Twitter... come ON!

How am I supposed to send drunk tweets if you crash?! I'm definitely not about to drunkenly update my Facebook status-- that'd just be silly!

Ugh, you're embarrassing yourself, Twitter. Thank god I still have a way to learn about news and stuff when you-- my main source of news-- crashes!!!

AAAARRRRRGGGHHH!!!

If this post doesn't get me to triple digit Twitter followers, I'm gonna flip. @MrChrisDonahue

What are you doing tonight at around, oh say, Midnight?

You're watching the premiere of Newsreaders on Adult Swim? Correct.

Why wouldn't you watch it? It's got everything: action, adventure, romance, Dan Rather... the news! Our pal David Wain is an Executive Producer of the show and it's a spinoff of his show Childrens Hospital, and it stars Mather Zickel, whom My Damn Channel fans know from our show Horrible People, so obviously it's going to be super funny, I mean OBVIOUSLY.

You can catch the show tonight on Adult Swim at Midnight, like I said before if you weren't actually paying attention, or you can watch it now on the YouTube.

Do it! Tweet me what you think. @MrChrisDonahue

Greetings Nerds, let's get on with it already! This week in Nerd News:

-I know, I know, I talk about Skyrim a lot. But, ERMAHGERD NEW SKYRIM DLC!  Scheduled for release on December 7^th, Dragonborn is Skyrim’s third expansion to come out this year.  From the looks of it, every Dovahkiin’s wish of being able to ride dragons will finally be granted. However, no one knows whether or not you'll be able to actually control the dragon or if it will just be a cut scene between traveling. I’ll be sure to give you all the information once it finally hits Xbox Live.

-For most Whovians, the first five episodes of Series 7 was hardly enough for us, so we scrounge for any piece of news we get our hands on until the Christmas special.  Luckily, we've got our hands on some exciting info:  Neil Gaiman is back on to write another episode about the Cybermen!  

-Saga issue #7 comes out next Wednesday after a long two month hiatus! If you aren't following Brian K. Vaughan's newest romp, definitely be sure to check this one out. Like I said, it's only seven issues in and has been collected into a trade paperback form, so you really have no reason not to. While I was at NYCC I was able to attend the Saga Panel and they revealed the covers for the next few issues. And let me tell you, they were goregous!*

That's all I have for you guys this week!  Be sure to check out Kristina's Answerly video later today for more nerdiness.

*with tons of robot sex and gore, Saga is very NSFW.  Read at your own risk!

In a presidential campaign full of curious quotes and copious fact checking, Vice President Joe Biden has mostly managed to fly beneath the radar. But with tonight’s VP debates, it’s time for Mr. Biden to shine.

Joe Biden is less likely to be fact checked than he is to be laughed at. Well, maybe laughed with. You see, Joe’s a swell guy, but he’s got a bit of a mouth on him. And it tends to say stuff. Stuff that nobody, not even Joe, planned for it to say. It just comes out. It’s kind of adorable, really.

After spending some time rummaging through the VP’s accidental greatest hits, like telling a man in a wheelchair to stand up, asking for “a web site’s number” or talking about the president’s “big stick”, it seemed like this is the one to beat:

"Folks, I can tell you I've known eight presidents, three of them intimately."

And that’s what tonight is all about. Yes, we'd love to hear Mr. Biden’s highly qualified opinions on foreign policy and tax rates, but we really want to know if Uncle Joe is going to top his assertion that he’s had sexual relations with three U.S. presidents.

Maybe he’ll name names!

We're the headline on Deadline Hollywood this morning!

Thanks to the premiere of the latest episode of Daddy Knows Best, we jumped 40 spots in their weekly ranking of YouTube Channels, with views up over 428%!

Did you watch the premiere of Daddy Knows Best during My Damn Channel LIVE on Wednesday? Were you one of the THOUSANDS of people who started watching us on YouTube this week? Are you one of the THOUSANDS who subscribed to us on YouTube this week? Welcome! Thank you! We'd like to see more of you! We're going to throw a parade in your honor later this summer!*

(*Parade-throwing may not be true.)

Hey Nerds, lots of exciting things to tell you about this week, so let's get into it!  This week in Nerd News:

-It has been nearly a year since we've seen the original Grand Theft Auto 5 trailer, but Rockstar has been steadily releasing info this week, including a brand new trailer.  I, for one, am so stoked!  According to Rockstar, you'll play as three main characters: Michael, Trevor, and Franklin.  This is the first time ever that you'll play more than one character in a GTA game, but for good reason.  Ever finish a mission and then have to drive all the way across the map to get to the next mission?  No more.  Now you'll be able to jump between characters and take control of them as they are going about their daily life.  You'll even be able to switch between them during missions as long as they are present.  Don't want to be so close to the action?  Switch to a character who is across the street and provide cover by sniping people off.

-For a long time video games have been extremely hard to make and even harder to get your hands on the tools to make them, thus the lack of creativity.  L.A. Game Space looks to bring video games back into the hands of the gamers.  The goal of the L.A. Game Space is to experiment and create art out of video games.  There are for main components of the L.A. Game Space:  Residential, Galleries, Research Labs, and the Speaker Series.  It's all very interesting and complex, so be sure to go to their Kickstarter page and read more about it.  However, if you do decide to donate, you'll get an awesome package of 30 games from people like Pendleton Ward, the maker of Adventure Time! 

I could go on and on about more that happened this week, but I'll spare you guys.  Be sure to watch Kristina's Answerly video later today for more Nerdy goodness!
