The Geek Down

Jonny gives a roundabout review of Dark Souls 3, a deep, complicated, fascinating experience. But it's also one with unique flaws and weaknesses that you'd happily let date your sister.

Blizzard brazenly announces it'll get medieval on anyone caught cheating in Overwatch. Having already made examples of several poor SOBs, they continue to declare punishments will get harsher and we discuss the logic and fairness/unfairness of the move.

John Oliver buys $15 million in medical debt from needy patients. The news show host made headlines on some "China saves America's ass" level philanthropy by buying the owed dept away from several people in WAY over their heads with insurance companies.

Drummer Nick Menza, who played on many of Megadeth's most successful albums, died after he collapsed on stage during a show. He was 51. We give him a quick remembrance and bit of respect in our own way.

Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows and The Usos represent HARD in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship Extreme Rules Match between Roman Reigns and AJ Styles, but Seth Rollins stole the show. Along with that, Big Cass confronted The Dudley Boyz, Baron Corbin def. Dolph Ziggler in a No Disqualification Match, WWE Tag Team Champions The New Day def. The Vaudevillains, Rusev def. United States Champion Kalisto, Intercontinental Champion The Miz won a Fatal 4-Way Match, Dean Ambrose def. Chris Jericho, and JM lays it out for us.

Holy Crow and Meff come to plug their upcoming Buffy the Vampire Slayer-themed shows. Both a singalong AND some supernatural burlesque action! We nerd out a bit on Buffy and discuss the importance of Buffy in modern pop-culture, but more importantly we reveal Meff's bad attempt at pimping. An intervention might be in order...

We tried our best to contain the childish "you know who would win in a fight" urges and play a few games. Then we found it was more fun to be as childish as possible since the game proved to STILL just be regular-ass Clue, just now with Predators.

Capcom updates their set of rules for the next Capcom Pro Tour. They've barred sponsors involved in adult entertainment from taking part in the Pro Tour, as well as anyone else deemed “inappropriate” at their own discretion. This is dubious for various reasons and we recount several of them.

CBS rejected a new TV adaptation of "Nancy Drew" after the pilot, despite testing well, is deemed "too female skewed for CBS." Had the show been picked up, audiences would have been treated to a re-imagined Drew, starring Sarah Shahi, a woman of color, as a thirty-something NYPD detective. The pilot is still shopping to other outlets, meaning the series could still see the light of day, but there's no guarantee.

Talk of Independence day leads to a quick reminisce about the weirdness fo Jeff Goldblum
