Gears 3: Execute your friends! Full scale retro-lancers for sale from EPIC?
I didn’t really believe it when I read it, but it’s true! On 9/13/2011 (one week before Gears of War 3 hit shelves) you can take home your very own Gears of War 3 – Retro Lancer! What is the reasoning behind selling it a week before the game’s 9/20 release? My sources say that the folks at EPIC were afraid that fans of the series would wildly attempt the charging retro-lancer execution on each other in the freaking Gamestop parking lot! Due to this fear they decided to release the lancer a week early on 9/13/2011 (purely for safety purposes). The last thing the world needs are a bunch of impaled nerds… Info below

INFO FROM EPIC
Dubbed the Retro Lancer during the Lambent Invasion, the Pendulum Wars Lancer Assault Rifle was the preceding model to the Lancer Assault Rift. Used primarily in the Pendulum Wars as the COG soldier’s primary choice weapon, it was abandoned about a year after Emergence Day because the weapon was ineffective to the Locust Horde’s fighting tactics. However, following the Sinking of Jacinto when supplies started becoming sparse, the Retro Lancer started cropping up in fighting forces once again

Comic-Con 2014: Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor with Troy Baker
I was lucky enough to talk to the cast and creators of Monlith’s upcoming action adventure RPG Middle Earth: Shadows of Mordor at this year’s Comic-Con in San Diego. Myself and other members of media peppered Michael de Plater (Director of Design), Christian Cantamessa (Lead Writer), and Troy Baker (voice of Talion), with questions about the upcoming title which is set to launch on September 28th. Baker, who gamers might recognize from starring roles in The Last of Us and Bioshock: Infinite, had some interesting things to say about the voicing the game’s protagonist Talion and just how important Tolkien’s work is to nerds everywhere.
