Here we have the first promo for the 5th and final season of Chuck. The 13-episode season will tie up the loose ends and introduce some new villains (Mark Hamill!). It is still unlike the regular spy drama or nerd comedy, and that is why we love it so.
Bacardi Together
Today comes a bit of a showcase post for an inspiring tvc that aired during the premiere of Underbelly: Razor week before last. Clearly it has taken some time for this post to appear on the blog. I would blame my increasingly demanding professional life as well as the rumbling boulder which is my Masters project for my lack of commitment to this blog of late, but that would be a pointless act.
Normally advertising campaigns for alcohol do not leave any resonating thoughts or feelings but the energy of this ad grabbed my attention. I found the combination of animation and live action very effective in creating a sense of tone that is generally lacking in adverts for alcohol products. Before I begin to branch of into tangents which will undoubtedly be unrelated to the current topic I think I shall call it quits.

Comic-Con - Chuck
Have managed to find some videos of the Chuck Season 5 Comic Con panel. Bit of a bittersweet panel for Zachary Levi and co as it was their final panel for the show. The panel covers alot of things, everything that comes with a show entering its final season. They talk about where Chuck is without the Intersect, where Morgan is with it, how does the CIA factor into now they are working privately. Big news from the panel is that there may be a main cast death before the season is over and the casting of Mark Hamill as a villain for some part of the season.

3DS. Or not.
I do think I am going to get a 3DS. I have been contemplating a DS/PSP for a good few years now and it seems as though it's finally at a point where there are the games to warrant buying one. To be perfectly honest, it's mostly Ocarina of Time that has finally swayed my stance on whether or not to buy one, but there is also a number of upcoming games (Starfox64, Super Mario, MarioKart, Super Smash Bros) that are also quite exciting.
There's also the potential that it will be able to link up with the Wii-U in some aspect which could be cool. Hopefully more than the Gamecube and the Advance did but we'll see. Target has a pretty good deal in their Toy Sale that starts Thursday so I'll go and check it out...
