I've been away for a while (mostly watching the pilots to some great new shows, and a few terrible ones), but I have returned to help you procrastinate at work or ignore an exam or two.
1. “Nerdist: Play – The State of the Nintendo Wii U” – Malik Forté covered the apparent upswing of the Nintendo Wii U over on Nerdist.com and it makes me want to get one even more (I've been debating whether or not to buy one to play Smash Bros). As Malik pointed out, the virtual console is wonderful, and there are a ton of games that will draw me to the console on top of Smash Bros. and Mario Kart. I'm probably going to end up getting one next year, but maybe this video will move you to shell out some cash as well: http://www.nerdist.com/vepisode/nerdist-play-the-state-of-the-nintendo-wii-u/
2. “LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham Official Brainiac Trailer” – You know, I didn't think I'd ever be attracted to a LEGO game, but watching a blocky Joker sing "I’ve got the whole world in my pants" and witnessing the menace that is Brainiac try to take over the world makes me rethink my stance. Thanks to Amanda for dropping this little gem on us: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jkbBA27zSs
3. “Video Game High School - Season 3: Episode 1” – Sure, there are plenty of new and old shows premiering on your television screens, but few of them are as awesome as VGHS. Season 3 just kicked off this week, and it is already thick with drama in what I can accurately say is the best fake high school ever. If you feel like binge watching the entire 3rd season, the guys over at Rocket Jump have made it available for purchase. Like, right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nhiRE2hfFJc
4. “Lauren's ‘Neapolitan’ Dynamite Practice Dance” – I just like when people lose bets and have to do embarrassing things. Lauren from the Screw Attack YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB9_VH_CNbbH4GfKu8qh63w) lost a half gallon challenge (and puked), so she had to do the dance from Napoleon Dynamite (which I've never seen). I'm sure many of you have seen the movie, and will get this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE5NY8rxXRA&src_vid=-o2SV6ynJYQ&feature=iv&annotation_id=annotation_658210
5. “Rogue VS Wonder Woman DEATH BATTLE! ScrewAttack” – Speaking of Screw Attack, here's one of their famous death battles between one of my all-time favorite Marvel characters, Rogue, versus Wonder Woman, who just got her own movie (in 2017). I'm voting for Rogue to win, but I'm biased (and not a big Wonder Woman fan): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OU-6G-oIdQ
That's all I got folks. While that's all the internet videos this week, I can totally recommend watching the new Flash show, because it's awesome. Arrow feels a little slower than usual, but in the second episode The Green Arrow and another archer basically joust with motorcycles, so that's worth watching. I've written Gotham off completely though; I can totally do without that show. Watch Scorpion on CBS instead. It's about socially inept geniuses, and one of them is like Sherlock Holmes.
