Bungie Might Develop Destiny For The PC

Halo fans should be well aware of Bungie’s upcoming video game Destiny that is described as the world’s first “shared-world shooter” set in a universe that will be “alive”, according to the developer. Meaning the events that will take place in Destiny won’t necessarily be planned by Bungie, which will ultimately create a new dynamic gameplay experience for gamers. The game’s style is also described as an “always-online FPS” that will incorporate massively multiplayer online game (MMO) elements. Those are the biggest selling points for the game that will be published by Activision on the PS3 and Xbox 360, including next-gen consoles such as Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

Now for those of you who own a PC that are anxious to know if Destiny will be developed for you should be happy to hear that Bungie is still considering a PC version. Community Manager Eric Osborne at Bungie broke the news with IGN earlier this week, but couldn’t confirm anything just yet.

“We haven’t said yes, and we haven’t said no,” Osborne said. “The more platforms we take on, the more work it ultimately becomes, and what we don’t want is to compromise the core experience on any platforms. We have a lot of people who play on PCs. We have a lot of appetite to build that experience. We haven’t announced it yet, but we’re looking forward to talking more about that kind of stuff in the future.”

The worldwide gameplay reveal for Destiny will take place during Sony’s 2013 Electronic Entertainment Expo briefing on June 10, 2013.

Oh my! It’s been quite a while since we dropped an update on the remake of Carrie, and we apologize for that because the film looks mighty promising. However, you may not feel like that if you haven’t seen the trailer for it yet, so we highly suggest you get off your lazy ass and check it out. We promise you’ll enjoy watching reinterpreted scenes from the classic in the remake directed by Kimberly Peirce starring Chloë Grace Moretz, Ansel Elgort, and Julianne Moore.

Unfortuntely, we don’t have anything exciting to share with you other than a slick new motion poster for Carrie that we came across earlier today. The digital poster is made up with a bunch of looped animated Gif’s, and it’s pretty gimmicky, but will any of you really care? I doubt so.

Carrie is slated for October 18th in the US and November 29th in the UK.

Carrie (2013)

The quiet suburb of Chamberlain, Maine is home to the deeply religious and conservative Margaret White (Moore) and her daughter Carrie (Moretz). Carrie is a sweet but meek outcast whom Margaret has sheltered from society. Gym teacher Miss Desjardin (Greer) tries in vain to protect Carrie from local mean girls led by the popular and haughty Chris Hargenson (Portia Doubleday, Youth in Revolt), but only Chris’ best friend, Sue Snell (Gabriella Wilde, The Three Musketeers), regrets their actions. In an effort to make amends, Sue asks her boyfriend, high school heartthrob Tommy Ross (newcomer Ansel Elgort), to take Carrie to prom. Pushed to the limit by her peers at the dance, Carrie unleashes telekinetic havoc.

The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence)

Earlier this week, we reported that Tom Six is finally getting ready to start filming The Human Centipede 3 (Final Sequence) in the Monterey Park area of Los Angeles, according to a permit filed with FilmL.A. Inc..

Now, thanks to a recent casting call notice (contains spoilers), new details on the final installment have surfaced that suggest the last piece of The Human Cenpitede saga may take place in a prison. In the notice below, men of all ages, sizes, and ethnicities are to play inmates in the film for a 13 day shoot in an actual prison.

Additionally, the actors chosen to take part in the final scene of the shoot are required to be comfortable in dropping down to their hands in knees to do the glamorous “human centipede” pose.

The Human Centipede 3 (Full Sequence)

HUMAN CENTIPEDE 3, a horror film, is looking for gentlemen of all ages, sizes, and ethnicities to play PRISON INMATES starting THURSDAY – MAY 16 in LOS ANGELES. These prisoners will work up to 13 DAYS between MAY 16 and JUNE 6. We will be shooting at a number of actual PRISONS in the LA area. Applicants can be expected to engage in regular prisoner activities like RIOTING, SCREAMING, and FIGHTING. However, this is a HUMAN CENTIPEDE movie. THERE WILL BE SOME SCENES TOWARDS THE END OF THE SHOOT REQUIRING PRISONERS TO BE PART OF THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE. Actors will be fully clothed, but will be asked to pose on their hands and knees rear end to mouth. Please do not apply if uncomfortable with this process.

Lastly, reports also suggest that actor Dieter Laser and Lawrence R. Harvey are returning in the franchise, but will play completely new villains.

The Human Centipede 3 is currently scheduled for a 2014 release through IFC films with no specific date set yet.

The main event features a rematch between UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez and Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva. At UFC 156, Silva dismantled Alistair Overeem in the final round, winning the bout via KO, earning the giant a title shot in the division. Some still feel Silva is a massive underdog going into this fight since only a year ago Velasquez pummulled him to a bloody mess. Just look up UFC 146 in Google to refresh your memory.

In the co-main event, former champion Junior dos Santos will meet the surging Mark Hunt, who recently had visa issues that could have forced him to pull out of the bout. UFC President Dana White later confirmed it wasn’t as big of an issue most media turned it out to be. If Dos Santos wins tomorrow night, expect him to be next in line for the heavyweight title shot.

The UFC 160 weigh-ins takes place today at 7 p.m. ET. Be sure to tune back to Yell! Magazine to watch it LIVE.

New Details On Tim Lambesis’ Arrest

It’s sad and shocking that frontman Tim Lambesis from As I Lay Dying has a shitty road ahead of him with lawyers and court dates for attempting to hire a hitman to murder his wife a few weeks ago. The entire situation is mind boggling to us because he is the friendliest metaller around, and we know that for a fact after numerous interviews.

Unfortunately, the details are still pretty limited and vague to the public, however new details released since his last appearance in court on Wednesday breaks down Tim’s final moments as a free man.

An anonymous witness recently came out with extra insight on Tim’s arrest in Oceanside, San Diego that took place on May 7, 2013. It was originally reported to the Sand Diego Reader.

“An employee of the Oceanside Barnes & Noble who did not want to be named recounted the May 7 bookstore bust of As I Lay Dying lead singer Tim Lambesis this way: “It was about 2 p.m. My buddy was outside the store doing face-painting and the cops told him that he needed to stop immediately and go inside. Tim [Lambesis] was there with a friend just browsing. I saw one special task-force cop, two regular officers, and two undercover officers. They just pushed everyone aside and handcuffed him. It all happened so fast. It seemed like they were planning it out for a long time.”

Additionally, Tim’s lawyer confirmed in court that he was using steroids before plotting the murder, and that those drugs were a cause of his irrational decision.

He went from 170 to 220-pounds and in his attorney’s words, “Was not the same person. He was irritable and lost God.” A forensic psychiatrist who consulted with the defense said Lambesis got “roid rage” after using steroids.

His attorney said Lambesis is now off steroids, going through withdrawal, and in total isolation in jail for protection from other inmates. He’s also getting personal counseling from a jail chaplain.

From the sound of things so far, Tim’s case isn’t looking good for him, and he could potentially face imprisonment up to 9 years in California, if convicted. He is currently being held at Vista Detention Facility in Vista with a $2 million dollar bail set, and his next court date is scheduled for June 10, 2013.

Alistair Overeem

It’s already close to two years since UFC heavyweight Alistair Overeem made his debut in the Octagon against Brock Lesnar, ultimately defeating the former heavyweight champion by TKO in 2:26 of the first round. It was an impressive win that night, which most people assumed would go his way considering his standup was far superior than Lesnar’s. Overeem stopped him with a vicious kick to the liver, and shortly after the fight Lesnar announced that he was going into retirement.

However, Overeem’s return after a post-fight suspension for a failed drug test was a huge upset against Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva because he completely dismissed the skills of “Bigfoot” before the fight even got started. Subsequently, an overconfident Overeem in the final round costed him a title shot. Silva KOd Overeem that night and “The Demolition Man” walked away from the Octagon in shame.

Overeem now needs to redeem himself and show the heavyweight division that he means business again. Another devastating loss like that could potentially hurt his MMA legacy, which he accomplished through his years in Dream, K-1, and STRIKEFORCE.

His next opponent, Travis Brown, may not be the biggest threat at the moment in the UFC heavyweight division, but another impressive win like Lesnar’s could put Overeem right back on track for the strap.

August 17 it is.. vs Travis Brown!UFC Boston, here we come!! twitter.com/Alistairoveree…

— Alistair Overeem (@Alistairovereem) May 23, 2013

MMA Fighting confirmed the booking of Overeem vs. Browne earlier today, and both men are set to square off inside the Octagon on the main card for UFC on FOX Sports 1, slated to take place at the TD Garden in Boston, Mass., on August 17, 2013.

Poltergeist Remake

My gut reaction to news of a movie being remade is usually, “it’s gonna suck.” Then I see it, and have been entertained at the very least.

Not so long ago, we informed you that Gil Kenan was attached to direct the Poltergeist remake and Sam Raimi was attached to produce. Well, that still hasn’t changed. The news now is that casting calls have begun and filming is scheduled to begin in September. Some plot details have been revealed as well, and it doesn’t sound promising.

Aside from a family moving into a new home, a daughter being taken, and psychics retrieving her, little else bears a resemblance to the Steven Spielberg/Tobe Hooper 1982 classic. And that’s just sad, because the original Poltergeist is one of the most terrifying films of all time.

The family’s name has now been changed (it’s Bowen instead of Freeling), there will be no Tangina character, and the team of paranormal investigators has been replaced by a team of paranormal investigators helmed by the ex-wife of the film’s father figure. Also, and this is really stupid sounding, Mrs. Bowen can communicate with the dead. Come on people, make us empathize with the characters who know nothing, because nothing is greater than the fear of the unknown. And, being an age of reality TV, we have to have that element in the film as well, so enter Carrigan Burke, the host of reality TV show Haunted House Cleaners.

I believe in modernizing classic, or not so classic, horror films for a new generation, but this sounds like a bastardization. Raimi had a hit with the Evil Dead remake, but I suspect the Poltergeist remake will bump its head on the shallow end of the pool.

As stated, filming is expected to begin in September, which means we could see the Poltergeist remake as soon as late 2014 or early 2015.

Exumer To Play Brooklyn

Exumer has a weird history, but one that’s created a cult-like following. Though they’ve technically been around for the better part of 30 years, they’ve never played New York City – until now. Actually, not until the announced show on September 21, 2013. If you live in North America, and love Exumer, you better find a way to get to NYC this September because this is the band’s only North American show in 2013. And since they haven’t played the U.S. in four years, we’re pretty sure you’re hungry for some German thrash.

Vocalist Mem V. Stein said:

“We are beyond thrilled to be finally playing in NYC. We haven’t played on North American soils since the Thrasho de Mayo festival in L.A., four years ago. New York is close to mine and our bassist’s hearts, since both of us live here and we have never brought the band to play in front our home crowd.”

Main support for the evening will come from Florida death metal act Malevelont Creation. The show will be at The Paper Box in Brooklyn, NY.
