GameTrailers have produced some excellent Zelda Retrospective episodes, the final one, number 6, is about the timeline of the Zelda universe, and they try to line the existing Zelda games in a chronological order according to the periods of time they happen in the over all story line. It's very interesting, so take a look.
Recently a South Park episode featured a lot of ingame scenes from World of Warcraft, the four kids battle against a 1337 gamer who has reached a level so high no one knew it existed, yes it's not really authentic, but a lot of fun never the less. I was wondering how they created the game scenes, and stumbled upon this interview at Machinima.com, with members from the South Park animation staff. Very interesting, apparently Blizzard gave them a spot on a Burning Crusade alpha server to do the shots.
"The Blizzard team gave us a special "friends and family" server to play on. Every once an a while a strange player would walk by and check out group the filming. The programmers could instantly kill a player that got in the way of filming. There's a player out there wondering what they had stumbled upon just before they were wiped from the location."
Todd McFarlane, probably best known for the Spawn character, has produced a series of action figures from Lost. They all come with a detailed base, built-in audio chips, that play memorable quotes from the show, and a prop central to that character's story. So far the following figures are available, props for each character mentioned in parentheses: Jack (Kate's Mugshot), Hurley (Lottery Ticket), Kate (Toy Airplane), Locke (Walkabout Travel Brochure), Charlie (Drive Shaft Ring) and Shannon (Roussea's Island Map). Each wave of figures, this being the first, will also feature a box set, the box set for the first wave contains the hatch with a light-up feature and mini figures of Locke, Kate, Jack and Hurley. The second wave of figures will be released in spring 2007, and will include Sawyer, Sayid, Desmond, Sun, Jin, Mr. Eko, and the box set will contain the Oceanic Flight 815 crash sight.
More information and pictures available at the official website, which also features all the audio clips, several wallpapers and a downloadable luggage tag with the Oceanic Flight logo.
Now you know what to do while waiting for the remaining episodes of season 3.
It was released at 4:00 today, looks interesting, although I'm mostly looking forward to Venom, and he's not featured in the trailer, hopefully that doesn't mean he only has a minor role in the movie.

I for one love Kevin Smith. His movies are great and all, but I mostly like him because of his great storytelling talent, which is a kind of stand-up comedy implemented in interesting stories, this can be enjoyed in An Evening with Kevin Smith (and the upcoming sequel An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder), which are compilations of Q&A sessions at various colleges in the USA.
Now he has created a new show, on mtvU, a part of the mtv tv-network, dedicated to the American college students. The show is called Suck Less with Kevin Smith and features Kevin Smith presenting various clips about events college students can enjoy. The clips themselves are narrated and edited by students at UCLA (University of California). The show can be watched online, and so far two episodes have been released. Being a kind of experimental show, it's not quite as funny as Kevin Smith's usual projects, but still worth a watch.
