GameStop To Distribute A New Pokémon Download Code This Month!

by Natalie Kipper

By now, most Pokéfans have no doubt made their way to the Alola region in Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon. And the fun keeps on coming! GameStop is teaming up with Nintendo to gift trainers with a powerful Lycanroc (Midnight Form). From May 15 through June 5, you can pick up a code card at your local store and redeem it via the Mystery Gift option in the game’s main menu.

This wolfish Rock-type arrives at level 50 with “No Guard,” the ability that makes all moves used by both this Pokémon and its opponent always hit. It comes with the moves Stone Edge, Fire Fang, Sucker Punch, and Swords Dance. Its held item is the Life Orb, which increases the damage from moves by the Pokémon holding it by 30 percent. However, the Life Orb’s holder also loses 10 percent of its max HP each turn.

I would recommend heading to your local GameStop on May 15 or soon after, if you want to take advantage of this awesome promotion. Past distributions have seen code cards run out in some location way ahead of the end date. You can find your local GameStop through the site’s handy store locator.

New, Brief ‘Daredevil’ Promo Teases Luke Cake!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re all shaking uncontrollably at the fact that Marvel / Netflix’ Jessica Jones is finally just a couple of days away, and now Netflix has gone and debuted a new, barely-there teaser for next year’s second season of Daredevil.

It doesn’t feature any real footage (unlike the NYCC trailer), but instead looks to teaser all of our new favourite characters’ connections to Hell’s Kitchen.

It’s called ‘Pick Your Poison’, and simply shows off Foggy, Karen, and Matt’s favourite watering hole, Josies, before panning over to Luke’s, bar of choice for our new, damaged heroine Jessica Jones.

You can take a look at the teaser below, and be sure to let us know just how many episodes of Jessica Jones you’ll be watching this Friday!

‘Breaking Bad’ Returns August 11th, New Teaser Released!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’re less than one week away from the premiere of Breaking Bad‘s final half season, and AMC today debuted a new TV spot for the exciting event.

The promo, titled “Say My Name”, takes us through some of last year’s insane moments, including Hank’s realization that Walter may not be as innocent as he once thought. The spot is made up of entirely old footage, but somehow gets me excited as hell for this Sunday.

Take a look at the teaser below, and let us know if you’ll be tuning in!

Watch The ‘Star Trek Into Darkness’ Earth Hour Presentation!

by Derek Kraneveldt

If you were lucky enough to be in London during last night’s Earth Hour and just happened to look out into the dark, dark night, you may have noticed something very cool glowing amongst the stars.

 

Paramount used the evening to hold an awesome promotional event in the city; while all of the lights were off, a gigantic starfleet symbol appeared in the sky. I wonder how many UFO reports the city received over the course of the evening…

 

Don’t take my word for it! Watch the video below, and let us know what you think! Star Trek Into Darkness hits theatres on May 17th.

 

 

In Summer 2013, pioneering director J.J. Abrams will deliver an explosive action thriller that takes ‘Star Trek Into Darkness.’ When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis.

 

With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
