1. Anne Hathaway got married! Wasn't she, like, sooooooo prettty? No, I don't know what that big thing on her head is. Yes, I know it's some kind of veil / headpiece / Beats By Dre headphone prototype, but it's still very pretty. Expect brides to start requesting this look when it's time to get "jacked up" on Say Yes To The Dress.

2. Hotel Transylvania won the box office this weekend! This is the biggest opening for an Adam Sandler movie in a long time. Of course, it's an animated film, so, maybe people are just trying to send Sandler a message about how they want to see him in future films: voice only.

3. Lindsay Lohan was the victim of a crime! That almost never happens! Usually Lindsay is the one in trouble! Unfortunately, all charges against this alleged perpetrator were dropped. Aw, damn. Still none for you, Lindsay Lohan.

4. Speaking of Lindsay Lohan, did you see the latest video from our friends at Barely Political? Our very own Grace Helbig and Beth Hoyt play Lindsay Lohan and Amanda Bynes, respectively, who have teamed up to give the public some driving advice! And it's funny because irony!

5. Finally, today marks the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness month! Are you a lady? Make sure you do your self-examination! Are you the one out of every three women who are too afraid to do the self-exam? Ask someone to help! I'm sure you will have lots of volunteers.

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 response to the new Facebook guidelines I hereby declare that my copyright is attached to all of my personal details, illustrations, comics, paintings, professional photos and videos, etc. (as a result of the Berner Convention).

Blah blah blah.  What is this junk everyone is posting to Facebook?  Oh yeah, really seems like a binding legal contract.  Really seems like this is a surefire way to not get your Facebook shit stolen and put into a movie or a play or something.  "What's that?  Spielberg used my status from three years ago as the basis of his new blockbuster movie!?  Damn it!"

Yeah, no one cares about any of your comics or paintings, bro.   So instead of posting that long, boring, probably ineffective statement to your wall, why not share the season finale of Status Kill?  It's more fun and once someone sees you've shared it they won't DARE try and steal ANY of your personal details.  Why, you ask?  Here are some reasons:

1) It shows that you have good taste.  Jesse Cowell's direction of the series, in my opinion, is simply masterful.  It's his complete vision, as he is also the creator and writer of the entire Status Kill series.  I love it when one man takes what is in his head and turns it into a reality.  

2) Because I'm in it!  I make a quick cameo as The Mad Tagger, who I had played in THIS episode of Status Kill earlier in the season.  I also share the scene with my good buddy Chip!

3) The special effects are so uber sweet it'll be a fabulous distraction to those attempting to steal your identity.  I know first hand that Chris Dimino spent a lot of time working on the special effects in Status Kill and they all came out amazing.  Seriously, you won't find better special effects than this on the entire interweb.  

4) The acting prowess of Ayinde Howell, who plays Denton Sparks, a bad ass who will surely kick the crap out of anybody who steals anything from your Facebook account…if you post this to your wall.

5) There are more reasons, but they're all encapsulated by this statement: STATUS KILL RULES.  Watch it.  You will not be disappointed.  Trust me.

Hey America, thanks for voting!

No matter which candidate you were gunning for I'm sure we can all agree on one thing: we're happy the election is over. That and the fact that Donald Trump is an irrelevant knucklehead.

Now we can all focus on the important issues like fixing the economy and making comedy videos... and water jetpacks!

Life can be pretty hard to navigate - kind of like an RPG.  Sometimes there are a lot of obstacles - kind of like a turn based strategy game.  Any which way you slice it, life can sometimes feel like World 8 of Super Mario Bros. 3.
