‘Saints Row’ creative director peacing out for Valve
Saints Row is losing its creative director. Irreverent, offensive, Smartest Dumb Game In The Room. Saints Row is like me in video game form. And I imagine a lot of the game’s vibe is due to Jaros, the aforementioned director.

Monday Morning Commute: Repossess Your Mind
Monday! Monday! Monday! Here in the Armpit of the Internet. The Space-Ship Omega. Air recyclers busted. Stuck in a orbit around Io, praying for the tug-ship to come in with replacement thrusters. Ain’t got nothing to do but fuck one another, wax poetic about existence, and drink whatever stock of cheap synthetic whiskey we can find. Empty your pockets and pull down your trousers, we’re going to make the best of it.
Oh. Oh Yeah. And in case you didn’t know, this is MondayMorningCommute, the column where we share what we’re up to this week.
No Sh*t Rumor: Obi-Wan getting standalone ‘Star Wars’ flick
In what is apparently a *rumor*, but what strikes me as *no fucking shit*, there’s murmurings that Obi-Wan is getting his own standalone movie. Like, this is obvious, right?
Cosplay: Batman finds love with a Supergirl
Batman needs to cheer up. Some would say he needs *therapy* (cough go to our store, buy things, cough). So god bless this cosplay, which has him finding a momentary respite with Supergirl.
Oculus Rift consumer version arriving by summer 2015
The Virtual Reality Distracticaust which promises to finally fully sublimate thinking in the name of all-consuming virtual distraction is coming, folks! I suppose you can tell my anxieties regarding the Oculus Rift, whose consumer version is due to arrive by next summer.
DC Comics ‘Teen Titans’ TV series may hit TNT
I think Teen Titans is probably the DC franchise I know the least about. Outside of that Adam Warren jam from a few years ago. So I’m pretty agnostic about the news that DC may be bringing the franchise to TNT. At the very least it’ll apparently start my Batman, Dick Grayson.

‘Episode VII’ adds Jar Jar Abrams pal Greg Grunberg
I don’t know why, but I’m just going to call him Jar Jar Abrams until he proves himself otherwise. Do I think he will? YES. Is that going to get in the way of me calling him such until the first trailer comes out and BLOWS OFF MY TITS? NO. Said Jar Jar has added one of his total BFFs to the cast of Episode VII.
‘Grand Theft Auto 5’ hitting XB1 & PS4 on Nov 18. PC, uh, next year
Grand Theft Auto 5 is one of the releases I’m anticipating most this Fall for Gen8 consoles. Such is the state of the console generation at this point. Remasters and third-party titles not exclusive to this generation. But let me stop myself, lest I complain too much. Because I am very excited for this title, which I never got to play last year.

James Franco bringing Palahniuk’s ‘Rant’ to the movie screen
Palahniuk’s Rant is frankly — fucking brilliant. And frankly, and I am loathe to use this term usually — seemingly unfilmmable. So while part of me is excited another book by My Favorite is making it to the big screen, the rest of me is a high-pitched, piano wire screech of barely audible anxiety.
Weekend Open Bar: upon the shores
Hello, friends. And welcome to Weekend Open Bar. The column that sits us around the poisoned watering hole at the End of the Pop Culture Universe. It’s a little gathering we do every week. Where share how we’re celebrating the End of the (Theoretical) Work Week. Certainly many still work, but for others like myself there is the illusion of reprieve.
