CYaN Podcast Episode 22: Tolkien Danger Cult
We have a fun episode of the Call Yourself A Nerd Podcast for you today. Your hosts, Danny and Ricky, start off with an interesting side story that develops into a debate about what it means to be “cult.” Then we go on to a bit of the new trailers and news; not to mention we tell you what we think about what we thought about Dredd, Borderlands 2, and Revolution.
Cheap Date: Sept 19th (Late Edition)
Wow, I’m late on this one. You can blame me for getting sucked into Pandora and being a vault hunter.
Usually on Cheap Date, I offer a few suggestion for nerd entertainment that will cost you $30. But last week, instead of Cheap Date, I posted about PAX and told everyone to save their money for this week. So this week I will give you two options; A will be for those that saved from last week and B for those that only have the $30. Enjoy!
Revolution Season 1 Recap Episode 1: “Pilot”
When I heard there was a show Eric Kripke developed, Bad Robot and J.J. Abrams produced, and Jon Favreau would direct the pilot; I was immediately just excited because of the creative force behind it. The post-apocalyptic world where no electronics worked also had me hooked.
So when the show premiered last night, I caught it and thought I would share a recap of the show with what I thought. Hopefully I will enjoy this new series throughout the first season at least, because lord knows I need a good new series.
It should go without saying, but just in case here is a warning. Spoilers for the first episode of Revolution after the jump…
CYaN Podcast Episode 21: Brought To You By The Number 8
Welcome to another episode of the CYaN podcast. Danny and Ricky really talk a lot this episode. We go into some new Marvel NOW! announcements, a few new movie trailers, and the big news of the week: the Wii U. Hope you enjoy the show.
Wii U Details Annouced
Arriving two days after the sixth birthday of the original Wii; Nintendo is releasing their next console, called the Wii U. If you have been living under a rock, then the Wii U features HD gaming and a touch screen controller to go along with the console. Sounds like a bit of a gimmick? Well so does most of the other Nintendo products. But after spending a little bit of time with the controller at PAX, I can say that it can lead to some very interesting projects. Either way, Nintendo has released the product information and “four-month” launch line-up.
Let’s get down to the nitty gritty, shall we?
Aftermath PAX ’12
Good afternoon, internet.
I will be forgoing Cheap Date this week, as there is really nothing I would recommend; in fact I would recommend saving your money this week in anticipation of a release next week.
Any way, today I will leave you with some videos and photos from PAX Prime. Also we now have a YouTube Channel for our videos and such.
Enjoy!
CYaN Podcast Episode 20: The One with PAX
Good afternoon, internet. We have another CYaN podcast for you, with hosts Danny and Ricky. While we talk about a few other things including the upcoming season of Star Wars: the Clone Wars; we mostly talk about conventions this week especially PAX. Enjoy!
Cheap Date: September 5th
I am still recovering from PAX, but the show must go on. So welcome to Cheap Date, where I will recommend how you should spend no more than $30 on nerdy things for this week. I will pick out comics, movies, games, and merch that you should at least take a look at from the week’s selection.

CYaN Podcast Episode 19: Fall Video Game Special
Good morning, world. This one is coming to you a little late especially since I’m still a little burnt out/drunk from PAX, but this was recorded last week. Ricky and me talk about all the new video games coming out this Fall, although some of that information may be outdated due to PAX. Hope you still enjoy listening to it.
