See Something Cool: Blackmeal – Marvel
Blackmeal describes itself as a “creative production company developing and producing projects… from television and cinema to web and multiplatform…” I love Marvel Studios tag, but if they expand the Marvel Cinematic Universe into animated features, then maybe this would be more appropriate?
Breaking Bad Season 5 Episode 10 Recap: Buried
Oh my Heisenberg! This episode was kind of a filler, but is definitely digging up some interesting questions for the rest of the season. We find out what happens after the big confrontation between Walt and Hank which explores the effect that this secret has on their family. Also, you get to see what Lydia resorts to in order to correct the lazy production numbers. Oh and what about the world’s most miserable millionaire, Jesse?

Grand Theft Auto Online Reveals a Trailer
One of the last great games for this current console generation released their multiplayer trailer. No, I’m not talking about Call of Duty: Ghosts, although they did have a nice reveal yesterday. I’m talking about the online component for Grand Theft Auto V. GTA multiplayer is an interesting grab bag of games and ideas and it will continue in the next iteration but on a grander scale. The trailer throws a lot of information at you; but ultimately all you have to think about is all the on-the-fly shenanigans the game will allow you to have.
I am curious how persistent the world is.

Mob City Teases December Premiere
Frank Darabont is a name that I identify with quality. I love The Shawshank Redemption and The Majestic. More recently he helped get The Walking Dead adapted into the hit AMC series. Unfortunately, he was fired during the show’s second season. But soon after, there was rumblings in the rumor-verse that he was working on a new TV show. This show would be a crime noir show set in Los Angeles. Unrest with some of the actors on The Walking Dead set hinted toward certain actors jumping ship. Jeffrey DeMunn, a Darabont mainstay, was one of the first to be killed off. Jon Bernthal was not far behind. The then-titled “Lost Angels” was beginning to take shape. I hadn’t been following much since then, but now I was blown away by the first trailer for the series, now called Mob City. Check it out below.
The cast looks amazing. Not only does it include the aforementioned Jon Bernthal, but it will also include the talented Milo Ventimiglia. Simon Pegg will also apparently have a part in the pilot. I’m definitely looking forward to the show’s December premiere.

Wolf Among Us Trailer Bites Down
While everyone anticipates the continued story of Clementine in season two of Telltale Game’s The Walking Dead, they were busy working on another game to fill the void. Based on the Vertigo Comics series, Fables, Telltale plans to release Wolf Among Us soon.
The game will feature Bigby Wolf as the main character in a pre-Fables setting that will allow us to see some of favorite characters that are not around anymore. Bigby plays the noir detective archetype as the sheriff of Fabletown. The game looks to feature a lot of story, murder, and suspense.
Huff and puff your way past the jump to watch the first trailer.
Rocket Raccoon Ninja’d
Without much surprise, a few seconds of the Guardians of the Galaxy video shown at San Diego Comic Con has appeared on the internet. While the video is continually taken down; it is not that difficult to track it down (so I’ll leave that up to you).
But what I do have is a GIF that will keep me excited for the next year until the movie comes out.

Snack Shack featuring Mega Stuf Oreo
A while ago, Ricky and I did the Mexican Coke Challenge; comparing the highly popular Mexican Coke and our standard American Coke. I’ve always wanted to follow it up with some more snack videos, especially since we both have a sweet tooth. Oreo recently released a “limited edition” Mega Stuf version of their cookie, so we tried some of the cookies.
