Dylan here and the 47th "From the Spirit World" Podcast is now up. You can listen at iTunes or in the podcast page. The second part of this podcast will be up tomorrow. As of now, I do not plan on having a third podcast for this weekend about Comic Con recorded.
Dylan here and Nick has officially announced their MMO for the fall, "Legends of the Arena." "In the game, Avatar: Legends of the Arena, which will serve as a prequel story to the series, players can create their own Avatar character and test their skills against players from around the globe in several 3D online arenas." 77 countries will be launching the game on September 15th. According to the article, the game will also be an RPG as well as a battle game. There will be game tie-ins on Nicktoons Network in the Fall. The article links to a video preview of the fighting portion of the game. In case you were wondering, this was the only new detail announced at Comic Con.(Besides Mike and Bryan taking a nice, but nasty, shot at Zutara of course)
Jake here, and with the awesome news that Avatar blew away the competition in the ratings! Avatar goes out with a bang, just as well all wanted.
USAToday.com has the ratings, and the Avatar finale movie "Sozin's Comet" placed as the (tied for) #4 most watched program on cable last week. It was tied for second overall in terms of scripted programming for the week in cable, bringing in an Avatar record 5.6 million viewers last Saturday night. One DF admin, however, made a bold prediction about two weeks ago, saying the finale would get 5-6 million viewers in total, and his name starts with a J. Yes that person definitely wins for predictions.
For the week Avatar also grabbed the last 3 spots on the top 15. 317 ranked 13 with 4.5 million viewers, 316 ranked 14 with 4.2 million and the movie combined of 314/315 brought in 4.0 million at number 15. Probably the most encouraging news is the ratings went up each day. 317 even brought in more then 219/220, the previously highest viewed episode before. For sure 314-321 is one of the best stretches for Avatar, and has made us all forget the first 13 episodes (and the horror of 309!). Actually, 304, 306, 308, 310-311 and 312 weren't bad, in my opinion. I take that back, all of season 3 was awesome except for 309. ;) Maybe 307...
Hat tip to Dylan, who is on vacation and did not invite the rest of the DF-ers, for finding this. :)
