I'm sure most of you were expecting to see the Mortal Kombat: Rebirth teaser that's been floating around the internet the past few days. Well, instead we have a trailer for the upcoming Mortal Kombat game that, I could only imagine, would have been announced at E3 next week. This year however, everyone seems to have wanted to let their cats out of their proverbial bags, so we're getting to see this stuff ahead of time — lucky us.

While the trailer certainly looks impressive, you have to wonder if the developer is taking its cues from Capcom — taking their classic 2D gameplay and giving it a shiny new 3D skin akin to Street Fighter 4. If you ask me though, that's probably a good thing. The recent entries into the series have done little in the way of innovate, and the concepts which seemed great in theory, ended up failing to impress in execution. Does this Mortal Kombat reboot have what it takes to bring the series back from the dead?  That remains to be seen, but this trailer is definitely a start.

White House says it is creating 'very large' dossier on Washington Post journalist and others.

    This is not okay.   For the record, I hate the phrase "This is not okay", but this is NOT okay.  To be fair, I'm certain that he's not the first POTUS to create dossiers on, well, anyone.  But this is an intimidation tactic, plain and simple.  I mean, POTUS is pretty fucking lazy, so there may not be any dossiers.        'Cept, his folks will have to do whatever he tells them to do either because it's their job or because of the allure of power...and maybe out of some sick form of civic duty.        As if gathering info of journalists in order to shut them up is patriotic.        Last I checked, it was the very antithesis of the American way .      November 2nd can't get here soon enough.         This is not a myth, POTUS.
