New Dark Knight Rises trailer is awesome!
We’re just a month away from the last of the Christopher Nolan Batman Movies, The Dark Knight Rises. I’m very excited for it, having already bought my tickets to see it in IMAX. But now that we’ve seen this new Nokia exclusive trailer below, I’m somehow even more excited, as if that were possible! Check it out, and get practicing on your Batman voice!
I hit up Too Many Games last night, and managed to sneak my way into the secret shows of both BrentalFloss and The Minibosses. And I recorded video of both of their sets. Come see them both after the jump.

Friday Five – Most Disappointing Sequels
Sometimes a sequel can be much better that the film it was spawned from. We’ll get to those later. But this week I examine those films that just suck in comparison to those that came before them, and in fact can make those first movies even worse just by existing.

Burger Kings adds new Bacon Sundae for summer
In an effort to try to reclaim some market share over the summer, and keeping in line with their new broader menu of smoothies and other things that aren’t entirely terrible for you, Burger King will be adding some new limited time items to its menu this week. They are playing up on the whole “flame broiled” thing, and going with a summer cookout type theme for these items, which includes a Memphis Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich, Carolina or Texas BBQ Whopper (the difference between them I don’t know, I assume different style sauce) and Sweet Potato fries. But while those sound intriguing from a place that historically focused on burgers, the one the really interests me is the new Bacon Sundae. You read that right. BACON SUNDAE.
Finally some E3 news for the non hardcore gamers. Namco Bandai revealed today at E3 that the villains in the new Star Trek co-op game, which is set in the universe of the new JJ Abrams films, and takes place between the 2009 film and its upcoming sequel will be . . . the Gorn!
Another year of WizardWorld has come and gone, and while I’m exhausted and a fair deal poorer than when it all started, I managed to survive. So what all happened? Read onwards and we’ll tell you! If you’re looking for the Captains Panel coverage, move straight to page 2.

Friday Five – Internet Meme’s
Memes? Who doesn’t love em? The power of the internet to force feed funny (or unfunny) things down its own throat for extended periods of time is totally awesome right? Because it’s not a thing on the internet until it goes viral!

Taco Bell unveils new Mountain Dew A.M.
What nerd doesn’t love Taco Bell and Mountain Dew? None that I know. Even though Taco Bell Breakfast won’t be fully nationwide until sometime in 2014, they have unveiled a new “Breakfast Dew” for those times when you play games all night long and then get a hankering for tacos. The new “Mountain Dew A.M.” is a mix of classic Mountain Dew and Orange Juice, so it’s like a Mimosa, but not in any way classy. Personally, the only thing I ever found that mixed well with Mountain Dew was Code Red and Peach Schnapps, which is absolutely delicious. So if your Taco Bell has breakfast, give it a shot, or make some up on your own and let me know what you think.
