The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Bomb Patrol Afghanistan is an American documentary television series that premiered in the United States on G4 in October 2011. The series follows members of a United States Navy EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) unit (Platoon 3-4-2) as they hunt for and dismantle explosives in Afghanistan. Bomb Patrol Afghanistan began the second half of its first season on March 27, 2012 consisting of deleted scenes, behind the scenes and best of specials. Josh Duhamel hosted a special "sit down" episode with four members of the original cast in the G4 studios. Duhamel refused to sit down during the special, and decided to stand for the whole taping out of respect for the lives lost during the 17 episode run. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
