Tonight was the 3 episode season finale of Community. The final 3 episodes of the just last week was thought to be the final 3rd season of Community. You could tell that Community creator Dan Harmon was well aware that this could be the shows final season. There was no traditional paintball episode within the finale but they did a whole lot more instead. Everything that has been slowly hinted at came together. Don’t worry, I won’t spoil anything. It was all to amazing that I would hate to be the one to take the surprises away from another Community fan. The long awaited episode of Giancarlo Giuseppe Alessandro Esposito (Gus in Breaking Bad) finally appeared and was beautifully crafted. But most importantly, I  was extremely happy with how it concluded. I nearly got teary eyed because had NBC not renewed Community, the finale was done just perfectly to end on a great note. However, NBC did renew Community for 13 more episodes and that gives Community fans plenty to rejoice for.

A week into the Carmageddon: Reincarnation kickstarter, and they’ve already got just over $250,000 pledged!  Fantastic!  Still a ways to go, and time to do it in, but now is not the time to slow down.  If you like running over pedestrians, vehicular combat, vulgar humor, wacky powerups, and lunatic drivers, check it out and hopefully pledge.  If you know anyone who likes those things, make sure they know about this project!  The more people that know, the better.

I always enjoy when I see actors that I like continue to get good roles and rise up in the ranks of popularity. I may not know what they have been up to through the years but it is nice when I see them back in the spotlight. I just learned that Crash Override A.K.A. Zero Cool (Hackers 1995)  is the new modern day US Sherlock Holmes in Elementary.  Jonny Lee Miller will be playing the modern day Sherlock alongside Lucy Lui. I had fun watching Hackers in the late 90s but he disappeared from my radar until he was the main villain in Dexter 3 years back. And now he is back in a new show. I know there is lots of drama at the moment because there already is a modern day UK Sherlock Holmes TV show that is really good called Sherlock. But since it is a UK show, they are remaking it into an American show. I have mixed feeling about this because it has a 50/50 chance of success. The U.S. version of The Office turned out much better than the UK version of The Office. But then you have the UK version of Skins is so amazing it a crime to compare it to the US version of Skins. Who knows, maybe there is room in the world for three awesome Sherlock Holmes.  You didn’t think I forgot about Downing’s movie version of Sherlock?

Well ho-ly poop on a platter!  First Carmageddon Reincarnation gets a kickstarter (which you should totally pledge to), but now Rock Paper Shotgun has released an interview with the lead developer of Black Mesa, Carlos Montero, about what happened to the mod these past years.

Big deal you might think, and you’d be justified.  Black Mesa has been in development hell for 7 years.  It’s got nearly the level of infamy of Duke Nukem Forever, and we all know how that turned out.  In fact, if you’re just hoping for another release date, you’ll be disappointed.  Carlos only gives “soon-ish.”  I’m hopeful this time.  Considering that this is a development team that has basically said “we’re not going to say anything until it’s done because the community flips its shit any time we say anything” the idea that one of the lead devs is saying soon-ish now must mean something big is coming.  You can read both parts of the interview for yourself:
What Happened to Black Mesa Source Part 1
What Happened to Black Mesa Source Part 2

All we need now to make this week complete is the original dev team for System Shock 1 to come back together and announce a remake of that.
