Hasta La Gadget!

TellTale’s The Walking Dead game has received countless praise by the media as well as fans of the popular TV series for its incredible story that lead to the majority of people still regretting many of their decisions to this day. The last episode of the game’s first season was released this past November, but fans of the game have been waiting to hear more about The Walking Dead’s second season.

TellTale recently revealed fans of The Walking Dead can expect the game’s second season to take place fall of this year, although Walking Dead writer Gary Whitta hinted at the possibility of there being additional content planned to be released between the first and second season. “There may very well be more Walking Dead from Telltale before Season Two,” he said. “We may have a little something extra for you between Season One and Season Two.” (more…)

Like millions of you out there, I’m stoked for the Season 3.2 return of The Walking Dead tonight. In honor of the occasion, our friends over at KitchenOverlord have put together a little recipe you can throw together, even while the zombie horde descends on your camp.

This Dandelion Green and Walnut Pesto can be easily assembled from items foraged in Georgia – with the exception of maybe the lemon. And there is that little part about needing a blender and electricity… Oh well, maybe it’s impractical after the zombies attack, but at least you can make some for tonight and toss it with some pasta. I’d go with red colored pasta so it looks like guts, of course.

One of my most favorite games of 2013 has got to be The Walking Dead from TellTale Games. Each episode had some of the most amazing scenes that will certainly stay with me for years to come, and that’s something rare seeing how many games I play on a regular basis. It seems I wasn’t the only one who enjoyed the game as TellTale announced quite the feat for its The Walking Dead game.

In total, The Walking Dead sold 8.5 million episodes within seven months of its first episode being published digitally in April 2012. The Walking Dead game has been available on PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and iOS, with the latter performing the best out of all platforms.

The best months for The Walking Dead’s sales were in November and December thanks to a combination of the actual game itself, game of the year awards and The Walking Dead being available in retail stores.

It’s rumored a new season of The Walking Dead game will be published in 2013, and seeing how this series has been the most successful for TellTale Games, we’re sure the company is planning something Walking Dead related in the future.

Dish Network announced Sunday that the long and drawnout court case between it and AMC Networks along with sister company Cablevision Systems had finally been settled. The court case focused on a now-defunct service called Voom, and was originally filed in 2008. Dish Network later decided to drop AMC claiming that its channels cost too much.

Dropping AMC networks meant that Dish Network subscribers no longer had access to some the best and most popular shows on television including Mad Men, Breaking Bad and the zombie hit The Walking Dead. Fans of that show were particularly peeved because the show recently started its latest season. In fact, the entire last season of Breaking Bad was missed by Dish subscribers. During the blackout, AMC even ran an unprecedented and aggressive marketing campaign against Dish.

The good news for fans of the zombie drama is that the service came back on Sunday night, just in time to watch the latest episode of The Walking Dead. The settlement will have Dish Network paying Cablevision and AMC Networks $700 million in cash. Other AMC Networks channels, including IFC, We TV and the Sundance Channel will return to Dish Network on November 1.

The fall premiere season is hardly over, with CW taking the wraps off of if its new comic book adaptation, Arrow (preview video embedded after the break) while NBC and ABC unveil Chicago Fire and Nashville. Of course, some old favorites are returning too, and web series Dr. Horrible’s Singalong Blog is making its TV debut Tuesday night. Oh, and some little flick called E.T. is coming home on Blu-ray for the first time. Look below for the highlights this week, followed after the break by our weekly listing of what to look out for in TV, Blu-ray and videogames.

The Walking Dead
After season two’s exciting finale we are once again all in on AMC’s zombie apocalypse series. Fans of the comic are looking forward to seeing characters like Michonne and The Governor, but first our ragtag band of survivors will apparently try to take control of a prison. Should be a piece of cake. Check out the season three trailer embedded after the break and set your DVR for Sunday night.
(October 14th, AMC, 9PM)

Prometheus
The sci-fi movie that has produced more divisive opinions than any other in 2012 finally hits Blu-ray this week. Complete with a 3D edition and requisite iPad companion app, the hook is promises of extra scenes and background information that may help fill in this story. Unfortunately, unlike one of director Ridley Scott’s other flicks, Blade Runner, the extras aren’t smoothly integrated as an XL-sized director’s cut, at least not in this edition. Still, if you dig it there should be plenty to keep you watching once the movie is over, and while it’s playing the visual effects will entertain.

The League
Whether you’re as obsessed with fantasy football as we are or not (hopefully not, it’s just unhealthy at some point) this series about a group of friends and their league is one of the most consistently funny shows of the last few seasons. Last season ended with the Shiva trophy getting a viking funeral at sea, and while we have on idea how they’ll top that, we suspect Rafi will be involved somehow. Of course, it’s not the only show on FX Thursday night, as It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia returns ahead of it this week, with shows from Russell Brand and W Kamau Bell bringing up the rear.
