While I thought this week would have been more nerdy…it wasn’t til the weekend were I finally got a few good nerd licks in.

Two things from this last week:

1) I discovered the new X-Men cartoon on NickToons Network.  I had no idea they had a new Nick channel and as I was surfing for ANYTHING but the Pistons slaughter in Cleveland to watch on Saturday night, I ran into this channel and their mini-marathon of “Wolverine and the X-Men“.

When growing up (say in college) they had a pretty solid X-Men cartoon on Fox for about 4 or 5 years.  The animation was crap, but the stories were pretty deep and pulled straight from the comic book.  I have to say, after watching seven episodes, this one is pretty good too!  The animation is much better, there is some computer work with vehicles (like on the new “Batman: The Brave and the Bold“) but it’s pretty limited.  The cartoon is episodic, but you can still get a decent pay-off if you saw them as stand alones.  I added it to the DVR.  If you are nerdy, like the X-Men and get NickToons Network…then watch!  Here’s the promo clip…

Then on Sunday, my brother and his wife came over to the house.  My brother brought a gift…it was my VERY FIRST STAR WARS FIGURE CASE!!!  And inside were 39 original figures from all three of the first movies including my very first Chewbacca AND Tuskin Raider!  He said he found it in a box of stuff he’d been carrying around with him for years.  Oh happy day!

I never did get back on the computer to play Lego: Batman…but soon my pretty…soon…

Until next week!
