If you’ve never heard the song “Whip It,” I’m afraid you might be dead (unless you’ve seen a Swiffer commercial recently). Devo – that funny band of robotic nerds in matching plastic hats and space suits – have been around since the late 1970s. The aforementioned best-known hit was released in 1980 on their third album, Freedom of Choice. Also on this Greatest Hits compilation are other priceless gems like “Girl U Want,” “Jocko Homo,” and their cover of the Rolling Stones’ “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction.” Devo’s quirky new-wave sound holds up well decade after decade, making this $5 MP3 deal a sound investment in your future fun.

2013 will bring us another year of incredible movies and Universal has announced a couple of release date changes for their upcoming titles: Identity Thief, Jurassic Park 3D, About Time, 47 Ronin, Kick-Ass 2, R.I.P.D..

Of course with every date change comes the question of the state of the movie itself. So while some of these release date shifts may come as a shock, others are not so surprising.

Let’s start of chronologically. Seth Gordon‘s comedy Identity Thief starring Jason Bateman and Melissa McCarthy will be released on February 8th, 2013. The Jurassic Park 3D release will open in theaters on Aprtil 5th, 2013, while Richard Curtis‘ romantic time-travel feature, About Time, starring Rachel MacAdams, has been set for a May 10, 2013 release.

I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t think that Aspen Comics would stick around long after the unfortunate passing of founder Michael Turner. But, they’ve done a good job keeping the fire burning and I was actually surprised at how much I liked Idolized #1!!!

Writer David Schwartz does a FANTASTIC job writing this comic! I’m guessing that he watches a lot of reality TV, because to me, the dialogue, premise, and execution of the issue was almost perfect. And he knows how to combine it perfectly with the superhero genre. From start to finish this is a great comic. It’s a perfect blend of reality and super heroics and a really fun read. It’s got a great shock ending, that I honestly didn’t see coming. There’s an origin that takes up about a quarter of the book, and that’s a little standard, but it read well and was entertaining. This book was a VERY pleasant surprise.

To celebrate the Blu-ray release of the original three Indiana Jones films, Paramount Studios is releasing Raiders of the Lost Ark in IMAX theaters.

Now to make the film’s massive theatrical conversion official, we are getting a trailer for the IMAX release, as well as a nifty hand-drawn poster to celebrate the IMAX release. Check both of them out here below.

Darksiders II
Xbox 360 l PS3 l PC
DEVELOPER: Vigil Games
PUBLISHER: THQ
RELEASE DATE: August 14, 2012

I have the great pleasure of offering a unique perspective on a video game for a select group of potential players. Usually when I review a game it’s one that I’m familiar with and one that I’ve been anticipating for multiple years. In the case of Darksiders II, I went in almost completely blind.

I never played the original Darksiders. I did play its demo when it was made available and was thoroughly neutral; I didn’t hate it or anything, but had no intentions of playing the full game, either. Because of this, I had absolutely no knowledge whatsoever of Darksiders II, allowing me a chance to offer an opinion to those who never played the first but are thinking about checking out the sequel.
