Old Lady Shows Off Her Game In Mortal Kombat
There is a ton of interactive parts in each stage in Mortal Kombat X. In one arena there is a sweet-looking old lady. You can find her in the Outworld Marketplace. The game allows you to throw her against your opponent. She also can be thrown at you. I guess that is what you get when you stand too close in Mortal Kombat.
Now it looks like she can also dish out some punches of her own. She can be used as a Brutality move in the game. One way is when she is flung in the air at the opponent. The other way is when she gets to throw in a few haymakers on the combatant. Don’t believe me? Check out the video below.

DC Comics “Legends Of Tomorrow” Looks Fantastic
If you are a fan of the CW hit shows “Arrow” and “The Flash” you are going to love the Flash/Arrow spin-off show called “Legends of Tomorrow” Below you can check out the trailer. It is pretty exciting.
The show will have these “heroes” fight the villain Vandal Savage. We also get to see Hawkgirl and Ray Palmer (The Atom). Sara Lance is back from the dead, apparently brought back via the Lazarus Pit. We see a glimpse of Harrison Wells / Eobard Thawne in some sort of time machine.
Even villains like Captain Cold added to the team should be pretty fun. The only part that is bad is that we have to wait until next year for the show to begin.

Check Out The First Trailer To FOX’s New Show The Frankenstein Code
FOX has a new show that looks like it could be really good. It is called “Frankenstein Code.” The show is from executive producer/writer Rand Ravich (“Life,” “Crisis”) and executive producer Howard Gordon (“Homeland,” “24”). The new show looks to do a modern reimagining of the Mary Shelley classic, about a man brought back to life by two scientists playing god.
The show looks to be set around seventy-five-year-old Jimmy Pritchard, who is a shell of his former self. A drinker, a womanizer and a father who always put work before family, Pritchard was forced to resign as L.A. County Sheriff for corrupt conduct more than a decade ago. Now, some 15 unkind years later, he is killed when he stumbles upon a robbery at the home of FBI Agent Ducal Pritchard, one of his three children. But death is surprisingly short for Jimmy, who is brought back to life by billionaire tech-genius twins Mary Goodwin and her brother Otto. They are the founders of the social networking empire, Lookinglass.
Resurrected as a younger version of himself, with physical abilities of which he never dreamed, a re-animated Pritchard is given a second chance at life. What will he do with it? Will he seek vengeance against those who killed him? Will he try to repair the damage he did to his family? Will he embrace a new sense of purpose or fall prey to old temptations?
Check out the trailer below.

Contestants will also come face-to-face with WWE icons including WWE Chairman & Chief Executive Officer Vince McMahon; Executive Vice President, Talent, Live Events & Creative, Paul “Triple H” Levesque; Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon; and WWE Superstar John Cena, among others.
“These athletes, each with varying skill sets, will be put through a grueling boot camp that will test their physical, mental and emotional limits in a way that the series hasn’t done before,” said Jessica Sebastian, Vice President of Unscripted Series, USA Network. “Each week, their training and experience culminates in a spectacular live event where they will be put in front of their WWE heroes and an audience of fans. In this reimagined version of WWE TOUGH ENOUGH only the best will survive.”
“This season of WWE Tough Enough will be the most innovative, unique and engaging series on television,” said Kevin Dunn, WWE Executive Producer. “A live global telecast, real-time voting with immediate results, and unprecedented use of digital and social media during and between telecasts will all lead to a groundbreaking viewing experience.
