    If you were watching the MTV Movie Awards last night I would first like to apologize for wasting your time on that. Second, at least you were treated with the first look at the trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. Of course you could have just waited for it to go online and saved yourself the trouble of watching MTV for two hours and wondering who won the award for “Best Twilight Moment Ever”.

    Check out the trailer below. Katniss and Peeta embark on their victory tour as the President and Truman Capote plot to kill them both. Oh and Thor’s brother does his best Jim Caviezel impersonation.

    The Hunger Games: Catching Fire releases on November 22nd.

    Here are three new posters for Star Trek Into Darkness. The first shows the Enterprise falling to Earth and the ones below have Spock praying to an almighty volcano god and Uhura wishing she didn’t have to contractually come back and do two more Avatar movies.

    A new trailer for the movie releases online Tuesday.

    Star Trek Into Darkness releases on May 17th.

  • Life Lesson: Never Question A Gaming Girl. Want An Example?

    This post is two-fold. First, for all the real gaming girls out there I will say that I respect the ever-loving hell out of you. This society may be run by nerds now, but I am sure some of you get plenty of flak from other groups of women sometimes for what you love to do. Nothing beats having a good video game conversation with a lady that knows her shit.

    Second, this goes out to the guys who walk around and make fun of women who have video game themed t-shirts or other apparel and you question if they are just wearing it to be “cool” in today’s nerd world. Be careful what you speak out of your mouth.

    Rae Johnston is the lifestyle editor at Techlife.net and someone made the mistake of questioning her gaming knowledge one fateful day while waiting for coffee.

  • Injustice:Gods Among Us Launch Trailer Has Punching, Kicking And Kevin Conroy

    WB Games has released a launch trailer for Injustice: Gods Among Us. It is not heavy on story (which is great by the way), but it is heavy on punches to the face, tombstones over people’s heads and truth lassos. Oh and Batman and Aquaman get most of the speaking time which is fine with me since Kevin Conroy is back doing Batman’s voice and Aquaman is the King of Atlantis and all. Not an Aquaman fan? You are missing out.

    [amazon_link id=”B0088I7L76″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Injustice: Gods Among Us[/amazon_link] releases on April 16th, which is next week! So this is the perfect opportunity to check out our Five Reasons why you should buy Injustice.

  • Samsung’s Galaxy Mega Asks If You Can Handle 6 Inches

    galaxy-mega

    Hey, are you one of those people walking around with a Galaxy Note I or II in your pocket as people wonder what is the bulge in your pants? Well guess what? It’s not the biggest anymore. That’s right, Samsung has moved one step closer to telling you to buy a Galaxy Tab and tape it to your head.

    Introducing the Galaxy Mega. This big bastard comes in two sizes: the 5.8 inch “Look At Me And My Ridiculous Phone” and the 6.3 inch “It’s Big In China Phone”. They will come in 8 and 16GB versions and will support microSD cards up to 64GB. The 5.8 inch comes with a 960 x 540 resolution and the 6.3 inch is equipped with 1280 x 720 so you can read all the sad, lonely posts of your “friends” on Facebook in face melting high quality.

    No North American release date has been given, but Europe and Russia will be getting them in May. Really? Russia is getting them before us? How many vodka and beet dinners will have to be forsaken to afford this thing?

  • New Trailer For The Hangover Part III

    The new trailer for The Hangover Part III has surfaced and let’s just all breathe a sigh of relief because it looks like the finale of the trilogy will be taking a different path unlike the second chapter. We finally get an explanation of why Doug (once again) is missing from another Wolfpack adventure.

    It seems Chow has stolen a considerable amount of money from John Goodman and he believes Stu, Alan and Phil are the ones to track him down. Now we all know by now the last person you should piss off is Walter Sobchak.

    The Hangover Part III releases May 24th.

  • Skrillex Tries To (Dub)Step All Over Mozart In The Newest Epic Rap Battle

    Is there no stopping what the guys at Epic Rap Battles can do? Check out their newest which has the dubstep master Skrillex taking on (arguably) the greatest composer of all time, Mozart. The real winner of this video are the people that made Epic Lloyd look like an exact Skrillex doppelganger. It’s damn freaky.

  • The Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Trailer Stirs Up My Inner Running Man

    Holy Ronald Reagan Oingo Boingo John Carpenter Roddy Piper Jane Fonda TBS Superstation Space Mutiny fuck balls.

    That was roughly what was running through my head as I watched the reveal trailer for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon in all its VHS tracking glory. I will give you a chance to watch it below then keep scrolling.

    Has your mind been sufficiently blown?

    Are you thinking, like me, that you will now name your firstborn male child Rex “Power” Colt?

    If you want to see more of just how batshit insane and awesome this game is going to be click here for the first fifteen minutes of the game from IGN.

  • Wait…More Man Of Steel? Ummm Yeah?

    I know we are still two months away from the release of Man of Steel, but we just need to accept that these articles are going to keep happening. If you are not a Superman fan I am sure we have plenty of other great articles on here for you such as:

    New developer diary from The Last of Us
    Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire Retro Achievement List
    Win a Bioshock Infinite strategy guide

    Still here?

    Good.

    Now that we have determined you are a Superman fan (or at least a fan of large men in spandex) here are the photos from the Entertainment Weekly summer movie issue which Supes is the cover boy. We get what is probably the best (and most sinister) look at Michael Shannon’s Zod as well as looks at Jor-El, Lois Lane and Perry White, who, ironically, is African-American in this movie, so if you have a problem with that we can’t be friends anymore.

    Man of Steel releases on June 14th.

  • Man Of Steel Takes Center Stage On EW’s Summer Movie Issue

    This isn’t really a big piece of news, but let’s face it, it’s Superman. Henry Cavill is this year’s cover boy for Entertainment Weekly’s summer movie issue and director Zack Snyder reveals that Kryptonite will not be in this summer’s Superman adventure. He says that it has been used so often as Superman’s weakness that they wanted to take a different approach this time.

    Zod beating the shit out of him is a good start.

    Man of Steel releases on June 14th.
