Game of Thrones: In Memoriam
This video from Comic-Con is but a small slice of all the characters who have lost their lives. Or so I’m told; Dave’s the Game of Thrones watcher around here.
Making Coffee the Steampunk Way
Finally, the steampunk revolution produces something useful!
Extermimaze!
From the Daily Mail:
A Doctor Who fan has celebrated his love of the TV time-lord by carving the biggest image of a Dalek ever created into a maze.
Farmer Tom Pearcy’s tribute to the BBC show is over 300m, or 1,000ft, long and cut out of an 18-acre field of more than one million maize plants.
The design makes up York Maze, the largest maze in Europe and one of the largest in the world.

Man of Steel – Review
“Seriously, put your underpants back on.”
How can you judge a film like Man of Steel without comparing it to all the various media adaptations of the Superman character that have come before? The character has been around for 75 years, and he’s appeared on radio, television, and film almost non-stop ever since. As such, any reboot made with the intention of doing something brand new with the franchise is more than a little naive. That being said, Snyder, Nolan, and Goyer have fashioned a Superman story that is fresh, interesting, exciting, and quite a bit more mature than most adaptations that have come before.
Teaser Trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug
What do you think? Does this mark an improvement over the first movie, or will part 2 of the series be a Two Towers-esque slog? The movie trilogy is clearly a different animal from the novel, and I have to wonder if Desolation will be Peter Jackson’s sandbox for much of the new stuff he’s adding to the story.
New Poster for The Hobbit 2: The Desolation of Smaug
I don’t know if I’ll love the movie, but I do have to hand it to Jackson’s design team. They do impressive work. Click the poster for a high-res version.

Didn’t like last week’s episode of Game of Thrones? Martin has a few words for the fans.
