We’ve seen enough in the first couple of episodes to work out a few things that happen regularly enough to be the basis of our Boardwalk Empire drinking game. We’ll give it a test run soon and report back with the findings – watch this space for a slightly tipsy update....
Here are the (slightly loose) rules:

Everyone should have a full glass/bottle/can/whatever at the opening credits, taking a drink whenever one of the following is spotted:

• Money being handed over in an envelope
• Boobs
• A verbal threat (veiled or direct)

There's only a day to go before the premiere of Boardwalk Empire on HBO and the hype and excitement is reaching fever pitch. Online it's the only show anyone is writing about, we're seeing real-time results on Google and Bing and the Twitter & Facebook conversations are now impossible to keep up with. Expect to see that mania peak now and every week until the finale in 3 months time.

HBO has announced the date for the US premiere of Boardwalk Empire. The series, which is based on the book "Boardwalk Empire, The Birth, High Times and Corruption of Atlantic City" and has been in part directed by Martin Scorcese is due to air for the first time on Sunday, September the 9th at 9pm.

I found a few Broadwalk Empire wallpapers at a site called Darkside. There are 5 different wallpapers, all good quality images from the series. You can find them here.

Please get in touch if you have found any good Boardwalk stuff online...

HBO has changed the background music to the second trailer. We've not been able to identify the new track which has an altogether more sinister sound to it. The actual video has remained the same as before.
