP coming next month. The most interesting thing about this new IP is the fact that not only will there will be a brand new TV series on the Syfy Channel, but two weeks before there will be a new MMO. That is a very interesting proposition. Whether it will succeed or not is still up in the air but I am excited to find out.
We got into the Defiance MMO beta and played a bit for the Xbox 360. Or to be more precise I played a little bit and Ricky provided commentary for all my wandering around.
