Whoever said geeks were a dirty, smelly bunch are about to eat their words. Or maybe eat soap. You know how bitter those geeks can be after years of teasing.

Get the XBOX 360 Controller for $11

User DigitalSoaps from the craft site, Etsy.com, has made our collective dreams come true by combining two awesome things - showers and video games. Soap…shaped like video game controllers. Who would have thought of such a thing? A lady named Chrystal Doucette, that’s who. She’s the creator of these nerdy cleansing apparatuses and is actually a mild-mannered reporter by day. You mean, like SUPERMAN?!? It’s a match made in nerdy heaven!

Hello again GEN readers! It’s Jill a.k.a. The Nerdy Bird back with another installment of DoubleDCoverage.  But wait!  What’s this #1 business all about? Well, the column has been going through some renovations recently and it seemed only fitting to play off a certain trend in comics. 

Sometimes a book runs it’s course but starts up again at a later date. Usually the numbering will pick up where it left off but sometimes, in the case of a major reboot, they’ll restart it at #1 to grab new readers.  That’s where DoubleDCoverage finds itself. Instead of a multiverse worth of reviews every two weeks you’ll be seeing two reviews once a week (I like Double too much!), plus a “star” rating (out of 5) for any other book I read that week. But wait! There’s more! I’ll also be listing which books I plan to pick up the following week and you get to help choose which two I review for the next installment!

Alright, enough talking, let’s get to it!

MKVDCU is a perfect example of why Midway is on the endangered publishers list. It takes a vaguely intriguing concept and executes it with such mediocrity that even the team behind the upcoming Chun-Li film would be ashamed. Then, to make matters worse, Midway attempts to take their notoriously M-rated series and water it down for a broader, more family-friendly audience. The gimmick of violence was all Mortal Kombat ever had going for it, and now the fatalities have been reduced to little more than Tom and Jerry drollery.

So much has been going on with DC Comics the last week and a half. Now I’m kind of glad I waited to write anything about it. To be a fly on the wall over there right now, or dare I say, a Beetle, would be very interesting indeed.
