| Video: Children Riding In Daleks
Capitalizing on the colorful upgrades to the classic Doctor Who enemy race in the most recent season of the popular BBC sci-fi show, toy manufacturer Kids@Play debuted a video of their fully functional — and ride-able — Dalek. Standing at 128cm tall, these mobile Daleks are powered by a 6-volt rechargeable battery allowing for 360-degree steering, lights, and 10 authentic sound effects that more or less promise the death of all living creatures. Considering that the Dalek race’s motives are to carry out genocide against all inferior races (which is any race that isn’t their own), I can’t decide if turning them into playful vehicles is terrifying or morbidly awesome. [There’s also a slim chance that I’m just bitter because my adult size would never fit inside one.] I leave you to make your own conclusions after watching the video clip embedded below.

| Is Ridley Scott’s ‘Prometheus’ Still An ‘Alien’ Prequel After All?
It’s gotten to a point where we may just not have a clue what’s going on with director Ridley Scott‘s return to science fiction, Prometheus, until we see it with our own eyes…much like was the case with Scott’s take on Robin Hood, which saw many strange rumors and rumblings lead us all over the place during production. Because no one likes to be screwed around with when it comes to movie news — we all just want to know accurate details, not random rumors — we’ll try and ease it back on said rumors and keep it to only things that seem solid in regards to Prometheus from here on out. That said, those of you who have been closely following this movie’s progress should be interested in hearing this last bit of he said, she said.

| What If The Big 4 Metal Tour Was The Big 8?
Metal Sucks posed a question this week: If The Big Four were The Big 8, which bands would be the next four in the group? If you’re unaware, The Big 4 Tour is comprised of thrash metal giants Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, and Anthrax. The tour is scheduled to arrive in just one city this April in the United States, much to the dismay of metalheads across the nation who wanted the tour to hit more cities. I’ve seen some reactions from fans who aren’t in total agreement with this touring line-up, stating that not every band on the bill fits the “Big 4” mold. I happened to think it’s a great bill, but I’ve wondered what other bands would fit nicely on this tour. So, if The Big 4 Tour was actually The Big 8 Tour, what four additional bands do you think deserve to be on it? Check out my picks below and let me know what yours would be.
