Rumor: Is This ‘CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS 2’ Official Poster?

Is this the official poster for Black Ops 2? It would make sense.  It’s about that time of the year again when Activision pulls apart its slimy cheeks and begins to show the world the cresting head of the latest Call of Duty  iteration.

WIZARD Teams Up With ‘THE SITUATION’ For Comic And Convention Appearances. Ah, F**k You.

Piss on my childhood and call it a water sports party! My lord. I know that Wizard is having a rough go of it, but this smacks of tanning beds and serious  desperation. The company that once governed me through many a sweaty summer vacations with their articles and pricing guides are thudding at the floor of the well.

Video: ‘MINECRAFT MIDGAR’ Is Fan-Service Insanity.

Feeling a little bit old-person here when I admit this, but I’m not really certain what Minercraft is all about. Yeah, I’m sorry. I find it a bit confusing. I know it’s an indie wonder, and you like…build stuff. Or something. Even without a direct grasp on what’s going on (a common situation for me), I can still respect this. It’s Midgar from Final Fantasy VII  recreated in the game in staggering, staggering, staggering fucking detail.

Hit the jump to check it out.

The Dude’s High 5s: Top 5 Most Important Comic Adaptations

In celebration of me attending my first ever Comic Con this weekend, I figured I may as well tie my High 5 into the category of comics.   Problem is, I’m a comic lackey.   I’m not out there discovering new comics; I’m not hip to the indy artists or things that have buzz.   When it comes to comics, I do what I’m told.   Oh I have to read Preacher, ok.   Oh, Planetary is awesome?   Sure I’ll read it.   I have to read Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns, ok, I’ll buy them.   So then how do I connect my shitty poser comic geek self to the world of the REAL comic geeks?   Through movies of course!

What I have here are my top 5 important comic movies.   Don’t agree?   Then come and argue the point with me at Boston Comicon.   I’ll be at the 5 & Dime Table both days.

Pseudo PS4 Gets Built Based On RUMORED SPECS, Subsequent Results Worthless.

It must be fun to rock out at a gaming magazine. You can just do things to…do them. The crew at  Official PlayStation Magazine UK built a “PS4” based off of the rumored specs, ran a few games on it, and then dismissed the results as meaningless. Wait — what?
