Today was not a good day to be an employee at website Machinima who laid off almost 10% of their staff just two weeks before Christmas. The layoffs affected the editorial staff. Machinima employees were given no forward notice of their terminations.
To rub salt in the wound, Machinima released an official statement about the matter.
“Today Machinima underwent a reorganization to address its global growth, and this process unfortunately resulted in layoffs. Less than 10% of Machinima’s workforce was effected. Also as part of the restructure Machinima is hiring across key divisions including Sales, Marketing and Product.”
So for all the people that created and edited content for the website take heart, they are hiring new employees to help sell your content.

Logan sure does look like a sad samurai in the newest poster for The Wolverine. Let’s hope being based off of Chris Claremont’s classic Wolvie story can get people to forget about X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Nevermind, let’s be honest it can’t be forgotten, let’s say forgiven.
The Wolverine releases on July 26, 2013.
Check out the trailer for Castlevania: Lords of Shadow 2 with some great voice work by Robert Carlyle (SG:U, Once Upon A Time). Centuries have passed since the first game and you will now be playing in modern times. No release date has been announced for the game.
Take heart Mass Effect fans, EA and Bioware are already hard at work on the next game in the series.
The fact there is going to be a new Mass Effect game is no surprise with Bioware’s Casey Hudson tweeting about this back in November but now Mike Gamble, producer on Mass Effect 3, has given the game a very early release window.
“Late 2014 to mid-2015. I honestly can’t tell you an exact because full development on the game started a month or two ago.”
So I guess we can be pretty safe to say that the next title in the franchise will be on next-gen consoles. The game will be a completely new story not involving Commander Shepard (for obvious reasons). It has not been announced if the title will be a prequel or a true sequel.
Gamble went on to talk about the use of a new engine for the game and more.
“The game isn’t far along in development so I can’t comment on specifics because they isn’t any yet. Frostbite 2 is a really good game engine that we are also using on Dragon Age 3. As far as release date, there’s nothing to be announced yet. You’ll hear more about the new Mass Effect game in 2013.”
The first trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s sci-fi flick Pacific Rim has just gone online and it is certainly the most…unique trailer of the big summer movies. A cynical part of me wants to pre-judge this movie but yet when I watch it there is the kid in me that said it is giant robots fighting giant monsters just shut up and have fun. Is anyone else getting an adult Power Rangers vibe off of the preview?
Pacific Rim releases on July 12, 2013.
