The Covenant you thought you’d stopped at the end of Halo 3? They’re not done yet. If anything the survivors have an axe to grind with John 117 for taking away their great journey.

The on stage demo from the floor of Microsoft’s Xbox 360 E3 event starts with a live action short showing the launch of the UNSC Infinity, the largest ship ever constructed by man and intended to be a peaceful ship for exploration. On the surface of an unknown planet, Master Chief and Cortana watch this ship barrel over head ready to crash. As Chief treks to catch up, you’ll see Halo 4’s new Heads Up Display, now with Cortana’s face displayed when she talks to you. After taking out a small Covenant scout party, Chief runs into a nasty bunch of Forerunner AI. He’ll pick up a new Forerunner rifle and a Forerunner shotgun, both of which disintergrate enemies.

The demo ends with Chief surrounded by these Forerunner AI, and then a quick montage of scenes from other parts of the game. Cortana was put into service 8 years ago, and UNSC AI only have a lifespan of 7 years. She’s dying and going crazy, and some voice from beyond announces “I have long dreamt of this day, Reclaimer.” Reclaimer is the title given to Master Chief by the Forerunner AI in the first Halo game, when it was thought he was activate the ring and eliminate all life in the galaxy.

Ironhide fends off Decepticons as others evacuate in the ark, The Dinobots and Jazz take on Bruticus, and Optimus Prime is cornered by Starscream, Shockwave, and Megatron. Guess what happens next?

The MTV Movie Awards are apparently something that still happens and some new The Dark Knight Rises footage was shown last night. This is not really a trailer, its more of a montage of a lot of action with a few story bits sprinkled in.

The official running time for the movie has been announced as 2 hours and 45 minutes, so be sure to go to the bathroom before you settle into your seat on July 20. Here is the official synopsis of the movie as well:

Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, the terrorist leader Bane arrives in Gotham City, pushing it and its police force to their limits, forcing its former hero Batman to resurface after taking the fall for Harvey Dent’s crimes.

And here are two new ads running on TV for the movie: [Read the rest of this entry…]

The listeners asked, and the panelists asks, so here it is: the revised Powetcast. Instead of a 2 hour show ever 2 weeks, we’re going to a 1 hour show every week. Zac, Adam, Sean, and Cap bring you climax with a running time of 59:59.

We’ll talk Chronicle, Awake, Dragon’s Dogma, and the Care Bears. I’ll also be reading tweets and facebook comments. I’ll do that every week if you send them in.

There is also a mistake in this episode. Please note that mistake in the comments. those comments will also be read on air.

Zero 7 – “Red Dust”

The Young Justice toy line has come to an end, but with the second season currently on tv, I decided I need to buy these figures before they’re gone for good.

Here is a review of the deluxe Superboy and Artemis figures. Kinda disappointed that Superboy didn’t come in his more common jeans/shirt outfit. Artemis is spot on, though the hands could use some work.

Enjoy the video! Buy these toys before they’re gone! They look great with DCUC figures!

The Avengers has become a worldwide phenomenon, and a huge supply of official images and bootleg copies of the movie have lead to a deluge of animated gifs and memes.

Forum members LokiPoki and BenTheo have been posting them in our official Avengers discussion thread here. You can continue reading this post to see all the images so far. We’ll update with more as they come in.

Spoiler Warning: many of these images are from later scenes in the movie.
