Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town Preview
On March 23, 2021, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town will be coming out for the Nintendo Switch. With Harvest Moon: One World already released and its reviews tanking so low, I, for one, am looking forward to Story of Seasons. Many people are obsessed with these farming/love simulators. Fans play them with a passion, and when one comes out, hardcore fans defend it well regardless of which studio releases their game first.

You Should Watch Spectreman at Least Once in Your Lifetime and Here's Why
In a recent nerdy conversation with my friend Shane, he suggested I watch a 1970s Japanese television show called Spectreman. Watching his face light up as he explained how much he loved the main character and the joy it brought to him convinced me I should give Spectreman a watch. He had me so interested, I told him that I would write an article about the show. So, after work, I went home, made a simple Google search, found the English dubbed episodes on a Youtube playlist, and sat down at my computer to watch the first episode.

Avatar Studios: Details, Daydreams, and...Another Stream Subscription?
Yip yip! More Appa? More Uncle Iroh? More Kyoshi, please and thank you! ViacomCBS announced the creation of Nickelodeon Avatar Studios! I have been an avid fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender since I watched it with my younger brother when we were kids. My fascination with the Four Nations is alive again in finding that my eight-year-old daughter, who has previously rejected all things nerdy and divine, fell in love with the original animated show. It has become not only a shared interest but also a bonding experience. Her love of water-bending, however, has our bathroom a straight-up mess. The flooded tile is the only thing I would change about the new enthusiasm for Avatar inside my house, though. We have watched all of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra several times.

Here we go again, the never-ending blame game of linking violent video games to real-world crime. The latest attack on violent video games comes from a State Representative in Illinois. Representative Marcus Evans Jr calls for the sale of violent video games like Grand Theft Auto V to be banned in his state. The reason for the ban is debatable, but Rep. Evans believes a recent uptick in carjackings is directly linked to individuals being influenced by violent video games. Before we continue discussing the proposed ban, let us dive deeper into some of the so-called violent video games to better understand what is causing this uproar.

How WandaVision And Marvel Sparked The Growth Of My Wife's Nerd Flower
Buddha once said, "If we could see the miracle of a single episode of WandaVision, clearly our whole life would change." Ok, I admit, Buddha was talking about flowers, not a TV show. But maybe if he had watched WandaVision or any other Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, he would have had them in mind.
