LEGO Have Used The Resurrection Stone! LEGO Harry Potter Collection Confirmed For PS4

Earlier I wondered if LEGO’s Chamber of Secrets had been opened with the rumours of a remastered LEGO Harry Potter Collection for PS4. Well, enemies of the heir beware because it seems those rumours were true. LEGO have today confirmed that remastered versions of LEGO Harry Potter Years 1-4 and LEGO Harry Potter Years 5-7 are coming in a single disc release for Playstation 4.

The remastered edition of the LEGO Harry Potter games will contain a bunch of new features, including a character pack featuring Hogwarts founders Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin as well as Peeves the poltergeist, Harry Potter (Yule Ball), Ron Weasley (Ghoul), Hermione Granger (Pink Dress), Luna Lovegood (Lion Head) and Gilderoy Lockhart (Straightjacket).  The release will also feature a pack of new spells (including Cantis, Densaugeo, Ducklifors, Melofors, and Tentaclifors), as well as ‘enhanced graphics, environments, lighting, and visual effects’. New cutscenes haven’t been confirmed yet, although I would suspect this would be the case given that the original scenes featured the old-style LEGO miming rather than dialogue taken from the films.

The LEGO Harry Potter Collection won’t be the only LEGO Harry Potter content released this year. The popular toys-to-life game LEGO Dimensions will be introducing the boy wizard to its players this year with a team pack comprising of Harry Potter, Lord Voldemort, Arthur Weasley’s flying Ford Anglia and the Hogwarts Express. A fun pack has also been confirmed featuring Hermione Granger, although the mini-build featured with the Hermione minifigure has yet to be announced.

2016 is proving to be a great year to be a Harry Potter fan, with the eighth Harry Potter story Harry Potter and the Cursed Child released in the form of a play and script book and Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them coming to cinemas this November. JK Rowling has also featured a trilogy of Hogwarts ebooks containing content from the official Harry Potter site Pottermore entitled Short Stories of Hogwarts: Of Power, Of Politics And Pesky Poltergeists, Hogwarts: AN Incomplete & Unreliable Guide and Short Stories Of Hogwarts: Of Heroism, Hardship And Dangerous Hobbies. The new ebooks are priced at £1.99 each.

The LEGO Harry Potter Collection is due to arrive on the PS4 via floo powder on the 21st October priced £39.99. It is currently unknown whether the collection will be released on other consoles but you can find the box art here:

 

The Oft-Kilter Romantic Comedy Manga Nisekoi Has Ended And Why It’s Worth The Read/Watch

The manga Nisekoi or False Love by Naoshi Komi is something that I have really enjoyed despite it not really being something I may have read when I first started watching Anime and reading Manga. As I have aged I have discovered so many different genres within these areas and have found enjoyment reading ones that caught my eye.

This romantic comedy about teenage love is something that was really fun to read. The characters all had their own thoughts and feelings that were clearly understood. Raku was a seemingly normal guy who just so happened to attract sweet ladies and that is part of what makes this so funny.

This story has many different facets of interesting ideas that play throughout the story. First of all Raku and Chitoge are of different sides of the same criminal coin. Raku is the son of a Japanese mobster and Chitoge is the daughter of more standard mobster. When these two are forced to date each other to make a treaty between families of course comedy ensues.

Raku and Chitoge have this big secret that they keep from everyone for a long while until eventually it is spilled. Of course this leads to drama as now Raku is really a free agent. Though that doesn’t mean everyone knows, it really is only the core group.

Amidst all this Raku is in love with his childhood friend Onodera. Eventually other women from his past like the sickly and jubilant Marika, Yui the head of the Char Siu mafia and Chitoge’s body guard Tsugumi come into the picture. Raku has no idea at first that they were all friends in the past during one magical summer.

This story intertwines these different characters because they were all once really good friends even if it was just for a short time. The idea of love is tied to a locked pendant Raku wears on his neck. Each of the women besides Tsugumi carries a key which may or may not unlock this pendant.

I really enjoyed this story because there were so many ways it could have ended. Though I would have been happier if another character had ended up with Raku I am also happy that he ended up with who he ended up with. Now I won’t go and spoil the ending for you, so you may be inclined to read all 229 chapters of this splendid manga.

If you enjoy, romantic comedy, sweets, mobsters, and an often times dramatic love story then you should check out this manga. Naoshi Komi is a wild and creative man who really has made something beautiful and really just give it a shot. I am excited to see what this man has in store for us with whatever manga he whips up next.

The Walking Dead Season 7 ‘Negan’ Trailer And Promo Pictures

A new trailer for ‘The Walking Dead’ focused completely on Negan (a.k.a the sadistic psychopath set to make all our lives a misery this October) has been released by AMC.

The trailer offers a few snippets of new footage, giving us short glimpses at how the Saviours are going to operate, as well as their base ‘The Sanctuary’. The trailer reinforces the idea that Negan is revered by his followers, with shots of Saviours kneeling down as he walked by. There were also a few shots of the Kingdom crew in there, currently incorporating Carol and Morgan, suggesting it might not be long before the two factions go up against each other.

Whilst it didn’t show us much, the trailer certainly helped further sell Negan as a significant threat going into this new season. The particularly ominous line “I am everywhere” should be enough to give anyone chills, and we can be sure our heroes aren’t gonna get any rest from this guy any time soon.

As well as this new trailer, AMC also released a slew of new promo pictures for the show. Again they don’t tell us much, but they tell us enough. There will be plenty of new locations in this upcoming season, as we get to know more about the inhabitants of The Kingdom, The Sanctuary and even The Hilltop. They even gave us a gruesome look at how The Saviours enjoy decorating their base.

You’re The Worst SN3 EP2 – ‘Fix Me, Dummy’

The second episode the third season of You’re the Worst begins with our friends Jimmy and Gretchen sitting on the couch. Jimmy has just sent out his book proposal to the publisher and gets a celebratory handy from his lady.

Jimmy goes into see the therapist with Gretchen, Gretchen is not up to therapy. But she is tasked to do one thing and Jimmy suggests she finally open the mail she has been putting off opening.

Lindsay stabbed Paul at the end of the last episode. Now, she is working to heal him and she clearly is not happy that he is such a whiner. She dumps the pills in her purse and heads out to see her friends.

Gretchen says she is quitting therapy because she was given homework. Clearly something else is bothering her, she just needs to face whatever it is head on.

Edgar gives Jimmy’s notes on his book proposal. But Jimmy won’t hear them as he just wanted Edgar’s praise.

Gretchen heads back to tell her therapist she is quitting therapy. The therapist reads through her bullshit and knows that she will regret her decision. In a beautiful moment she makes Gretchen think show weakness which she isn’t likely to do. Gretchen is such a visceral character and she clearly knows she needs help which is why this is such a poignant scene.

Jimmy begins fixing his piece with a bit of help from Edgar though he doesn’t want to admit it. He is upset that Edgar let Dorothy read his work which he says has already been sent in.

Gretchen and Lindsay sit outside the therapist’s office and eat Paul’s pills. Gretchen wants to egg her house but eventually falls asleep. When the therapist comes out Gretchen reveals she hates feeling vulnerable. With some talk about the therapist’s own problems with her boyfriend’s locking things down she makes Gretchen reevaluate stopping therapy.

Jimmy sits outside the moving truck with a group of people and talks about his book. His book is a little too above them but he does learn a little. Jimmy is the kind of guy who thrives on the big ideas. He wants to write the next classic and is often not totally honest with himself. But clearly he just wants to feel appreciated.

This was another great episode of You’re the Worst. Gretchen is clearly going to work on herself this season, and that is wonderful. I really do enjoy seeing characters especially one so set in her ways initially growing as a person.

Edgar helps the homeless veterans make signs to change their lives. He really is such an interesting character as he just wants to help people. He knows the struggle of coming home from war and wants to aid his fellow man. But he leaves his girlfriend Dorothy to move her stuff into her new place. When she comes to see him and he shows he cares she returns the favor and says they can use the boxes to make fresh signs.

Gretchen and Jimmy are both feeling down about their respective days. Gretchen opens up the mail like she promised and finds a letter from Jimmy’s sister. His father has died. He comes bounding in because his book idea has sold. This weight of knowing something so personal will certainly affect Gretchen. The way her eyes fill with emotion is so beautiful as she does really care about Jimmy and really doesn’t want to spoil his big moment.

Again just a stellar episode of this amazing show. This really is a show that makes use of its characters and makes them so real it almost hurts. I feel for these characters and that is the beauty of this show, characters so real you feel for them on an emotional level. I cannot wait for next week’s episode Bad News: Dude’s Dead.

 

If You Enjoy Nintendo, Nickelodeon, And Geeky Stuff Watch Chadtronic

I know this isn’t really the usual article you’d find on ye old Skatronixxx but here goes. I have a suggestion for all you YouTube viewers out there. Watch Chadtronic.

This guy is definitely capable of going places and I enjoy every video he posts. This guy is smart as a whip and deserves all the praise and admiration he gets.

Clearly he just does what he wants and thus gains viewers. He may kowtow a little here and there but he really does flow his own thoughts.

If you enjoy Nickelodeon and Nintendo I really must say you should watch his videos. He really is someone to watch because he is super hilarious and so witty.

So do yourself a favor and check out one of his videos. If it doesn’t put a smile on your face you must be a robot.

The Amazing World Of Gumball Is Ending…

The Amazing World of Gumball is a show that premiered around the time of Adventure Time and Regular Show. A show of that new era of Cartoonetwork.

I for one love the show and was saddened to hear that it was announced it will be ending.

It has been said by the creator Ben Boculet that the series will end after the 6th season which is thankfully 78 episodes away.

Even though I know I have much more Gumball to watch it saddens me that it going away just like Regular Show. At least we will still have reruns.

Breaking News: Underworld: Blood Wars Trailer Just Released

The war between Vampires and Lycans continues in the latest installment in the Underworld Saga, Underworld: Blood Wars.

The IMDB.com synopsis says: “Vampire death dealer, Selene fights to end the eternal war between the Lycan clan and the Vampire faction that betrayed her.” The trailer shows us that this film will be just as action packed as the first movie.  And it looks as if Selene is transforming.  If you recall, she is some sort of immortal hybrid after she drank the blood of the original immortal Alexander Corvinus in Underworld: Evolution.  Yet there seems to be no evidence of a return of Michael originally portrayed by Scott Speedman or if their daughter Eve is a part the new storyline.  Selene does have a new foe in Tobias Menzies (Outlander, Game of Thrones) who plays Marius, the new leader of the Lycan clans.

Kate Beckinsale returns as Selene along with Theo James (Divergent) as David and Charles Dance (Game of Thrones) as Thomas.    This will be the directorial debut for Anna Foerster who has also directed episodes of Outlander and Criminal Minds.

This will be the fifth movie in the Underworld Saga.  Underworld: Blood Wars is scheduled to release January 6, 2017 in the US

Crow Reboot Set To Start Filming January 2017

The Crow reboot is due to the big screen soon and is rumored to be starring Jason Momoa who is currently filming his part for Justice League as Aquaman the actor will head to the set of The Crow once filming has finished. Corin Hardy is reportedly back in the directors chair despite leaving in early 2016.

The Crow is based of a comic book by James O’Barr so this means that Momoa will go from comic book film to comic book film for some time as he is set to start filming the solo Aquaman film that is due for release in 2018.

Momoa will star as the lead role Eric Draven the lead role in the Brandon Lee adaption and the comic books. O’Barr has told fans that the reboot will definitely happen despite the production companies money issues that seems to have plagued the film since it was announced it would be rebooted.

O’Barr loved the original but stressed the following at a panel

“The new movie is not a remake of the Brandon Lee film. It’s going right back to the book; it’s like a literal page-for-page adaptation of the book.”

“The trains, the horses, the talking bird, all the visual metaphors. The death figures throughout the thing.”

O’Barr also told fans he also has “control of the soundtrack again,” O’Barr will also be working closely with the director on development of the film.

O’Barr also said “It’s going to be good, it’s going to be really good. And it’s going to be closer to Taxi Driver than to John Woo. The violence is supposed to be ugly, you know? I’m very happy with everything,”
