‘Doom 4’ Details: It’s just ‘Doom’, and it’s f**king brutal
The lucky pricks at QuakeCon have gotten to bask in the glory that was the Doom 4 reveal. And while none of us newbie-ass-scrub-fucks who didn’t attend can see it, it doesn’t mean some details haven’t proliferated. Into the main-guts of the internet.
Microsoft all like OR NAH about TV content. Closing XBOX Entertainment Studios
Microsoft’s foray into original entertainment didn’t really progress beyond the zygotic stage. (I don’t know if that’s accurate, I just wanted to say “zygotic stage.”) The company has announced they’re putting the fucking kibosh on Xbox Entertainment Studios. This announcement is part of Microsoft’s slimming down at the hands of the company’s new Czar.
Aiight: Oculus building its own VR motion controllers.
I am not a smart man. So I didn’t really know if anyone else was stupefied by how Oculus and other VR Overlords were going to go about controlling their virtual realms. As a champion of teledildonics and shit, I was picturing some sort of fetishistic, haptic-feedback body suit. But I suppose motion controllers are cool too. (I guess.)
‘True Detective’ Season 2 Plot Rumors: Murder In FictionalCali
None of these rumors are confirmed. I don’t find any of them particularly enormous. But none the less they shall be stuffed underneath under the break. Flock with me friends. Read the rumors. Time is a flat circle, but True Detective Season 2 anticipation can be a circle jerk. That ain’t clever, but hey I’m working with a limited capacity.
‘Episode VII’ News: Christina Chong has been cast in the galaxy far, far away
All-diversity-everything these days on the Episode VII set. News has Christina Chong (who/whom/whatever/ I’m not familiar with) joining the cast in an unspecified role. Which pretty much describes the role of every single member of the cast outside of the OT-OG folks returning.
Deborah Ann Woll (Jessica From ‘True Blood’) joins ‘DAREDEVIL’
Glory, glory, glory in the Highest! Deborah Ann Woll is getting into the motherfuckin’ Daredevil game. Playing none other than Karen Page, the Man Without Fear’s love interest. As someone who has been *cough* a bit obsessed with the red headed actress, I can confirm that this excites every part of me.
FALCON becoming CAPTAIN AMERICA in ‘ALL-NEW CAPTAIN AMERICA’
Ohhh man. You can hear the fanboys pulling their pubes out in hatred. Gnashing their teeth, particles of enamel and specks of drool hitting their keyboard as they type in hate. A female Thor? And now a black Captain America? Gracious.
OMEGA-LINKS: We’ve Got (Brian) Wood for Net Neutrality, and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’
I’ve been fucking BUSY lately. This means several things. First, I’m eating three sandwiches at 4 a.m. while weeping into my Fleshlight. Second, I’m not reading or playing nearly as much as I want to. And third, I have a fucking STACK of articles I haven’t been able to share with you fucks. So color this a Space-Ship Colonic. ‘Cause I’m flushing them links out in one post. We got everything from Brian Wood, to Guardians of the Galaxy, to Netflix slap-fighting with the FCC.

Warren Ellis + Mike Allred = …Bacardi graphic novel?
Warren Ellis and Mike Allred are teaming up for a Bacardi graphic novel. Which is something you definitely don’t see coming. Though to be truthful, it is probably folly to plot Warren Ellis’ moves. And I suppose Mike Allred’s too.
Buy These Flippin’ Comics!!! (7.16.14) Dismantling the Boys Club
Wow, what a week for comics, huh ladies and germs? A Batgirl redesign, an all-new Thor, both garnering worldwide press in the mainstream. Can you feel it in the air? The crackle, the hum, the whiff of ozone…change is coming. There may come a day when news like a female Thor won’t attract that kind of attention, or the fact that an actual DC character is smiling in a comic won’t be seen as an oddity, but we’re not there yet. However, I get the sense that comics are at a turning point, that we really are at the dawn of something new, something great, and fortunately, to prove my point there are a slew of great titles dropping this week to back up the claim. So lace up those canary-yellow Tims, grab Mjolnir (or any hammer, should Thor’s weapon deem you unworthy), hit the jump, and let’s go smash some glass ceilings, shall we?
