The rather popular Borderlands has already gotten three bits of DLC since it's release last year, and it looks like a new piece will be coming out come this September. Entitled Claptrap's New Robot Revolution, the new DLC sees the four heroes from the original game going up against an army of malfunctioning ninja claptraps. If that doesn't sound awesome, there might be something wrong with you.

You don't see it all too often, but when it's done right, it's straight up awesome. Cosplay is usually centered around recreating a character as accurately as possible, but sometimes the costume makers take it in a much different direction,  "remixing" the costume in strange and interesting ways. Examples of this include the Comic-Con staple of Pimp Boba, and more recently... Shogun Vader.

Freakonomics, a new documentary adapted from the bestselling book of the same name, has just recieved its first trailer. We got a chance to see the film during the LA Film Fest, and I know Musashi loved it quite a bit. The documentary is actually an omnibus collaboration between a number of acclaimed filmmakers, including Morgan Spurlock and Rachel Grady. Each of the documentarian's individual segments are introduced by authors Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. Having read the book myself, I can say that it stays pretty true to the spirit and tone. Each of the segments brings its own distinctive style to the table as well, making it an all-around unique documentary experience.

This week, both the Call of Duty: Black Ops and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 collector's edition games were announced.  I wasn't a huge fan of Bad Company 2, but the Ultimate Edition comes with a few awesome add-ons for those of you who wanted a copy, but never happened to buy it.  The game includes the VIP map packs, Battlefield 1943, a new 4 player co-op mode, and some unlockables.  It'll b released August 31 and will be retailing at the sweet, sexy price of 60 bucks.

I'll admit, I often get unreasonably excited at the prospect of a new theme park, even if it's one I'll probably never be able to visit. Regardless, I still think this news is pretty cool. Apparently Universal Studios has been testing the water for a new LotR theme park through email surveys. Check out the pitch below.

Hydrophobia is a downloadable game being developed by Dark Energy Digital. Using their patented HydroEngine that accurately models the physics of water, Dark Energy hopes to create a game that requires the player to use and manipulate the water around them to survive. The game gets started after the ship they are on is sabotaged by an extremist terrorist group. I spoke to Rob Hewson to discuss development, gameplay and plot on this ambitious and rather good-looking game.

While some like Matthew Vaughan have stated that superhero films may be a dead genre soon, due to an over saturation of poor quality work, the comic book genre as a whole looks to kick on because it provides such a diverse range of stories. Enter Paramount's latest acquisition Last Man Standing: Killbook of a Bounty Hunter.

Freeze, turkeys! Black Dynamite 2 might be on its way! During a press interview in London, star and writer of Black Dynamite Michael Jai White revealed that a sequel is in the works. He had this to say:

Awesome news for fans of GSC's S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series. A news post on the studio's main site reveals their plans to produce a full on sequel. Clear Sky and even Call of Pripyat were more or less extensions of the original game, so it'll be interesting to see what GSC brings to the table to make this experience unique. Nothing else was revealed other than the sequel will utilize a completely new engine, and not the CryEngine as was previously rumored, but I'll definitely be keeping tabs on this game and will update when we have additional info.

When talking about a game like BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, you’re normally going to get one of two reactions out of a person: an ecstatic explosion of hearts popping out of said persons head or a blank stare. And possibly a sock to the face. Blazblue is a fighting game franchise, currently being developed by Arc System Works, the group responsible for ever popular fighting game known as Guilty Gear. After releasing many games in their Guilty Gear franchise, the game developers moved on to start another franchise. Their first installment in the series is BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger; Continuum Shift is the sequel to that game, adding much needed balancing, new characters, and new game modes. The new installment in the series also continues the story where it left off, but more on that later.

Everytime I see a BioShock trailer, I'm always in complete awe.  Today, Infinite, one of the developer behind the original BioShock, announced BioShock Infinite and it looks a~freakin~mazing.

Toy Story is one of the most beloved franchises ever. Whether it's the characters, the voices, the story, or what; it's just a great series. So great infact that it's worthy of it' own fan art, that great tradition that can sometimes spawn complete awesomeness and/or catastrophe. Luckily, the fan art in this post is more on the awesome side.

Bacon is delicious. Fact. Bacon is bad for you. Also... not... fact? At least according to this official looking infographic found on MedicalBillingSchool.org. Man, I don't know what to believe anymore.
