Episode 12: Scepter of the Ancients – Skulduggery Pleasant is Cooler than Nicholas Cage.

In this week’s episode, Mike and Drew discover the secret world of sorcery and stolen skulls in Scepter of the Ancients. Talk Nerdy to Me: Mike makes a mess with Fruit Ninja Kinect, wraps up Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet, and straps on his bowling shoes. Drew dishes out some info on Dragon*Con Photo Hunt 2011 Contest sponsored by ThinkGeek. And relives the glory that is Arrested Development. This week’s challenge: (courtesy of Rachel K.) Drew and Mike read Scepter of the Ancients! The first in the Skulduggery Pleasant series. It’s about an Irish lass named Stephanie who inherits a mansion from her late uncle. Then crazy stuff starts happening. Like “skeletal detective that shoots magic fireballs from his hands” crazy. Next week’s challenge: (courtesy of Jacob) Read Batman: The Long Halloween, a 13 part series that ran from 1996 – 1997 that involves Batman in his early crime fighting days and a mysterious killer known as “Holiday.” ZOINKS!
