A new Tesla Model 3 Performance, likely a new ‘Ludicrous’, has been spotted being filmed for what appears to be a promotional video. For the last few months, we have been reporting on the exciting possibility of Tesla launching a new Model 3 Performance. When Tesla launched the new Model 3 with an updated design last year, the automaker only brought back the RWD Standard Range and Dual Motor Long Range versions of Model 3. The Model 3 Performance, which had been in the lineup for years, was gone.…

Somehow, someway, the common trend within the ever-popular horror genre has geared towards infamous children’s characters and folklore narratives being shifted and recreated as slasher movies. And while the concept is undoubtedly entertaining, there’s absolutely no denying that it’s also absolutely ludicrous. And yet, genuine intrigue and interest blossoming from die-hard spooky supporters is arguably at an all-time high — especially with the upcoming collection of projects that are set to unveil at separate points in…

Early next year, shooting starts for a sequel to the 1984 cult rock-mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap. It stars the actors who played the perma-delusional UK rockers back then: Michael McKean as hair-tossing frontman David St Hubbins; Christopher Guest as guitarist, Nigel “one louder” Tufnel; Harry Shearer as bassist Derek Smalls (“Hello, Cleveland!”). No drummers of course: they all perished, exploding on drum stools, dying in “freak gardening accidents”, and so on.Spinal Tap II has the same director, Rob Reiner, who also…

Rise of the Triad is a bit of a tough sell in today’s market. It was built on the same engine as Wolfenstein 3D, starting its life as a sequel to that. As such, it has many of the same strict drawbacks of that engine. Most notably, walls have to be at 90-degree angles, and the floors can’t change height. I’m personally more of a Blake Stone girl, myself. However, despite the way its development started and the shortcomings of its engine, the powerful collection of developers who crafted it has ensured that Rise of the…

Ludicrously late notice Apogee, Nightdive, and New Blood have announced that the console version of Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition will be delayed on console. No date has been given for when we can expect the game to hit Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, PS5, and Nintendo Switch, but the PC version is still expected to drop on July 31, 2023. Rise of the Triad was first released back in 1994 for DOS. It was a pretty ballsy move to release a game built on the Wolfenstein 3D engine after Doom took the forefront of…

Luna is selling a bike with specs that don’t seem to be possible. A 58-pound carbon-fiber full-suspension mountain bike with a Bafang M600 motor and a 48V 18.5Ah battery that somehow achieves 2.5kW of power. That makes it a recently marked down $4,000 mountain bike with light moto-like speed that can propel the bike past 30mph on flat dirt. I’ve been riding the Luna X2 with the $350 Ludicrous option for almost a year now, and I’ve grown to love this thing, but with some important caveats……

Up until very recently, director Stephen Campanelli’s Grand Isle shared the unwanted distinction of being Nicolas Cage’s worst-rated movie on Rotten Tomatoes, and one of just three from the Academy Award winner’s back catalogue stuck on zero percent. On the plus side, that meant there was technically nowhere to go but up, and a full two and a half years after its initial release in January of 2020, a critic finally decided to leave a positive review for the interminable action thriller to move it off the bottom of the…

Ludicrous speed! Go! Apogee Entertainment and New Blood Interactive have announced that a release date has been nailed down for Nightdive Studios Rise of the Triad: Ludicrous Edition. It’s set to launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on July 31, 2023. Originally intended to be a sequel to 1992’s seminal FPS, Wolfenstein 3D, Rise of the Triad absolutely pushed the game’s engine as far as it could go. I’m more of a fan of Blake Stone: Aliens of Gold, but it’s hard not to appreciate Rise of…

At some stage, you just have to accept reality and let things go, but the staunch backers of the SnyderVerse have either not gotten the memo, or refused to acknowledge its existence. Since James Gunn and Peter Safran assumed control of DC Studios, it’s become clear that the mythology originated by Zack Snyder a decade ago with Man of Steel was as good as dead, and yet the campaigns carry on regardless. While you have to credit the supporters for their commitment to the cause, flogging a dead horse isn’t going to change a…

James Cameron might claim that he doesn’t bear a grudge against the Marvel Cinematic Universe and superhero cinema in general, but the words that keep coming out of his mouth tend to say otherwise. Of course, the filmmaker has built his career on putting cold, hard, cash right where that mouth is, and Avatar: The Way of Water is holding up its end of the bargain on that front. Fresh from crossing a billion dollars at the box office in under two weeks – becoming the fifth-fastest film to do so in the process – the sci-fi…
