‘Final Fantasy VII’ Remake will be *Three* Full Sized Games
Well. I mean, there goes our trepidation about the FFVII being a piecemeal episodic adventure. Inserted, is our fear that Square will be mining the famous title for every last piece of material, in a Hobbit-esque nightmare extrapolation. Or, we could just be excited.
Producers: Emily Blunt, Benicio Del Toro & Josh Brolin returning for ‘Sicario 2’

Domino’s using *robots* to deliver pizzas in New Zealand
Nothing is going to scream post-apocalyptic RobotWasteland in a decade or so like your RobotPizzadeliveryMachine shooting you with its self-made laser cannon to kick off Their insurgency. I mean right?
‘Batman v Superman’ TV Spot: A Smoke Grenade Tricks Superman. Seriously.
