c2e2 – Dynamite Entertainment Panel

The big news from the panel was that Dynamite will be adapting another Kevin Smith script into a comic. The couldn’t confirm or deny it, but they did say that it was basically going to be the Bionic Man. Phil Hester will be working on it again and will basically be the reason that the book comes out on time. They also will be adapting Flash Gordon into a comic and will take everything that is good with the character and go from there and will be ignoring the movie and TV show. Also Dynamite acquired Chaos! Comics and they will be launching with Evil Ernie as their first series. The floor basically was opened to questions and the remainder of the article will be just that the questions. Will Vampirella be seen in her original costume? You will see Vampirella in her original costume by the end of issue 6. Love the pants. Several jokes about how Dynamite keeps the pants off.

30 Rock – Queen of Jordan

This week’s 30 Rock is a single extended inside joke; the entire 30 minutes is an episode of a show-within-a-show.  Viewers who’ve been watching all season know that Tracy’s wife has her own reality show, Queen of Jordan, and now it has completely devoured 30 Rock!  The directing, editing, music, bumpers, and even the opening titles have been replaced with the sort of production values and camera work that viewers would expect from a crappy reality show, and the entire 30 Rock cast & crew have taken this idea and charged ahead full steam with it.  Such commitment, combined with the meta premise makes this the best episode of the season so far.

Sports Movie Madness: Soccer (Football) Movies – Round 1

Hello
all, we continue with our sports movie season of March Movie Madness by
looking at the world’s most popular sport: soccer (or “football” as it
is known to most of the world).

Football
is the national sport of many countries in Europe, Latin America, Asia
and Africa. It’s easy to play, with a simple kick about, and the World
Cup is the world’s biggest sporting event. But unfortunately the sport’s
governing body, FIFA, is run by corrupt fools; somehow they think
Russia and Qatar are better World Cup hosts than England, Australia, the
United States and South Korea (as you can tell I‘m still a little
bitter). Because of the sport’s popularity to people of all ages and
instant appeal to footy fans, soccer films do have an international
appeal. They are inspiring stories about how victory was achieved to
stories looking at social issues.

Young Justice – Bereft

In the latest Young Justice episode, our teen heroes find themselves unable to remember anything since before the team was formed.  This gives many of the characters the chance to “Do over” their first impressions, while also providing the audience with some missing backstory.  It’s a clever idea for doling out some exposition, while offering interesting character interactions at the same time.

Trailer Tracker: Super 8, Conan and more

Our featured full-length trailer this week brings you alien-fueled mayhem from the highly anticipated Super 8. This is quality stuff we could only get from two of the most famed sci-fi auteurs, Steven Spielberg and J.J. Abrams. Sans Schwarzenegger, the remake of Conan the Barbarian moves forward with its premier teaser trailer and everyone’s favourite … The Smurfs get the big screen treatment in this Alvin and the Chipmunks­-esque animation/live action hybrid. Two of our finest thespians, Michael Sheen and Mario Bello play grieving parents following a tragic school shooting inBeautiful Boy and finally, as we all expected, Tyler Perry is back in drag in Madea’s Big Happy Family. Zip up that fat suit and pop on that wig, it’s Trailer Tracker.

Gameplay Footage for Arkham City Released

The first
gameplay footage for Batman: Arkham City is out and even though
it’s not giving away
everything that Rocksteady Studios has been working on for the past
couple of years,
it is certainly awesome. Plenty of new abilities are shown in the
trailer as
well as a lot of insight into who you’ll be running into along your
travels. This has definitely been long overdue for a while, but believe
me when I say the wait has been justified. No word on
what version the footage is from, but everything does look a little sharper
than the first game. I’m not going to spoil it all for you, though — go and watch
the trailer below and then get ready for some more Batman this October.

Hack/Slash #2 – Advanced Review

I’ve never actually read a Hack/Slash comic before this one that I am reviewing. After avidly researching as much as I could and reading blurbs on the back of trades, I found out this is basically about a psychopath who kills other psychopaths, to put it bluntly. I thought that was pretty cool and on top of that on the inside of the cover it reads, “…a must-read for fans of horror, quirky characters or just plain hot chicks killin’ stuff. Luckily, there’s never been a better time to jump on board than right now” by IGN. I just thought “sweet.” Cassie and her little team hunt down people known as slashers, which is typically what you would find in a slasher movie (really?). What is revealed at the beginning of this issue is that a slasher known as Acid Angel has come back after being killed, only to have learned that this is her second time being revived. Slashers always come back, right? Anyway, there is a conflict with both Cassie and her monstrous partner Vlad. At the same time a girl known as Cat Curio is in a forest that is filled with zombie animals. A man with a pumpkin face grabs her but Cat stabs him in the eye with a knife.

Designer Affinity: Markus Persson

It can’t be argued that one of the biggest things going on around the gaming world and the internet in general these days is Minecraft.
It’s a game that began as a side project by a Swedish Java developer,
but now has taken over the lives of almost 1.5 million gamers through
almost entirely word-of-mouth advertising. Minecraft has been
praised for the freedom it gives players and how it inspired hundreds of
YouTube videos showcasing the constructions of players around the
world. It’s definitely worth looking at the man behind this incredible
game.

Markus
‘Notch’ Persson began programming when he was 7 years old. He produced
his first text adventure game when he was 8 years old using his father’s
Commodore 128. Much later he worked professionally as a game developer
for King.com, developing web games using Flash. During this time, he
founded an MMORPG called Wurm Online with another designer by the name of Rolf Janneson.

27 #4 – Review

With just seconds left before his power switches, Will teleports back to rescue the last child being held hostage. As he does he finds the kid being interrogated by the hostage taker. Will distracts him and then teleports his hands into the guy’s head and rips his face apart. He grabs the last kid and teleports once more to the lab at UCLA. The Quantum math student is freaking out about all the kids and doesn’t know what to do with them. He tells the student to call the cops since that’s all they can do and begins saying goodbye to Mae; his niece that was one of the hostages and also the reason for his good deed.
