There’s something incredibly sleazy about playing The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks and 3D Dot Game Heroes back-to-back. It’s basically like going on a comfortable date with your long-time girlfriend, taking her home, and then sneaking out to spend time with some crazy stalker chick who dresses exactly like your girlfriend in order to catch your attention. And you’ve been dating your girlfriend for 20 years and you really like her, but after all that time you can’t help but feel like your relationship is getting a little stale and predictable. And the stalker chick is a lot younger, and specifically styles herself to look like your girlfriend did back when you were in junior high and she was the class hottie who you thought was way out of your league — plus, the stalker adds an extra touch of daring, modern sexiness that your girlfriend never would even consider, conservative and modest as she is.

3D Dot Game Heroes

It looks like the original Legend of Zelda was turned sideways and no one bothered to up the graphics. What I’m trying to say is it looks perfect.

A brief rundown of major weak points on famous villains.  So much is covered on this one page it’s unbelievable.  I never thought there could possible be a chart containing Ghoma from Zeda, Achilles  from Greek Mythology and an AT-AT walker from Star Wars.

photo It’s Thanksgiving.  But, this is also Nerdology, so it’s only appropriate to list the top 5 pieces of technology I’m thankful for.
Laptops - I only became a laptop user about 13 months and now I can’t imagine being without one.  I’m typing this post in my living room…
Xbox Live - I’ve been a Live user since and there’s no going back for me.  New graphics, new consoles, new games are great, don’t get me wrong, but Xbox Live is what makes all my favorite games work better.  I would not love Boarderlands as much as I do if I couldn’t play it online with friends.
iPhone - Though I’ve been dreaming about the Pre recently, my heart (and wallet) will be with the iPhone for a long time.  I’ve had one since day one (yes I waited in line) and It’s really evolved becoming more and more a staple in my everyday life.  I also don’t know how I would have done anything in other states without it.
Canon 7D - Yes, I’ve only had it for a few weeks, but it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made in a while.  It’s really solid, feels good in my hands and all of the controls are extremely logical.
People on tumblr - That’s right, I’m thankful for YOU.  I started Nerdology under a year ago and already have over 1100 followers.  You answer my questions, you read my rants and you point me in the direction of things I would have missed.  You guys are great.

Be Cautious Of Black Friday Deals

Ok, so I’m doing this as a public service announcement to anyone who is (like myself) doing their holiday shopping online.  Just some very basic protocols to follow to keep yourself out of trouble.  It’s really one protocol… if it sounds too good to be true it is.  Don’t think that your google search for some impossible to find item turned up some place that not only has stock but also has a great deal… it didn’t, and you’re about to be scammed.  ProTip: Buy from reputable sources.

Dear (some of our) readers:

copycats:

You take this blog — and likely all of the internets — too seriously.

So we’re clear, we all post here for fun! It’s not a profession… Yes, sometimes we will get information wrong; sometimes we make the error, other times we pass along someone else’s…

  • We’re sorry that we posted a Weezer cover once, that was really by Deftones.
  • We’re sorry some of you think Iron & Wine wrote “Such Great Heights.” (They didn’t.)
  • We’re sorry some of you think we can’t tell the difference between the real Neil Young and Jimmy Fallon’s impersonation. (We can.)

Also…

  • We do not actually think every cover or remix we post is good. Sometimes they’re just awful and it’s kind of funny.

But for 10 different people, with different tastes in music, living in different parts of the world amassing close to 2000 posts now — I’d like think our track record is pretty solid.

Thank you all for following, subscribing, listening, linking, and submitting. If you’re not there — then there would be no point.

I applaud direct conversations with readers.  That said, you should check out Copy Cats if you’re not following them already.  It’s usually not as funny as the above post, since it’s usually strait up music… You literally have nothing to lose.
