Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 launches: are you onboard?

, Nov 7th 2011 Discuss [36]

The countdown has officially begun, and not the one leading up to the release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, but the one that marks the time before the entire world has access to the game so that they might play together online. Over in England at London's Old Billingsgate Market there's been a gigantic launch party with music, dancing, and running at high speed as the game was handed out to attendees - or there would have been if 574 Game and Gamestation stores across the country hadn't also released the game to queues of fans having waited for hours before launch. The world record lies on the line, the entertainment-industry record for most revenue generated in its opening five days having been set by the last Call of Duty game, Black Ops. Read The Full Story

Marvel Comics The Avengers first full-length trailer released [Video]

, Oct 11th 2011 Discuss [7]

After much buildup including FOUR feature-length individual movies for each of the heroes included in this supergroup of a movie, May 2012's Marvel Comics' The Avengers has its first real trailer. And before you comic book maniacs have a heart attack reminding the world that The Hulk is included in this movie aside those three heroes with the four movies mentioned in the first sentence, know here that not only is this the start of a different storyline for the big green goliath, there's ANOTHER new actor in Bruce Banner's role. Mark Ruffalo as Banner though should be the least of your excitement here, blasts of fire, the hoary hammer of the gods, red white and blue punches of fury and Black Sabbath throughout should sent your hair straight upwards.

, Aug 14th 2011 Discuss [4]

Before we begin speaking about how awesome it is that the Raspberry Pi Alpha version boards are ready for shipping, it would be remiss of us not to explain what Raspberry Pi is in the first place. The Raspberry Pi Foundation is a group which is preparing to release a single-board computer for right around $25 USD (aka approximately £ 15 GBP) meant to stimulate basic computer science in schools around the world. What's happening this weekend is that we're being treated to a video filmed by Eben Upton, Director of the Raspberry Pi Foundation, as he shows of the newly shipped alpha boards for this project.

Duke Nukem Forever Collectors Edition Revealed

, Feb 11th 2011 Discuss [0]

For those of you wishing there wouldn't have been a gigantic span of around 12 years between now and the last Duke Nukem title, here's a little present for your wait. This is the Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition that'll be coming out the same time as the standard edition comes out for the low low price of $99.99. It might seem a tad high for a game that's basically a shooter from the late 1990's, but can you really put a price on a bust of one of the most offensive video game characters of all time?

LEGO Announces Release of Blind-Boxed Minifigs Series 4

, Dec 8th 2010 Discuss [3]

Wow LEGO, you release sets fast! After releasing their first series of Minifigs just this past January, they're apparently getting ready to blast out series FOUR! Each of these lovely little people are packaged in a "blind-box" which is akin to baseball cards, or if you're too young to have collected baseball cards, Dunny designer toys. These single-figure boxes will more than likely run the regular $2 per pack, but you'll probably want to check prices at your local toyshop before you bring a fiver in expecting to get both the Frankenstein Monster and the Geisha.

, Dec 7th 2010 Discuss [0]

Those waiting at ground zero, Fry’s Electronics in Fountain Valley, found themselves in a rain drenched nightmare yesterday after waiting upwards of 82 hours in line.

These crazed maniacs weren't all disappointed, however, as they did indeed receive not only their copy of the game on time, but a signed Collectors edition - free! Signed by who, you ask? Why, Frank Pearce, co-founder of the Irvine-based game company Blizzard Entertainment and executive producer of World of Warcraft! Read The Full Story

KISS Coffin Re-Introduced via Eternal Image Inc

, Dec 3rd 2010 Discuss [0]

Those of you who follow the eternally epic saga that is KISStory, you might remember the most evil and excellent product they ever offered was almost certainly the Kiss Kasket. During the years 2001 through 2008, this product was sold as a real coffin (though the fact that it was waterproof often led to it being used as a Kiss Kooler for their Cold Gin.) One of the more famous people to be buried in one of these coffins was the tragically murdered Dimebag Darrell of Pantera [RIP.] Now, after a terrible two years of the world not being able to purchase this piece of devilry, Eternal Image Inc is teaming up with the band to offer a brand new one (plus some more deadly items as well.)

LGBL40 Coming To Europe In September and October Everywhere Else

, Sep 4th 2009 Discuss [3]

The LG BL40 has been something of a mystery, not so much in specs or even images, but more than anything else a mystery in of itself. The sheer aesthetics of the device make the average person cock their head to the side, and scratch the top of their skull in wonderment. Is that a phone? It sure is, and it just so happens to be a perfect phone for watching widescreen movies. Read The Full Story
