We Got Tattooed at a Star Wars Convention For a Bet
There are loads of good reasons to get a tattoo: Just had your first child? Get a tattoo of its face. Your dog's just died? It can't be dead when it's tattooed on your arm. Your mate bets you that you won't get a tattoo? Also a reason to permanently scar yourself. And that's what happened to me.
A year ago, a friend and colleague of mine, Daniel Krupa, attended Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim. Unfortunately, I wasn't given the nod to go and therefore had to read about all the amazing things on offer at the show - including an on-site tattoo pavilion! I teased him at the time for not taking full advantage of the trip and getting himself a Star Wars themed tattoo, and over the year that followed he questioned whether I would've indeed taken advantage of such an activity. Then they brought Star Wars Celebration to London. The place where I live.
Quantum Break Steam Release Delayed
The Steam version and Timeless Collector's Edition of Quantum Break will now be released on September 29 — two weeks later than previously announced.
According to developer Remedy, the delay is "due to additional time required for mastering and manufacturing" the retail release of the Collector's Edition. The $40 USD/EUR special edition includes five game discs, a making of Blu-ray and book, a physical copy of the soundtrack, a double-sided poster, and a quickstart guide.
The action game/television show hybrid was released on Xbox One and Windows 10 earlier this year. IGN's review called it "an artistically distinct shooter, with a compelling and malleable plot and excellent performances from its main players in both their digital and live-action forms."
Creed’s Michael B. Jordan to Star in NBA 2K17
NBA 2K17's edition of MyCareer mode will star Creed lead, Michael B. Jordan.
Jordan will appear as Justice Young, an upcoming NBA star who becomes your created character's friend, as well as seemingly the source of some of the mode's story choices.
The latest MyCareer seems to step away from NBA 2K16's Spike Lee-helmed take on the mode, which featured a more rigid storyline, and a set lead character.
It's the latest in a growing line of NBA 2K celebrity tie-ins - aside from Lee's involvement last year, the series has previously had soundtracks curated by Jay Z and Pharrell Williams.

Sony Drops Uncharted Movie From Release Schedule
Sony Pictures has removed the Uncharted film from its upcoming release schedule, as noted by Comingsoon.net. The film was slated to arrive on June 30, 2017 before it was dropped.
In late July it was confirmed The Grey writer and director Joe Carnahan would pen the script for the Uncharted movie, although it didn’t appear he’d be helming it. At the time Carnahan declared he would “love to” direct the film as well but would not be able to unless production was pushed back, due to his commitment to the third Bad Boys film. There’s been no mention of Carnahan taking on Uncharted as director or if his existing directorial duties on Bad Boys For Life may explain Uncharted’s removal from the schedule.
