Books
1. “Chronicles of the Roc Rider” Launches on Amazon!
Is it a bit self-serving to put my own book in the Get Nerdy On Thirty? Perhaps, but I’m really excited about it! As of this posting the print and ebook versions are now available for purchase on Amazon. Woo hoo!
2. Semifinalist Update for “The Self-Published Fantasy Blog Off”

Movies/Shows
3. “Voltron: Legendary Defender” Explores the Story Behind Voltron’s Creation
I haven’t personally checked out the new series yet, but as kid I was a huge fan of the original Voltron. The idea that the new series is exploring Voltron’s origins and the creators of the five lions is really exciting to me.

Video Games
5. New “Star Wars: Battlefront II” Announced
I didn’t buy the new Star Wars Battlefront reboot after hearing about the slew of problems and lack of features compared to the original SWBF 2. However, I may consider buying this new version of SWBF 2, as it looks like the new SWBF we were hoping the first reboot would be.
6. Niagara Falls to Open Mario Kart Style Racetrack
If you are a gamer who hasn’t played Mario Kart–OH WAIT I can’t finish that sentence because such a thing doesn’t exist. This looks like fun, although Niagara Falls seems like an odd place to build it to me. Will they have the blue shell?

7. Villains You’d Want to Have on Your Side in a Tough Spot
The folks at Looper may have a point. These guys could come in pretty handy…you know, aside from that whole ‘being evil’ thing.
8. Funniest Places People Have Found Magikarp in “Pokemon GO”
Sometimes pokemon show up in very strange places in Pokemon GO. Where these magikarp showed up is just priceless!
