The Gaming news for the week:

343 Industries has announced that their Halo 4 soundtrack will be released on October 22nd. The soundtrack is composed by Neil Davidge instead of Martin O’Donnell who did all of the other soundtracks in the Halo series. Hopefully he can do as well as Martin did.

The original soundtrack comes in to options, CD and Digital.

An interview with the Game Director of Assassin's Creed 3 gives us some more insight of the game:
Dean “Rocket” Hall, creator of DayZ, says that they are hoping to have something on the market this year that will be something. It could be a really cheap alpha, but it will be something. If that doesn't happen, something is seriously wrong.

I told you Sherlock was still alive!

2012-08-28T14:23:00.001-07:00

The Television news for this week:

After 9 season of being one of the most popular show on Television, The Office will be coming to an end. It is a sad thing to hear, but we all knew it was coming. After Steve Carell's exit from the show, we all saw the series start to go down hill. Don't worry about saying goodbye to one character, NBC is still moving forward on the Dwight Schrute spin-off series called The Farm.
Season 4 of Arrested Development is getting 3 more episodes. David Cross told Rolling Stone this, because some characters have two-part episodes. He says "Everybody sort of participates, sometimes in a bigger way and sometimes in a tiny little thread that goes through everybody else’s stories."
The stories from Series 3 of Sherlock (Season 3 in American Terms) have been announced.

Rat = The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire (or possibly Moffat intends to expand on the oft-referenced case of The Giant Rat Of Sumatra): A story for which the world is not yet prepared
Wedding = The Noble Bachelor: centered around the disappearance of a bride on her wedding night
Bow = His Last Bow: often considered as the final Sherlock Holmes story where the famed investigator retires once and for all.

Who is Bruce Banner?:
Extended Scene between Hawkeye and Loki:
A clip from the documentary, Building a Cinematic Universe, from The Avengers Blu-ray focusing on Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury:

Universal is looking to cast Jim Carrey as The Colonel in Kick-Ass 2. If you are not familiar with the comic book, he is the leader of the Heroes in the fight against evil. Donald Faison has already been cast as Doctor Gravity and John Leguizamo has been cast as Javier, Red Mist’s bodyguard. I can'y wait for this movie to be released!
Taken Nemo:
Ben Affleck is not directing the Justice League movie. I knew it was a rumor, I just thought it would be fun to see. Ben Affleck is working on Argo right now and that is defiantly one movie that I will see by him. He is a good director, just not for a Superhero Team-up movie.

The Gaming news for this week:

DayZ will be making its way to consoles and Mac if it does well as a standalone game. The only way it will sell as a standalone game it needs new features. New features like base-building, tidying and cleaning up animations and ragdoll physics. If this news excites you like it does me, then this is awesome. I have been wanting to play DayZ for a month or two, but I do not have a computer that can run it properly. I am hoping it does very well!
I think they should delay the development so that it can run on the Arma 3 engine.

PopCap Games has announced something I have been waiting for since 2009. Can you guess what it is? I'll give you a hint. It involves zombies, brains, and PLANTS! Thats right, PopCap Games has announced that they are in development of Plants vs. Zombies 2.

The Television news for this week:

Tony Shalhoub will be making his return to TV soon. He has signed on for a yet to be titled series from Rob Greenberg, the executive producer of How I Met Your Mother. He is set to play a man named Frank who is a self-proclaimed ladies man that has had four divorces. Tony Shalhoub is just one of those actors to me that I will always watch if the thing he is on is good.
BBC America is producing a Three Musketeers TV series. The series will be written by Adrian Hodges, who recently did My Week with Marilyn. The series will follow Athos, Porthos, and Aramis and will follow them as they are assigned to protect the King and their country. The series will be appropriately titled The Musketeers and will be a 10 episode series.
NBC picks up a new comedy series with Michael J. Fox. It is a yet to be titled series inspired by his real life. The series follows Fox as a husband and father of three living in New York City and dealing with his family, career, and challenges, that include having Parkinson’s disease. The show has a full series order of 22 episodes with director Will Gluck, Easy A, and Sam Laybourne, Arrested Development and Cougar Town, are on board as executive producers and co-creators.
Malcolm McDowell will be on Community next season as a History Professor. He will have a two episode arc on Community and will play Professor Cornwallis, a history teacher. I'm pretty sure Abed will be making reference to his appearance in A Clockwork Orange. Season 4 of Community premieres Friday, October 19th @8:30pm on NBC.

The Movie news for the week:

Nicolas Cage is attached to The Expendables 3. Harrison Ford and Clint Eastwood are in talks for the sequel to last weekends box office hit.
The History of LEGO:
Robert Downey Jr. gets hurt while filming Iron Man 3 in Wilmington, NC. He sustained a minor ankle injury while filming a stunt for the movie. The production has been halted while he recovers. I knew after I saw the one set photo of the wire stunt that they were doing that someone was going to get hurt while filming. I just hate that it was RDJ.
John Goodman is in talks to play the role as the villain to The Wolf pack in The Hangover: Part 3. If you havent been following the news coming from The Hangover: Part 3, you might have missed some good plot points. The Wolfpack might be heading to Tijuana and might be trying to break Alan, Zach Galifianakis's characeter, out of a mental institution. Heather Graham , Mike Tyson, and Ken Jeong are all set to return for the film.
James Gunn is in talks with Marvel Studios to direct Guardians of the Galaxy. I say, why not. He is an amazing director with some notable movies under his belt. He has done both Scooby Doo movies, Super, the remake of Dawn of the Dead, and also did a cult hit video game, Lollypop Chainsaw. I hope this happens so I can throw my money at it!

No ideas huh, well then I think I will change Fridays to the early start of my weekend. I would continue with the iTunes music post, but it doesn't seem to be popular. I would have chosen one of the reader suggestions, but NO ONE POSTED A COMMENT! So, until someone posts an idea in the comments Fridays will not exist on this blog.

The Gaming stuff for today:

The reason I said stuff instead of news is because there is next to nothing on the news front. I have found that Microsoft has confirmed again that they will be releasing the Xbox 720 in 2013. Also I have read that Half-Life 3 is listed to be revealed at Gamescon, which is highly unlikely. Though it would be nice if they announced it on my birthday.

The Movie news for this week:

Here is the first Official picture of Daniel Day-Lewis as Abraham Lincoln:

If you have not heard Steven Spielberg is making a Abraham Lincoln Biopic called Lincoln. The movie is based on Doris Kearns Goodwin’s best-seller “Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln". The movie starts around the time where Lincoln realizes that the Emancipation Proclamation was simply a war powers act and will be struck down by lawyers after the Civil War. He then realizes that he needs to abolish slavery by constitutional measure.
The Avengers News:

Jeremy Renner didn't play the Hawkeye he signed on for. He was hoping to play the Hawkeye from the comic books. You know, the cocky, hot headed loud mouth with nothing to lose. I totally agree with him. That was the only thing that I did not like about The Avengers. Hopefully this will change in The Avengers 2.
Joss Whedon has signed on to write and direct The Avengers 2. He has signed a 3 year deal with Marvel and has confirmed the release of The Avengers 2 to be in the Summer of 2015.

Ben Affleck is talks to direct the Justice League movie. If this is true it could mean something good/bad for DC. He is a good director, but I am a little worried on how he will take the story. If you find the right script, stick to the source material, and find the right set of Actors/Actresses to play the roles of the Superheros then this could be a good movie.
Donald Faison has signed on for Kick-Ass 2. He is set to play Doctor Gravity, a Physics Professor by day and a gravity pole wielding crime fighter by night. This is a good move for the movie since Donald Faison already has a cult following since he was on Scrubs. Hopefully there will be some "Guy Love" between him an Kick-Ass.
Heather Graham is back in The Hangover 3 to reprise her role as the stripper Jade. The Hangover: Part 3 is set to release on May 24, 2013.

Friday's are now yours!

2012-08-10T11:57:00.000-07:00

Hi, this isn't a normal blog for a Friday. Normally I go through my iTunes library at random and pick an artist to write about. I thought that was kind of getting old and I was thinking of what to do. I couldn't come up with anything, but I did have an Idea. What if i left this decision up to you, the readers.

From now until next Friday morning you can post an idea for the topic of the Friday blog post in the comments section of any blog. If I happen to get more then one idea, I will rotate them out every week or let you vote on your favorite one. If I happen not to get any ideas, then I will just continue on with the music blog.

So, let your creative juices flow!

The Gaming news for the week:

Rocksteady has announced that their Batman game will not be a sequel. They have announced that the game will be a prequel to Arkham Asylum and will feature the Justice League. This could introduce spin off games! Man, am I hoping for a good Superman Game. The sad news is that Paul Dini will not be writting the story for the game. He did such an amazing job on the first 2, I would love to see how he would have added the Justice league to the story.
Ubisoft has announced that Assassins Creed 3 will have Season Pass DLC on Xbox 360. I dont know if you have preordered it already, but I did. What ever DLC that does not come with my preorder I will be buying. The game is not complete until you play ever portion of it.
Conan O'Brien's reviews Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition:

Valve's Gabe Newell calls Windows 8 a Catastrophe. Blizzard even agrees with him. Didn't I say before that Windows 8 was going to be bad and be another Vista? I believe I did.

The television news for the week:

The CW is in talks to create a Battle Royal TV series. Battle Royal is what I like to call the Japanese version of The Hunger Games. This news is dropping from the LA Times and they say that the CW is talking with Hollywood reps behind closed doors about launching the English language version properly. Could the series get the green light and Koushun Takami's approval?
Just image this being on TV:
It looks like Anger Management is getting picked up for 90 more episodes. FX president John Landgraf has been hinting this after the success of the first season's ratings. Also Papa Sheen, Martin Sheen, will have a reoccurring role on the show as Charlie Sheen's character's father. I have not seen the show yet, but I hear good things.
Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog is set to premier on the CW this October. If you havent heard of it, it is the brainchild of Joss Whedon and was created due to the 2007-2008 writers strike. It tells the story of an aspiring supervillain named Dr. Horrible, played by Neil Patrick Harris and his heroic yet cocky nemesis, Captain Hammer, played by Nathan Fillion. Its a battle for the heart of the woman they both love, Penny, played by Felicia Day. Keep an eye out for it on Tuesday, October 9 at 9 p.m.
Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles have signed on to continue their roles as Sam and Dean for 2 more seasons. The hopes are high for the show now that Jeremy Carver is the show runner. But with the show now going into production of 2 more seasons, will the 10th season be the end of the series?
The Incredible Hulk TV show ready to start production, but still needs a writter. The series will be done by Guillermo del Toro and will be for ABC.

I've got some bad news. The blog will be down for the next 2 weeks while I work out some work related stuff. I'm sorry if this saddens you, but to keep up with my daily schedule (I am sorry I havent been following lately) I have to do this every once and a while. I will start posting blogs again on August 6th. The blog for that day will be up before 3 PM and I will hold myself to that. I hope that you return after this short break as there will be more contests and better content coming your way.

Questions like:
-Who will Michael Fassbender play?
-Which Assassin will be in it?
-Will it be a new Assassin?
-What time period will the main amount of the story take place?
The list goes on and on.
The villain for Star Trek 2 has been announced. Karl Urban has leaked that Benedict Cumberbatch will be playing Gary Mitchell, NOT Khan. If you didn't watch the original Star Trek TV series you would not know who he is. He was in the third episode of the series title Where No Man Has Gone Before. That episode was about the Enterprise crew discovering the log of a long-lost ship. Two crew members transform into beings of immense psychic ability. One of which is Kirk’s longtime friend Gary Mitchell. These new powers corrupt Mitchell, and force Kirk and Spock to strand him on a remote planet. Mitchell causes problem and forces Kirk to kill him to save the universe.

The Television news for the week:

There is only one piece of news today and I wouldn't consider it news. HBO has released the first episode of their series called The Newsroom onto YouTube. They are actually smart for doing this since most of the worlds population lives on YouTube. I would Embed the episode into this post, but HBO has disabled the option to Embed. Here is the link to the episode on YouTube: The Newsroom
I watched the whole episode yesterday (that was why the blog was up late) and I absolutely loved it. I hope you people love it too.

The Newsroom airs on HBO at 10 PM on Sundays.
