All of our favorite nerd pursuits combined into one product. Just when I thought I was going to die of nerve explosion while waiting for the next season of AMC's  The Walking Dead comic-to-tv adaptation, Z-Man Games and author Robert Kirkman's Skybound Entertainment announced a joint venture to bring the very first  Walking Dead  board game to retail this summer. We don't have very many details about gameplay beyond the general idea: beating up zombies, trying to live, collecting supplies, and so forth--pretty standard fare that with this license is going to be pretty awesome. Robert Kirkman heartily endorses it, and he ain't no shmuck: "I've always loved board games, but never knew they could be this cool! We've done test plays of  The Walking Dead  board game at the office, and the game play scenarios ring true to what Rick and the other survivors face in the comic book. I couldn't be more impressed with Z-Man Games." The game will be for 1-6 pla...

HBO GO unsheathes a special Game of Thrones offer for subscribers that lets users view seventh episode "You Win or You Die" immediately after episode six! If you're anything like us, the wait in between  Game of Thrones  episodes, though merely a week, drives us madder than the Mad King himself with anticipation!  But no longer! Once this Sunday, May 22nd's episode "A Golden Crown" rolls its credits, HBO GO has a special offer for subscribers that allows them to immediately view episode seven "You Win or You Die" through the service!  And trust us, once you've seen the climax of "A Golden Crown," you're going to need that next episode to avoid early withdrawals!

The Bridesmaids scene-stealer is doubling-down with two new comedies. When I first reviewed Bridesmaids I was so swept up with Kristen Wiig's performance (the best film comedienne since Madeline Kahn) that there were few column inches left to talk about the other performances. As I exited the SXSW premiere, however, I recall saying to friends that "if it were a just world, Melissa McCarthy would be starring in films of her own." Well, there's nothing like a movie overshooting its estimates (it made $25 million at the box office this weekend) and receiving near-universal praise to make miracles happen. Deadline reports that McCarthy is teaming with Bridesmaids co-writer Annie Mumolo on a quest movie to steal the Stanley Cup for her dying husband. The husband will be played by McCarthy's actual husband, Ben Falcone, who plays the object of McCarthy's affection in the soon-to-be-if-not-already airplane scene in Bridesmaids. What disgusting things are in store fo...

Facebook Buying Out Skype? $4 Billion Deal Being Talked About See who Mark Zuckerberg is after these days. We hear the Facebook CEO is eyeing the takeover of the much popular Skype . If the grapevine is true to what it manages to churn out, Facebook might end up buying out Skype for a price close to $4 billion. Some observers out there firmly believe some sort of action is actually happening, but then that doesn’t mean there is a take over bid. They feel that the deal may not be a buy out, but a joint venture between Facebook and Skype. We need not tell you that Skype and Facebook have been associated with each other for some time now.  If you would remember, Facebook had been in the scheme of things at Skype and this was demonstrated by Skype when they rolled out their version 5.0 software for Windows. The software had a dedicated Facebook tab so as to enable users to chat or call Facebook friends via Skype. This was in fact made possible right from “the Facebook ne...

That is amazing because the weekend is hmmmmmm

Friday Night can be a harsh mistress when it comes to our favorite shows, but what of those who survived? Battlestar Galactica Lifespan: 75 Episodes As tends to be the case with cable, and especially the Sci-Fi channel (not SyFy), plenty of shows actually fare better in Friday nights than other time slots. This particularly proved true with the Battlestar Galactica re-make. Of course, the absurdly gripping drama, visuals and storytelling might have had something to do with it as well. Plus, what else did Battlestar fans have to do on a Friday night? Law and Order: SVU Lifespan: 266 Episodes to date Truly, it doesn't matter when you air Mariska Hargitay's attitude and Christopher Meloni's rugged looks. Viewers will follow. Despite never quite eclipsing the popularity of the original Law and Order (and what could), SVU debuted on a Monday before making its way to Friday, and slowly building a bigger audience toward its move to Tuesdays after the fifth season. Wonder Woma...
