An accurate telling of where and how everyone died in Nakatomi Plaza that fateful christmas.

GameSpoon: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Gameplay Trailer

Wow...Speechless?

Okay people, let's re-cap. The next Infinity Ward Call Of Duty, Modern Warfare 2, looks like it is picking up where we left off in COD 4; for those of us who played the campaign mode in the game. Unless I'm mistaken, is this the first COD game to continue a storyline?

For those of you who missed the boat on COD4: Modern Warfare, who then decided to pass on COD5: World at War (which you shouldn't have done, that game is fantastic!). Well your time has come. COD6: MW2 looks like it could be the greatest COD to date. It is your time, it is not to late to jump onto the COD bandwagon!

TubeSpoon - Upfronts Preview of ABC's Remake Of 'V'.

Fans of the early 80's sci-fi series will certainly be looking forward to ABC's upcoming remake. 'V' tells the story of a technologically advanced race of aliens that come to earth in peace...or so we're lead to believe. As the majority of Earth has accepted this new race as their saviors, a resistance is silently being formed. Their symbol is a spray painted red V...V For Victory.

Some familiar faces can be seen in this update, including Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliette from Lost), Scott Wolf (Party Of Five), and Morena Baccarin (Firefly).

This could be another hit for ABC and--along with the upcoming Flash Forward--could fill the void when Lost ends next year.

FlickSpoon - Star Trek

Damn, I LOVE JJ Abrams' Star Trek...I also really got a kick out of this SNL clip.

Live long and prosper!

TubeSpoon - CHUCK SAVED! Picked Up For A 3rd Season...but there's a catch.

Alright, the good news is that The Hollywood Reporter is, well, reporting that Chuck has been renewed and that NBC/Uni will announce on Tuesday. All good, right? That's what we at The Spoon and fans around the world wanted.

But this is NBC we're dealing with; there's always a catch.

The Reporter is also reporting that the Josh Schwartz comedy will suffer a MASSIVE budget cut. That means less visual effects, action sequences, and/or (heaven forbid) dropping cast members. I think we all know where they are going with this.

Buy More crew? See ya.

Ellie and Awesome? Later.

It has been a rocky road for Chuck, but at least it is getting the 3rd Season that it sorely needs. Especially after that Season 2 finale...

GameSpoon - BioShock 2

IGN posted a video of BioShock 2 gameplay! Well, not much to say really. It's pretty self-explanatory.

We all are looking forward to this title!

GameSpoon - Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption, the new upcoming game from Rockstar Games. This title looks sweet! I only hope it delivers.

Having never played the predecessor to Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Revolver (a game that received average scores; released in 2004), I honestly can't tell you what I expect from the game play. I love the prospect of an old west setting, it's a great setting for an action/adventure game based on outlaws.

Red Dead Redemption places you in the shoes of Clint Eastwood-style, former outlaw named John Martson. You are tasked with bringing law to the open world of the old frontier of the west; you can surely expect a few gunfights along the way.

The game will launch in the Fall of this year (2009) and will be available for both the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. This gives you plenty of time to clean out your spitoon, polish your Colt Peacemaker and saddle your ride... ye haw!

Enjoy!

TubeSpoon - CHUCK SAVED? Stay Tuned.

UPDATE: Chuck's fate will be decided on May 19th. By our own admission, The Spoon may have jumped the gun. NBC's Ben Silverman is now reporting that IF Chuck comes back, it may not be on Monday nights.

STAY TUNED.

After a week of internet speculation, a Subway campaign, and heated, coffee-fueled debate (primarily amongst those of us at The Spoon), NBC/Universal is expected to announce the renewal of CHUCK for next season. The spy comedy will join Parks & Recreation, Medium, Law & Order, and Southland as NBC's hour long survivors in the upcoming The Jay Leno Show era.

It's great to see fan support for this fun and intelligent show. It's also good that SpoonRock and I will be spared further unnecessary bitterness towards television as a whole.

TechSpoon - Disney Joins HULU.

Disney, and it's subsidiary ABC, have finally joined forces with HULU--the brainchild of NBC/Universal and NewsCorp (Fox). Now web viewers will not only be able to view kid friendly Disney Channel content, but also hit ABC shows such as Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, Ugly Betty, Scrubs, etc. Like NBC and Fox, Disney will also have classic series ready for streaming as well as select features from The Walt Disney Studios.

RandmSpn - Washingtn Natinals

.......no comment

Two players from the Washington Nationals on the 17th wore jerseys that sported the incorrect spelling of the teams name. Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman took the field last Friday sporting the name Natinals. The issue was resolved by the third inning, but not before it got the commentators, sports writers, and SportsCenter's attention.

Jersey maker Majestic took full responsibility on the 23rd. "All of us at Majestic Athletic want to apologize to both the Washington Nationals and Major League Baseball for accidentally omitting the 'o' in two Nationals jerseys," Majestic Athletic president Jim Pisani said in a statement. He continued; "We take 100 percent responsibility for this event and we regret any embarrassment for the Nationals organization, players and fans."

It's not like the Nationals are having a stellar season as it is. At 3-11, they are 5th in the NL East. Kind of fits with the theme this season so far, I'd say.

My last thought on this: Does it make it even MORE embarrassing that they play at our nations capital?

GameSpoon - Mega64: Shadow of the Colossus

We can only hope that the when the film comes out, it can be almost as awesome as this! Thanks Mega64!

GameSpoon - Fallout New Vegas

Hot off the press from Kotaku, it was announced that a brand new Fallout game will be hitting the shelves next year. This game is not a sequel to Fallout 3, but rather it simply takes place within the Fallout universe. The game will be called Fallout New Vegas - with a name like that, we can only assume it takes place in Vegas.

Fallout New Vegas will be released for the PC, 360 and PS3. The game will feature a similar RPG experience as what has been created for Fallout 3. Mmmm...VATS 2.0?? Oh, I can't wait!

FlickSpoon - Transformers ShoWest Footage

*Exclusive* Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Footage from Bay Films/Michael Bay Dot Com on Vimeo.

After receiving the Vanguard Award for Excellence in Filmmaking at ShoWest earlier this month, Michael Bay revealed new Transformers footage for the people in attendance. That footage is now available on his website as well as right here on The Spoon.

TeaSpoon - MSNBC on Teabagging

I'm amazed that this is actually real - to me, it seems like it should be on The Onion or something. Ha, it is hilarious.

"can we roll the footage of the million man march?"

TubeSpoon - The State on DVD..........maybe?

I see some familiar faces.

Fond memories of my youth revolve around the television series "The State". The State was a sketch comedy show that aired on MTV from December of 1993 to July of 1995 and sparked the career of some comedians you may have seen. Members of The State have gone on to write, act in/or direct other shows and films as Wet Hot American Summer,Reno 911!, Stella, Viva Variety, and Human Giant.

There have been rumors the last few years about the series being released on DVD. As of January 29, 2008, Michael Showalter has confirmed that MTV is still delaying the release: "They have it. We've made the DVD, and it exists. It's out of our hands, and I know who has it, but I don't know why they're waiting... we've done the commentary and the deleted material and all that stuff, but I just don't know when it's coming out." [avclub.com]. The biggest setback appears to be licensing to the songs used during the skits. The cost to use the songs would be more than they would project to bring in from sales.

I was recently informed that there was a release date but As of 04/14/2009, it appears that this was just another rumor. According to The State's official website: "Despite rumors to the contrary, there is still no official release date for The State MTV series DVDs.". So MTV still does not want to shell out the money to license the songs.

So, in leiu of this infromation, I will have to stick to watching my favorite skits in crappy youtube quality. Skits like the one below. Let's see what happens when a friendly race between a father and son goes tragically wrong.

FlickSpoon - Netflix Now Coming to More "Platforms"

Can Mario finally finish season 6 of "The Sopranos"?

Rumor has it that Netflix is now coming to a console near you. It has been nearly 5 months since the service has been released for the Xbox360, and since then Netflix has gained more than 1 million subscribers to their service. An impressive number considering the company totals about 10 million subscribers.

Now it appears that Netflix would like to branch out to other console owners. It has been confirmed that they are looking for an "Engineering Leader--Gaming Platforms" to direct "a small technology team to rapidly prototype and iterate on a variety of platforms."

While it has not been confirmed what platform they are looking to expand to, the most obvious choice is the PS3. But what about the Wii? Some people say that there will be a disc that you can purchace for $9.99 that will allow you to access the Netflix streaming library. Others, such as Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, state that the Nintendo service would be different from their competetors.
