Dead Island Trailer

This trailer gives no sense of the gameplay itself, but it's one hell of an intense trailer (warning: Contains lots of blood, as well as the ubiquitous Prepubescent Zombie Girl):

Rewatching House

Midway through season 3 of House (which I'm watching with Elayna), I'm amazed that the show managed to survive both the Vogler (Season 1) and Tritter (Season 3) storylines. They're two of the worst-written and poorly thought out storylines I've ever sat through, and they're also wastes of two great actors.

Season 2's big multi-episode storyline, featuring House's ex, Stacy, wasn't all that great, either (although it held together more believably than the other ones).

That's why I'm amazed that, once Season 4 hit and we started regularly having multi-episode story arcs, the show didn't suck. If you'd told me that David Shore had been replaced after season 3, I'd have believed it, based on the way arcs are handled.

Speaking of weak storylines

I loved the main arc of last night's Criminal Minds (and no, haven't watched the spin-off yet), but much as I love Prentiss, the idea of slipping in some sort of evil James Bond character -- complete with Bond-like superpowers, like vanishing without a trace, traveling incognito, access to classified intel, and an ability to break into any place at any time -- is just wrong. Throw that crap over to NCIS, where it belongs.
