February has been an exciting month at VCU, first Valentine’s Day, then Free Pancakes, and then Leap Day. We’re reminding you how lucky you were on Valentine’s Day to not have been on this blind date. We hosted a blind date in cooperation with Shafer for two lucky student contest winners. The date was a disaster [...]

Nerdicus Maximus #29 – 11/2/2011
“Bigger on the Inside (So is the Volume)”– After a little bit of talk about comics books being great and review scores being outrageous, It’s finally time for a full-on Doctor Who episode! The levels are loud, so turn down your volume just a bit because Nelson, Ibrahim, and Jason are joined by Cory halfway through to talk about the whole first season of Doctor Who (with the Ninth Doctor, not the First). Debates shall be had! Does Rose Tyler suck? Just how sexy is Captain Jack Harkness? Who looks at a screwdriver and says, “Ooh, this could be a little more sonic?” The answers to these and more, on Nerdicus Maximus, Episode 29: Bigger on the Inside! Plug in, keep calm, and carry a sonic screwdriver, y’all.
Nerdicus Maximus #28 – 10/26/2011
“Dubstep, Diablo, and Dattlefield 3! or: How I Learned to Give Up and Hate the Online Pass”– Look, Battlefield doesn’t start with a D. Just deal with it. On today’s show, it’s Chad Woods once again steps in for everybody else and joins Nelson in talks of online passes. Yes, that thing that makes you pay more money to access probably the most important part of the game if you don’t buy it new. SIgh with me, people. We also gets to talk about some harder games, DMC new and old, and GTA V vs. Saint’s Row: The Third. Also, Nightwing is a badass and we need more betas! Plug in, listen up, and dubstep, y’all.
Nerdicus Maximus #27 – 10/19/2011
“I Am the Bat”– Shut your mouth, it’s time to talk about Batman: Arkham City. Yes, it is fantastic. Yes, it’s even crazier than the first game, and yes you’ll want to listen to this episode. Yeah yeah, there’s other stuff (new comics, what up!), but we both know you are listening to this for Batman. So plug in, listen up, and Batman, y’all.
Nerdicus Maximus #26 – 10/12/2011
“Test Yo Might”– British television, Deus Ex, fighters, casting comic book movies, and mini-games all on today’s episode of Nerdicus Maximus! Disregard that hissing sound, because we also go into the intricacies of beating up a car. Seriously, there’s some finesse required there. Horrible Bosses feature people being people, and damn funny people at that. Oh, and seriously, go watch American Horror Story. You’ll thank us. Plug in, listen up, and keep it nerdy, y’all.
Nerdicus Maximus #25 – 10/5/2011
“Aquaman is Cool Now”– We are actually starting out with the song this time! Lauren is sick, Jason jumps in later on, but joining the show is the one and only Chad Woods! We share our thoughts, excitements, and disappointments with the iPhone 4S announcement. Ibrahim has played through most of Resistance 3 and he gives us thoughts on that. Chad goes into what has changed in Diablo 3, and we start to salivate just a little bit. The Battlefield 3 beta is open to everyone, but not everyone loves it. BioWare messed up and Jason is angry! Finally, we get down to the big comic releases of the past couple weeks. Holy crap, guys… Aquaman is awesome! Plug in, listen up, and keep it nerdy, y’all.
Nerdicus Maximus #24 – 9/28/2011
“Alfred Pennyworth is Amazing”– Hey hey, with the absence of Jason and Ibrahim, we’re joined by one of Lauren’s friends, Anna Jones! Nelson, Lauren, and Anna get onto some serious topics in this one, the main one being sexy comics. Sexy, sexy comics… Anyway, we go into sex and sexualization in comic books. Moving away from that, we talk about the comic book movies that we would watch over and over again. Comics, Hobbits, spandex, and Sigourney Weaver abound! Plug in, listen up, and keep it nerdy, y’all.
Nerdicus Maximus #23 – 9/21/2011
“Gamers for Science!”– Nerdicus gets into some interesting news as Netflix decides to split its services in two! How do we feel? How do you feel? Will it last?! Probably not! Nelson gets a chance to rant about Devil May Cry again. DC is rebooting its ENTIRE line of comics, we get into a civil argument about loyalty to game consoles and whether or not Uncharted sucks. Big in the news lately is gamers solving an enzyme puzzle that could help development of an AIDS vaccine. On the lighter side, we found a YouTube singer who does literal video game trailers, so we play one for Assassin’s Creed: Revelations. Lastly, fighting games! Stick around until the end because we have a new theme song! Plug in, listen up, and keep it nerdy, y’all.
Nerdicus Maximus #22 – 9/14/2011
“A Tale of Two Laurens”– What? Two Laurens?! Lauren Katchuk joins Lauren Davis (yeah, she’s back!) while we await Jason’s arrival. On today’s show: Heavy Rain is heavy, British TV is great, Law & Order/X-Files crossovers, Deus Ex has a floof, and we all want lightsabers! Plug in, listen up, and keep it nerdy, y’all.
Nerdicus Maximus #21 – 9/7/2011
