That was just in theatres.
Naughty Dog gave us what could be a leading contender for Game of the Year with The Last of Us. Joel and Ellie's adventure through a ravaged United States is, without a doubt, one of the last greatest hits on the Playstation 3. Beyond: Two Souls is due out in a few months, so keep a weathered eye on the horizon.
E3 was nothing more than a dick-measuring contest between Sony and Microsoft. Needless to say, Sony bitch-slapped a then-DRM riddled console. With the announcement the PS4 would NOT require an always-online connection, thousands upon thousands of gamers flocked to the online stores to secure a pre-order with whatever exclusive titles. We finally saw the design of Sony's next-gen system and it honestly looked like two PS2s glued together. Ouya even made an E3 appearance...just not the kind they expected. Dudes, shell out the money if you want positive press instead of being booted off the island. It's only a cool $100? Awesome, I still want to see more gameplay footage.
Near the verge of going postal on negative gamers, Microsoft's Don Mattrick gave way to the extreme backlash with the Xbox One's always-online approach. In all honesty, what the f*ck were you dumbasses thinking? Granted, I didn't and still don't give a damn about the DRM requirement, but seriously? Go ahead and f*ck over the gaming community again, Microsoft. It may not be in the form of a beautifully bright red ring o' death, but you nearly made that muck up again. Your exclusives look great, but don't cut out the little gamer's chance to play these brilliant titles.
Oh, Nintendo made an appearance as well. Something about a new Super Smash Bros or whatever. Please...give up. You had your time, Mario....and Link, Samus, Fox, Luigi, Kirby, whoever else under the big red logo.

Marvel Now re-started Guardians of the Galaxy which is now on #4. DC's New 52 kicked off the new(er) Batman/Superman collaboration. Age of Ultron came to an end, Daredevil has a new look, Superman's pulling a Django and going unchained (see what I did there?), Deadpool Killustrated went trade paperback, and I've yet to read any of my several single issues.
I did finish Batman: The Killing Joke. Shame how I finally completed a graphic novel that's been around for twenty-five years.
So. Many. Comics.
While I only have a handful of paperbacks to burn through, my single issue collection is starting to bury me. July won't be any less cumbersome comic-wise as Deadpool Kills Deadpool starts next month. Luckily, there won't be any AAA video game titles launching in the coming months, so my full focus can be put on comics and the oh-so-shiny movies in the coming weeks. What movies, you ask?
The Lone Ranger, Despicable Me 2, Pacific Rim, The Wolverine, R.I.P.D., and Red 2
As The Late Duck moves into video format (don't worry, I'll still be here on the blog), more and more video discussions and/or reviews will start showing up. Our Youtube channel is finally up with few posts, but more content will come in the near future. The team's expanding gradually which only means the hangout chats get more and more interestingly off-topic.
If anyone at all reads this blog, you're welcome to join the ramblings on Google+ or check us out on Youtube. Like us, subscribe to us, tell your friends, and always remember...
Catch it late or on time only at The Late Duck.
