The Geek This Week Ending May 18

So what all went on this week?

  • Facebook had the biggest IPO evar of a technology company, raising $16 billion USD
  • Blizzard dropped Diablo III, amidst a host of problems, which they’ve apologized for. (And I swear if it did not save my progress again, I am rage quitting)
  • No surprise here, Marvel’s The Avengers is still on top of the box office. The adorable and chocolate lickable-offable Alexander Skarsgard, who appears in Battleship, is not expected to make much of a dent. Since I don’t seem him in many trailers I’m guessing he’s not in a starring role. Fool move, Battleship producers, do you know how many Trubie straight women and gay men you could have had going to that movie JUST to see him? Stupid.
  • This summer is predicted to be hot. No word yet on whether water is still expected to be wet.
  • Finally, if you are a fan of NBC’s Grimm (and if you’re not, I highly recommend this show, it’s awesome) tonight is the season finale, 9/8c.
