After some bad reviews and some video of awkward fighting I got a little worried about Assassins Creed. But I think Gabe’s review is right on and I even though I was planing on getting the game any way I am now once again super excited to finally get the game.

Bitsie Tulloch
It’s so funny that Jonas’ Aunt, Bitsie Tulloch, is suddenly so famous.
Tin Man
I'm actually kind of excited for the Tin Man series on the SciFI channel. It's a re-envisioning of the The Wizard of OZ and seems to do some interesting things with the story. I've been a fan of these kinds of adaptations of old stories since The 10th Kingdom Series that was on years ago.
Where these made for TV series tend to get caught up is bad acting, crappy computer graphics, and bad writing. So far the graphics look really good and the actors all have pretty good track records. So all that's left is the writing. The couple of lines in the previews sounded solid but there is not much more to go on. Over all I think this series has a good chance of getting it right. The first episode is Sunday December 2nd at 9pm. If only Tivo went that far ahead.
Marvel Digital Comics
Marvel puts 2,500 comics online behind a pay wall for $60 a year. This is almost worth it to me as I’ve not been following comics for a while now and I’m sure there are tons of stuff on there I would love to read. If they added the new comics every month I would pay as high as $120 a year for access to that service.
