The Most Beloved Man on the Internet stumbles upon THE BOX. What is in THE BOX? Gold? Money? A lifetime supply of Chewy Bars? Find out!

I can't imagine there's a person alive today that ISN'T aware of Duke Nukem, more specifically the legend that is Duke Nukem Forever. For those who don't (who I'd imagine live in caves without internet -- also, I'd be eager to know how exactly you're reading this... stealing someone's WiFi?), I'm about to hit you up with a history lesson:

In the early 90's there was the beginning of a big boom in First Person Shooter games (which still sort of goes on today with games like Halo, Half-Life 2, and Call of Duty.) with games such as Wolfenstein and Doom. In 1997, a little company known at the time as Apogee (eventually renamed 3D Realms) threw their hat into the ring by revamping their 2D sidescroller Duke Nukem into its own FPS, thus making it one of the more (if not most) popular FPS's of all time. I personally remember playing it on the computers at school... after hours, of course.

Shortly afterwards, 3D Realms announced a sequel to DN3D. I know I was jazzed myself to hear the news... I even remember reading about it in PC Gamer magazine. Since then, the game itself has essentially become the Chinese Democracy of video games. Since its original announcement in 1997, the game has been in limbo and dead more times than Jason from Friday the 13th. In the past couple of years, it was announced that 3D Realms was closing, which lead to a lawsuit from Duke Nukem's publisher Take-Two (now 2K Games.)

Hey there, Blerpgoers! John J. (a.k.a.: The Most Beloved Man on the Internet, The Mad Scientist, Snappy Dresser, etc. etc.) here for the first time on NerdBlerp.com. Without too much fanfare, I give you the first of many articles, reviews, videos, etc. that you can expect from me and my infinite knowledge of television, animation, pop-culture, etc.

In early September... shortly before my epic adventures in Hotlanta and Dragon*Con 2010, I received a nice little surprise, courtesy of EntertainmentEarth.comin the form of Bif Bang Pow's brand new line of Venture Bros. Action Figures. The figures are in the vain of the old 1970's Mego figuresand in my personal opinion... nothing short of awesome.

Here are some vids I manged to pump out this past week. Again, my thanks to both Entertainment Earth as well as GeekGirlDiva who were so gracious to send some Venture 3 for me to review:
