So, before we begin, I assure you this article is 100% genuine. An inmate in South Carolina by the name of Jonathan Lee Riches, infamous for his long, handwritten, rambling and scornful cries of injustice against the famous, the wealthy, and even structures, has really outdone himself. Filing a Third-Party motion in the federal court of Arizona in the MDY VS. Blizzard botting case, he claimed that he had actually become addicted to the game, becoming unable to remove himself from it. He blamed Blizzard for his choosing World of Warcraft over the World of sunshine and healthy air. Now, this wouldn’t have been an issue, had he not committed fraud in order to afford his living expenses and the purchase of the ‘defendants’ games. All i have to say is, w.t.f….
So I was spending some quality time with a few friends earlier, and while keeping tabs on the election, one of them decided to put a DVD into the Xbox called ‘Dokuro Chan’. At first it appeared to simply be another kawaii stylized harem anime based on nothing save the sexual embarrassment of an easily victimized young boy with a seemingly absent sex drive, and I am thrilled to say I was very, very wrong. From the first five minutes, this show makes little to no sense, and does it extremely well. While not usually a fan of the simple, bishoujo animation style the show uses, it does work well with the atmosphere.
The plot follows a young man in junior high who is oddly named Sakura (yeah it confused the hell out of me too), who is endlessly and mercilessly stalked by an angel sent from the future to kill him, this is where it gets good. The sole reason that his death has been deemed necessary by whatever forces that may be is utterly enjoyable. While creating a form of immortality he somehow stunts the aging of every female in the world at the ripe year of twelve, subsequently creating a world rampant with pedophiles.
Of course the story wouldn’t be complete if the angel sent to kill him weren’t an emotionally attached, and rather unhinged, post pubescent twelve year old with homicidal tenancies. I would explain more but I really think you all should simply experience it for yourselves. It’s different, it’s weird as hell, it’s worth at least checking out. On a scale from one to ten, I would have to give it a solid nine simply due to the extreme WTF factor. It’s got plenty of fan service and more than enough hillarity to last the entire series.’Dokuro Chan’ officially gets an OK from me.
We certainly are in the Halloween spirit here at NF aren’t we? Indeed we are.
So you know we have the Halloween Costume Contest going on right? Of course you do, because your a loyal reader who absolutely loves Nerd Fellowship…right?
So, if you have decided to participate in the Costume Contest you might want to check out this awesomely inspiring Mega Man costume a Father made for his Son (posted on destructoid).
Blood, Sweat, and Hot Pockets all went into the making of this costume.
Hey! I have the same helmet!

Haha! Classic :3
Great job Craineum! Your costume gets mega nerd cred.
Whats up my fellow nerds. Great news for all those who are dressing up this upcoming Halloween. Nerd Fellowship and FEARnet are teaming up to throw our first Halloween costume contest (contest details below) in spirit of FEARnet’s Scare-A-Bration.
FEARnet is in the midst of its “Scare-A-Bration”, leading up to Halloween . Featuring a haunting array of chilling programming (I had to go there), there will be plenty of content (i.e the broadcast premiere of The Midnight Meat Train and 66.6 Second Film Festival) to tide over horror fans until our favorite pumpkin carving holiday arrives.
Take a look at some of the highlights of the Scare-A-Bration:

IMPORTANT NOTE! All entries must have proof that you are indeed the person in the photo. Best way to do so is take a picture in costume while holding a piece of paper with the words “Nerd Fellowship” on it.
I figure I might as well post this being that every blogger on the net has decided to make this their “clip of the day”. I personal didn’t get any laughs from it and the obvious shock moment at the end where your supposed to think “OMG did she just drop the word the F-Bomb?!” made me yell out “LAME!”.
Aawww! They grow up so fuckin fast don’t they! Hey look at me! I can dropt the F-Bomb!
1. I hate sharks. I don’t care about your eco, nature preservation, on verge of extinction bullshit. All sharks suck. We have plenty of carnivorous beast out in the ocean. We don’t need a giant slug with fins and black eyes mistaking every 4-6 foot object for a seal. I HATE SHARKS! (also, I hate bees…)
2. I have waited a long time to hear a story like this, and it made my day being able to write this post’s title.
So basically, a guy stupidly let’s his football sized dog swim in shark infest waters, and SURPRISINGLY when the dog gets dragged underwater by a shark, he jumps in to rescue it. Fist go flying, and a shark swims home with a bruised ego.
Straight from the universe of awesomeness comes one of the must have nerd fashions for winter. The Mega Man beanie. That is right, keep your ears toasty while donning the iconic rock man helmet.
To bad the hat is not actually apart of a mass produced line, but rather a one time fan made piece. But for those who are talented in sewing, the creator did post a tutorial online. Click here to check it out.
Check out the pics. The creator gets +10 nerd cred.
So, after both reading a small article and going there myself to confirm it, MySpace has blocked out all the independent artists that use MySpace to distribute their music. For those of you that didn’t know, a large portion of MySpace’s success can be attributed to their music database and peoples lust for new, unheard music. Independent artists could place their music onto a page and allow others to download and listen to it as well as display a profile for the band and information regarding them. As it is now, only artists associated with major record labels can be accessed on MySpace (which, as a lot of sites are saying, is probably because those record labels all own a portion of MySpace).
So, why are we using MySpace again? Because I personally have no reason to go there now, how ’bout you folks?
Eagle Eye comes out tomorrow folks! I am excited to see it. Looks pretty good and I have my theories on the movie’s plot thought out. Hopefully my theories are wrong and I am treated to a big twist ending I never see coming.
One of the greatest marketing tatics a movie can do is launch viral sites that throw the viewer into the world of the movie. The Dark Knight launched multiple viral sites, and it helped get fans even more excited for the movie’s release. Eagle is doing the same with their website “Eagle Eye: Free Fall”.
Free Fall throws you into the set of an innocent victim who is being taken control of via phone by this mysterious eagle eye system / company / organization. The site uses your cell phone to connect you with another “asset” (that is what they call you) in order to stop him from running.
I can’t describe it all that well, but trust me, you have to check it out.
