To promote their Prohibition Era show Boardwalk Empire, HBO has brought some vintage trains back to select subway routes in NYC. If you’re in the Big Apple in the month of September and find yourself in need of a ride, try to check out the express 2/3 track in Manhattan from 12 to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. Laughing Squid writer Scott Beale just happened across one on the inaugural weekend and took the above video. Vintage features include rattan seats, ceiling fans (!) and drop sash windows. Pretty sweet.

If you’ve been following the HBO series Game of Thrones, you may be a bit unsettled to see how BlueBolt created that fantasy world through visual effects. I am impressed with the things they can do with green screen these days! May contain spoilers, but only the first season is on this video. -via Geeks Are Sexy
I don’t have time to watch one TV, much less several all at once! HBO Imagine is a new website that aims to tell a story through interconnecting short clips as opposed to the linear format of today’s TV show as well as different angles. And I mean that literally – you can change the camera angle of the clip and see "hidden" parts of the story. The more clips you watch, the more you unlock clips and clues.
It’s a new way of watching a show – kind of edgy, I suppose. Maybe too edgy for old fuddy duddy like me, and therefore perfect for today’s teens with short attention span, but very entertaining nonetheless: Link – Thanks Nathalie!
*Be sure to "spin" the first clip, titled The Affair, to see what’s hiding behind the door…
