This week sees the premiere of All Things Good And Nerdy Episode 006 - We Play For Keeps. \xa0Want to know where the episode title came from? \xa0I guess you better tune into the podcast!\n\nThe panel was all over this week in their discussion and a variety of topics were touched upon. \xa0The show started with the panel addressing the current trend of zero-day DLC and how many\xa0companies\xa0seem to be embracing this plan in an effort to squeeze a few more dollars out of gamers. \xa0Next up was a discussion of how big comic companies like Marvel and DC have announced upcoming stories revolving around gay characters. \xa0The common consensus is this seems like a cash grab. \xa0If a character is gay that's great, but the companies should focus on telling good stories not publicity.\n\nNext 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. \xa0However, its no Avengers. \xa0Continuing the movie trend, the panel took time to make fun of Battleship and its lack of box office success. \xa0Finally, the panel discussed\xa0Prometheus\xa0and\xa0expressed\xa0some worries as to how good the movie will be.\n\nTo wrap the show up, the panel moved in to talking about video games. \xa0Some of the topics included a rumored Star Fox and Metroid combined game, the current list of games that will be displayed at E3, the record sales of Minecraft, and a conversation on indie game bundles. \xa0Two sites were directly referenced, they were:\n\nIndie Gala -\xa0http://www.indiegala.com/#\n\nIndie Game Bundles -\xa0http://www.indiegamebundles.com/category/active/\n\nThe panel this week consisted of:\n\nThe Adahy -\xa0www.twitch.tv/theadahygaming or\xa0@TheAdahy\n\nChris -\xa0www.nerdsoftheroundtable.com or\xa0@RoundTableNerds\n\nNaki -\xa0www.onenerdycupcake.wordpress.com or\xa0@1nerdycupcake\n\nThis week also featured special guest host Gene.\n\nIt was a fun panel this week. \xa0Next week everyone should be back and we'll have another guest host. \xa0Remember if you're interested in guest hosting let us know!\n\nIf you only remember one thing from this week's episode, remember that some people just want to cut you.
