Watch a new scene from Pixar's 'Brave'

Although they are calling this a new trailer this is rather a two and a half minute clip from Brave. The film looks beautiful but the trailers aren't really getting me excited as the Pixar fan-boy in me expected. Between the lackluster trailers for John Carter and now Brave, I think Disney needs to get some new people on their trailer business.

Brave is scheduled for June 22nd this year and will have the Pixar short La Luna attached to it. You can also see a new poster for Brave here. Watch the trailer in glourious HD over at Apple trailers.

See the first gameplay trailer for 'Borderlands 2'

96.5% more wub wub coming September 18th. This new trailer shows off all four new characters; Salvador, Maya, Axton, Zero. The trailer also shows off some new side characters and the main bad guy. His chief sin is having a soul patch made of metal.

I really liked Borderlands but the complaints I had were a lack of side characters and missions that I actually cared about. It looks like in Borderlands 2 the world is more densely populated and there will be more characters to obtain missions from. Check out the bombastic trailer after the break.

'Community' returns March 15th

Six seasons and a movie! We're not quite there (and The Cape sure as shit isn't) but Community will be back to finish its third season on NBC on March 15th at 8 p.m.. The fate of the show's fourth season is still up in the air but hopefully after the out pouring of support, NBC execs might show some favor to the show.

In somewhat disheartening news, Parks and Recreation will be taking a 5 week break in 3 weeks time. The show will be back on April 19th to finish out its fourth season but now will air at 9:30 p.m..

The unplanned Community hiatus has certainly led me to see how antiquated and ridiculous Neilson ratings are. With users on Twitter and Facebook speaking out and causing a relatively big stink about this, my hope is that TV execs might turn to fans before giving the show the axe. The viewers are there for the most part, but by their methods, networks are blind to them.

New Portal merchandise is sure to open a portal in my wallet

I apologize for the title joke. But it is true. How am I not supposed to buy a replica Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device? Complete with blue and orange lights I might add. There will only be a limited run of 5,000 of these so act fast.

If you aren't down for such a big investment there are some smaller Portal themed merch to get your hands on. A tiny Wheatly or Turret LED flashlight might be more your speed. Or if you're feeling adventurous you can make your own GLaDOS potato with the Portal 2 PotatOS Science Kit. In the middle of writing this I pre-ordered the Portal gun, I have no self control.

Watch a full length CG trailer for 'Mass Effect 3' 'Take Earth Back'

Check out this stunning CG trailer for Mass Effect 3. The cinematic trailer sets up the fight to take back earth from a Reaper invasion. The trailer itself is very beautiful but I'm wondering exactly how much of a role Earth will actually play. From what I saw in the demo it seems as though you'll play one mission there then start planet hopping and not return until possibly the end of the game. I could be wrong though. Mass Effect 3 is in stores March 6th, 2012.
