Wait?! Is This Dead Character Returning to The Flash in Season 2?
Don't punk me CW. I don't want to see Ashton Kutcher pop out and tell me that I just got Punk'd -- and if you don't get that reference I'm sorry that you weren't a part of my generation... but that's a moot point.

Strike Back Is The Reason I Love Television!
This past week I logged onto my Vudu account, mostly because there was an update on my iPad that required me to delete my currently downloaded movies and series' and re-download them all. While the downloads were going, I started surfing through the collection of available shows and films. I found a few shows that were offering the first episode of the series for free download. Since Vudu was being so generous, I graciously accepted their offer and grabbed a few intriguing shows.

Attention PC Gamers: Get Ready To Be a Lawbreaker!
If you don't know the name Cliff Bleszinski, then I'm probably not surprised, but if you don't know his work then I'd be thoroughly surprised. Cliff is a legend in the field of video game design. His first game was unveiled when he was only seventeen. It was a point-and-click adventure called The Palace of Deceit: Dragon's Plight. This game impressed the founder of Epic Games so much that he brought Cliff onto the team and they brought us many shareware games like Overkill, Brix, Jazz Jackrabbit, Radix: Beyond the Void eventually turning to the incredibly successful Unreal Tournament. Cliff later turned his attention towards Microsoft's Xbox 360 and served as the lead designer for the Gears of War ensemble of games. It turned out to be one of Microsoft's early defining properties and earned Bleszinski universal acclaim.
