Nerdtastic in 3D has reached the 20’s!!!  Are you one of those people that obsesses over subtle audio design?  Do you listen to movie soundtracks on your way home from work? If audio is your thing, then you’ve come to the right place.  This week, the crew moves to a new location, tries out an interesting new rotating video trick, and discusses a multitude of topics from a new VR-like project from Google, the trailer for the Total Recall remake, and if Motion Capture will ever make keyframe animation obsolete.  But it’s episode 20, which is a special one, which means the guys aren’t stopping there.  The crew takes an in depth look at two of the most prominent movie composers of our time, and how their styles differ dramatically.

This week on Nerdtastic in 3D, the crew revisits Autonomous Driverless Cars.  Are they the wave of the future, or just a dream?  Would you trust a computer to drive you around? Literally putting your life in the hands of a machine?  The crew also takes a hard look at a recent announcement from Digital Domain, wonders why Angry Birds is really so popular, and studies what James Cameron seems to be doing lately with his Avatar/Titanic fortune.  They don’t stop there however, what would a discussion about money be without aiming for the moon!!!

Have you ever wondered if there was a Super Secret Federal Agent living next door to you?  Have you ever been curious about black ops divisions in the military so secret, their names can’t be mentioned publicly?  Have you ever thought about what would happen if you had to choose between your friends’ lives vs. a total stranger’s.  This week, the Nerdtastic crew brings in  a VERY special guest, who shares a bit about his amazing life story, making everyone ask themselves these very questions and more.  Who is this special guest you ask?  Let’s put in this way.  If you’ve ever stood in front of a mirror, thinking the person before you was THE great American bad-ass…….you’d be wrong!!!!

Where are Corey Feldman and Corey Haim?  At episode 16, we’ve got a License to Drive!!!  It’s a beautiful Spring-ish evening in Nerdtastic-land, that must mean it’s time for an iPad update, maybe even a new console from a game developer.  Jack, Jason, and Josh take a look at these and more.  From the the Lulzsec leader of Anonymous, to the popularity of the Windows 8 Consumer Preview and much more, we don’t just tell the myths, we put them to the TEST!  Wait, that’s somebody else’s tagline isn’t it?

The 3 J’s.  Josh, Jack and Jason are left, as Nerdtastic in 3d is 2 men down this week.  Never fear though, as the crew still manages to tickle your inner ear-bones with yet more humor and imaginative discussion.  Modern Warfare 3 map “Overwatch,” thoughts on yet another disappointing Oscars, the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, re-invisioning of Microsoft Flight Simulator, and a thought-provoking discussion on the future (or re-invention) of the modern “Desktop Computer,” are just a few of the many topics in this week’s journey into the mind of NERD!
