Gym for Nerds Opens in Los Angeles
Are you ready to get “nerd strong?” A new gym open in LA is catering specifically to those of us in the geek communities.
It’s called Nerdstrong, and it thinks it’s time for you to stop being the scruffy-looking nerf herder.
Many of the workouts are built around fantasy, sci-fi, and superhero adventures as a way of making exercising more fun. You may be kicking down dungeon doors, raiding temples, joining the Avengers, fighting zombies, or even taking on Game of Thrones’ the Mountain in combat.
My favorite, though, is battling Coily alongside Q*bert. That is a fairly obscure idea for a workout routine. Although, I imagine all that jumping would be good exercise.

“Having the freedom to bring our vision to life is paramount to me and my team,” Dickinson said in a statement, “working with Nexon America provides us creative control as well as deep support from a partner who understands the online market better than anyone else.”

Breaking Down the Teams of Marvel’s Civil War
The recent reveal of promotional art from Captain America: Civil War -- thanks to Hawkeye actor Jeremy Renner, who tweeted the images out -- has given us a good idea of which characters will be siding with Cap and which will be siding with Iron Man when the Marvel heroes go to war in the film next year.
Some spoilers follow.
But those images have also raised lots of questions. Why would Black Widow side with Iron Man and not Captain America, despite her being the only original Avenger left on the team with Cap at the end of Age of Ultron? Where's Scarlet Witch, who we know is in the film but not in these shots? And what about Spidey?! He's in the movie too, but whose side will he take?
