What Did You Think of Undertaker’s Return at Battleground?
*GONG*
That's what happened last night at Battleground in the main even after a dominant Brock Lesnar gave WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins a dozen or so suplexes and then planted him with the F-5. A second away from a three count, darkness filled the arena. When the lights popped back on, Rollins was gone and The Undertaker stood in the ring, ready to exact revenge on Brock for ending his legendary WrestleMania winning streak back in 2014.

Rick and Morty’s Season Premiere is This Week’s TV Highlight

Rising Thunder: The PC Fighting Game Made for Your Keyboard
Because the genre itself is extremely hardcore, the fighting game community is almost impenetrable for amateur enthusiasts. But the Evolution Championship Series, the biggest annual fighting game tournament, is the big barrier-breaker. EVO can wrap up almost any viewer like most folks can bandwagon onto the Super Bowl.
The casual sort that wishes they could execute on the complexities of professional play, who get excited and involved because of the accessibility of EVO, deserve a fighting game that’s more accessible than the incredibly dense, challenging games they enjoy watching. Radiant Entertainment is exactly the right studio to bear this burden.
Rising Thunder is the fighting game built by the fighting game community’s most enthusiastic leaders, and it’s been built specifically to address what’s wrong with the genre. EVO founders Tom and Tony Cannon have partnered with game designer Seth Killian, who worked on both community and combat for Street Fighter before leaving Sony Santa Monica, to make something that’s competitive without isolating anyone.

Tesla’s New Mode is Ludicrous
Tesla has announced that its Model S will be getting a 'Ludicrous Mode'.
The Tesla Model S P85D already had an 'Insane Mode', but Ludicrous makes the Model S even faster. Now it can go from 0-60 MPH in 2.8 seconds, and can complete a quarter mile in 10.9 seconds.
To account for this new acceleration, the two engines now have a combined 762 horsepower.
Tesla owner Elon Musk joked in a press release that an even faster speed would be coming in the next car: "maximum plaid."
The battery pack which adds Ludicrous Mode to the Model S will be available to existing owners at $5,000 for the next six months. New owners will have to pay $10,000.
