Your first look at ‘Rick and Morty’ Season 4 is here, and it’s super silly

TwitterFacebook

We have our first glimpse at the long-awaited fourth season of Rick and Morty and it’s got almost everything you could ask for: Morty, an alien, Jerry, and rage. No Rick this time, unfortunately.

As we learned in May, Rick and Morty is returning with Season 4 in November, and frankly this first clip is pretty grounded compared to some of the things that we’ve seen in the show thus far.

It looks like in this episode, Morty and Jerry are working with an alien who is an app developer and has developed an app for them that they want pulled, as well as an ominous beeping app. It’s not a lot to go on, but hey, it’s the first new clip in two years. Read more…

Four Loko teamed up with Fleshlight for a monstrosity called ‘Sex In A Can’

TwitterFacebook

Raise your hands if you’ve ever wanted to fuck a can of Four Loko. 

Nobody? None at all?

Nobody — not a single soul — asked for it, but two deeply cursed brands have teamed up for a historic collaboration that’s sure to lead to regrets all around: A Four Loko Fleshlight.

Selling for the perfectly reasonable price of $69, the toy is sure to bring back all the adolescent memories you’d probably prefer to forget. What’s more reminiscent of painfully awkward sexual awakenings than sticking your dick in things that you should never have stuck your dick into? You don’t need to risk the cuts and scrapes from making love to a soda can — now, you can safely make your fantasy a reality thanks to Fleshlight’s textured “Mini-Lotus” canal.  Read more…

‘Sky: Children of the Light’, the spiritual successor to ‘Journey’, makes you believe in a better world

TwitterFacebook

Thatgamecompany co-founder Jenonva Chen, the mind behind wildly acclaimed titles like Journey and Flower, designs games with one simple but seemingly impossible goal: to create virtual worlds where people are nice to each other.

In 2012, the monolithic Journey achieved that seemingly impossible task. The minimalist online game stripped players of all identity, rendering each an identical, anonymous robed figure without a name or any ability to communicate aside from chirps. 

By doing away with all the typical conventions of a multiplayer game (voice chat, competitiveness, usernames), Journey left the strangers it paired together with no other option than to cooperate on their adventure through its gorgeous and mysterious world. Famously, one other form of interaction became common practice among players, which Chen and his team never accounted for.  Read more…

The ‘Cats’ trailer gave everyone nightmares, so we’re coping with memes

TwitterFacebook

The CATS trailer dropped on Thursday and everyone is deeply uncomfortable. 

Many stage-to-screen productions are wonderful adaptations of beloved stories, showing off the vast expanse of creativity that dwells within the entertainment industry. This is… something else.

With a star-studded cast that includes James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen, Taylor Swift, and Rebel Wilson, audiences would expect a spectacular performance. That’s not to say that the movie won’t be spectacular, but the trailer shows two minutes and 20 seconds of very famous actors digitally dressed in fur unitards and cat ears, getting into the various shenanigans that typical house cats adore.  Read more…

The first trailer for HBO’s ‘His Dark Materials’ looks downright stunning

TwitterFacebook

Your new favorite HBO fantasy drama is almost here.

At San Diego Comic-Con Thursday, the network dropped the first full-length trailer for His Dark Materials, based on the bestselling trilogy by Philip Pullman.

This one is set in a world not terribly unlike our own, except that each person has an animal soul companion known as a “daemon” hanging about. At the center of the story is Lyra (played by Dafne Keen of Logan), a young girl who gets entangled in a dark conspiracy after her friend is kidnapped.

It’s the second screen adaptation of the series, which was previously made into a movie in 2007. If the new TV series is able to capture the spirit of the novels, prepare yourself for one strange, twisty, and irresistibly addictive ride.  Read more…

‘Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3’ is a giant virtual playground for Marvel stans

TwitterFacebook

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3: The Black Order is a virtual playground where Marvel stans can live out all the scenarios that used to be the sole domain of action figures and imaginations. It couldn’t have arrived at a better time.

It’s been almost an entire decade since the last game in the series, not to mention a leap to a new publisher and developer. It’s also a Nintendo Switch exclusive, and it’s releasing in a world that’s more Marvel-obsessed than ever. And yet, for all these changes, this is still the Ultimate Alliance fans know and love.

But what if you’re not a fan? The “MUA” games (pronounced “MOO-uh”), as longtime players fondly call them, take the best aspects of Marvel Comics — the heroes and villains, and their range of powers and colorful costumes — and fuse them with an action role-playing game that’s basically superhero Diablo.

No, Incognito mode won’t keep your porn habits private. This will.

TwitterFacebook

Your dumb privacy tricks aren’t working. They still know what kind of porn you’re watching. 

So concludes a not-so-surprising study, which determined that online pornography sites are loaded with various trackers that leak private details about their users to third parties. And no, the study authors take pains to insist, Google’s Incognito mode won’t keep your secrets. 

This latter point highlights broad confusion among the general public about what the Google Chrome feature actually does. Many people believe it renders their online browsing private, when in reality it just prevents Chrome from “[saving] your browsing history, cookies and site data, or information entered in forms.”  Read more…

Commuter nearly pushed into subway tracks by water rushing into flooded station

TwitterFacebook

New York City really is going through it.

An innocent commuter was nearly swept off a platform and into train tracks when he got caught in a rapidly flooding subway station. 

The heavy rain pouring down on Court Square in Long Island City was so intense on Wednesday that it forced a wall to collapse, causing a rush of water that knocked a commuter off his feet. In a video posted by the Instagram account @subwaycreatures, the commuter was nearly pushed into an incoming train car as he struggled to stand up.
