Bunch of Nerds now has a family! Well, we always have had family, but, now our blog officially does. Playthrough.net used to be one of the crucial community sites for those involved in the games industry quality assurance field before a tragic, tragic database crash mid-Summer 2006. Shortly after Bunch of Nerds’ quite successful launch (less than 3 months ago WOO!), the decision was made to break off our nerdy posting about the games industry gossip that rolled across our tables daily and turn Playthrough into our outlet for all things gamey. So it’s here, kind of. We are still cleaning up some small bugs here and there, but, you get the gist. So all those interested in lots of gamer-centric jibba jabba from a couple of nerds, feel free to give a visit to Playthrough and give them a virtual wedgie for us.

Hi all, many apologies for the lack of posts yesterday (Wed) and today (Thur). We are currently making some layout changes and updating some blog system files, which of course always ends up being more work than initially expected. We’ll be back later tonight or tomorrow with your regular fix for all things nerd. Thanks for your patience. (Note to self, never read a calender before having your morning coffee).

Update 2: Internet Explorer sucks.

Update 1: Sorry for the weirdness folks, things went sour (again) so we’re firefighting some bugs that have popped up.

Whoa where did the time go?! It’s almost Fall premieres season for US television shows, which catches us pretty off-guard to say the least! Thanks to television mega-blog TV Squad, we have a pretty thorough schedule of the upcoming Fall season premieres, starting August 21st with Prison Break on Fox. Fox is starting a touch earlier so they can juggle in their baseball and football commitments during the season, which unfortunately means another large gap in-between episodes of Prison Break (booooo!).

Some choice selections from this Fall season’s upcoming premieres.

• Monday, Aug. 21
  8:00pm – Prison Break (Fox)
• Sunday, Sept. 10
  8:00pm – The Simpsons (Fox)
• Thursday, Sept. 21
  8:00pm – My Name is Earl (NBC)
• Monday, Sept. 25
  9:00pm – Heroes (NBC)
• Tuesday, Sept. 26
  8:00pm – Gilmore Girls (CW)
• Wednesday, Oct. 4
  9:00pm – Lost (ABC)
• Friday, Oct. 6
  9:00pm – Battlestar Galactica (SciFi)

Hi all you wacky newsfeed subscribers! I just wanted to announce that as of today, our newsfeed will now feature full-text posts, rather than summaries, which we were feeding earlier. The reason for this is that we’ve switched teams (har har spot the Seinfeld reference) and are fully behind giving our newsfeed subscribers our all, especially considering that we’ve switched to an ad-supported newsfeed thanks to our friends over at FeedBurner. So, we hope you enjoy and let your friends know that they’re missing out if they aren’t subscribed. Missing out on what you may ask? Good question.
