With the highly anticipated Avengers movie being released on May 4, it just seemed like an obvious choice to put together a list of songs about The Avengers. Some of the tracks are actually about the characters themselves, others simply share names with the characters, and some are about the “original” versions of the characters.

The more creative among us have taken the age-old idea of the “little green man from Mars” and expanded upon it, bringing us some pretty memorable characters who are, if not exactly environmentally conscious (or even human), quite literally the right color to represent the Earth’s cause. Here are five of my favorites.

I did a little digging and realized that Buffy the Vampire Slayer just had its fifteenth anniversary back on March 10. Although I’m a little late to the party, I decided this would be a good occasion for a musical tribute to one of my favorite TV shows.

I love Final Fantasy and I’ve recently completed my goal of owning all the games (well, I don’t have XIII-2 and the MMOs, which I don’t want, but I shall get XIII-2 soon). So in celebration, I’m posting my top 10 favorite characters from all the Final Fantasy games.

And there seem to be an awful lot of JoCo and Frontalot tracks this time (and one that sort of combines them both!). Hope nobody minds!

What would be some interesting, but sometimes unexpected, covers for different geeky artists to perform? For my April Fools’ edition, I will attempt to answer the question: wouldn’t it be awesome if this artist performed this song?

I recently saw the movie The Magnificent Seven. Then I had an idea: while the TV version of The Magnificent Seven did okay, maybe it would do better set during different time periods! So here are the eras I think The Magnificent Seven could be in.

Every console cycle brings improvements over the previous generation. But there are still a few things that are still with us today, even after decades of improvements and refinements. Below are my top three things that need to be done with in gaming.

I often use music videos in my lists and reviews, but I’ve never yet written about the videos themselves. With this list, I’m going to change that.

In Part Two of this introduction to the next generation of nerdcore, I feature several artists that are new to me. Most of them I discovered while putting together this article, in fact.
