Star Wars Episode 7 Coming 2015
While a real storm batters the East coast, a metaphorical one has hit here on the West coast. The day I honestly thought I would never come to fruition has now become more of a reality. A new Star Wars feature film will come out by 2015, a little over two years from now.

CYaN Podcast Episode 27: We Always Watch Trailers
It’s time to break away from the Monday blues because there is brand new episode of the Call Yourself A Nerd Podcast to listen to. This week; Danny and Ricky take about new movie news and trailers, new personal camera gadgets, the pilot of Mockingbird Lane and of course this week’s episode of The Walking Dead. Glad you can join us!
Album of the Week: Blak and Blu by Gary Clark Jr.
In the age of auto tune and music sampling it is rare to find anything truly original… just as it is rare in a time of electro pop to find a modern blues album. Gary Clark Jr. has created a wonderful album that has a timeless sound and yet remains relevant to today. This is his first major label album and you can feel his roots through the polishing. Each track holds the truth of his style in the blues backbone and it is served to the masses with modern R&B and hip-hop trimmings. He is working with producers of big names like Dr. Dre, Prince, Green Day and Fiona Apple. Despite the professional help, this Austin native somehow manages to make the listener feel as though they are in a blues bar listening to an amazing garage band. See my review and listen to the full album after the jump. Read More…
Frightful Friday: Halloween Playlist!
It is the witching hour and I am slaving away to conjure up an especially killer mix for you. I have mixed up my favorite Halloween-ish songs and I think the mix has turned out amazing. Well… it depends on your tolerance for Pop/Dance music…. You have some Psycho-billy, Pop, 70’s R&B, Kids classics, Indie Rock… I mean this hits all tastes! As is typical here at Call Yourself A Nerd, we like variety and here for your audible pleasure are both a classic halloween mix and a halloween party/dance mix. Enjoy!

Monster Mash-up Dance Till You’re Dead
P.S. What are you dressing up as for halloween?
More Minecraft Skins for Halloween
Windows 8 isn’t the only release to look forward tomorrow. Yeah, there’s some silly movie called Cloud Atlas that Danny thinks you should see. But here’s what I’m pumped for: More Minecraft skins for the Xbox 360 Edition. 55 skins in total including those above for the regular price of $2. What’s so special this time around? Your $2 is going to such charities as Macmillan Cancer Support, Child’s Play, SANDS Lothians and Block by Block.
Dibs on the floaty skeleton guy.
Cheap Date: Oct 24th
Ahh, what a wonderful Wednesday afternoon! There is no better time for a brand new edition ofCheap Date to roll through. For those that are new to the site; on Cheap Date, I recommend a few pieces of nerdy entertainment that I think people will enjoy for the week and it will cost you no more than $30. Being a nerd is expensive so limiting that can help out in the long run.
Head past the jump to find out what I recommended this week.
Evil Dead (Remake) Trailer
Well it’s here.
I have to disagree with people that Evil Dead should have been remade, but this isn’t that remake. Yes, the original went all out for that true horror feel, but starting with Evil Dead 2 and continuing in Army of Darkness, the movies became more campy and bordered comedy. Watching this trailer, I’m reminded of Cabin in the Woods which to certain degree spoofs this entire scenario. I’m most disappointed in the gore porn direction this one is going in. And don’t get me wrong, the original had plenty of gore, but this one seems to be using the gore in a way movies like Saw and Hostel made popular. But no matter what I think, this one got the Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell stamp of approval.
Wreck-It Ralph’s Vintage Commercials
The nostalgia of the upcoming Disney movie Wreck-It Ralph just oozes out of every frame. Now the viral marketing for the movie comes out with three commercials for the fictional “Litwak’s Arcade.” Ahh, remember when arcades were everywhere with brand new games?
