A Great day for Poor (and/or cheap) Nerds everywhere (MOS and new Futurama )

Posted on December 10, 2013 by S. Sears

I was surprised to see there was zero delay between release of the final season of Futurama and it coming to Netflix.

I’ll still be being her the Blu ray for the commentary, Futurama has always had some of the best commentary tracks.

I was also notified by the handy dandy remind me option at redbox that Man of Steel is now available. I’ve been a slacker and haven’t seen it yet, so if your like me you can get a viewing in now that it’s a buck and change for a night with the blu ray.

Posted on October 31, 2013 by S. Sears

8-bit cinema has released an excellent mock video game adaption of the Thor movie using mostly 8 bit sprites, although some are 16 bit and seem to be based on Megaman X but I’ll forgive them. Check it out below, and you should definitely hit up their home page, subscribe and check out some of the other videos (like the Shining or G.I.Joe!)
