Wreck-It Ralph 2 Official Trailer

Ever wonder how Ralph and Vanellope actually get to the internet? And who do they meet once they’re there? A brand-new trailer is now available for “Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2.”

U.S. Release Date: Nov. 21, 2018

Voice cast: John C. Reilly, Sarah Silverman, Taraji P. Henson, Jack McBrayer, Jane Lynch, Alan Tudyk

Directors: Rich Moore, Phil Johnston

Producer: Clark Spencer

“Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2” leaves Litwak’s video arcade behind, venturing into the uncharted, expansive and thrilling world of the internet—which may or may not survive Ralph’s wrecking. Video game bad guy Ralph (voice of John C. Reilly) and fellow misfit Vanellope von Schweetz (voice of Sarah Silverman) must risk it all by traveling to the world wide web in search of a replacement part to save Vanellope’s video game, Sugar Rush. In way over their heads, Ralph and Vanellope rely on the citizens of the internet—the netizens—to help navigate their way, including a webite entrepreneur named Yesss (voice of Taraji P. Henson), who is the head algorithm and the heart and soul of trend-making site “BuzzzTube.” Directed by Rich Moore (“Zootopia,” “Wreck-It Ralph”) and Phil Johnston (co-writer “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Cedar Rapids,” co-writer “Zootopia,”), and produced by Clark Spencer (“Zootopia,” “Wreck-It Ralph,” “Bolt”), “Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-Ralph 2” hits theaters on Nov. 21, 2018.

Universal Studios Celebrates Christmas in Spring Event

It was Christmas in Spring for hundreds of families this past Saturday at the M.E.N.D. Facility in Pacoima where, once again, they hosted Universal Studios’ Christmas in Spring charity event. Christmas in Spring was created by Universal Studios in order to help out impoverished families living in Southern California. The event, now in its 27th year, has helped over 16,000 people since its inception. This year, the event allowed these families to enjoy an afternoon of custom-prepared food and interactive festivities, from carnival games and face painters to a live DJ. The best part about Christmas in Spring, aside from those it helps of course, is that it is manned by volunteer Universal Studios employees!

SIG Sauer P320 ASP CO2 Air Pistol Review

One of my favorite things about SIG Sauer is that they like support their products in not only “real steel” versions, but also in air pistol and air soft categories as well. We recently got the chance to take a look at their SIG Sauer P320 ASP CO2 air pistol and had an absolute blast while doing so. Externally, the SIG Sauer P320 ASP CO2 is a beautifully-made recreation of SIG Sauer’s P32o pistol – at least, at first glance. The metal slide and polymer frame have nice weight and the feel is incredible – but, of course, that is because the frame has been modeled after the real steel version of the P320. The ergonomics are incredible and have to be felt to be believed.

Unfortunately, in terms of realistic operation, the SIG Sauer P320 ASP CO2 air pistol does suffer. The ejection port is merely cosmetic, and is simply a depression in the metal slide. The takedown level does nothing, and there is no slide catch system. However, the slide does cycle while shooting, which is nice and offers a slight bit of recoil which helps with your muscle memory. There is a safety located on the left side of the slide, which acts a bit differently than I expected as you can still squeeze the trigger when enabled, however it does not shoot. These air pistols are a great way to practice shooting fundamentals like recoil control while not shooting through hundreds of dollars in real ammunition at a firing range. Plus, you can shoot these in the privacy of your own home or backyard! The SIG Sauer P320 ASP CO2 also features an under barrel rail system for flash lights, lasers, etc which is a nice option should you need them.

Will the real P320 please stand up? (Click to make big)

The SIG Sauer P320 ASP CO2 air pistol holds one magazine with a 30 round capacity and makes use of a rotary belt to cycle through all of the contained BBs or pellets. More to that, the SIG Sauer P320 ASP CO2 air pistol rums on 4.5mm steel BBs or, my personal preference, .177 caliber pellets. Loading the magazine takes a little bit of time but isn’t too bad once you get the hang of it. The GOOD thing about using 4.5mm BB’s instead of the .177 pellets is that they do load a lot easier into the magazine’s rotary belt, but I digress. During our shooting tests, the magazine cycled without issues using both types ammunition, however the pellets seemed to be slightly more accurate than the BBs.

Powering the operation of the SIG Sauer P320 ASP CO2 air pistol is one 12g CO2 cartridge which loads inside the pistol grip. The CO2 loading mechanism is really good in this air pistol. Once the back strap and faux magazine base plate are removed (they simply rotate out), you have access to the CO2 chamber. Built right into the frame of the pistol grip is a rotating bolt that will lock and pierce the CO2 cartridge in-place. I intentionally went through a handful of cartridges during my testing and none of them leaked whatsoever – and that was without any sort of gasket lubrication!

SIG Sauer has crafted a very good recreation of their P320 handgun in this air pistol. While it doesn’t feature some of the realistic features that some air pistol shooters desire, it is an excellent recreation of the P320 pistol with good weight and feel as well as accuracy. Plus, its magazine design works well with both BBs and pellets, so you have some options there. The SIG Sauer P320 ASP CO2 air pistol retails for about $120 dollars and is available now at several online retailers.

Crossout Celebrates 1 Year

Thursday, May 31, 2018 — Today, the post-apocalyptic online action game Crossout from Gaijin Entertainment and Targem Games celebrates its one-year anniversary in Open Beta.  From May 31 to June 7, all players who log into Crossout will receive a mountable fireworks launcher and any player who wins multiple battles can earn exclusives such as decorative parts and decals.

Since the Crossout’s May 30, 2017 launch, we added three new factions, released hundreds of new parts, dozens of weapons, eight new locations, and 12 new gameplay modes including “Battle Royale”. The heart of Crossout is all about intense battles and customization, creating the perfect death dealing machine from parts earned on the battlefield, handcrafted from resources, or purchased on the Crossout marketplace. Tens of millions of vehicle variants have been constructed since launch, from crazy-small trikes to massive lumbering tanks and hovering Sci-Fi gunships. Based on all of the community crafted vehicles that have competed in hundreds of millions of combat missions, we have crafted a new vehicle using only the most popular parts. We call it the ‘Blendorama’.

The Blendorama possesses two of the most popular in-game weapons, the ‘MM5-4 Vector’ machine gun and the ‘AC43 Rapier’ automatic cannon. On the battlefield, players have preferred vehicles that possess a combination of speed and maneuverability, and so lightweight cabins that offer plenty of energy for weapons without slowing down their vehicle are very popular. The most popular lightweight cabin has been the ‘Growl’ cabin, used together with wheels as the favorite choice for propulsion.

Two more parts that players can’t seem to battle without are a radio to increase detection range of enemies and a fuel barrel attached to their vehicle. The fuel barrel is interesting, as it allows players to collect fuel from destroyed enemies after battle, but it comes with a super high risk of explosion if hit. The most picked faction are, quite fittingly, the murderous Lunatics, followed by the hard-hitting Scavengers and enigmatic Nomads.

Year Two in Crossout promises the addition of new game modes, new story missions, and even more parts and weapons to use to craft your vehicle.
