The gaming news for the week:

• Diablo 3 is the fastest selling PC game in the history of the world. That is kind of a given since gamers have been waiting for it for over 10 years. I am not a fan and I don't think I will ever play it. Sorry, its not my type of game.
• Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition will be getting an update soon. In the upcoming 1.7.3 update the main thing that the game will be getting is pistons. 4J Studios is working on it now and they are also working on the 1.8 update or what what people are calling it, Adventure update. They also said that they will try and add as many things from the PC version as possible, but it will not be a direct port of the PC version. Which means that the PC version and the Xbox 360 edition will not end up to be the same game.
• There is a sale on tons of games that is lasting until June 1st. Because We May is in support of independent game developers. They have a sale on a lot of games on different platforms like iOS, Steam, and Android. Here is a video that helps explain a little bit of it:
  
  If you are interested, head to there website:  Because We May
• Minecraft has sold over 9.2 Million combined units on PC, Xbox 360, iOS, and Android devices. Though 6 Million of it came from the PC version.
• There will be a new Star wars game that will be showcased at E3. There is very little word out about it, so I will keep you updated as the story develops.
• If you happen to want to preorder Halo 4, here are some of the bonuses you can get:
  
  
  
   
•  The Xbox 720 is set to have in-game Skype powered video chat. This sounds cool, especially when you are playing in a massive party. MMO's will be played with a little bit more face time. You can see you friends reaction after you knife him in Halo.
• There have been a ton of leaked screenshots form Halo, including: Load outs, new weapons, and multiplayer maps. Head to this website and check them out: Leaked Halo 4 Screenshots
• BBC mistakes the USNC logo from Halo for the logo for the United Nations. Don't believe me? Check out the video below:
  
• John Beiswenger, the author that was suing Ubisoft for similarities between his book Link and the Assassin’s Creed franchise, has decided to drop the Lawsuit. This happened after the back lash from the fans of the Assassin’s Creed franchise tormented him to no end. The game is still on its way to an October release and Ubisoft and to pay nothing.

"I have a blog?!"

The Television news for the week:

• Here is the poster for Aaron Sorkin’s new drama for HBO called The Newsroom:
  
  If you remember seeing the first trailer before where Jeff Daniel's character goes on a rant during an interview, HBO has released the second trailer. I'll post it in the trailer section of this post.
• For the fans of The Walking Dead, here is some behind the scenes footage of Season 3:
  
  
  A released picture of Michonne:
  
• Lifetime is in talks to develop a TV seires based off  Clarice Starling from the Hannibal movie franchise. The series will be about what happens after Clarice's first experience with Hannibal Lecter and when she graduates FBI academy. The series will bridge the gap between The Silence of the Lambs movie and the Hannibal movie. The series will be about how she handles everyday life as a federal officer and her butting head with  Department of Justice official Paul Krendler. Lifetime happened to get a hold of this series because it happens to have a strong female lead in it.

Take a break MGM!

The Weekend Box Office results:

1. MIB 3
2. Marvel's The Avengers
3. Battleship
4. The Dictator
5. Chernobyl Diaries

Now to the movie news for this week:

• Tom Cruise climbs aboard the remake of The Magnificent Seven. To me this isn't a shock that MGM wants to remake some of their classics. I am kind of mad that they are working on the remakes for  RoboCop, WarGames, Death Wish, Carrie and Poltergeist. But why would put Tom Cruise in a Western and make a western in a time where westerns are not popular? They just need to stop making movies until they come up with an original idea.
• Some recent news has rumored Christopher Nolan to be the writer of the Batman reboot after The Dark Knight Rises. Yes, you read that right. DC wants to reboot the Batman Series after The Dark Knight Rises so that they can have the Batman they want for the Justice League story. But Why?
  This has to be one of my favorite set photos from the film:
  
• Iron Man 3 has just started production and already has good news. The film has an increased budget, it went from $140 Million to $200 Million. Also Jon Favreau will be returning as Happy Hogan, Tony Stark's bodyguard.
• G.I. Joe: Retaliation has been pushed to a March 2013 release date so that it can be converted into 3D. Its not like I was going to see the movie anyways. This just gives me more of a reason not to go and see it.
• 
  

This weeks trailer releases:

• Teaser for The Watch:
  
• Trailer for The Great Gatsby remake:
  
  I don't like this at all! Its like the version with Paul Rudd needed to be remade. The bad thing is it will be in 3D! Another reason for me to hate 3D!
• The Red Band trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter:
  
  
• Trailer #3 for  Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter:
  
  
• The Trailer for On The Road:

Saturday Post? Say What!

I deeply want to apologize for not posting anything for Fridays blog and for not including a YouTube Channel of the Week in Thursday's blog post. With me working a 3rd shift job, it is hard to get things done when you are tired and need sleep to work that night. So to make it up to you I am posting a blog on a Saturday! With the apology over with lets get to the reason why you read these blogs!

The Youtube Channel of the Week, which is: SHAYTARDS
If you do not know who Shay Carl is, you have not been on the internet in the past three years! He and his family have found the way into my life just by a random happening. Back in December of 2009 I was up at 2 am on Youtube looking for something to watch. One of the Shaytards videos happened to featured on YouTube then I decided to watch it. After watching close to 20 of their videos nonstop, I realized I was hooked. I subscribed and have been a daily viewer since then. Shay Carl has lost a lost of weight since I first started watching and he has actually motivated me to get back in shape and live a healthier life.

Here is their most recent video:


On Fridays Saturday I will be going to my iTunes and turning on shuffle and who ever is the artist of the song that plays will be the focus for this blog.


This weeks post is going to be about: The Beatles

I was waiting for them to come up on shuffle one day! I'm so glad that day was today. I have been a huge fan of The Beatles for a very long time. They are the reason why music is still a growing business. Thanks to iTunes actually having The Beatles Anthology on iTunes now, I now have them on iTunes in digital format. I own every CD by them (That took some time to accomplish). I also own some Vinyls and 8-track tapes of their albums. I am still trying to get the old family record player working again.

I also have seen the musical movie that is based off their songs called Across the Universe. The Across the Universe cast includes Evan Rachel Wood, Jim Sturgess, and Joe Anderson. The movie also increased my addiction to Joe Anderson movies. I also own the Deluxe Edition of the movies soundtrack and the Blu-ray edition of the movie (even though I do not own an HDTV or Blu-ray player.) So you probably can guess I am a huge Beatles fan.

My Favorite song by The Beatles:

You may call me weird for liking this song, but it was the song iTunes said I played the most!

And that is how my iTunes found them while it was on Shuffle!

Community will never be the same!

The Television news for the week:

• ABC is still planning on doing a Hulk TV series. The series would be coming from the amazing writer, director, producer Guillermo del Toro. To continue the story that The Avengers movie started, they would need to bring on Mark Ruffalo as the show runner. The special effects would have to be great and  be done under a budget. And lastly it would need a large viewership to keep it running. I don't see the show happening, but it would be really nice to see it happen.
• CBS has released sneak peeks for Elementary and Vegas. If you remember me talking about Elementary being a modern Sherlock Holmes in America with Lucy Liu playing Watson.
• Sneak Peek for Elementary:
  
  I still think Sherlock from BBC is better.
• Sneak Peek for Vegas:
  
• Here is the first footage from CW's new series Arrow:
  
• Here is the trailer for the series:
  
  
• Dan Harmon has been fired as Community Show runner. He went to his Tumblr account to issue a statement. This really shocked me after Season 3 finale just aired last Thursday. The show will still have a 4th season, but without Dan Harmon. Since he is out, do you think that David Guarascio and Moses Port can continue the show? If so, can it be done so that the fans will continue to love it. Could they bring up the ratings so that the show will do better then ever? I hope so!

Lose the beard Ashton!

The Technology news for the week:

• Here is Ashton Kutcher dressed up like Steve Jobs for the upcoming Biopic: 
  I think he really needs to lose the beard or get a hair cut. That doesn't look like Steve Jobs at any age.
• A group of people created concept images based on all of the iPhone 5 reports and rumors. These are by far the coolest concept images I have seen so far. Check them out below:
  
  
  
• Google Chrome is reportedly coming out for iOS with in the next few weeks. Since Firefox is starting to take a nose dive and Google Chrome is now the Top browser. I'm happy it making it way to iOS. I liked Safari until Dolphin came along and now it would be nice to have my Google Chrome bookmarks available on a mobile device. If it passes Apple's inspection, which it should, it should be here soon. I will keep you updated on this story when new information is available.

And now for the Youtube Channel of the Week, which is: Rooster Teeth

Rooster Teeth are pretty famous content creators of the Halo world. They created the online show called Red vs. Blue.

  Looks like they will be going outside of the Angry Bird Franchise for their next game.
• Here is the Assassin's Creed III World Premier Gameplay trailer that was unlocked last week:
  
  
• Minecraft: Xbox 360 Edition is a huge success! It is so much fun to play on the big screen. It has 4 player Co-op on one system. You can also play with up to 8 players on Xbox Live. It has also passed 1 Million downloads and is still going. All that I wish you could do is port your maps from Minecraft for PC and iOS/Android to the Xbox 360 version so that you can play your worlds anywhere. Below is the launch trailer for the game:
  
• Continuation of the first story in this blog about Rovio. They teased a game at the end of their Thank You video.

NBC gets Channel of the Year Award!

The television news for the week:

• NBC has renewed 30 Rock, Community, and Parks and Recreation for another season, but with a catch. They will all have shortened seasons. Each show will average about 13 to 14 shows this season. 30 Rock is coming back for its seventh and mostly likely final season. After the long mid season hiatus for Community, people weren't sure if it there would be a season four. Parks and Recreation will be back for its fifth season. NBC also decided to cancel Awake after a first season full of mixed reviews.
• Fox decides to pick up the show Touch for another season and decides to cancel Alcatraz, The Finder, Breaking In, and I Hate My Teenage Daughter. This is sad, I kind of liked The Finder and Breaking In, even though I have only seen one episode of each show. The renewal of Touch doesn't come as a surprise since it was such a smash hit with audiences.
• The cast of Grey’s Anatomy has signed contracts for seasons 9 and 10. This is sad since I think the show is a ripoff of Scrubs and is really bad Television. I cant believe a show like this has lasted this long.
• AMC renews Comic Book Men and The Talking Dead for another season each. I was surprised that Comic Book Men could get another season sin it was really hard for me to watch it. It was boring, lame, and couldn't keep my attention. The Talking Dead on the other hand was pretty cool. Chris Hardwick made the after show for The Walking Dead fun and Entertaining. I am now a big fan of The Nerdist Podcast that is hosted by Chris Hardwick and I can't wait for season 3 of The Walking Dead to return so that he can talk about the show with some more special guests.
• The CW orders many shows, but me being a guy and a comic book nerd only one is worth watching for me. Arrow, the TV show adaption of the Green Arrow Comic Books seems to be working out as a good show. The CW also adds The Carrie Diaries, Beauty and the Beast, First Cut, and Cult to the line up this fall.  The Carrie Diaries will serve as a Sex and the City Prequel. Beauty and the Beast will be the modern version of the TV show back in the 80's. First Cut will be like an ER equivalent of the movie Mean Girls. The TV show Cult will be about an Investigative journalist who investigates the growing number of suspicious macabre happenings surrounding a show called Cult (isn't that already the name of this show?) and the weird happenings of super fans taking their devotion to the show to weird and scary places in the weird world. Its seems to be kind of like Supernatural to me.
• Jon Favreau and J.J. Abrams have a new show coming out this Fall. It is a Sci-Fi Show coming to NBC and is called Revolution.
  Here is the trailer for the show:
  
  As long as my work schedule isn't so heavy on the Monday's I will be watching this show!
• Yet another show that could be good is coming to NBC. The show is called Chicago Fire and features Jesse Spencer from House, Check out the trailer below:

Joss Whedon is the Man!

As always, the Weekend Box Office results from lat weekend:

1. Marvel's The Avengers
2. Dark Shadows
3. Think Like a Man
4. The Hunger Games
5. The Lucky One

Now for the movie news for the week:

• Ron Howard is still working to get the Dark Tower movie off the ground.After Universal Pictures dropped the trilogy and TV series, there has been a lack of new on the topic. Recently, Warner Bros. has said that they were interested in the project, but nothing has been set into stone yet. I still have hope that Ron Howard will make this happen.
• Disney CEO Robert A. Iger has confirmed that The Avengers 2 is already in development. After the recent box office success, why wouldn't they. I feel that as long as Joss Whedon is involved in the movie, it is going to get amazing. Now people are wondering when the movie will hit theater. After recent movie announcements like Ant Man and the S.H.I.E.L.D. movie, the movie probably wont be release until 2015.
• Marion Cotillard confronts the rumors abouth her character in The Dark Knight Rises. She states that her character, Miranda Tate is just a glorified love interest to Bruce Wayne. She also states that she will be playing the Talia al Ghul, just under a different name. She will have ties to the League of Shadows and Bane. She also falls in love with Batman and is on his side by the end of the movie.
• Andre 3000 will be playing Jimi Hendrix in an upcoming biopic. The movie will be set between 1966 and 1967 and will be about the time Hendrix was discovered at a New York City club by the girlfriend of a the famous Rolling Stones guitarist  Linda Keith. The movie will not included any of Jimi Hendrix's music, but still could turn out well.
• One of my Favorite parts of The Avengers:
• Here is some back story of the Lizard and Dr. Curt Conners in The Amazing Spider-Man:
  
  
• The new trailer releases for the week:
• The Amazing Spider-Man:
  
  
• Ben Affleck's Historical Thriller called Argo:

The Hunger Games Soundtrack was better then the movie!

On Fridays I will be going to my iTunes and turning on shuffle and who ever is the artist of the song that plays will be the focus for this blog. This Friday is going to be a little different though.

This weeks post is going to be about: The Hunger Games Soundtrack
I recently bought the soundtrack for The Hunger Games movie. I thought it was a really good soundtrack. Then I went and saw the movie. Let me just say, I really didn't like the movie. It was boring, couldn't keep my attention, and almost put me to sleep. There were only a few parts I liked. Woody Harrelson played by far the greatest character in the movie. He was kind of like the comic relief.

Some of my favorite artists had songs on the album. Artists like The Civil Wars, Taylor Swift, and Maroon 5 were the reasons I bought the album. The album actually followed the tone of the movie. Soft, slow, and very soothing.

The Civil Wars was a group that I got into thanks to iTunes. iTunes was offering a free song of the week and it was Barton Hollow by The Civil Wars. I liked it so I ended up buying the whole album. They were actually one of the groups that might have gone on tour with Needtobreathe.

Taylor Swift is know by everybody today. She has an amazing voice and is really talented. One thing that made her cooler in my book is she actually had Needtobreathe open up for her on her most recent US tour.

Maroon 5 has been popular on my iTunes for a while. I actually have an album by them from back when they were called Kara's Flowers. So yea, i'm a fan.

My Favorite song from the album:

I Love me some Grilled iPad!

The Technology news for the week:

• Facebook is planning to integrate Instagram filters into their mobile app very soon. Soon, the Instagram app will virtually useless. I hope that they keep this going and release a new filter once a month just to keep things new and fresh.
• This is what happens when you grill and iPad 3 and a Galaxy Tab 10.1:
  
  Crazy right?
  
• iOS 5.1.1 has been released this past week. If you havent downloaded it yet and dont know what is coming with it, here is what the update includes:
  
  If you have a jailbroken device, do not download or install this update until the new jailbreak for your device comes out.
• And now for the Youtube Channel of the Week, which is: Barats and Bereta
  They are a comedy duo that has been making videos on Youtube for years now. They have been around since December of 2005. I subscribed to them back in  late 2009, early 2010. They were actually the reason that I made a YouTube account. I remember sitting in chemistry class with some friends of mine watching their videos and dying laughing. Here is the most recent video by them:

The World Needs You!

The Gaming news for the week:

• Valve has announced that they will not be announcing anything new at E3 this year. They state that they will be talking about stuff we have already heard of. They are talking about Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Dota 2. I hope that is just a marketing ploy to keep peoples eye of them while they work on Half-Life 3 and Left 4 Dead 3. I would be happy hearing about either game.
• After much speculation of who will Assume the Da Vinci Role in Assassin's Creed 3, it has been confirmed that Benjamin Franklin will not play that role. From an interview, Ubisoft states that Benjamin Franklin just wasn't that type of inventor. I agree, but there needs to be somebody that makes the cool stuff for Conner. Also, I would find it funny if that added a character named Johnny Tremain in the game.
• For anyone who wants to see Microsoft's E3 press release, I have good news for you. Microsoft has announced that they will be streaming it live on to your Xbox 360 and on Spike TV on Monday June 4th at 12:30 PST. Even though Microsoft says they will not be announcing the next generation console, it will still be packed with cool stuff.
• Here is the official cover of Madden NFL 13 with Calvin Johnson:
  
• There still might be hope for a game for The Avengers. Ubisoft just registered an new domain for The Avengers that suggest that they are working on a game for the Box Office Hit. Until Ubisoft confirms it, I would not worry to much about the game.
• Here is the announcement trailer for The Elder Scrolls Online:
  
  The only bad news is that it will only be for Mac and PC players.
• New Dead Space 3 rumors have been released. Issac Clarke will have have a new companion that will help guide him through the Campaign. There are a few rumors that suggest that there will be drop-in/drop-out Co-Op for the game. There also might be improved mobility in the game.
• Here is something you Assassin's Creed 3 fans might enjoy:
  
  If you head on over to this link here, you can help unlock the World Gameplay Premiere for the game. I've done my part, now its your turn!

Jon Hamm is an old Daniel Radcliffe!

The Television news for the week:

• Daniel Radcliffe will play a younger version of Jon Hamm in a four-part British television miniseries. The miniseries is about a young Russian doctor during the post World War 1 era, played by Daniel Radcliffe, that tries to overcome his shakiness and self-doubt. Jon Hamm will play the narrator and will occasionally interact with his younger self. The series will have a sort of  darkly humorous tone. I think it would be funny to hear Daniel Radcliffe and Jon Hamm with an Russian accent.
• Supernatural has been renewed for another season and man am I happy. But I also heard that it may be the shows last season. With many fans complaining about the 7th seasons main nemesis, the Leviathans, not being the main story, fans that have been watching the show for years have been walking away from the show. I liked this season so far, it is what a series like this needs. The show has been around for seven seasons. They have the slow the show down or they will over achieve on some episodes and royally suck on others. After season 8 Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles will have to resign their contracts. If season 7 finshes well and season 8 is very good, then I believe that they will sign contracts for 2 more seasons. At that point they need to bring the show to a close so that the show doesn't get to crazy. That's just what I think.
• Remember that TV Show I was talking about back in this blog called True Detectives, well HBO has just decided to pick it up. True Detectives is the story of two Louisiana detectives named Martin Hart, played by Woody Harrelson, and Rust Cohle, played by Matthew McConaughey, on the hunt for a serial killer that spans 17 years. With HBO deciding to put out amazing content, like Boardwalk Empire and Band of Brothers, I think this could turn out well. I will still wait on making my own decisions about the series until I see the Pilot.
• Robert Kirkman is super excited for Season 3 of The Walking Dead. Season 3 is currently under production and will be for a few months. Robert talks about many things he is excited for in th upcoming season, such as:
• Bringing the Comic Book alive like never before.
• The story line of the prison,  Michonne, and the Governor.
• Michonne will be hacking some zombies.
• Season 3 has is set for 16 episodes. over twice the amount that season 1 had.
• Season 3 premieres on AMC this October.
• Since today's blog is kind of short and I know you guys want my review of The Avengers, I am willing to make a deal. If the blog gets 75 total views today, I will post my review of The Avengers. I may even give something away. So, GET STARTED!!!

I almost cried when he died!

As always on the Monday blog, the Weekend Box Office Results:

1. Marvel's The Avengers
2. Think Like a Man
3. The Hunger Games
4. The Lucky One
5. The Pirates! Band of Misfits

And now for the movie news for the week:

• Since the Hulk was an amazing character in The Avengers they have decided to do more with him. Marvel has just announced that they will be doing a Hulk TV show and they might have Mark Ruffalo back to play the Hulk/Bruce Banner. Then in 2015, a new Hulk movie might be hitting theaters. If they continue with the Hulk from The Avengers, then this is finally a good enough Hulk to do something with.
• Here is a parody trailer for the Justice League movie Avengers style. There is another video of The Avengers vs. Batman. These come from one of my favorite Youtube Channels ItsJustSomeRandomGuy. Check them out below:
  
  
• Here is an awesome superhero movie mashup set to Weezer's Perfect Situation. That is the only way I can describe it, so check it out below:
  
• Scarlett Johansson, Black Widow, may be pretty busy very soon. After her success in Iron Man 2 and The Avengers, she may be very busy working on multiple movies. Marvel wants to make a Hawkeye and Black Widow spin-off film. They also might end up doing a Black Widow solo film. And then Marvel may have her apart of the Nick Fury/S.H.E.I.L.D. movie in the works. Since she wont be in Iron Man 3 and the sequel for The Avengers wont be coming out anytime soon, Marvel has to somehow continue/tell the story of Black Widow.
• Michelle Rodriguez is back in Fast and the Furious 6 and Machete Kills. This is news to me since IO though she died in Fast and Furious. I had to look it up and she actually didn't die in a segment after the credits. Since she is now confirmed in Fast 6, does that mean she will be the one fighting Gina Carano? I hope so, otherwise the movie will be filled with women beaters. Now there is news that David Tennant might be joining the movie. My only question is what is his character?
• Here is a mashup between The Avengers and The Hangover. Its pretty funny so check it out below:
  
• Lionsgate has signed Francis Lawrence to direct the sequel to The Hunger Games, Catching Fire. Francis Is most famous for directing I Am Legend. I have not see The Hunger Games yet, but I do plan on seeing it soon. Do you think he is a good choice to direct the film?
• Video interview of Clark Gregg and Cobie Smulders from The Avengers. This is Awesome, so check it out below:
  
  
• Kick-Ass 2 is to begin production this Summer and be set to release in May 2013. There are very few details about the movie. Red Mist gets a name change. The role of hit girl may be given to someone new since Chloë Moretz is busy with other projects. I will post more details as they come out.
• Tons of new trailers:
• The Dark Knight Rises Trailer #3
  
  
• The Expendables 2 Trailer #2
  
  
• The Amazing Spider-Man Trailer #3
  
  
• The Watch Red Band Trailer

Jeremy Camp: I Still Believe!

On Fridays I will be going to my iTunes and turning on shuffle and who ever is the artist of the song that plays will be the focus for this blog.
This weeks post is going to be about: Jeremy Camp
Jeremy Camp is an amazing Christian artist. I have been a major fan of his for a few years now. I first learned about him when I saw him when he was on tour with Newsboys. That was back when they were promoting their album Adoration. It took me a couple weeks after that to purchase my first album by him and i'm glad I did. He is a very inspirational person and an amazing singer!
He released a book in the last year about his life leading up to his music career. In it he talks about he got though his wife's death and how God helped him in times of need. It also talks about his early life as a poor preacher's kid in Indiana. I like his music so much, its soft and loud at needed time. I am only lacking one album by him that was distributed independently. I am hoping to find it soon so that I can complete my collection.
Here is my all time favorite song by him:

And that is how my iTunes found them while it was on Shuffle!
