Good morning and hello, its time once again to get the low down on all things nerdy and awesome - it’s your Daily Blast!

That said, today’s a very special day for me, and you’ll understand why with the video at the top of the post, which I explain under the cut.

At the top of the post: See that? That’s the first episode of the long awaited Super Art Fight web show, which is hosted/commentated by me, alongside Ross Nover. We’ve been working on this show most of the year, so to see it finally live on is REALLY goddamned cool, and I hope that if you’re a follower of this site - and not necessarily one of Super Art Fight - this is what makes you cross the line into awesomeness. Enjoy!
