New Epic Rap Battles In History Pits Skrillex Against Mozart
Well, there it is.
The Epic Rap Battles in History series has always been pretty clever and this one doesn’t break the trend. Maker Studios puts these together with – and I didn’t know this – a team of more than a dozen people, which explains why they usually take so long to produce. It’s through some corporate fenagling that Snoop Lion (I giggle every single time) played Moses in an earlier episode this season.

Tumblr App For Android Gets Upgraded, Looks So Much Sparklier
It’s definitely prettier.
If you’re like me and need yet another venue to send a bunch of miscellaneous text or info to, you’ve got Tumblr installed somewhere. I just recently got on the Tumblr train to make long and extremely personal tomes of information available to every Google bot in the universe, but the Android app was always a little, hmmm, flat. Well, no longer!

‘StarCraft: Ghost’ May Still Be A Real Game, Was Never Canceled
I was this close to playing history.
StarCraft: Ghost is a large chunk floating in Blizzard’s pool of unfulfilled potential. Announced at the beginning of the sixth generation of consoles in 2002, the game was postponed indefinitely in 2005 as new consoles were arriving. To the casual observer, it seemed that Blizzard’s protracted development cycles seemed inflexible for the strict lifespan of a console life. Notice, I didn’t say it was canceled in 2005 and neither did Blizzard, because apparently it still exists somewhere over a decade after its announcement.

PC Gamers Already Hatin’ On Next-Gen Xbox, PlayStation 4, But Why?
Sometimes people want a keyboard and a mouse and a joystick and a dedicated thumb input. Sometimes they don’t.
With all this rumbling going on regarding Sony and Microsoft’s next-generation consoles, (some) in the PC gaming community feels the need to play defensive. The PC gaming versus console gaming debate is an age-old one, but what’s sillier than debating video cards versus Xbox Live Arcade is the fact that some people honestly believe they’re mutually exclusive things. Holding a Dual Shock 3 automatically disqualifies you from playing World of Warcraft with authority. Murdering dudes in Hotline Miami means you have a super-gaudy, massive gaming PC with annoying LED light leaking everywhere. With new hardware, the battle continues!

‘Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon’s Neon Sights And Blasting Beats Make Me So Hot
Yes. All of this.
Did you think last year’s amazing Far Cry 3 could’ve been, I don’t know, weirder?This game’s been making the rounds in the past few weeks, but there’s now enough information out in the wild to guarantee that Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is my most-anticipated game of the moment. Taking place in the distant year of 2007 and featuring 80s sci-fi star Michael Biehn (Aliens, The Terminator), this game’s link to Far Cry 3 seems pretty tenuous, but who cares? It looks so siiiiick.

Microsoft to Unveil Next-Gen Xbox On May 21? Yeah, Sure.
Okay, it probably won’t look like this.
Thanks to Peter Moore, Microsoft had a real schmaltzy way to unveil the Xbox 360: an MTV special. Airing just after the climax of their “The Colony” ARG, back in the Spring of 2005 and starring the Lord of The Rings‘ Elijah Wood, viewers got to see celebrities play classy titles like Perfect Dark Zero while The Killers played. Now, we can’t say that MTV will be involved, but it looks like Microsoft is going to unveil their new console ahead of E3, which makes a lot of sense.

‘Evil Dead’ Remake Review: Almost Too Evil
I’m not going in that cellar.
Writer/director Fede Alvarez’s remake of Evil Dead stands as an example of what a remake should be. The filmmakers—not content with simply creating a shot-for-shot rehash of the original—took elements of the cult classic and blended them into something new. The result is somewhat mixed, but still praiseworthy.
