So, uh, that new DOOM is looking pretty cool.

Battlbox – October Unboxing
October 21st, 2015
Battlbox is another contender in the somewhat recent trend of monthly subscription boxes. As stated on the packaging, Battlbox offers “survival & tactical gear”, such as paracord, knives, water purification, packs, compasses, etc.
For October, Battlbox opted to make a ‘Halloween-themed’ box, which when paired with anything remotely “tactical” means zombies, zombies, and more zombies, and for the most part this box delivers in that regard. Again, it’s full of cushioning straw, so if you get your own box, be sure to open it somewhere you don’t mind getting a bit messy.
Battlbox works on a tier system. Customers are free to pay one of four flat fees per month to receive the appropriate level box. The tiers are: Basic, Advanced, Pro, and Pro Plus-KOTM (Knife of the Month). We sprung for the highest tier, Pro Plus-KOTM, to see everything that could be offered within a box. Included with the October box, within the appropriate tier levels, is:
Basic
Advanced
Pro
Pro+KOTM
All in all, not a bad box. The MoraKniv is definitely the highlight item, although the SOG Survival Hawk isn’t bad, either, and the paracord and associated survival materials are still functional, even if they are zombie themed.
Also, for those curious about the energy drink, it seems to be faintly berry-flavored. Not bad.
Dumpbox – Back To The Future Morale Patches
October 21st, 2015
Today is ‘Back to the Future’ Day, or the day that Marty and Doc traveled to the future in BttF 2. In celebration, Dumpbox has released some new BttF-themed patches. Personally, I’m partial to the “Eat Lead, Slacker” patch, but the hoverboards are pretty cool as well.
Venture Bros. Season 6 Trailer
October 20th, 2015With Venture Bros. Season 6 slated for an early February 2016 release, a trailer for the upcoming season has surfaced on the interwebs. The Venture family is moving to New York to take over Jonas Venture Jr.’s company after his untimely death, and it also looks like there’s going to be a lot more parodies of Marvel properties, especially considering the greater focus on Spider-Man expy Brown Widow, and the seemingly crossdressing Captain America expy as well.
In any case, I can’t wait!
Adventure Force – Detonator
October 20th, 2015
The Adventure Force ‘Detonator’ (The Rifle of Detonating – says it right on the package) is a thin, foam toy rifle that makes automatic fire sounds when you pull the trigger. If Minecraft had a rifle, it’d look exactly like this. Might be a good option for general play, or accompanying a child’s Halloween costume if they’re dressed up as a Soldier.
Adventure Force doesn’t have their own website, but you can typically find their products at either Wal-Mart, or on Amazon.

Adidas – Tubular GSG9 Shoes
October 19th, 2015
These new shoes from Adidas are kinda interesting looking, with an upper that looks a bit like a tactical boot, and a tubular outsole. The upper features Cordura nylon with shaggy suede overlays, and a debossed tongue logo.
Receiver
October 18th, 2015Receiver is a game by Wolfire Games that was created for the “…7-day FPS challenge to explore gun handling mechanics, randomized levels, and unordered storytelling.” Most First Person Shooters, and video games in general, simplify and automate the process of loading and operating a firearm to make the experience more enjoyable for the player. Receiver, on the other hand, randomly assigns the player one of three handguns, and requires they be treated exactly like they would in real life: players have to manipulate the safety, pull back the slide to check if there’s a round in the chamber, and even have to check the magazine to see their round count.

Zombie Tinder
October 12th, 2015
Yeah, I know, zombies. To be fair, though these do look like a pretty good bit of tinder to bring with you on any outdoor excursions or for an emergency kit:
– Waterproof
– Non-toxic
– All weather fire
– Never expires
– 1600 ºF burn temperature
Plus, they look like eyeballs, and they’re made by hand in the USA.

World Of Tanks Premieres First Brazilian-Themed Hero Tank on Console
October 8th, 2015
October 8, 2015 — Wargaming introduces the very first Brazilian-themed hero tank in the free-to-play smash hit World of Tanks on Xbox One and Xbox 360. The release of the Tier VIII M41B Brazilian Bulldog or “M41B Pracinha” aligns with Wargaming’s presence at Brazil Game Show and will be offered globally beginning today through October 23.
The M41B “Pracinha” name is a reference to the members of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force (FEB) who participated in major battles during World War II such as the Battle of Monte Castello. This patriotic tank features a special Brazilian fighting force emblem, the smoking snake. This emblem pays homage to the historical FEB rallying cry. This agile and quick high-tier US light tank features a wholly custom camouflage and excels at locating and evading the enemy. Of course, Pracinha also proudly and prominently displays the Brazilian flag.

Far Cry Primal
October 6th, 2015Far Cry Primal is a Stone Age-set take on the Far Cry series, trading in the contemporary setting, weapons, and animals of the previous games and replacing them with a post Ice Age world, bows and spears, and woolly mammoths. Kinda seems like it would be better as a Blood Dragon-esque expansion rather than a full game, but only time will tell.
Far Cry Primal drops February 23, 2016.
