Rogue One Reignites the Rebellion

They’ve been teasing us for days with the prospect of a new trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and they finally made good on their promise during the Olympics last night…

Did you watch all the way to the end? Holy crap, man…I am just covered in goosebumps right now. I love that we’re all collectively excited and happy about Star Wars again.

Rogue One hits theaters on December 16th.

In a move that makes about as much sense as anything that’s happened so far in 2016, former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow has decided that he never really needed football anyway, and now he’s going to go be with someone who will appreciate him.

That someone is, apparently, baseball.

Your guess is as good as mine.

A lot of people talk about wanting a relationship that is based on the philosophy of “Ride or Die.” In other words, that you stick by each other no matter what, that you fight for each other, or else you’ll go down swinging together.

Well, if that’s the kind of relationship you’re looking for, you need to find yourself a woman like Marissa Christopher, a former Playboy model who planned a massive, $13 million prison break to spring her Czech crime lord boyfriend from the clink.

The best part? The plan involved an armed gang, a helicopter, and a weaponized treadmill. What a woman!

Everything You Need to Know from Comic-Con 2016

Another year, another Comic Con. but this year’s nerd extravaganza seemed like it had more news than usual. From the DC Films presentation, to the Marvel panel, to the Walking Dead trailer, and the list goes on, it’s difficult to keep up with everything we learned, heard, and saw.

Luckily for all of us, io9 had live coverage of the entire event and were also kind enough to compile every last shred of news into one giant post that covers all bases. So feel free to dig into the link below and check out all of the awesome!

All the News, Trailers, and Everything Else Comic-Con 2016 Had to Offer

Music You Can Use

On the new episode of our podcast, we let your ears in on some new bands, and an album you need to pick up.

First up, we had Temple Agents with their song “Divine Lightning” featuring Kevin Martin of Candlebox.


Temple of Agents live CD/DVD, Live Santiago de Chile is available now.

Next on the agenda was the band Unlocking the Truth, showing what they had to offer with the song “Take Control.” And what’s amazing about them is they’re just teenagers. Makes you feel bad about what little you’ve accomplished in life, doesn’t it?

Then, to round things out, we gave our thoughts on the much anticipated 8th studio album, The North Corridor. This is the lead single, “Joyride/Omen”.

Remember to listen to our 7/14/16 Episode to get a more in-depth look at what we think about each of these selections.

Nintendo Doubles Down on Nostalgia, Will Bring Back the NES

Nintendo is seriously cashing in on that nostalgia we all seem to be floating in these days. As if the recent revitalized obsession over Pokémon wasn’t enough, Nintendo has announced today that they will be bringing back the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in the form of a new, compact console that will come pre-loaded with 30 classic games and will run $59.99 in the US.

Some of the classic games contained in the mini unit include Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Galaga, Metroid, Pac-Man, Ice Climbers, Balloon Fight, Donkey Kong, and more. You’ll also be able to buy a functional recreation of the classic NES Controller for $9.99 as well.

While we’re all about nostalgia, I think I’ll pay for it with an allowance I’ll force my dad to give me for mowing his lawn.
