I was going to do a breakdown of the new Transformers: Age of Extinction trailer but Transformers news site TFormers did a darn good job for me. I will say this, though. I’m tired of the “humans hate Transformers” angle. I prefer either a secret war (which is impossible in the Bayverse but that didn’t stop them in the last two movies) or humans and Transformers getting along, like the original cartoon or Transformers Animated. At what point do the Autobots win over the humans. They only saved the world three times, the last time destroying the Decepticons. Nope it’s all “hey, thanks and all but go back to your dead planet to become extinct”. Jerks!

SHAQ FU! (Photo credit: UnholyKnight)
Shaq-Fu is considered to be one of the worst games out there. I’ve never played it but the Gaming Pixie, former game reviewer for Reviewers Unknown, once reviewed this mess of a story mixed with questionable game mechanics. Now Shaquille O’Neil wants to create a sequel.
The original game came out in 1994. Nobody has asked for a sequel. Trailer’s pretty cool, though.
As of this writing, O’Neil has reached $18,000+ of his $450,000 goal on IndieGoGo. In the promo video there, Shaq and his team are hoping to avoid the failure of the original game. I wish them luck. With that game’s legacy they need it. BAD!

“Did anyone bring popcorn” “What’s ‘popcorn’?”
A lot of today’s dramas tend to follow the soap opera/serial route with characters backstabbing each other and just being cruel. The problem is that’s pretty much the entire cast rather than one or two villains. At least that’s what Accuturated‘s Melissa Langsam Braunstein says before pointing to one nighttime drama that entertains from a more wholesome tone.
Wait, is he jumping into or out of Hot Rod’s hand?
