Deadpool: The Game (Trailer)

So, Deadpool's getting his own game. Deadpool. The Merc with a Mouth. One of the most hilarious, craziest, most awesome characters in the Marvel universe is getting his own game. 

Obviously this is awesome. Deadpool is one of the greatest characters and to have him have his own game can only mean that hilarity, awesomeness, and insanity will ensue. All I want is for him to break the fourth wall within the game. A lot. I've read that in the upcoming movie ( . . . ) he will be doing just that (in addition to being played by Ryan Reynolds again) and seriously, I'm just really excited for this game. 

And I want him to talk to himself. 

Seriously all I want is for Deadpool to be ... Deadpool. Yep. 

Catch the trailer below.

E3

So, E3 is this week and boy, do we have a lot of stuff to talk about.

Unfortunately, we're not going to talk about them in depth until tomorrow.

But I will say this: the Nintendo conference was very underwhelming. I was expecting so much more from the hype that they tried to raise up for the Wii U and man, I got almost nothing out of that. Miiverse? A place where you can leave notes for each other in games? Ridiculous. I disapprove heartily.

Ubisoft really stole the show. Watch Dogs looks freaking fantastic—will definitely go into more depth about that tomorrow. I don't think that any of the other guys really took the show with their conferences. Ubisoft did a great job, minus the fact that Tobuscus was there and it was just awkward whenever he was onscreen.

Until tomorrow!

Prometheus

It's been a long time since we've had a good alien/sci-fi movie come out. I really don't remember the last good one that I saw in theaters—granted, my brain is still pretty fried from being so hyped up on Avengers, but I really couldn't tell you the last sci-fi movie that I really enjoyed that's come out in the past few years. I'm all about sci-fi, especially if it's well done.

Now, Prometheus. It really does look like it's going to scare the crap out of me. I can't even put my finger on why. Like I said, I love a good science-fiction movie. Aliens and technology and futuristic stuff that we don't have here (...yet...), what could be better than that? Computers that you control with your fingers on invisible screens displayed by lights in midair and all kinds of HUDs and holograms and stuff, so awesome. But every time I see a trailer for Prometheus (mostly just during the Avengers) I tell myself that I'm not going to be able to see it in theaters. Because it looks scary, dude. But then when I see a trailer later on, I'm all "OH YEAH THAT MOVIE LOOKS GREAT". So, I'm guessing I'm just going to have to see it to get over my fear/excitement of seeing it. Because really, if I could, I would totally make a cool futuristic science-fiction movie where they get trapped in some strange alien world but get to drive a cool spaceship and they get cool gadgets and all that jazz.

When the Hunger Games came out, that was considered a 'sci-fi' movie (I would have never called it that but whatever), but having seen that movie and seen that it's a damn disappointment, I'm really looking forward to Prometheus. They have this cool viral marketing thing that they're doing where they post videos—a TED talk, an advert for David, David the Android introduction video, and 'Quiet Eye'—and let me just say, I love viral marketing. I think viral marketing, when it's well done, is an excellent way to get people interested in a movie. Making 'fake websites' for the companies in movies (Harvey Dent's campaign website for Dark Knight...actually, the entire marketing campaign for Dark Knight was ridiculously intricate. And awesome.) is a great way to get people to explore and learn about the movie's characters, background, etc. It's especially helpful for films like Prometheus, whose plot has been under wraps for so long. Viral marketing is good for a movie that you don't want to reveal the plot for.

Anyway, so, Prometheus. I haven't done a lot of digging about the movie but I have watched all the videos above and I've seen the trailers, obviously. I just don't want to dig too much because the problem with the trailers is that they give so much away already. I feel like I know what's going to happen in the movie already and that's really disappointing to me, but who knows? Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. Or, you know, completely scared. Either way, I know I'm going to enjoy it.
