It has come to our attention recently here at Nerds on the Rocks that there is a growing part of the population suffering from a very severe and life-threatening disorder, and there is little acknowledgement of this disorder in the public place. What is this disorder you may ask? Well quite simple, its the growing …

Nostalgia with A Twist: Beast Wars: Transformers
Welcome one and all to the second edition of Nostalgia with a Twist. And no the twist won’t have you regretting it in the morning, or it could, I’m not making promises either way. In this edition, we once again look at a cartoon series I have very little connection with, but was recommended by …

Dual Wielding 2: We’re Back
After what seems like an eternity (and several guest spots on NoTR), we were able to round up the four meanest, toughest, baddest hombres this side of the Atlantic. One so tough he cuts himself just to prove he will bleed for his passion. Another, who rode into town just to run off some local …

Nostalgia with a Twist: Bucky O’Hare
There’s an old expression that “you should never judge a book by its cover” and while that expression generally works well, here at Nerds on the Rocks like to do things a bit different. Some might even say we like to do it with a twist. So instead of marathoning through a single season of a TV …

Zombie Survival Guide: Tip 3
Much overlooked in the world of fleeing and killing zombies, is anything not related to bashing, maiming, or shooting. While those are all very important in surviving and stopping a Zombie Apocalypse, so are dry socks. During a Zombie Apocalypse, you will be on your feet 90% of the time, and it will never be …

Elixir Mixer: A-Bomb
Welcome dear adventurer. Off to fight the deadly hippopotamoose of Lubrication Hill are ye? The hell you aren’t with that flimsy splinter of metal you call a sword. Old Pottamoose would use it as a toothpick after devouring you, scanty tunic and all. (Seriously, could you cover up your man-bits a little better?) What you …

House Special: Motion Controls Where We Are
With Sony and Microsoft set to release their motion control solution by the end of the year, I thought it was time to look back at the advancements that motion controls have made in the past 3 1/2 years on the Wii. Looking at the Wii’s line-up, most would assume that motion controls are only …

Review Scale on The Rocks
Doing things by the books is never the Nerds way so why should reviews be any different? Instead of focusing on a numerical scale (like anyone wants to read a review in binary) or using an alphabetical rating (is there anything other than As?), we decided to use a more unique rating system. Introducing, the …
