Be First To Play The Battle Of Jakku In Star Wars Battlefront
I can’t wait for the Star Wars Battlefront game to come out in two weeks. I played the BETA version last month and it was fantastic. It harkens back to the old Battlefront games. For those who haven’t heard about this game you can take part in epic Star Wars battles. You can feel the thud of an AT-AT stomping down on the frozen tundra of Hoth. Rebel forces firing blasters as Imperial speeder bikes zip through the lush forests of Endor. Intense dogfights between squadrons of X-wings and TIE fighters filling the skies.
Now you can be among the first players to experience the Battle of Jakku, the pivotal moment when the New Republic confronted key Imperial holdouts on a remote desert planet. Taking place in the aftermath of the Rebel victory in the Battle of Endor, players will experience the events that created the massive, battle-scarred landscape of Jakku shown in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Star Wars Battlefront is available November 17th on PS4, PC and Xbox One.
Check out the latest trailer for the game.

Rob Gronkowski Wants Candy From Stephen Colbert
What does Rob Gronkowski do in his spare time? He dresses up as iconic video games characters of course. The Patriots tight end showed up to do some trick-or-treating on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last week dressed as the video game character Master Chief from Halo to promote the new Halo 5: Guardians video game released this past week for Xbox One.
In the video below you will see Gronk, dressed in an authentic Master Chief costume as he hands out some copies Halo 5, pour candy all over himself and defended himself from a little ballerina who was critical of his play week four against Dallas.
I was just waiting for Gronk to smash the candy or video game on the floor like he does with the footballs he scores with each game. Does he do that? Watch the video to find out.

There are bar crawls and then there are bar crawls that are set up from Captain Morgan. Their latest one should be epic! Just let these next four words sink in with you. Cannon Blast Bar Crawl. Only Captain Morgan can add cannons to a bar crawl. The Captain is doing this by recruiting Brian “human cannonball” Miser.
The bar crawl will take place in Downtown Orlando on tomorrow, October 17th at approximately 6 p.m. Brian will be shot between multiple bars in Orlando for the first-ever and most epic Cannon Blast Bar Crawl. The event serves as the official launch and celebration of Captain Morgan Cannon Blast – the rum company’s latest shot innovation.
Throughout his professional career, Miser has performed more than 6,500 blasts and holds a world record for the only human to ever be shot into the air while on fire.

This stunt marks the first time ever that Miser will perform multiple blasts from different cannons on the same day.
