Coming Back for the Clash – Game of Thrones: Where We Are, And Where Season 2 May Take Us
King Robert Baratheon, ruler of the Seven Kingdoms and resident of the Iron Throne of Westeros, is dead.
His son – in name only – reigns as Boy-King, strings tugged by the villainous family he unknowingly owes the entirety of his incestuous bloodline to; Robert’s brothers lay dormant, yet assuredly plotting in city-states half a continent away; his old enemies conspire across a northern sea in a country forgotten by the current, imperiled kingdoms; a young man commands a kingdom at war in the north newly receded from the governance of the Iron Throne; and a new queen rises across a second sea in the east, mother to a rediscovered power that tore Westeros apart a century before.

THIS WEEK ON Justified: Measures
Shit is getting real. The pieces on the board are inching closer towards checkmate. Soon enough we’ll see who’s still standing … ok, to be fair we’ll see how Raylan and Boyd put everyone else down. So prop up your feet, sit back, and let’s have a look see at this past week’s Justified.
Monday Morning Commute: Teleport Rape Dream
For your sake, I hope you never have to live life as I do – in the mindset of a crotchety old man.
Sometimes, when I’m especially tired or caffeine-deprived, I can’t help but see change as anything but a pain in the ass. I mean, if you’ve been frequenting Omega-Level regularly, you’ll have noticed a number of recent additions. I should be excited. Really. Instead, I find myself grumbling under my breath, waxing nostalgic for the glory days of OL that never existed.
I mean, why shouldn’t I be excited about all the advertisements on the site? Not only do I get to share my thoughts with the world, but I get to help hawk products such as Norwich University, Dragons of Atlantis, and eFax!
Get `em while they’re hot, suckahs!
Moreover, this site is now rife with all sorts of strange characters! There’re sneaks amongst us, vaginas sliding into the fold, and probably a couple of freaks fiendin’ for another teleportation rape-dream! It’s a veritable gathering!
Okay – time to take an Alka Seltzer and plow through this post.
Thissere’s the MONDAY MORNING COMMUTE! You don’t even have to be a cantankerous bastard like me to know that the workweek sucks. As such, I’m going to show you some of the bits of entertainment I’ll be using to survive until the weekend. Your task is to hit up the comments and show off the various ways you’ll be ignoring the overwhelming responsibilities of real life.
Pull your damn pants up and let’s do this!
Game of Thrones Has a Classy HBO Promo “You Win or You Die”
It’s been an excruciatingly long wait, but Game of Thrones will be back in a week, on April 1. Over the last few months, HBO has been slowly rolling out the goods, with new pics, teasers, and full-fledged trailers–all done for the noble purpose of getting the fans more and more jazzed about the coming winter in Westeros. Now, as the show draws overwhelmingly close, the channel has one last promotional peak for us before our eyes are blinded by the brilliant fantasy panorama. Take a look after the jump.
Otters to Benedict Cumberbatch: Hop Off Our Swag
It’s a well-known fact in the animal kingdom that, when it comes to taking care of business, otters are swagtastic. They are masters at a myriad of awesome feats, like holding hands with attractive counterparts and cracking open clams on their bellies. You know, things that a person like me wishes he could do on a daily basis. And it turns out I am not the only one who is envious of otter supremacy. There is now proof that Sherlock‘s Benedict Cumberbatch has been stealing their swag for a while, and otters are calling him out for his thievery. Check it out after the jump.
21 NEW ‘GAME OF THRONES’ SEASON 2 Photos. So F**king Close.
Mow down on some delicious new photos from the second season of Game of Thrones.
Delicious.
THIS WEEK ON Justified: Guy walks into a Bar
This week we open up Justified with a few deputies trying to plant some drugs inside Shelby’s pick-up. This election business is turning nasty. When one of the deputies threatens to shoot down dear ol’ Shelby, he spins a tale about having liver cancer. I suppose I’d be less willing to draw down on a man with a close expiration date. Shelby sends them packing with a scolding and heads over to Boyd’s for advice and a drink. We’re in the home stretch of season three; let’s see how the final few innings play out.

Good news/bad news time. Good news: here’s a teaser trailer for the Battlestar Galactica prequel, and it looks awesome. Bad news: SyFy has announced they aren’t going to pursue a television series based on it at this point.

Jam Out to South Park’s Newest Song in “Cash For Gold”
Regardless of what one thinks about the quality of South Park these days (and I think it still has the capacity to do some good satire, like last week’s episode “Reverse Cowgirl”), Trey Parker and Matt Stone consistently reveal themselves to have an impressive ability to create some hilarious and catchy songs. (And if you haven’t listened to it yet, check out their Book of Mormon work. It’s really great.) And last night’s episode “Cash For Gold” once again showcased their musical ingenuity (and insanity) with a whimsical variation on the theme song from The Blob. Check it out after the jump.
‘MAD MEN’ Video Game Lets You Handle Don Draper’s Perpetual Crises.
Don Draper is constantly trying to turn that frown upside down these days. Shit has gotten real for the Totem of the American Dream on the show, and usually we just get to watch our heartthrob brood and make bad decisions. Our helplessness is about to be mitigated to an extent with this free video game, which allows us to help him get his shit together.
