I haven’t read these yet, I was told to wait until this one came out so I wouldn’t be among the frustrated masses. I guess the series can go up on the list once I finish The Name of the Rose and Decision Points.

It was announced early today that Mark Whalberg as signed on to play Nathan Drake in the big-screen adaptation of the best-selling video game Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune. Now I’ve been waiting for this news for a long time – I loved this game. I loved it’s even better follow up Uncharted: Among Thieves. As far as I’m concerned these are the two best video games. Ever.

The Walking Dead - The Monday De-Cap Episode 1:...
NOTE: There may be some spoilers here for people who want to know nothing about the show, but to be honest I don’t think this is the kind of show where knowing what happens affects your watching it (and it’s a recap so really you should have seen it already shouldn’t you?) Also, this one’s a bit long as it was the premier and an extra half-hour long. Enjoy!
