The Cultured Nerd is the spinoff Waking Ideas blog you've been waiting for. Or you've been waiting for it to spin off of the main Waking Ideas feed so you don't have to read all the latest about comic books and video games. I'm not exactly sure which is better for you, but take your pick.
Taylor Landine and Neil Fastabend are spearheading the site editorial process, I'll be writing and providing the usual behind the scenes web administration. The site is still a little bit rough, but we're making progress little by little. So stick around and stay for the fireworks.
Taylor writes about a new TCN feature called The Second Opinion:
Instead of running into the chaos with every other website and media outlet, we are going to let them do there thing. Then we are going to comment after the fact with The Second Opinion, giving our readers a more in-depth look at our findings, opinions, and also taking into account the hype, reviews, and opinions of others that helped mold the preconceived view we had going into something, and what we felt after we spent enough time to properly formulate our own opinion.
Now that doesn’t mean we aren’t going to do reviews of current and soon to be releasing movies and games, it means we are simply going to do it in two distinctly different ways.
Stay tuned for The Second Opinion, and let us know what you think.
The first of the series is an article by Tom Mullen covering StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm.
