61 Frames Per Second by John Constantine Today in Nerve's videogame blog: Friedrich Nietzsche, River City Ransom, angry nerds, and the horrors of time. So, you know, business as usual.
The Remote Island by Bryan Christian Veronica Mars returns (maybe), RuPaul is haunting us (definitely), and the Dexter "Pscyho Therapy" quiz (creepy.)
Naked icons, warped classics, overlooked geniuses, the year ahead, the year behind, and, yes, Brokeback Mountain: it's all in this year 's film issue. Enjoy it, and stay tuned to Nerve's film coverage over the following months, as we continue to build the premier destination for smart film fans and unveil one hell of a coming attraction. — Michael Martin
