Boards of Canada have just confirmed that their first album in well over a decade, called Inferno, will be out on May 29th. I was already sold, but this cryptic 40-second-long teaser has me even more excited.

Get lost in the Labyrinth.

Some of the best explorations of virtual worlds come from anime, and up next is Labyrinth from director Shoji Kawamori. It centers on a high school student who gets trapped in her phone, only for a virtual doppelgänger to take over her life. It’s hitting theaters soon, but only for two days: May 10th and 11th.

“It’s just like the old one, but it’s newer.”

We already knew that a Spaceballs sequel was on the way, and now we have two very important pieces of information: the title and premiere date. It’s called Spaceballs: The New One and will be in theaters on April 23rd, 2027. Hopefully we get more videos of Mel Brooks in the lead up.

Can you watch the Street Fighter movie trailer? Shoryuken.

Video game adaptations have steadily been getting better, and in that way the first trailer for the Street Fighter movie looks like a remnant from an older, simpler time. I’m just glad the bonus stage car makes an appearance.
