In an effort to keep you posted on the latest and greatest Ninja Turtles rumors circulating the great ocean of Internet, we've dug up this little gem thanks to the good guys over at Screen Rant.(br /)(br /)Here's the scoop: A very reliable source who claimed to have gotten their hands on an actual TMNT script draft posted a Tweet that revealed the names "Krang", "The Technodrome", "Beebop", and "Rocksteady". Oh, and "Dimension X" is in there too. To longtime fans of the series, this list reads like an 80's kids dream come true. To everyone else, there's a trip to Wikipedia in your future.(br /)(br /)Of course, as with any rumor, we should all be expected to take it with a Technodrome-shaped grain of salt, whilst simultaneously spouting such details as though they are fact.(br /)(br /)Check out the link for the super-detailed version.

Most of the time I find myself repeating a string of "No's" followed by the occasional "Heck no!". UFC 148's purses are no exception.(br /)(br /)The big winner's this time around? Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin. While Ortiz went home with a paltry $250,000 Griffin walked away with $275,000 which included his $150,000 win bonus. Not bad for the scariest 15 minutes of your life. Still, to this I say if you add on another couple of zeroes I may agree to that fight.(br /)(br /)How about you dear reader? Would you take a trip to the emergency room for the chance at that kind of dough?(br /)(br /)You can check out the full list of payout amounts from UFC 148 at the link below.

Awesome looking environmental destruction/interaction, amazing visuals, oh, and I can play as Harley Quinn. 'nuff said.

The trailer above echoes that sentiment. While I'm still curious to see where this will land on the old review scales, every new trailer I watch for this game inches me closer and closer to a release day purchase.

So you may want to call in sick from work. Even if you're already at work, you should call out. If they say no, just make hissing-static noises and say speak in broken sentences. Then quietly sneak out the back. It probably won't work but what do you care? You're on your way to an awesome kung fu fest!(br /)(br /)So what are you're favorite Bruce Lee flicks?
