THIS WEEK ON Walking Dead: Chupacabra
We start this week’s walking dead with more flashbacks. I don’t know if I’m softening or if its getting a little better, but I didn’t hate this flashback. Of course it could be because it involved one of my fantasies, firebombing Atlanta. So we’re treated with a little prequel about how our merry band started and then is off to the land of the dead. Oh, almost forgot to add the heavy handed reminder that Shane banged Lori and told her and Carl that Rick was dead. Can’t forget that, it might come up later.

Friday Brew Review: Double Mocha Porter
In my most cherished fantasies, I’m a member of Rogue Squadron. That’s right, if you see me crashing into the mailbox during a mid-drive daydream, I’m probably imagining myself nosediving into the Death Star’s exterior. As the suburban townsfolk yell and scream and cry in the hopes of getting my car off of their lawns, I can only hear Biggs and Wedge and Porkins egging me on. The cops throw down spike strips, and my tires blow out, and all I do is turn up the radio and mutter, “Stay on target.”
It’s this wonderful hallucination of being a bad-ass space-rebel that helps me cope with the fact that I’m nothing more than a sci-fi lovin’ scamp of a man.
Also helping me get through the ennui of my regularly-scheduled quarter-life crises is beer. Sweet, bitter, dark and fizzy beer. On Fridays I make a point to try a new beer, thereby expanding my palate and giving me a deeper basis-for-comparison well.
Tonight, I’m combining my yearning for intergalactic adventure and beer-lust by sipping on the Rogue Brewery’s Double Mocha Porter.
Sacha Baron Cohen In Talks To Join ‘Django Unchained’? Booyaka!
The cast for ‘Django Unchained’ keeps getting crazier and crazier. I mean that shit in a good way. Like, talk about a fucking ensemble. The latest to potentially join the fray? Ali G himself. Also, Rex Linn is onboard.
Press Start!: Liu Kang’s Nipples Are Weird.
“In a few weeks’ time, you’ll be gathered around the Thanksgiving table, breaking bread with your friends and family in honor of Pure Pilgrims’ triumph over the Scary Savages. Before you stab your kid brother in the neck with the salad fork, take a peek at all of the celebrants – each one of them is a goddamn gamer. Your meathead, pigskin-huckin’ cousin is a Call of Duty fiend. Your fat little sister gets down with DDR. Gramps delays death with WiiFit. Hell, even Auntie Craggy plays Farmville and Fat Uncle Drunkard has a Sudoku app for his mobile. This is the future. And we’re all gamers.”
This is Press Start.
It Takes 11 Artists To Finish ‘Hulk #2’. Dedication, or Sadness?
Oh, Marvel. The Jason Aaron/Marc Silvestri ultimate team-up to relaunch Hulk lasted all of…one issue. I know that Silvestri was hospitalized this week for an infection in his foot, but I would imagine the events that precipitated *11* artists contributing to Hulk #2 occurred long, long ago. 11 artists. Oh my.
The Southern Pinwheel Galaxy Is Cosmic Rotation Of Glory. I Just Ramble.

Miyamoto Interested In 3D Remakes of 2D Zelda Titles. C’mon Now Bro!
Miyamoto isn’t resigned to watching Nintendo’s shitty Nintendo 3D-3DSiL choke on its own 3d excessiveness. Nah! Naw son! He’s going to save it. By bringing to life 3D remakes. Of 2D Zelda games. Wut.
The Rock Handles ‘Modern Warfare 3’, and His Mrs. Solid Bro.
The Rock tweeted this out prior to MW3 dropping, and it amused me. But then I was like, is The Rock displaying courtesy to his Mrs, or by usage of his implication of “domination” being just another HGH-fueled douchebag? Or am I over-intellectualizing? Under-intellectualizing? Something-ulizing?
Trailer: ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ Is Twilight Inception Scored Nonsense.
Oh golly gee, ‘Snow White and the Huntsman’ has gotten itself a trailer. Take That Chick from Twilight, That Hot Dude from Thor and Charlize Naomi Watts or whatever and set the entire thing to the Walmart rip-off generic edition of the Inception score. What do you get?! This trailer!
Everyone seems to be talking about it, so I figured why not join the fray.
