Based out of Adelaide, Australia, BEYOND MORTAL DREAMS’ EP Dreaming Death unearths savage incarnation of death metal darkness. Expect a merciless blast of desolate bestiality and epic devastation hitting hard on all frontiers. As cliché as that sounds, this is the real deal, kids. At only four songs long, this EP proved dynamite comes in small packages; it’s overflowing with creativity, skill and own vision of how death metal brutality should sound. It’s the understanding to the aesthetics of the genre going hand in hand with undeniable talent that allowed BEYOND MORTAL DREAMS to create such an unrestrained sonic assault.

I feel like this is Behesda’s answer to Naughty Dog’s “The Last of Us” but, we’ll see. Needless to say the trailer is creepy as shit. I can’t say that I’m surprised coming from the master mind behind Resident Evil. Check out the trailer below.

Those of us who are Zelda fans can say undoubtably that Zelda is the greatest franchise of all times. It challenges your problem solving, combat, and just plain tickles you in every gaming sense that it can. Personally, I can play through Ocarina of Time over and over again and never get sick of it. You can imagine my excitement when it came out for the 3DS. Well fellow Link followers, I have good news, or rather Nintendo does… A Link To The Past 2 has been announced for the 3DS!! Think you’ll be waiting years for it? Think again…. It’s coming out this fall.

Indie comics have been lowly regarded as nothing but second rate to the major companies for years. Artist and Writers struggle to individually produce their product out of their own pockets and push said product at booths within cons.

So we know that Benedict Cumberbatch is playing some flavor of villain. Khan or no Khan he’s releasing the fury. This is clear shown in the new trailer for Star Trek: Into Darkness that features him more and more as the promotional work goes on. I’m extremely excited. Does anyone else find it interesting though that J.J Abrams is doing Star Trek and Star Wars. There have been battles continuing since the dawn of both series about which was better. With the same director is there going to be a sway of judgement and argument? Who knows… But, here’s the pretty trailer for you to look at.
