Do you have an undying craving for some Butterbeer, the delightful beverage from the world of Harry Potter, but can’t get yourself to the actual Wizarding World of Harry Potter to get yourself some? Well then, Muggles, why not make it yourself?!

A new YouTube channel called Feast of Fiction is here to help. Their goal: to create the popular foods and drink of geek culture and teach us how to make them at home. Brand new, this Butterbeer recipe is only their second video—the first being the Sunlight Souffle recipe some of you may have found within the pages of one of the many books of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Sure, a simple Google search leads to multiple places that will teach you ways to make Butterbeer, but this one happens to look particularly tasty.

Green Day‘s fourth album, Insomniac, was a darker affair than its predecessors but is considered by some as the album the Californian trio has never bettered. Right now you can download the brilliant Insomniac for $5 on Amazon.com.

Before they got all political and tried to stick it to “The Man,” Green Day wrote impossibly catchy punk rock. Songs like “Geek Stink Breath” and “Walking Contradiction” for a long time defined their sound and were hugely influential to the genre in the mid-90s.

Every month Amazon reduces the price of 100 MP3 albums to only $5. The deals run out at the end of the month, so if you want an MP3 copy of Insomniac at this price order before December 31, 2011,11:59 PST.

Back in October we first heard about a “Mass Effect-style” Game of Thrones RPG in the works that was based on author George R.R. Martin‘s A Song of Ice and Fire book series. Now the first two gameplay trailers for the game have been released, and it’s looking pretty promising!

The game has been made along with Martin, and will follow a storyline that weaves itself into the existing mythology. Mors Westfold, a member of the Night’s Watch on the Wall, and a Red Priest named Alester Sarwyck will act as the two original main characters of the game, but players will also encounter many of the popular (and not so popular) names and faces from the books and TV series as well.

You can check out the two trailers for the Game of Thrones RPG by continuing below.

Thanks to the holidays it’s a super-slow news week and I’m jetlagged after coming home on a red-eye flight this morning after a week of binge-eating in Arizona with my family and the cats are going crazy and the mail is piled up and whaaaaa… OMG, what is this heavy package that arrived from the offices of DC Comics?

It’s an advanced copy of The Annotated Sandman Volume One!!!
