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!
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 Ricky and me talk about all the new video games coming out this Fall, although some of that information may be outdated due to PAX.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.

Addictive Apps: Jetpack Joyride
I have been playing this side-scrolling, action packed, video game app for about two weeks. I thought my attention would wane by now, but it has become an Addictive App for me.
Jetpack Joyride is a new game from Half Brick (the same people who brought you Fruit Ninja). It is available on all Apple iOS devices, Android devices and as an app on Facebook. I am an Android user and this was released for android on 08/19/2012 via the Amazon Appstore; whereas the Apple users have had this game since 09/01/2011.
So the story is that an unhappy employee, Barry, stumbles across a secret lab where they are developing jet packs. He is immediately enthralled and steals the jet pack, but along the way to his escape he is forced to dodge missiles, stationary and rotating zappers as well as laser beams that follow him throughout the laboratory.

Blast from the Past on PSVita
Today is the newest software update (ver. 1.8) for the PSVita. Some features include using the buttons to search the home screen and using the rear touchscreen to scroll the browser. I know it sounds exciting, right? Well here’s the good part. Sony will be releasing PSOne Classics titles for download on the PS Store. Here is a list of titles that are available:
- Arc the Lad
- Cool Boarders 2
- Final Fantasy VII
- Hot Shots Golf 2
- Jet Moto
- Syphon Filter
- Tomb Raider
- Twisted Metal 2
- Wild Arm
There are a lot of complaints about Sony’s small list of offerings after promising hundreds of titles. They are promising to roll out titles on a weekly basis. The games are coming. I am looking forward to playing games that I missed out on while I played GoldenEye on the N64. I mean seriously, I call myself a nerd and I’ve never played Final Fantasy VII?!
Nuketown Counter is Rising…
@CallofDuty posted the above image on Twitter yesterday. We know already that Nuketown 2025 is being included as a pre-order bonus. The added tag of zombies is appropriate as we are all highly anticipating the next iteration of the zombie mode. There are rumors that there be a new addition to the zombie mode that allow a player to become a zombie. Could the counter reading one be a hint to that?
Cheap Date: August 15th
For some of you it is pay day and that money is burning a hole in your pocket, but you do not know what you want to spend your money on. You have come to right place. Here on Cheap Date, I will give a couple of recommendations on how to spend $30 on nerdy entertainment for the week.

Halo 4 and Black Ops 2 Trailers
In about three months, two of the most anticipated games are coming out within a week of each other. I am talking about Halo 4 and Call of Duty Black Ops 2. This week both games released new trailers, showing off some new stuff for fans to drool over.
Hit the jump to see what all the hubbub is all about.
Cheap Date: August 1st
I’m sorry about the lack of a Cheap Date last week, but there was seriously nothing to get excited for (well, maybe a few comics but that was it). Plus I am sure most of you are trying to rewatch The Dark Knight Rises. Either way, this week we actually have a few items that you should consider spending your money on. Remember for Cheap Date, we will keep everything to under $30.
Hit the jump for all the lovely details.
