Found this teaser trailer of the upcoming Avengers film, which is of course a reboot of the British TV series… wait, what?  It’s about comic books?  Interesting.  Oh, well here’s a really pointless video of Samuel L. Jackson talking while an “A” spins in the dark.  Enjoy.

Cast of the Avengers Movie Feels Like It’s Missing Something

When I saw the confirmed list of actors and the characters they will be portraying in the upcoming Avengers film I couldn’t help but feel that the team seems rather strange to me.  Of course there is the obvious fact that Nick Fury and the Black Widow aren’t members of the Avengers, which is explained in the movies as the Avengers being a SHIELD project, but I don’t think that’s it.  It could also be the absence of Ant-Man and Wasp, but I don’t think it’s that either.  I think what bugs me about the ensemble is the lack of female characters in the group.

Over at BloodyDisgusting.com they have a few pictures they took of AMC’s booth for the upcoming TV series Walking Dead, based on the zombie comic by Robert Kirkman.  The booth seems to be a recreation of some sort of violent zombie apocalypse scenario.  What I want to know is if this is representative of the level of violence the show is going to exhibit.  Hop on over to check them out for yourself.

In an article oddly timestamped April 30, 2009 as of my writing this, Yahoo! has revealed what it claims to be an exclusive look at some new posters for the upcoming Captain America and Thor films.  The new posters are going to be distributed at Comic-Con this weekend, and attendees will have the chance for the actors to sign them.  As of now not much has been seen of what Captain America is going to look like in his upcoming film.  I recommend checking out their website for a look at both posters and clicking past the break where I scrimshawed some words of my own about the posters.

Singularity is a first-person shooter developed by Raven Software and published by Activision that was released recently for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC.  It combines elements of other established games and adds a few interesting devices of its own to make a fresh, enjoyable gaming experience that is well worth your time.  You could stop reading right now since you already know I approve of it, or you could continue on past the break to find out why exactly this game is good (and for my award winning humor as well).

Turns Out Batman Was Spider-Man This Whole Time

Found this on Geekologie.com earlier and felt it was worth sharing.  Seems that Batman’s origin isn’t as simple as once thought based on the back of this foreign toy.  Try not to be eating or drinking something while reading this or you may choke while laughing out loud.  But seriously, I really wish “Doctor Jackstraw, The Abnormal Drug Trafficker” was an actual Batman villain.

Saw 3D The Traps Come Alive… and Franchise Looses Integrity

I like the Saw franchise.  There, I said it.  The series has managed to hold onto a gritty blend of police investigation and violent traps that although outlandish, remain plausible.  The series has never delved into the supernatural or impossible, and has therefore created an air of seriousness about it.  That’s why when I heard that Shock Till You Drop found out the next installment of the franchise will not be called Saw VII but Saw 3D The Traps Come Alive I died a little inside.

Unboxing videos seem to be very popular nowadays so I figured, “Hell, I’ll make one.”  So I did.  Expect more in the future.

A little less that four years after the original Doom was released, the sequel, Doom II, was recently released on XBLA.  For $10 (or 800 msp) not only do you get all the classic Doom II maps, but also nine new ones made by developer Nerve.  And don’t worry, the double barreled shotgun is back as well.
