Last week was an amazing news week, wasn’t it? So many notable announcements, reveals, debuts, and more took place last week, and as somebody who spends the majority of their time reading news articles, it was like a summer Christmas online. Some of my favorite posts from last week include our review of Nintendo’s online shooter, Splatoon, Akon’s plan to bring electricity to the 600 million people in Africa who still live without it, Disney’s cancellation of Tron 3, Sony and Marvel’s shortening of candidates for Spider-Man, James Wan officially on board for the Aquaman and Robotech film adaptations, Showtime’s announcement of their own streaming service, Bridjet’s debate over why blink-182’s Take Off Your Pants and Jacket is their best album, our top 10 episodes of Entourage, and semi-confirmation that Arrested Development is poised for a 2016 release on Netflix.
