Blast Off With The Latest Loot Gaming Crate!

by Josh Jackson

While space may still be mostly uncharted territory, that won’t stop us from celebrating it with the latest Loot Gaming crate! Featuring some of the best video games to take us into the great beyond, here’s what we unboxed this time around!

First off, the latest pin captures the wonder of space exploration with its logo showing off a bright launch. Shining bright like the infinite possibilities that the lands beyond the stars offer, it’s a great addition to the growing collection of crate exclusive pins.

Returning with more Destiny love, this scarf will surely keep us warm while we team up with friends to keep the galaxy safe. As one of two potential designs, fans of the game now have a couple of different ways to show off their fandom while staying warm in the process. Not as warm as blaster fire in your face, but warm nonetheless.

That N7 logo can only mean one thing, Mass Effect is back in a big way. Just a few months short of the big release of Mass Effect Andromeda, this new T-Shirt gives us a way to get reacquainted to Bioware’s space epic, with plenty of relationships to form along the way. Now, don’t expect to run into any sexy blue aliens, but then again, with this shirt on, you never know…

As a huge Ratchet and Clank fan, it was easy for me to decide that this Omniwrench replica was my favorite item of the crate. As an awesome miniature display, Ratchet’s trademark weapon serves as a puzzle solving tool when its not bashing bad guys over the head. Then, to my surprise, the wrench top fell off to reveal a pen! I might not have realized it was a pen until this happened, but know that it’s known, it makes the item even cooler. What better way to trudge through those lectures or take those notes then with an intergalactic space weapon? Count me in!

That does it for our space themed Loot Gaming crate! What were your picks for best items for this go around, and what do you want to see in future boxes? As always, when signing up for your own boxes, use the coupon code “Geekscape” for a discount!

Dream Big With WWE’s Latest Slam Crate!

by Josh Jackson

The second WWE Slam Crate is here, and it challenges us to dream big. Featuring items from some of the most humbling, unlikely success stories within the company, (and John Cena), both newer and longtime fans will have plenty to love this time around.

Throughout WWE history, dreams of carrying the world title would become much more likely once the Superstar won the Intercontinental Title. This month’s pin reflects that, with a replica image of the title that guys from Mr. Perfect to Triple H made famous.

On the figure side of things, this surprisingly heavy Metal Die Cast features an incredibly jolly John Cena toy to display. Exclusive to this crate, fans will surely get a kick out of this model, most likely at 2. Whether you love him or hate him, it’s hard not to find something to like about this item.

If anyone encompasses big dreams, you’d be hard pressed to argue that AJ Styles isn’t one of the best examples of this. After making a name for himself wrestling around the world, the guy who many thought would never enter a WWE ring ended up becoming champion in his first year with the company! Celebrate the champ that runs the camp with an exclusive shirt, featuring his phenomenal one logo.

As one of the most unlikely success stories within the company, Daniel Bryan helped create one of the most memorable scenes in Wrestlemania history when his nearly year long storyline, (both in and out of the ring), led him to two wins at the grandest stage of them all, one of which for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship! Relive those days with this Daniel Bryan beanie, bringing the Yes! Movement back in full force!

Rounding out the crate is my favorite item of the box, the Bayley Bear! Wearing her signature headband and her latest shirt, this perfectly hug-able plush will bring joy to both the young and the young at heart. With her character being a longtime fan who decided to become a wrestler herself, there’s no one on the current roster who encompasses dreaming big better than Bayley does, which is why her bear is such a great addition for this round of items.

Let us know what your favorite items in the crate were for this month, and share what you’d want to see in future crates! As always, when picking up your own subscription, make sure to use the coupon code “Geekscape” for a discount!

Watch A Gorgeous New Cinematic Trailer For ‘The Last Guardian’!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: I can barely believe that it’s finally almost here (and Shane still doesn’t believe it based on last night’s podcast), but we’re now barely a month away from Sony’s The Last Guardian, and after all these years of waiting I can’t wait to see what it’s finally all about.

Today, Sony debuted an incredibly gorgeous new cinematic trailer for the game, reminding us all just how close it is to releasing, while also throwing off some major ICO vibes.

I just really, really hope Trico doesn’t die…

Take a look at the trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think. The Last Guardian hits PS4 on December 6th!

The Last Guardian Gets Delayed To December.

by The_acz

Being a fan of Sony’s upcoming PS4 game The Last Guardian is suffering.

Announced way back in 2009 for the PS3, the project was revealed at that years E3, only to go dead silent for 6 years until being re-revealed at Sony’s now amazingly infamous E3 2015 of dreams. This year we got another trailer for the stunning game with a release date of October 25th 2016, a mere 6 weeks away. Suffice to say, fans were happy to finally play the game so soon. At least that’s what they thought.

In a post this morning on the official PlayStation Blog, Shuhei Yoshida posted that the development team needs just an extra month or two to make it the best game it can be. The game is now penned for a December 6th 2016 release. (Happy birthday to me!) You can read the update right here. Fans seem to be taking the delay pretty well as people have been more accepting of the delay than No Man’s Sky gate just a couple of months ago. What are your thoughts on the delay? Tell us in the comments below!
