I’m your nerd host, Chris Hardwick
Nerdist is a place where we nerds come together and share the nerdery that we find. It's also my home to various elements of the Nerdist Empire. You might recognize me from TV. You don't realize that's where you know me from, but it is. You think you went to college with me or I look like your cousin's friend, but that is not the case. At one time or another you stumbled upon me on your moving picture box in such cerebral gems as MTV's "Singled Out" and Noam Chomsky's "Shipmates." and so much more...
Say hello to the contributors.
I haven’t played Guardians of Middle Earth, but it sounds like a MOBA to me. That is to say the same genre of DotA and League of Legends.
Alternate episode title: The Tatau of Steve
Fun Fact- Both this podcast and the new Nerdist podcast briefly mentioned those surgical masks that Japanese people use to avoid spreading disease…and apparently pollution.
whoa! just checked out WILL SASSO’S VINE ACCOUNT….
HILLARIOUS! never knew a non-cat could make me laugh more than once in less than 7 seconds.
Thanks for the re-komm.
Yes! So glad Agee is back!
Your description of the iPad game “The Room” reminded me of a flash game I played back in 2004, called Crimson Room.. it was pretty tough and involved moving around a room finding clues, using inventory items together to solve puzzles, etc.
Dead Space is just resting!

@videoTHL – I was going to mention that game! It started an “escape the room” craze, right?
That one Japanese dude made Crimson Room, Viridian Room, Blue Chamber and White Chamber. The first one is the best, pretty much. Viridian is kinda hard…here’s a link to Crimson Room for any interested parties:

Did you know that there is an honest-to-goodness video game adaptation of the movie The Room? It’s brilliant: http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/547307
Had no idea Combichrist did the soundtrack to DMC! If you want similar stuff but with less screaming, check out another project from the same guy: Icon of Coil.
Unfortunately Guardians of Middle Earth is not free on playstation for plus members. I got super psyched when you guys talked about it on the show, sounded fun!
