SDCC Interviews: When Nerds Attack

Remus felt a stir of excitement as he returned from the bathroom to survey the array of books spread across the table in the library that he and Electra had commandeered for the evening. He had a solid two feet of parchment filled and the last foot he needed nicely outlined. He simply needed a few more good footnotes to summarize the importance of Latin in Ancient Runes despite their numerical roots. Not only did he feel accomplished, he was having fun working on the assignment with someone equally curious about the more mundane complexities of the subject.

Remus tutored many students and usually he felt he was operating on a different level from them--and then there was James and Sirius who could’ve been brilliant if they just applied themselves. Instead, he had to sneak off to complete the work they deemed unnecessary. Electra wasn’t like that. She had even added a section to her own paper about how Ancient Runes developed in relationship to the other languages she spoke. Remus was impressed by her mastery. He slid back into his seat beside her grinning ear to ear. “Did you find the word you were searching for?” He asked.

He had written a particularly insightful paragraph on the Latin root of guise (habitu) and the relationship between the Latin and French use of demi. Still, he felt like she had him beat with her knowledge of languages. “Do you think that there’s some significance to the numbers represented by concepts rather than physical attributes of the creatures?” He asked, reaching for the book next to her. He bumped against her arm and jumped away quickly. “--Oh, I’m sorry,” he mumbled, before staring at the book. “I’m just--this is very exciting to talk like this about one of my classes.”

It is Super Bowl Sunday after all...everyone else has their flair on *shoulder shrug* why not.

Petition to make Super Cosplay Sunday on the same day as Super Bowl Sunday from here on out...

Admitting that I'm a total pessimist when it comes to these things, I did do a little digging around on the Charity Buzz website and it seems that they do these kind of fundraisers often.  In fact,...

Almost Human Preview

So Friday night of New York Comic Con, fans were treated to three screenings of new Fox shows. I won’t deny that I only stayed for one--and that was Almost Human, the new vehicle produced by J.J Ab...

Well this is my first article for When Nerds Attack.com , the site I just started working for.

It's almost time for Nerd Xmas!

So the holidays are coming (but not before Thanksgiving...no one puts Thanksgiving in a corner!) and I gotta ask:

What does your little nerd heart desire most?

I'm working on an article for our beloved blog When Nerds Attack and would love to hear some ideas!
