HBO Renews ‘Game of Thrones’ For A Second Season. Huzzah!
I’m still jazzly jizzing over Sunday’s premiere episode of ‘Game of Thrones.’ Jazzly jizzing? It’s like, playing a trumpet and orgasming or something. So I’m totally jazzingly jizzing harder at the news that HBO has picked the show up for a second season! After one episode! Nice.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Marion Cotillard’s Roles In ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Announced!
Warner Bros. has gone up and announced the roles that JGL and Marion Cotillard will be playing in “The Dark Knight Rises.” Either all the rumors have been very, very wrong, or there will be some double identities afoot. Which would make sense, given, you know, the universe.
Hit the jump for the spoilers.
Best Buy Adding Sales Desks and Trained Employees to Gaming Section. God No.
Oh fucking great! Listen, one of the perks of going to Best Buy to snag a motherfucking video game is my ability to navigate the aisles, snag my shit, and get the fuck out. No douchebags trying to sell me warranties on the disc, no fuckheads asking me if I want to preorder anything. It’s everything a trip to Gamestop isn’t. It appears all of that is about to change.
Bryan Singer Cops To ‘Superman Returns’ Sucking. Sort Of.
I thought that ‘Superman Returns’ sucked. I thought it was bogged down with an insistence to paying homage instead of carving its own identity, typical existential ennui bullshit Singer loves, and the need to give (Jesus Christ,why?) Superman a kid.
All these years later, Bryan Singer sort of agrees.
Titan’s Orbit Proves It Has A Giant Ocean Underneath It’s Surface? Gnarly!
Scientific Astronomical Gurus have done some wizardy science crunching and come to a tenuous and probably incorrect but awesome conclusion: Saturn’s moon, Titan, has a giant ass ocean underneath its surface.
Sega Announces ‘Sonic Generations’. Money Says Letdown.
Sega’s announced their next Sonic game that will at first get you excited, and then ultimately let you down, ‘Sonic Generations.’ The pig is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Sonic, and it’s going to be a hybrid of old school gameplay and the more modern Sonic Adventure type bullshit.
Hit the jump for details, as well as the first gameplay video.
Winter Done Come: Game of Thrones Review
For those who are unfamiliar with George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Fire and Ice series, I can see how the first episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones could be disorientating. You’re being introduced to a lot of characters and hierarchy in just a short hour. But for fans of the series, I think the consensus is that they knocked it out of the park – even improving on some of Martin’s tedious exposition. I got into the series not too long ago and it’s one helluve ride. Thrones, the first book in the series, is essentially a sword and sandal soap opera that is more about political intrigue and power plays than clashing steel.
Images & Words – Butcher Baker and Casanova!
[images & words is the comic book pick-of-the-week at OL. equal parts review and diatribe, the post highlights the most memorable/infuriating/entertaining book released that wednesday]
It’s not usually a struggle for me to pick my favorite comic of the week. More often than not, a single funnybook will stand out, whether because of an incredible story, moving visuals, or some other quality. But on more fortuitous weeks, I’ll be presented the wonderful dilemma of having multiple candidates in my stack o’ panels. This is one such week.
And since both contestants are so damn appealing, I’m going to give both of them the grand prize! Open the vault, Seymour, these two are both going to spend a fabulous week at Images & Words! See, isn’t it great when one’s success isn’t defined by some other sap’s failure?! Ta-dah! Pop the champagne and slap a stripper’s ass! Huzzah!
Butcher Baker: The Righteous Maker #2 and Casanova: Gula IV are both phenomenal books and you should buy them. As soon as possible, dingbat! Don’t sit on your ass! Oh, what’s that, you want to know why they’re worth your hard(ly) earned cash?
Okay then, follow me into a diatribe that looks like that kooky cave on Dagobah….
Nic Cage Arrested For Domestic Abuse…? By Odin’s Beard!
Here at Omega Level, we’re pretty hard on the genius of Nic Cage. Everyone who frequents this Den of Horrors knows this. That’s why when news broke today that Nic Cage had been arrested for domestic abuse, more than three Omegalytes brought the news to my attention.
Shock and awe. And disappointment.
