Today’s “Under The Tents” has news from Assassin’s Creed IV, Bryan Cranston, Dan Harmon, a Legendary Entertainment SDCC swag giveaway, the possibility of streaming panels online, fake geeks, Nerdist, Stephen Hawking at The Big Bang Theory panel, FOX, WB TV, Vikings, Bates Motel, Godzilla and more.
Here’s the news you might have missed:
- If you were on the Jackdaw pirate ship docked behind the Convention Center during SDCC, you might have caught a glimpse of this video on board. If not, treat your eyes to the awesomeness of real-life Assassin’s Creed Parkour at San Diego Comic-Con:
There is also a making-of video, which quite frankly is just as interesting to see how they pulled this off. [via Destructoid]
- We don’t know what’s more impressive: Breaking Bad‘s Bryan Cranston hiding behind some Walter White cosplay on the Exhibit Floor, or that it got David Letterman to talk about San Diego Comic-Con. Either way, check out this video on how Cranston pulled it off. [via Zap2it]

We wonder how many of our readers actually had a close encounter with Cranston during SDCC and didn’t even know it?
- Did you see Dan Harmon’s Iron Man cosplay entrance at the Community panel? Well, now you can own a little bit of Comic-Con history. The costume Harmon wore is now up for auction on Ebay. Currently bids are above $500, and the auction ends August 4 at 4:56PM PT. [via Dan Harmon Sucks]
- Do you feel like you need a little more swag from Comic-Con? Legendary is giving away a pretty sweet prize pack, which includes a complete set of autographed post cards from its booth signings for Godzilla, Warcraft, 300: Rise of an Empire, Seventh Son and Shadow Walk; SDCC exclusive Pacific Rim t-shirts and more.
- A solution to the long panel lines? Entertainment Weekly caught up with CCI’s David Glanzer and asked him if streaming panels online might be an answer. Here’s his response:
“But streaming is something we’ve thought about,” he acknowledged. “One of the things we have to take into consideration, too, is how many people want streaming and how many people don’t. A lot of people come to Comic-Con because they want to be the very first people to see a movie, the first to see a preview, the first to be able to tweet or Facebook any news that comes out of there. I think when you start to make that streaming live, the uniqueness of those panels ends up being less so. But it’s something we’re looking at.”
- MTV unmasked the “fake geeks” of Comic-Con by putting some high-profile celebrity guests from some of the biggest panels of the convention to the test.
