MOUNTAIN DEW teaming up with Xbox One for “Most Obvious Gaming Promotion In Brand History.”

This is something.

Mountain Dew is teaming up with Microsoft for a huge push on cheesy products, caffeinated beverages, and the gaming console that is NSA’s data-culling wet dream. It’s a bit of an obvious extension of a collaboration that has been going on for a while now. But this one is going to be HUGE and ENORMOUS and CHEESY.

New ‘AGENTS OF SHIELD’ PROMO FEATURES THINGS.

Agents of SHIELD.

Hey, it’s a new promo for Agents of SHIELD. It’s really short. Doesn’t feature much. However, it’s pretty neat that this show exists. A couple of days ago I mentioned to my Dad that Coulson lived, and he’d be on the TV show. Goddamn blew his ass out. Couldn’t believe we were getting a TV show from the Avengers movie. It served as a reminder that the entire enterprise is pretty cool.

(THERE WAS) DRINKABLE WATER ON MARS according to Opportunity

Mars. Let's get the fuck there. Now.

Imagine sucking down a cold glass of Martian water? Well, we can do it. What’s needed for this task? Uh, well it’s a bit complicated. A time-travelling spaceship, stocked with a crew and such. Me? I’m just there to drink the water.

‘WATCH DOGS’ E3 TRAILER LEAKS EARLY. The NSA is all like YEAH WE GOT THAT.

Watch Dogs.

Watch Dogs is a pretty interesting game to be dropping at E3. You know, because this week the NSA was caught pants-down. “Ohhh yeah, we have sort of been collating all your data. Nice scat porn, Caff-Pow!” And then we all meekily contemplate how we live our digital lives. Anyways, here is the early trailer for Watch Dogs, a game I’ll be buying. Soon. For PS4.

What do you think of it?

NSA has PRETTY MUCH BEEN COLLECTING ALL OUR INFO. (NO) Surprise!

Obey! Big Brother!

I’m a beaten man when it comes to this sort of nonsense. Yesterday’s Megaton Bomb was the Megaton Bomb that anyone with a subtle sense of what is going on in this world already knew: the NSA pretty much collects everything about all of us. The only solution? Continue plummeting down the rabbit hole into furry-scat-vomit porn and fiction, attempting to at least shock them. Though I know with resignation that I am not a unique snowflake, and there are lots of Me out there.

KOJIMA IS F**KING TROLLING US, RIGHT? KIEFER SUTHERLAND is voicing SNAKE in ‘METAL GEAR SOLID 5.’

Kiefer Sutherland.

I have a hard time believing that Kiefer Sutherland is actually voicing Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5: Kojima Fucks With You. I mean, Kojima has pulled our collective undies over our head too many times for us to just believe this. Right? Right?! Do you?

Opinions Vary: When The Action-Packed Becomes Too Packaged

Pod Race Announcers.

Imagine, if you will, the following scenario: You’re sitting in a movie theater, enjoying a nicely constructed action sequence on screen. Everything is working and you know the stakes involved because you’ve been paying attention the whole time and the present action, to its credit, is coherent. However, just for good measure, punctuating the sequence, some guy next to you starts to narrate the events, giving a play by play of every punch thrown, every kick dropped, every daring move displayed. And, to top it all off, he’s even thoughtful enough to add some recaps and character motivations, just in case you’re confused about what’s going on or you missed something that happened earlier in the proceedings.

DC ALL ANNOUNCING some CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE digital comics. 1990++

CHOOSE YOUR OWN SHIT. YOU'RE THE FUCKING HERO.

I was that fucking asshole who used to read the choose your own adventure books in a linear fashion. I kept fucking dying! It was horse shit. Despite growing up (a smidge), I’m not sure I won’t do whatever approximates the same behavior with these new DC digital comics that replicate the experience.
