This week on ATGN, Peter Welpton (@peet2 on Twitter) stopped by to talk tech with us. We talked about the WiiU, and what it will do for the evolution of gaming. We also talked about the iPhone5 announcements, and how much that will impact the phone and mobile device world. Mobile Devices are ever changing, yet the Gaming Consoles aren't. Would you agree?

This week on All Things Good and Nerdy, Naki is back and brings with her the resident Tabletop Champion Ryan Numrich. We kicked things off by talking about Star Trek, with Worf's new TV show, Homeland Security talked to us about the Zombie Apocalypse, and Stan Lee's least favorite Marvel Movies. Naki gave us a background rundown of Star Wars Celebration and PAX Prime. We had a good discussion about Video Game Piracy and the upcoming Borderlands game, along with the upcoming new technology.

This week on ATGN our guest host was the often mentioned Ferg.  You can follow him on Twitter @Ferg2KK. With an all male panel and by Naki’s special request this show has been entitled Testosterone.  If you’ll allow me to channel my inner Stan Lee for a moment, our terrible trio of testosterone toting tyrants talked about a variety of subjects. But strangely enough we spent a lot of time talking about court case between Apple and Samsung and the implications it has towards software/technology patents.  To continue the serious discussion the hosts also jumped into the Google Fiber debate and how the internet is an essential tool in today’s world. But have no fear we also talked a lot about tons of gaming news and the newly green lit SHIELD pilot coming to ABC.  There’s a great mix of fun and games with the seriousness.  The show notes can be found on Google Docs if you want to see everything we talked about this week (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fKtj8GIhYKZBKqmHzySTY0HFgm_u3m_bNc7n0ZhaNao/edit).

The show went in with the talk of the Google Survivor benefits, which eventually lead into talk of Apple employee welfare. The Suitjamas have made their debut on Amazon and GUYS WE TOTALLY LANDED ON MARS. We also talked about what would be the best prop to take from a TV Show or Movie.

This week on All Things Good and Nerdy, Chris has disappeared in a drunken haze causing us to find a new guy to fill our bald man quota. Luckily, we found 2!

Our resident @ChiTownSpidey Peter swooped in to grace us with his knowledge on ATGN this week, as we talked about The Rock and his new role as Lobo, our crew was questioned and the Rumble Pit takes on Batman vs...Batman? Chris and Adahy did the unthinkable and brought up Michael Bay more than once, thus proving that the 4th Transformers movie is going to be made. This time, we're going to space! We weighed in on LucasArts new first person shooter, and if it will be a new Battlefront, or a brand new line of Star Wars games. We also talked about how Halo 4 will have surface tablet integration. The announcement of the newest Batman game being set in the Golden Age Batman era took hold, with Mark Hamill saying he will not return as The Joker, who do you think will be up for the big villain in this game? We would like to thank our guest host Peter for joining us. You can follow him on Twitter at @ChiTownSpidey! ATGN would also like to have you vote for Michelle, who is in a costume contest for her Steampunk Po

In this weeks episode of All Things Good and Nerdy, we had our first ever dual guest hosts, with brothers Dan and Jeremy Eden of EEK Theater Company. They told us about their Kickstarter, which is the first Kickstarter that both Naki and Adahy has backed!

Right now Dan is writing a short story for backers, starring you! Most of this weeks news comes from San Diego Comic Con, where a Firefly reboot was discussed, along with Blood and Chrome being revived. In gaming news, Borderlands 2 has hit us with a large stream of news including over 59 hours of professional game time, leaving us casual gamers with a lifetime of gameplay ahead. Gears of War: Judgement was announced with a release date as well! We talked about the upcoming Marvel movies and what we're most excited to see next. Chris went into Super Dick Mode about the lack of power phrase in The Amazing Spider-Man,

There is a slight echo for the first ten minutes of the show and then I was able to cut it out. Sorry in advance folks. This week our guest host is Trin, @TrinandTonic, our champion rapper and insight extraordinaire! She's been so awesome as to offer us an ATGN rap, which we look forward to in the future!! The crew talked about Amazing Spider-man and the theories of the Mysterious Man in the credit scene. Naki and Trin discussed their love of Andrew Garfield's chocolate hair, and how Gwen Stacy is now an adorable kitten. Tell us what you thought of the flick! We then got into The Rumble Pit, Indiana Jones vs. Malcolm Reynolds. It was a long, tough discussion, bringing in some comments from our Facebook and Twitter pages...but you'll have to listen to see who won out in the end. Trin and Chris discussed the Mass Effect 3 DLC that was released, and if it was enough to pacify the enraged fans of the Mass Effect series. Adahy proved yet again that EA is a horrible company. We also announced some new segments

This week sees the premiere of All Things Good And Nerdy Episode 010 - We're Binary Now.  We're the best podcast that no one is listening to! This week we began the process of streamlining and improving the podcast.  This was done by introducing some new bits that will recur weekly.  The show began with the news of the week presented by the panel.  The news items were: Naki - Details on the Xbox 720 have leaked and hit the web. Chris - Microsoft Unveils the Surface Tablet. Adahy - Why EA Sucks While these items were considered the major news that wasn't what all of the discussion was devoted to.  This week there was a lot of discussion over the controversy regarding Lara Croft in the new Tomb Raider game.  The panel covered topics concerning video gaming, movies, TV, comics, and even books.  It was a packed episode and we even went a little over for you. That wasn't everything we talked about but its the highlights of the show.  The panel this week consisted of: The Adahy - www.twitch.tv/theadahygaming

This week sees the premiere of All Things Good And Nerdy Episode 009 - Shut Up EA Will Hear You!  We're the best podcast that no one is listening to!  Want to know where the episode title came from?  I guess you better tune into the podcast! This week we continued with our E3 wrap up.  The first half of the show was dedicated to discussing E3 revelations and impressions.  To start off was the news of Microsoft's  Smart Glass app for tablets and smartphones.  On top of that was the announcement from Microsoft that the Xbox 360 should have a life through 2014. Other gaming topics included Final Fantasy VII coming to the PS Vita and Apple stating they would not be entering the console gaming arena.  We also learned early this morning that some League of Legends servers were hacked potentially compromising PII.  If you play, make sure your info is safe and change your passwords! Probably the most fun part was giving Adahy a chance to respond to the EA and Valve confrontation over price cuts.  His opinion is we

This week we present you with a special E3 mini-episode.  The panel took the time to do a quick run through of E3 and talked about the highs and lows of the show.  The common consensus is that this year E3 was kind of boring. The panel for this mini-episode consisted of: The Adahy - www.twitch.tv/theadahygaming or @TheAdahy Chris - www.nerdsoftheroundtable.com or @RoundTableNerds Naki - www.onenerdycupcake.wordpress.com or @1nerdycupcake Don't forget to watch the live show at 11AM EST on Sundays.  We'll see you again on Sunday.

This week sees the premiere of All Things Good And Nerdy Episode 007 - Show Us Your Kitty.  Want to know where the episode title came from?  I guess you better tune into the podcast! The panel was all over this week in their discussion and a variety of topics were touched upon.    The big news first was the discussion of E3 taking place next week.  The panel took the time to make their predictions about what would come out of E3.  Some predictions were crazier than others.  It was also interesting to note that many game announcements had leaked already.  Most notable God of War 4 and a new Gears of War game. The panel also discussed DC Comics announcement that Alan Scott was coming out of the closet.  From there The Dark Knight Rises was discussed, specifically the tiny hope that Chris Nolan and Christian Bale might make another Batman film. It was also observed that zombies appear to be eating people in real life and this is all because of bath salts.  Sounds like it might be time to prepare for the Zombi

This week sees the premiere of All Things Good And Nerdy Episode 006 - We Play For Keeps.  Want to know where the episode title came from?  I guess you better tune into the podcast! The panel was all over this week in their discussion and a variety of topics were touched upon.  The show started with the panel addressing the current trend of zero-day DLC and how many companies seem to be embracing this plan in an effort to squeeze a few more dollars out of gamers.  Next up was a discussion of how big comic companies like Marvel and DC have announced upcoming stories revolving around gay characters.  The common consensus is this seems like a cash grab.  If a character is gay that's great, but the companies should focus on telling good stories not publicity. Next up was a quick review of Men In Black 3 as most of the panel had seen the movie. The consensus was that MIB 3 is a fun summer movie and its worth checking out.  However, its no Avengers.  Continuing the movie trend, the panel took time to make fun of

This week sees the premiere of All Things Good And Nerdy Episode 005 - OP'd and Nerfed.  Want to know where the episode title came from?  I guess you better tune into the podcast! The big news this week is the release of Diablo 3.  Since Chris and Naki have suck computers The Adahy was the only one to play while the rest of us drooled over the game in the livestream.  The panel also discussed the details about The Avengers blu-ray release and massive amount of deleted scenes on the disc.  Of course this then degenerated into a conversation about comic book movies.  The panel took the time to take a shot at Green Lantern and mention that not all comic book movies have to be dark.  It may work for Batman, but not really for Superman. Moving on, the panel discussed Community and the greatness that was the 16-bit episode.  After a discussion about Dan Harmon's situation with the show we moved on to the Big Bang Theory and how the show might actually be hurting nerd culture. The show wrapped by moving back into

This week sees the premiere of All Things Good And Nerdy Episode 004 - Its A Trap!  Want to know where the episode title came from?  I guess you better tune into the podcast! Fair warning to everyone, The Avengers are discussed again, and there will be spoilers.  This movie is far too good to pass up talking about! The other topics this week included an update on the status of Star Wars: The Old Republic and its declining users, the rise of casual gaming and its impact on Nintendo and Sony, Zynga potentially suing to trademark the usage of 'ville', the announcement of Axe Cop the cartoon, the death of traditional TV viewing and the rise of the streaming movement, rumors about a Steam console, and making fun of the long delayed Starcraft Ghost.  Also, there was a conversation about The Avengers and if that movie had made The Dark Knight Rises less exciting.  The group thinks the movie will be good, but it will be a tough fight against The Avengers.  Finally, there was a spirited debate about Maxim's Gamergir
