May the 4th Be With You

Happy Star Wars Day everyone!!
So things have been very busy in the Wired Gamers world, and the real world as well. On Sunday U.S. Navy SEALS took down Public Enemy Number One. And most of us here at Wired Gamers are finishing up school for the year.
As you may have noticed from my intro and the title of today's post, it is Star Wars Day, May the 4th (get it?). And thanks to the internet, I traced down the origins of of this geek holiday. According to ABC, the holiday comes from a misinterpretation of a George Lucas interview by a German news organization who interpreted "May the Force be with you" as "May the 4th be with you" ABC Article.
Also today George Lucas and crew released a website discussing September's Blu-Ray release of the Star Wars Saga. Here is the webpage: May The 4th Be With You. I would greatly recommend you go to this site and see what is coming in September. I am really looking forward to this box set coming out. It looks incredible. And if you decide that what you see is super awesome, then here is the link to the box set on Amazon: Star Wars Blu-Ray on Amazon. For those of you who don't know anything about this release, there will be 3 box sets coming out in September, one that is all six movies, one for the first trilogy, and one for the second trilogy. I can't recommend it enough. The amount of special features are incredible.

Prequel Trilogy Box Set

Original Trilogy Box Set

Complete Trilogy Box Set

Yup those are the box sets. And there aren't really any big game releases this week except for the Call of Duty map pack called Escalation which if you haven't bought yet here it is: Escalation on Xbox Live. Also this weekend Thor is coming to theaters and it looks great. Plus it has Natalie Portman. All of you should go watch it this weekend.

Here is the Thor trailer:

That is all. Carry on!
