I was afraid to look at the screen because I didn’t want to see Bo’ Rai Cho get sick.

Like many of you, me and my fellow Weekend Editor Sam Maggs and I were more than a little irked by the whole Ubisoft kerfuffle earlier this week. It almost made us forget about that long ago time (last Monday) when we were really excited about the stuff coming out of E3. Then we realized...we're still excited!

If you didn't already know, Mortal Kombat X got a trailer yesterday, and people seem pretty excited about it. I can understand why, seeing as the fight in the trailer is a lot of fun to watch, features fan-favorite characters, and is also incredibly pretty to look at, even when it's gross.

From director Kevin Tancharoen, of Mortal Kombat: Legacy fame (not to mention brother of SHIELD's Maurissa Tancharoen) comes another Machinima original. It's definitely got a sci-fi bent, I got a slight Portal vibe, but Tancharoen calls it, “a sci-fi, futuristic version of The Truman Show.” Besides Eliza Dushku doing what she does best, it also features a few other familiar faces. Are you following The Mary Sue on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, & Google +?

Anderson, and  The Hollywood Reporter says he's "making a period adventure movie and taking a Titanic approach, anchoring it with a love story." Oy.
