Nerd Rage Update
The Subtleties of Product Placement

Friday
January 13th, 2012

This week's Nerd Rage brought to you by PubNub. You couldn't tell, because the product placement was so well matched to the target demographic and worked deeply into the fabric of the story.

Do you have a 3DS? Do you like free demos? The Resident Evil: Revelations demo is out now. It's free and it's Resident Evil, so not much to complain about t here. Maybe this is a sign of things to come for the 3DS; a world where all major releases see demo releases...or maybe the publisher is worried about sales due to thumbsticks and price hikes. The full game is out February 7th.

Do you like Half Life 2: Episode 3 conspiracy theories? Then you'll be interested in these images found in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

George Lucas has promised to never make another Star Wars movie:

"Why would I make any more," Lucas says, "when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?"

Fans are either rejoicing at the news, or devastated the brand won't live on. But hasn't Lucas gone on record saying the saga is complete and that there are only six movies, as opposed to the originally discussed nine?
