Destiny 2 Trailer: "There Will be a Ton of Loot!"

Several days ago we tipped you off that a full trailer for Destiny 2 would arriving today. It's time to "Rally the Troops" and push the play button.

Things are about to get crazy.

Zavala and Cayde-6 are speaking to the Titans and Hunters respectively, each of them describing how the world as they know it has changed. And invasion has come. The tower has been destroyed and new legends will rise. Most importantly for gamers, according to Cayde-6: "There will be a ton of loot!"

How can you not appreciate that declaration?

Jenna Elfman Returns to Sitcom TV with IMAGINARY MARY

Imaginary Mary

JENNA ELFMAN returns to manic comedy in the new ABC comedy, IMAGINARY MARY.

Elfman portrays Alice, a single career woman whose life was put on its current track through the help of an imaginary friend she created when she was six, Mary (voiced by RACHEL DRATCH), to help her cope with her parents disastrous marriage and divorce. Mary helped Alice be independent, get into some trouble, and then disappeared when Alice "became a woman" (in just the way you're probably thinking I mean).

Trailer for Stephen King's It

Ever since they announced they were doing a new film version of IT, I have been real curious.  I loved the old mini-series, and the book remains one of my favorite Stephen King books, just behind THE STAND and DARK TOWER.  Warner Brothers posted a trailer this morning. 

I love that the trailer's opening is basically where the book begins, with Georgie meeting his death at the hands of Pennywise.  The trailer is suitably creepy, and I am definitely looking forward to seeing this on the big screen.  Check it out below.  IT will be in theaters on September 8.

Mr. Dave Will Have Kids, Parents "Feeling Good"

Mr Dave Feeling Good

You know, it’s a good time to be a kid because it’s a good time for children’s music.

It seems kiddo music has evolved into different styles of their own: there are bubbly kinds, country kinds, Jazzy kinds, and hip hop/urban kinds. And that is awesome because there are kiddos all over this country, in the city as well as in the suburbs and country, and they each have things particular to the way they live.

The latest album here from the Windy City’s own “Mr. Dave” Dave Hamilton, FEELING GOOD, is one such album that speaks to kids everywhere and includes those who are living in the city, doing this with a not so much nautical, but an island sound to it. That’s not to say every song has a watery beat to it. Nay-nay, this album, while only 10 songs long, communicates to kids everywhere with jazzy tunes, eclectic rock, and hip-hop tunes with a heavy bass tone, as well as songs with a surfer sound to them--and that’s what makes this album such fun.

Catching Up: The Flash Episode 318, "Abra Kadabra"

Flash 318 Abra Kadabra

Finally we get the introduction of a classic FLASH villain who's gonna reach out and grab ya. (Sorry, but I've been watching the whole episode with The Steve Miller Band song running through my head. If you don't know which one, hie thee to the Googles.)

DAVID DASTMALCHIAN (ANT-MAN, MACGYVER) plays the larcenous legerdemainiac from the future, Abra Kadabra, as the DC Universe gets a little broader with references to Stagg Industries and Kord Industries -- known for their prominence with DC superhero characters Metamorpho and Blue Beetle, respectively. But what does a guy from the future, with technology so advanced it is indistinguishable from magic -- and yes, Caitlin (DANIELLE PANABAKER) and Cisco (CARLOS VALDES) both acknowledge Arthur C. Clarke's law in the episode -- need with technology from the 21st century?

"Last Call": Official Trailer for Destiny 2 Coming Soon!

Information regarding the highly anticipated sequel to the popular game, DESTINY, has been slowly rolling out. Today we got a 'teaser' announcing the release date for the trailer to DESTINY 2!

Lately, trailers are becoming just as important as the actual thing, so the trend is to issue a 'teaser' to announce the trailer for something big approaching. While it was pitched as a teaser, this feels more like a cut scene in the game.

Cayde-6 (voiced by Nathan Fillion) is telling a story about an attack that he survived. It's revealed that his banter is reserved for an audience of one, a maintenance droid who happens to be sweeping up the remains of the bar that Cayde-6 is in. Panning out the place is falling apart all around him in flames.

A sign of things to come?

Marvel announced "Generations" series teaming old and new versions of their characters

From ABC News:

Last month, Marvel set the internet ablaze after sharing a tweet with just four simple words.

"GENERATIONS – coming Summer 2017," was posted on Feb. 16, along with a picture that led to far more questions than answers.

An Alex Ross art piece had the likes of Steve Rogers and Sam Wilson both sporting Captain America garb, Peter Parker and Miles Morales wearing Spider-Man gear, and Logan and X-23 in the classic Wolverine yellow and blue -- wait, what?! Wolverine died in 2014!

A Link To The Past: ZACH IS BACK!

Relieved By Game Jab

A long time ago back in Season One when Game Jab was once known as GameGasim, Zach took off on a daring journey under the name Squeegi. Sadly he lost all of his recorded adventure on the SNES so he took the time out to download A Link To The Past on the Wii U and create an exact copy of what he did last time and he's back baby!

The Search for Satoshi Nakamoto: Who is Bitcoin's Enigmatic Creator?

Brownian Bitcoin Pile

Very little is known about the bitcoin creator or creators, except for the name Satoshi Nakamoto. But no-one knows if this is a person or group name. This lack of information has sparked a lot of interest in the bitcoin origins and the personality or personalities behind this digitally encrypted currency. Some people believe the name is a pseudonym as it can be translated to “thinking clearly inside foundation”, which adds further to the mystery of who is Satoshi Nakamoto?

More Justice League Posters!

Yesterday, I was critical about the first poster I had seen for JUSTICE LEAGUE.  I always try to be fair.  Since they released that poster, they have started to release character focused covers.  So far, we have Batman, Aquaman, Flash, Wonder Woman, and Cyborg.  These posters are MUCH cooler than the strange JL logo poster. 

Now, here's a question...will we get a Superman poster?  Superman was killed at the end of BATMAN VS SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE.  We are all pretty sure he will be in JUSTICE LEAGUE, but what do you do for promotion?  Do you feature Superman, which would be a major spoiler.  Or do you leave Superman off, which could be taking away one of your biggest promotional tools?  I'm pretty curious how WB will come down on this.

Weekend Blast - Recap of the Week and Doctor Who: The Curse of Fatal Death

My Two-Bits: Doctor Who: The Curse of Fatal Death

We are about a month out from Doctor Who Season 10 (APRIL 15th)!  This season is the last season for star Peter Capaldi and showrunner Steven Moffat. But what some people may not know is that Moffat got his start with Doctor Who way back in 1999.  As part of Comic Relief, BBC had put together a very funny Doctor Who parody written by Moffat and starring Rowan Atkinson as the Doctor, Julia Sawalha as his companion, Jonathan Pryce (as the Master), and Richard E. Grant, Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, and Joanna Lumley as later incarnations of the Doctor.

We're Power Rangers?

Power Rangers
Growing up I was a closet POWER RANGERS fan. When the show originally debuted, it was not cool in any way shape or form to like the show, talk about the show, or admit that you watched the show. So I sat in the corner and watched over my younger sister's shoulder as she watched the awesome martial arts, cool armor, and massive Zords (the prehistoric themed vehicles) clash with Rita's army. And I rolled my eyes. Because if you were going to be in the same room as a TV airing POWER RANGERS, you must roll your eyes.
