Briefly: Following the in-motion looks at Foggy Nelson and Karen Page, Netflix has just debuted new motion artwork depicting a menacing Frank Castle (holding Daredevil’s mask to boot).

Just when Matt thinks he is bringing order back to the city, new forces are rising in Hell’s Kitchen. Now the Man Without Fear must take on a new adversary in Frank Castle and face an old flame – Elektra Natchios.

Bigger problems emerge when Frank Castle, a man looking for vengeance, is reborn as The Punisher, a man who takes justice into his own hands in Matt’s neighborhood. Meanwhile, Matt must balance his duty to his community as a lawyer and his dangerous life as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, facing a life-altering choice that forces him to truly understand what it means to be a hero.

Take a look at the new teaser below, keep watching that recently-released full trailer on repeat, and be sure to let us know if you’re as excited as we are! Daredevil‘s second season hits Netflix on March 18th!

Marvel Reveals First Synopsis For Mockingbird & Lance Hunter Spinoff ‘Most Wanted’!

Briefly: We’ve been eagerly awaiting any news about Marvel and ABC’s upcoming Mockingbird and Lance Hunter spinoff, Most Wanted for what feels like forever now (actually, since the series was confirmed back in August), and while we still don’t know a lot about what we can expect when the series premieres (probably) later in 2016, the very first synopsis has just been revealed.

Marvel’s Most Wanted “Centers on Bobbi Morse (a.k.a. Mockingbird) and Lance Hunter of “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., two ex-spies and ex-spouses who are on the run with no friends, no S.H.I.E.L.D. and a long list of enemies looking to claim a bounty on their heads. Able to trust no one but each other, Bobbi and Hunter form an uneasy alliance with Dominic Fortune, a rogue adventurer with a wealth of resources and even more adversaries, who agrees to protect them so long as they help him with his own agenda. These two heroes will help anyone in need, all while trying to uncover the conspiracy that put their own lives in jeopardy.”

Yep. As expected, this one sounds just as fun as Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Marvel’s Agent Carter have been thus far.

Are you looking forward to the series? How do you feel about Adrianne Palicki as Mockingbird? Be sure to sound out in the comments below!

Take Your First Look At Crossbones In New ‘Captain America: Civil War’ Images!

Briefly: We couldn’t be more excited for Captain America’s next adventure (well, along with most of the Avengers and a slew of new characters as well), and following that gorgeous Super Bowl spot from just a couple of weeks back, Empire has just debuted a few slick new images from the film, including our first look at Frank Grillo’s Crossbones.

Marvel’s “Captain America: Civil War” finds Steve Rogers leading the newly formed team of Avengers in their continued efforts to safeguard humanity. But after another incident involving the Avengers results in collateral damage, political pressure mounts to install a system of accountability, headed by a governing body to oversee and direct the team. The new status quo fractures the Avengers, resulting in two camps—one led by Steve Rogers and his desire for the Avengers to remain free to defend humanity without government interference, and the other following Tony Stark’s surprising decision to support government oversight and accountability.

Take a look at the images (including a new look a Scarlet Witch, and an incredible Empire cover) below, and let us know what you think! Captain America: Civil War hits theatres on May 6th!

Watch The Launch Trailer For ‘The Walking Dead: Michonne’s First Episode!

Last week, they showed off the game’s stunning opening 6 minutes.

Briefly: It’s almost here!

After being teased for what seems like forever, earlier this month Telltale finally let us know when we’d be able to get our hands on the first episode of The Walking Dead: Michonne mini-series.

Michonne will debut on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and Xbox One on tomorrow, with a release on iOS and Android devices on February 25th, so today the developer debuted the bad-ass launch trailer for this first episode.

The debut episode is called ‘In Too Deep’, and in it, “Michonne joins Pete and his crew on the sailing ship The Companion as they cruise the coast for survivors and supplies. When a desperate signal for help draws them to a scene of horrific massacre, Michonne and the crew are lead further to the floating survivors’ colony of Monroe, which may just be harboring the person responsible for the carnage.”

Take a look at the launch trailer below, and let us know just how excited you are to play!

by Derek KraneveldtFebruary 19, 2016

Briefly: Yeah, these two new teasers don’t really show us much of anything (and aren’t even real footage), but we’re so excited for Daredevil’s upcoming second season that we simply had to share.

Take a look at the new teasers below, and be sure to let us know if you’re as excited as we are!

The First PS4 Patch For ‘Firewatch’ Offers A Huge Performance Boost!

by Derek KraneveldtFebruary 19, 2016

Briefly: This is one piece of news that I’m absolutely ecstatic to learn about.

If you’re a regular around these parts (or listen to the Geekscape Games podcast), you’ll already know full well just how much we loved Campo Santo’s Firewatch, which hit Windows, OS X, Linux, and PS4 just a couple of weeks ago.

In my review, the main issue that I had with the title (aside from wishing that it were just a bit longer) were the constant performance problems that I experienced during my time with the PS4 version of the game. Frequent frame-rate drops, and even one full console lock-up had me noting that “I’m not talking about a lost frame here and a blip there, either; it seemed more like the title was struggling to run on this hardware at all.”

I also ushered hope that these issues could be resolved with a post-launch patch to the title, and that’s exactly what Campo Santo has done, as they announced yesterday on their official blog. The patch is live on PSN right now, and here’s what it features:

-Draw distance and shadow render distance have been improved, which should remove significant texture popping.

-Streaming loading and unloading has been significantly adjusted with extra safeties so you should no longer see loading happen right in front of you.

-We got Unity to fix a very rare hang that could occur when loading and unloading scenes.

-Many instances of unstable framerate have been improved.

-Auto-saves are now far less frequent, as they were causing the worst framerate hitches we have been seeing.

-Several places where people were escaping the world or getting stuck in collision have been refined. Also, if you are stuck in an endlessly falling state, the game will attempt to put you back, either through loading the last save or respawning Henry aboveground.

-Various cases where you were able to interrupt or break your current quest have been safeguarded.

These all sound like major improvements to the title, and I’m very excited that new players will be able to jump in and experience this great title in a much smoother fashion.

Campo Santo also notes that they’re not done supporting Firewatch yet, either, noting that they’re “currently working with Unity on further improving the game by upgrading to an upcoming version of their engine. We’re also planning to add subtitles for other languages to the PS4 version.”

You can read our review of the game here, and once you’ve played it, be sure to listed to Geekscape Games’ spoiler-filled discussion of Firewatch right here. Already play the game? Be sure to let us know what you thought of the title!

Geekscape Mobile: Celebrate Rayman’s 20th Anniversary With ‘Rayman Classic’!

by Derek KraneveldtFebruary 18, 2016

Briefly: It’s been a long time, Rayman.

No, not since I’ve played a Rayman game, as there are plenty of recent titles in the series that are worth checking out.

Ubisoft is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the character, however, which just made me realize that Rayman debuted when I was just five years old.

Moments ago, Ubisoft debuted Rayman Classic on the iOS App Store (no word of an Android version just yet), noting that you can now embark on epic adventures with Rayman in one of the most influent platform game of all times and relive the experience of playing the original version of the 1995 hit’.

The title costs a cool $4.99 on the Canadian App Store, is a universal purchase including both iPad and iPhone versions of the game, and even (thankfully) includes full gamepad support. I only hope that it’s updated in the future to include an Apple TV binary as well!

Forget what a platformer this old is all about? In Rayman Classic, you’ll:

-EMBODY Rayman, your favorite hero born in 1995
-REDISCOVER the fantasy cartoon worlds of the original game: The Dream Forest, The Band Lands, The Blue Mountains, The Candy Castle…
-RUN, dodge, jump, punch your way through the various levels of this classic platform game.
-UNLEASH Rayman’s special powers from the telescopic fist to the helicopter and defeat hostile creatures.
-SEEK OUT & FREE the Electoons to complete each level and restore the cosmic balance.
-HELP iconic and funny side characters in each world: The fairy Betilla, Tarayzan, Joe the extraterrestrial.
-DEFEAT each and every boss (Moskito, Mister Sax, Mr Dark…) in epic showdowns to free your friends.
-BEAT the Hardcore mode with one single life or choose the Casual mode for infinite tries.

Take a look at the Rayman Classic trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be picking it up!

Watch The First Trailer For ‘Amityville: The Awakening’!

by Derek KraneveldtFebruary 17, 2016

Briefly: While I feel like this first trailer shows off just a bit too much, I’m actually surprised at just how creepy and intense the upcoming Amityville: The Awakening appears to be.

In the film, Belle and her family move into a new house, but when strange phenomena begin to occur in the house, Belle begins to suspect her Mother isn’t telling her everything and soon realizes they just moved into the infamous Amityville house.

I mean, you can’t really get more of a generic synopsis than that, but the just-released trailer itself actually features more disturbing moments than most horror trailers in recent memory.

This (somehow) marks the 13th entry in the Amityville franchise, and I’m hoping that the modern-day spin on this decades-old series can make the film feel far more fresh than that synopsis reads.

In any case, you can take a look at the creepy trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think! Amityville: The Awakening hits theatres on April 1st!

‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out Of The Shadows’ Gets A Batch Of Slick Character Posters!

by Derek KraneveldtFebruary 17, 2016

Briefly: Following the awesome look at the film from the Super Bowl earlier this month (which gave us our fantastic first look at Krang and more), Paramount Pictures has just debuted four slick character posters for this Summer’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.

Naturally, each of the four brother’s gets a dedicated poster, and while we’d have loved to see one for Arrow star Stephen Amell’s Casey Jones as well, these images are actually pretty damned cool.

Take a look at the four images below, and be sure to let us know if you’re looking forward to the film! We’re also interested in hearing what you thought of that controversial first film!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows hits theatres on June 3rd!

Kurt Russel Joins ‘Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2’, First Image Released!

by Derek KraneveldtFebruary 17, 2016

Briefly: Guardians of the Galaxy is still my favourite Marvel Studios film, and as such I could not be more excited to start seeing stills and footage from the now-in-production feature.

Marvel has just revealed that the film is officially in production, revealed the first behind-the-scenes photo for the film, and confirmed the film’s returning cast, and a big new addition: Kurt Russell.

What’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 about? Well, we don’t exactly know yet, but Marvel notes “Set to the all-new sonic backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” continues the team’s adventures as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill’s true parentage.”

We’re in. That’s all the synopsis that we need.

Take a look at the image below, and keep scrolling for the full announcement from Marvel. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 hits theatres on May 5th, 2017!

Marvel Studios has begun principal photography at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta, Georgia, on Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2,” which is slated to hit U.S. theaters on May 5, 2017. The production will shoot at Atlanta’s Pinewood Studios.

PRODUCTION BEGINS ON MARVEL’S ‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL. 2’

The film marks the return of the original Guardians, including Chris Pratt (“Jurassic World,” “Guardians of the Galaxy”) as Peter Quill/Star-Lord; Zoe Saldana (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Star Trek Into Darkness”) as Gamora; Dave Bautista (“Spectre,” “Guardians of the Galaxy”) as Drax; Vin Diesel (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Furious 7”) as the voice of Groot; Bradley Cooper (“Joy,” “American Sniper”) as the voice of Rocket; Michael Rooker (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Jumper”) as Yondu; Karen Gillan (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “The Big Short”) as Nebula; and Sean Gunn (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Gilmore Girls”) as Kraglin.

Set to the all-new sonic backdrop of Awesome Mixtape #2, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” continues the team’s adventures as they unravel the mystery of Peter Quill’s true parentage.

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” is produced by Marvel Studios’ president, Kevin Feige, with Louis D’Esposito, Victoria Alonso, Jonathan Schwartz, Nik Korda and Stan Lee serving as executive producers.

Director James Gunn’s creative team also includes director of photography Henry Braham (“The Legend of Tarzan,” “The Golden Compass”); production designer Scott Chambliss (“Star Trek,” “Tomorrowland”); editors Fred Raskin (“The Hateful Eight,” “Guardians of the Galaxy”) and Craig Wood (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End”); three time Oscar®-nominated costume designer Judianna Makovsky (“Captain America: Civil War,” “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone”); Oscar®-nominated visual effects supervisor Chris Townsend (“Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Iron Man 3”); stunt coordinator Tommy Harper (“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” ); co-producer / first assistant director Lars Winther (“Captain America: Civil War,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier”); and six-time Oscar® nominee, special effects supervisor Dan Sudick (“Captain America: Civil War,” “The Avengers”).

The original “Guardians of the Galaxy” was a hit with critics and audiences alike, earning over $770 million at the worldwide box-office, and holds the record as the most successful debut film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In addition, the film’s soundtrack went platinum and was nominated for a Grammy®.

Based on the Marvel comic characters first published in 1969, “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 ” continues the lineage of epic big-screen adventures chronicled in “Iron Man,” “The Incredible Hulk,” “Iron Man 2,” “Thor,” “Captain America: The First Avenger,” “The Avengers,” “Iron Man 3,” “Thor: The Dark World,” “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” “Guardians of the Galaxy,” “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” “Ant-Man,” and the upcoming release schedule, which includes “Captain America: Civil War” on May 6, 2016; “Doctor Strange,” November 4, 2016; “Spider-Man,” July 7, 2017; and “Thor: Ragnarok” on November 3, 2017.

Marvel Studios continued its unprecedented success in 2015 with the release of “Avengers: Age of Ultron.” At the time of release, the film recorded the second biggest opening weekend of all time with a $191.3 million box office. It has also been the #1 release in every country where it has opened and has grossed over $1.4 billion in global box office. The studio also successfully launched another franchise with “Ant-Man,” starring Paul Rudd, Michael Douglas and Evangeline Lilly. The film opened #1 at the box office on July 17 and went on to gross more than $519 million at the worldwide box office. The film propelled the Marvel brands’ #1 domestic box-office opening streak to a record-breaking 12 consecutive films.

The Latest ‘Bates Motel’ Teaser Shows Off An Insane Norman Bates!

Briefly: Following the fantastic first teaser and key art from late last month, A&E has just debuted another creepy teaser for Bates Motel‘s upcoming season.

This season, Norma becomes increasingly fearful and desperate, going to great lengths to find Norman the professional help he needs. This further complicates their once unbreakable trust while Norman struggles to maintain his grip on reality. Sheriff Romero (Nestor Carbonell) once again finds himself drawn back into Norma and Norman’s lives. Will things finally heat up between Norma and the other man in her life, Sheriff Romero, and just how much further will he go to protect her?

The series returns on March 7th, and I couldn’t be more excited. Take a look at the new teaser below, and let us know what you think!

‘The Wolverine’ Sequel To Be Rated R? First Logo Revealed!

Briefly: Please be true.

This past weekend at the New York Toy Fair, Fox handed out a pamphlet to attendees noting all of their upcoming theatrical and home video releases.

Being just a year away at this point, the highly anticipated sequel to 2013’s The Wolverine made the pamphlet, giving us our very first logo for the feature, as well as noting a ‘Targeted Rating’ of R.

This comes at a time when the R-rated Deadpool shattered (and continues to shatter) financial expectations, breaking box office records, and this draw is likely to continue with the fantastic word of mouth that everyone has been giving the feature.

Based on that, if there was ever an appropriate time for a more mature Wolverine film, that time is now, and we can only hope that this wasn’t a misprint. That said, is it a safe move to take a PG/PG-13 character that people of all ages have been watching for years, and give him a more mature angle? I could anticipate a lot of angry parents ignorine ratings and walking out of theatres with their young ones.

Take a look at the image below, and be sure to let us know what you hope to see in the next The Wolverine! The film hits theatres on March 3rd, 2017!

Bethesda Details The First Set Of ‘Fallout 4’ DLC!

Briefly: I’m not nearly as far into Fallout 4 as I’d wanted to be at this point (being an adult stinks), and I’m not even close to being ready to play any DLC for the beloved title.

Bethesda has just announced the very first details for some of the game’s upcoming DLC on its official blog, and after reading what we’re in store for, I need to make my time in Boston more of a priority.

The company notes that fans have made Fallout 4 their ‘most successful title ever’ before going on to detail the game’s first set of add-ons: Automatron, Wasteland Workshop and Far Harbor.

First up is Automatron, which is slated to release this March:

The mysterious Mechanist has unleashed a horde of evil robots into the Commonwealth, including the devious Robobrain. Hunt them down and harvest their parts to build and mod your own custom robot companions. Choose from hundreds of mods; mixing limbs, armor, abilities, and weapons like the all-new lightning chain gun. Even customize their paint schemes and choose their voices!

Automatron will cost a cool $9.99US.

April will see the release of the Wasteland Workshop, and it sounds freaking addicting already:

With the Wasteland Workshop, design and set cages to capture live creatures – from raiders to Deathclaws! Tame them or have them face off in battle, even against your fellow settlers. The Wasteland Workshop also includes a suite of new design options for your settlements like nixie tube lighting, letter kits, taxidermy and more!

Wasteland Workshop will cost just $4.99 US.

Finally, May will see the release of a big one: Far Harbor.

A new case from Valentine’s Detective Agency leads you on a search for a young woman and a secret colony of synths. Travel off the coast of Maine to the mysterious island of Far Harbor, where higher levels of radiation have created a more feral world. Navigate through the growing conflict between the synths, the Children of Atom, and the local townspeople. Will you work towards bringing peace to Far Harbor, and at what cost? Far Harbor features the largest landmass for an add-on that we’ve ever created, filled with new faction quests, settlements, lethal creatures and dungeons. Become more powerful with new, higher-level armor and weapons. The choices are all yours.

Far Harbor will net you $24.99 US.

These look gorgeous right down to that amazing cover art.

Planning on picking up any of this DLC? You’ll probably want to pick up the Season Pass ASAP, as Bethesda has expanded DLC plans for the title, and will be raising the pricing off the pass from $30 to $50US on March 1st. Here are the official details:

And more important, that this is only the beginning. We have plans for more. More than $60 worth of new Fallout adventures and features throughout 2016.

Given the expanded DLC plan, the price of the season pass will increase from the current $29.99 to $49.99 USD (£24.99 to £39.99 GBP; $49.95 to $79.95 AUD) on March 1, 2016. However, if you already purchased the season pass for $29.99, nothing changes – you still get everything at no additional cost— the full $60 offering of add-on content for the original price of $29.99. In addition, if you didn’t buy the season pass yet, there is still time: anyone who buys the Season Pass for $29.99 before March 1st will get all $60 worth of content. This is our way of saying thanks to all our loyal fans who have believed in us and supported us over the years.

That leaves you two weeks to get the Season Pass at the current rate.

Which DLC are you most excited for? What has been your favourite part of the Wasteland thus far? Be sure to sound out below!

Here’s The First Teaser For Shane Black’s ‘Predator’ Film!

Briefly: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was actually pretty cool, but I have a hard time thinking about anything other than Iron Man 3 when I think of director Shane Black.

Somehow, I was unaware that Black had been tapped to direct the next Predator film, and while I’ll definitely reserve judgement until I see the feature, I just hope that it doesn’t feel like a weird, crappy buddy cop comedy (or like any sort of comedy, really).

The very first teaser image for the sequel has just hit the web, noting a probably title of The Predator (having just one Predator again would be freaking awesome), and that ‘You’ll never see him coming’. The script is coming from RoboCop 3 writer Fred Dekker.

The project is still shrouded in mystery (or some sort of cloaking device) at this point, but we’ll be sure to share more The Predator news as soon as it hits the web. For now, take a look at the teaser image below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

‘Star Wars: Episode VIII’ Gets A Tiny Teaser, Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern Join Cast!

by Derek KraneveldtFebruary 15, 2016

Briefly: Rian Johnson’s Star Wars: Episode VIII is now filming.

Disney revealed the news today, noting new cast members, and showing off a quick teaser that features Rey and Luke together once again (right where we left them). It certainly had me reminiscing about The Force Awakens, and had me wondering if I should be headed to one last IMAX showing before the film leaves theatres.

The company also revealed that Academy Award winner Benicio Del Toro, Academy Award nominee Laura Dern, and newcomer Kelly Marie Tran have joined the project.

As a huge fan of Johnson’s Brick and Looper, I could not be more excited for Star Wars: Episode VIII. Hell, after simply watching The Force Awakens, I could not be more excited for Episode VIII. Take a look at the teaser and full announcement below, and let us know who you’d like to see the new talent portray!

Star Wars: Episode VIII hits theatres on December 15th, 2017 (because of that delay, remember)!

by Derek KraneveldtFebruary 12, 2016

Briefly: Yesterday gave us our best look at Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice yet via the film’s final trailer, and today Warner Bros. debuted three slick new promo photos for the anticipated feature.

Two of the images feature… well, Batman v. Superman, while the third image features a somber-looking Bruce standing atop some rubble.

In the film, “fearing the actions of a god-like Super Hero left unchecked, Gotham City’s own formidable, forceful vigilante takes on Metropolis’s most revered, modern-day savior, while the world wrestles with what sort of hero it really needs. And with Batman and Superman at war with one another, a new threat quickly arises, putting mankind in greater danger than it’s ever known before.”

The Legendary H.R. Pufnstuf Returns To Television This Monday!

by Derek KraneveldtFebruary 12, 2016

Briefly: How did I not hear about this until just now?

Yeah, being a 90’s kid, H.R. Pufnstuf was not often (if ever) mentioned during my childhood. In fact, I didn’t really learn about the character or its impact until I was a full grown man.

At last year’s San Diego Comic-Con, character creators (well, actually they created a lot of our favourite childhood properties) Sid and Marty Krofft had a stellar interview with our own Eric Francisco about, among other things, their popular Nick Jr. series Mutt and Stuff.

Well, this coming Monday, the legendary character, who predates both of my parents, is making a triumphant return to television… at least for a day.

See, the series is set in a unique school for dogs, and has Calvin Millan interacting with a cast of real dogs and puppets. One those puppets is Calvin’s canine best friend Stuff, who it turns out is H.R.’s nephew.

It’s bound to be freaking adorable. I wonder how many viewers outside of Mutt and Stuff‘s typical age bracket will be tuning in to this one.

The special episode, “Pufnstuf Visits Mutt & Stuff” airs Monday, 2/15 at 10 am ET on Nickelodeon. Let us know if you’ll be watching!

Gorgeous ‘Warcraft’, ‘Independence Day Resurgence’ Figures Coming To New York Toy Fair!

Briefly: New York Toy Fair is finally just a couple of days away, and though I’ll be thousands and thousands of miles away from the action, I can’t wait to see what all of my favourite toymakers have to show off.

One of this Summer’s biggest features, Duncan Jones’ Warcraft is set to have a huge presence at the convention, and Toy Fair attendees can expect to see new additions to the range from ThinkGeek, Just Funky and Funko. Additionally, master toy partner Jakks Pacific will host a special presentation of the Warcraft line ahead of its upcoming Toys “R” Us launch scheduled for March 2016.

Jamie Kampel, Vice President, Licensing & Partnerships at Legendary notes that “The Warcraft universe represents one of the most passionate fandoms in the world. The products and collectibles that will be on display at Toy Fair not only capture the essence of the magical worlds that inspired them but the sheer depth of the range creates must-have items for even the most discerning Warcraft fans.”

We’ve got a sweet sneak peak at one of the upcoming Funko Pop! (booth 4805) figures, as well as some of Jakk’s Pacific’s (booth 1135) gorgeous Warcraft figurines. At the show, Think Geek (booth 3015) will showcase a range that includes watches, wall décor, caps, backpacks and stylish loungewear inspired by the Warcraft film, Just Funky (booth 4963) will be showing off novelty tumblers, mugs, water bottles and decorative coasters perfect for the grog of your choosing.

Mostly, it sounds like a lot of stuff that I’d like to own. Take a look at a few of the images below, and be sure to let us know what you think! New York resident? Planning to head to the New York Toy Fair?

That’s a nice looking Pop!

Here Are The First Photos From ‘Game Of Thrones’ Sixth Season!

Briefly: Following the very first teaser debut from back in December, and the official premiere date reveal last month, HBO has just debuted the first images from the series’ upcoming sixth season.

I’m not exactly caught up with the series, so I’m not really sure what’s going on in the images below. That said, they look pretty and I’m an idiot for not watching this series.

You can take a look at the images below, and be sure to let us know what you think! Game of Thrones returns to HBO on April 24th!

This season the series will actually develop the plot further than the released books have, due to the latest delay for George RR Martin’s The Winds of Winter. Those who have followed the novels, will you be watching the series this year knowing it will spoil the plot of the next book? Be sure to sound out in the comments below!

Awesome Pre-Order Bonuses For ‘Quantum Break’ Revealed Along With Bundle, PC Version!

Briefly: Quantum Break is the reason that I bought an Xbox One (well, that I bought an Xbox One for the second time).

Remedy Entertainment’s previous endeavor, Alan Wake, was one of my favourite titles of last-generation, and as such it would be impossible for me to ignore such a striking, unique-looking title.

Today, Microsoft debuted a brand-new, awesome trailer for the title, and also revealed some other exciting Quantum Break news. First up, trailer time:

Yeah, we know. It looks cool as hell.

Well, the Quantum Break package just got better. Every copy of Quantum Break for Xbox One will come with a full-game download for Alan Wake for Xbox 360, plus its two add-on packs, The Signal and The Writer. Better yet, pre-order the title, and you’ll also get a copy of Alan Wake: American Nightmare.

Microsoft has also revealed that the game will launch on Windows 10 day and date with the Xbox One version of the title. The company notes that they want customers to “play the games they want with the people they want on the devices they want,” so pre-ordering the title will also net you a free Windows 10 version of the anticipated title.

Of course, for those of you that haven’t yet jumped on the Xbox One bandwagon, Microsoft will be offering a new Xbox One bundle, featuring a 500GB Cirrus White console and matching wireless controller, a full-game download of Quantum Break and a full-game download of Alan Wake accompanied by The Signal and The Writer add-on packs.

Quantum Break aims to offer an extremely “unique experience; one part hard-hitting video game, one part thrilling live action show, featuring a stellar cast, including Shawn Ashmore (“X-Men”) as the hero Jack Joyce, Aidan Gillen (“Game of Thrones”) as his nemesis Paul Serene and Dominic Monaghan (“Lord of the Rings”) as Jack’s genius brother, William. Quantum Break is full of the vivid storytelling, rich characters and dramatic twists Remedy Entertainment are renowned for. Your choices in-game will affect the outcome of this fast-paced fusion between game and show giving the player a completely unique entertainment experience.”

Damn, I cannot wait to play this game. Are you looking forward to picking it up? Sound out below!
