As you know, E3 happened. And it rocked! I was there for a bit, saw some Nintendo goodness. Then I rapped about it. Also at E3 was Clicker.com. They’re this cool website that collects all of the movies, TV shows and original web series available online and becomes the central hub for all things online entertainment.
We ran into them (and by we, I mean myself, Beau Ryan of RadNerd.com and Robert Welkner of Coin-Op TV) and did some impromptu interviews about E3 and our upcoming projects. Rob discusses his E3 interviews. Beau talks about his upcoming horror series 8.13and what’s in store for RadNerd 2.0 (of which I may have a little involvement).
And I blab about myself a few times in the video and promise to strip if necessary. That’s how I roll. You can also see this video, plus more info, on the Clicker Blog.
Nintendo totally rocked their E3 2010 press conference. So rather than going in full review detail about it like everyone else has, I decided to perform a Black Nerd rap song about Nintendo’s upcoming games presented at the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
So there I was, picking up groceries at Ralph’s when Rob Welkner (@pennyman) of Coin-Op TV invited me to see part of Activision’s big concert for E3 Expo. Hmm, buy groceries or see Eminem live on stage. I think you know my decision.
In the one of the most not-secret news ever, Eminem was the headliner of the “Activision Summer Concert Series.” And I must say… he’s looking good (no homo). He’s seems healthier and harder than before and was really on top of his game with the performance. He thanked the Eminem fans out there (Eminemiacs?) for standing by him good times and bad.
And speaking of which… Rihannatook the stage to do the song they collaborated on for his upcoming album, Recovery (if the tracks performed tonight are any indication of the album as a whole, I just might have to “cop that CD” as I hear we black people say). Oh, and did I fail to mention Eminem brought a church choir out on stage during one of his songs. That’s right. Eminem. And a choir. Chuuuuch!
It officially went over 100,000 views this past Saturday night, April 10, 2010. I was going to see Upright Citizens Arcade starring “Keith Apicary” at the UCB Theatre in Los Angeles when I checked my cell phone and saw the news on the views. And how’s this for awesome? When finding out about the honor, I was actually with Rob Welkner of Coin-Op TVwho makes a cameo appearance in the video, and Roger Barr, creator and star of Doc Mock’s Movie Mausoleumwhere I performed the song live. What a celebration!
This morning, the Streamy Award nominations were announced. The Streamys are awards given to the best in web television programming. And two of my favorite live shows, Coin-Op TV Live and The RadNerd Show have been nominated for Best Live Production in a Web Series. Congratulations to both shows! That’s amazing!
One might ask why did these two awesome shows get nominated. Is it because they have great and engaging topics and guests? Is it because of the wonderful hosts like Rob Welkner, Hailey Bright, Beau Ryan or Leo Comacho? Nope. I know the true reason why they got nominated.
I review Nintendo Wii video games for Coin-Op TV. Spyborgs (Capcom), Deca Sports 2 (Hudson Soft) and Dragonball: Revenge of King Piccolo (Namco Bandai). Plus cool video game schwag and fingerless gloves.
