American treasure and giver of zero f*cks, Morgan Freeman, dropped by The Daily Show last night, and Jon Stewart must have been well aware of the veteran actor’s propensity to nod off when discussing his new movie about magicians robbing Terry Benedict’s casino (pretty sure that’s it), because at the 1:00 mark he did away with any notion that they would discuss the film and turned the conversation towards Freeman’s new passion: theoretical physics.

Freeman not only hosts Science channel’s Through the Wormhole (returning June 5th) but he also recently hosted the Fundamental Physics Prize gala in Geneva, so he can morph into Professor Freeman mode at the drop of a hat.

So far all we’ve been given is some concept art and lots of big talk about open worlds and Destiny being the “World of Warcraft of shooters”.

Well, today Bungie finally stopped holding back and has given us…a teaser trailer. Okay, well, it’s not gameplay footage, but it’s a pretty cool teaser trailer! Iron Man’s Jon Favreau directed it! And hey, we now know when we will get gameplay footage — June 10th. Mark your calendars.

Hit the jump for the teaser…

These are party members you can recruit. You don’t want to know how.

Valhalla Knights 3 is an upcoming RPG for the PlayStation Vita, and it actually looks like a fun game with a touch of real-time strategy and squad combat. Also you can apparently recruit members to your party by groping them in a bar. We are not making that last statement up. We have the trailer to prove it. Read the rest of this entry »

Yesterday Amazon unveiled the Kindle Worlds program, which launches in June and will allow fans of certain properties to sell their fan fiction through Amazon’s Kindle Store and get some of the money.

As we said last week, we may find the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot disappointing, even with Megan Fox bouncing on a trampoline. But that doesn’t mean we have to stop appreciating well done TMNT cosplay. Last week we enjoyed 25 awesome costumes based on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters. This week we finish up our TMNT cosplay features with one final gallery of 25 great cosplayers.
