Sony Shutdown, Agromining & #MaketheBatfleckMovie

Nerds Amalgamated

Why does the Professor's sign off always cut out? Why does DJ always repeat himself? Why does Sony hate retro gamers? All these questions may never be answered. Sony plan to kill the digital storefront for older PlayStation consoles. Combined with C-Bomb, that means these consoles might become completely useless within six months. Gamers and Developers are very upset.

Sci-Fi often predicts future tech. This time Professor is sure he's heard this one a lot, but can't remember where. Researchers have discovered plants that create a high concentration of metals in their sap. Agromining might just be a way to mine in more ecologically friendly ways, but it isn't without downsides.

Now DC has given in to the hashtags, new hashtags have joined the battle. Now people want to #MaketheBatfleckMovie. Ben Affleck has been Batman for years now, but hasn't had his own solo movie. Meanwhile, the Star Wars character nobody wanted to see has had his own Solo movie ;). Now, how can we convince Warner Brothers to make a movie entirely based on popular hash tags?

This week DJ checked out the rebooted Children of the Atom and Professor dug into the criminal underbelly in the CyberNoir Anon.
