Lady Gaga. Mel Gibson. Charlie Sheen. Machete Kills. This cast is going to be out of its goddamn mind.

Despite all my hot-winded, rot-gutted bitching about Dead Space 3, I’m not going to pass on the title. I just can’t. Even a neutered installment in the franchise is better than nothing at all. At least to me. Here’s some new screenshots for the jam, screenshots that have my balls a bit tender.

Putting this Renly Baratheon cosplay behind a spoiler wall. It’s safe for work, but unsafe for those who haven’t seen season two.

Good glorious Jesus Christ, Google’s latest venture seems insane. Dubbed “Google Fiber”, it’s all sorts of lightning-quick internet and ridiculous TV options. I have a boner.

Goddamn, this trailer for Cloud Atlas stinks like hog ass. It has some gorgeous visuals, I’ll cop to that. The rest of it is a nightmare of awful dialogue, pedantic murmurings on love, and a pretty boring score. I’ll still see the joint. It’s got too much buzz around it not to dabble in its seeming bloat.

It’s fine. Give in. I won’t tell anyone. Really.

Captain America: Winter Soldier Rules co-director Anthony Russo recently opened up to The Huffington Post about the direction Cap’s sequel is going. He does a lot of dancing around the issues, but I don’t know what else you would expect. Movie is almost two years out, it is a bit early to begin going spoiler alerting.

There are many things that contributing to a video game being great.  The story, the mechanics, the graphics.  They all contribute to enhance our experience.  One of the things I love is a good boss fight.  They can vary from game to game too.  The boss fight is typically a culmination of the skills learned over the course of a level or if it’s the last boss, the game.  So here are the 5 boss fights that stand out in my mind as entertaining or memorable.

Welcome, welcome, welcome, to the funny book column at the end of the Internet. Or perhaps more specifically, at some abandoned asteroid-mining station spiraling into terminal descent. We here aboard the rickety ship don’t have much to comfort ourselves outside of the weekly comic book drop that comes courtesy of the spectra-gryphons sailing the solar waves. Drunk on cheap bathtub fermented moon juice and delusional from the vertigo, I admit my picks for worthwhile comic books can strike the bow a bit askew.

That’s where you come in, friends. Pull down the the blast shield long enough to bark out your finds in staccato bursts, before retiring to your dimly lit crevice in this here rotting rooster of a spaceship.

Don’t know what’s coming out? Pivot sharply and race down the cyber-wells towards the glowing info-cube. Comic List.

Although the numbers say otherwise!  Millions are still rompin’ around Azeroth, even if their numbers have dwindled.  Blizzard will pre-empt the busier holiday season with a September release of Mists of Pandaria  (the previous two expansions both launched later, in November and December).

The highlights of today’s news include a digital deluxe edition for the game (as opposed to just the big bulky retail deluxe box, that and I and fifty thousand other nerds will still be buying), and the usual promo tie-ins with other Blizzard properties, Diablo III and Starcraft 2.

Thanks to Spaceship OL, I’ve been playing the beta of Pandaria (never going to accept that tragic name), and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the all-round quality-of-life improvements to the UI and the game in general, as well as how the game engine and art design have held up and kept the game looking fresh after nearly eight years.
