Official ‘The Force Awakens’ Image: Kylo Ren with his broadsaber from ‘Empire’ magazine
A new, official image of Kylo Ren rocking what is (I guess) officially being termed a broadsaber. Or maybe Empire is getting liberal. I don’t know. Either way. After the jump. ‘Cause “spoilers” or something.

Vin Diesel says ‘xXx’ sequel filming in December. Most gnarly, bruh
Vin Diesel’s xXx is (sadly) the only movie I can think of where a guy outruns an avalanche by doing sweet stuff on a snowboard. It is an impressive addition to our collection of pop culture artifacts, and I can only imagine a sequel to a movie that brought us such a scene will also deliver.
Weekend Open Bar: It’s Fine To Be The Sidekick
I am no great leader of men. I am not good at planning, or issuing commands. For many that may be difficult to admit, but I find leaning into your strengths and acknowledging your weaknesses is the best route.

Not enough is said about the various incarnations of said Dwayne Johnson. The man of many (gorgeous) looks. Dwayne himself shared this gem back from when he was a beefy, fried chicken-eating football mad man. Salute.
Stealth game ‘Republique’ sneaking onto PlayStation 4 next year
GET IT?! SNEAKING? Haha! Fuck me! Anyways — I fucked with Republique a little bit back when it dropped on iOS, and it’s a pretty enjoyable game. Only downside? I’m an antiquated troglodyte who can’t get into games on an iPad or tablet or mobile device or whatever. So I’m definitely sweating this.
