PAX Prime 2012 may be two weeks behind us, but Hideo Kojima’s announcement of Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is still stuck on my mind. This new entry into the Metal Gear Solid franchise is vastly different from anything we’ve seen thus far and looks to open up the world, literally, in ways we never thought the series would go. After the jump check out an incredible demo moderated by industry veteran Geoff Keighley. Continue reading
Personally, one of my favorite musicians, Andrew McMahon (frontman of Something Corporate), has announced the end of Jack’s Mannequin. As this may rock the foundations of pop punk culture as we know it, the piano rock group will not go without a fond farewell to their fans. The Third Annual Dear Jack Benefit will be hosted at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles with one unannounced show to follow due to fast selling pre-sale tickets. Continue reading
The day of seeing cat videos on television on a daily basis are about to end. Today it was announced that NBC Universal, owners of G4, would be rebranding the network from geek to chic. This new rebranding effort looks to position the station with an emphasis of a more upscale gentleman’s channel – with content and a feel that you would find in GQ. What began in April of 2002, as a gaming channel, evolved into one of the leading aggregates of geek pop culture, technology, gaming, and memes on the boob tube and the Internets. It is a sad day for nerd culture my friends. Continue reading
And here we thought Peter Jackson was just pulling a fast one on us back at Comic-Con 2012. Nope! It has been confirmed that The Hobbit will be transformed into a trilogy instead of a two-part film. Apparently, Mr. Jackson was able to film so much additional footage that Warner Bros. just couldn’t say no – and who could blame them? This franchise will clean up the box office just like the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Read on to see what they retitled the second film and when you can expect There and Back Again to be released.

One of the most epic, fantasy films is coming to home video in one complete, massive blu-ray box set this Friday. I’m talking about Harry Potter of course! The Complete Harry Potter Wizard’s Collection Blu-Ray Box Set comes complete with with 31-discs and over 37 hours of special features jam packed for your viewing pleasure.

Hideo Kojima himself made an appearance during PAX to celebrate this momentous occasion.

It is many a tragedy to hear of any one at a young age like Michael Clarke Duncan to pass away at 54, but although his passing is terribly depressing, we must remember him for all of the incredible work he has done. Most notably known for his works in The Green Mile and Armageddon, Michael Clarke Duncan was that lovable, hulking black man that captivated audiences through his immensely strong on-screen presence (there is no other actor who could replace him). Today we lost a great, kind-hearted actor who will forever be missed. He had endless potential and a great range of work that will carry on forever. More on the story after the break.

Dish Network subscribers who love AMC, I feel your pain. Losing your favorite station can be tough, I know, I was distraught when DirecTV dropped G4. If I were to lose AMC, I would probably switch my current cable subscriber immediately. No longer are you able to watch Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, and Mad Men. Where will you go to for classic movie marathons like “Mob Week” or “Fearfest”? This current war AMC is waging against Dish is not unwarranted, but will their messages be heard in time for the fall release of The Walking Dead? Continue reading
Never in my life would I believe my eyes when I found out that Jason Biggs, the one we all know as the pie molester from American Pie, would be the voice of the leader of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Back in my hey day, TMNT was my go to cartoon, next to The Real Ghostbuters, Transformers, and of course 90s Nickelodeon. Revitalizing the franchise for the umpteenth time, the turtles are back in an all new CG-animated series on Nickelodeon. Continue reading
The first time I heard about American Horror Story, I was more excited about the development of this project than Leatherface creating a new mask. When the series debuted on FX last year I had hope, but as the show progressed that hope turned to doubt, confusion, anger, and finally at the end, mediocre content.
After American Horror Story was approved for more seasons I found myself in a furious uproar, especially if we were to continue with the bi-polar, unrelatable Harmon family. Eventually announced as a mini-series, meaning we would see a different story each season, I was please to hear we would get a fresh new start. This new beginning takes us into the deepest parts of a 1960’s insane asylum. Continue reading
