Girls talking all things Nerdy
We recently found out that the teaser trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will be on the trailer pack before The Adventures of TinTin. But, for those nerds who just can’t wait to watch it on the big screen, you can watch it HERE!
Here are some new stills of the movie as well.
The Japanese launch of the PlayStation Vita has been a moderate success, with the new handheld console from Sony pushing 321,000 units in the first two days.
To put it in perspective, the rival Nintendo 3DS sold 371,000 units in the first two days. While the Vita lags behind the 3DS in terms of launch sales, the original PSP was wildly popular in Japan, so time will probably be the test as to whether the Vita’s feature set will push it ahead of the 3DS.
The North American launch of the PlayStation Vita isn’t until February 22, 2012.
Gamers will get another early look at the Wii U as Nintendo brings the hardware to CES 2012. Announced at E3 2011, the Wii U is the next generation console from Nintendo that features a touchscreen controller, as well as full 1080p high-definition graphics.
While a prototype was shown at E3 2011 in conjunction with the announcement, we still haven’t had a chance to see the full capabilities of the device, and hopefully what’s show at CES 2012 will give us some more insight into exactly what the Wii U can do.
CES is in full swing on Jan. 10.

This video from IFC’s Portlandia shows exactly how I am not the only one who sat for hours a day watching the entire series of Battlestar Galactica.
Check out an exclusive clip from the second episode of the upcoming Portlandia season, fittingly entitled “One More Episode.” This is just the first sequence in a storyline that continues throughout the whole episode.
The whole episode will air on January 13 at 10 PM EST, and you can also watch a sneak peek of the whole episode over at the Portlandia Facebook page from January 2 through 5. Portlandia‘s second season starts January 6.
Catching you up on Who news from the last week.
Steven Moffat has announced at the Press Screening today that the Ponds will leave in Season 7 and that a new companion will join the Doctor on his travels.
“The final days of the Ponds are coming during the next series,” he said. “I’m not telling you when or how, but that story is going to come to a heartbreaking end… Then The Doctor will meet a new friend.”
Moffat added that he believes River Song (Alex Kingston) will make a return appearance, though it is unknown if the character will be involved in the couple’s exit storyline.
Matt Smith stated: “The show will miss the Ponds, brilliantly played by Karen and Arthur, but the great thing about Doctor Who is its ability to change. We had the most incredible journey. We took over the show and we’ve really had to hold hands and help each other through it. So it’s very disappointing, but one has to remember that this show is about change and regeneration, and that’s what galvanizes it and pushes it forwards.”
As yet no-one has been cast as the new companion.
