As Promised Samantha Aurelio’s “Sleep in Pieces”

A couple of days ago you will remember me posting Samantha Aurelio’s single “Learn the Hard Way” as a primer for her new releases come November 22, “Sleep in Pieces”. We’ll as Samantha promised the single was released on the 22 and you can go check it out through your digital vendor or through us here. “Sleep in Pieces”

I’m loving Samantha’s lower alto register, it provides a very smooth quality for her singles. The rhythm of “Sleep in Pieces” is nice and strong, but the lyrics themselves are melancholy. All around a well put together song that will capture a persons interest and have them singing along.

So without further ado here is Samantha Aurelio’s “Sleep in Pieces” through Spotify – Richard:

Konami and Hill and Knowlton Strategies is giving our listeners an earlier glance at what is coming to the Yu-Gi-Oh TCG. The new set is Duel Overload and it’s expected release date will be March 20.

Beyond the unprecedented arsenal of Link Monsters, you’ll also find new cards for fans of the Yu-Gi-Oh! movies: Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions and Yu-Gi-Oh! Bonds Beyond Time!

These cards have been chosen to help Duelists to bolster their existing Decks or build new Decks that they might be missing a critical piece of. For example, Duelists interested in building Cyberse Decks like Marincess from Rising Rampage and Chaos Impact, Mathmech from Mystic Fighters, or @Ignister from Ignition Assault, can find the all-purpose wildcard, Cynet Mining.

Each Duel Overload box comes with:

6 Duel Overload booster packs, each with 5 Ultra Rare cards per pack

Harley Quinn Animated Series Trailer

Okay you have been warned this trailer contains violence and adult language. So don’t watch it if that type of thing bothers you. That being said this trailer is hilarious and I wish we had the DC Universe app to watch the upcoming Harley Quinn animated series along with all the other shows we would love to see. Logan and I will have to watch this when it comes out on Blu-ray/DVD. Cannot wait, looks like so much fun! Check out the trailer through IGN’s YouTube channel – Richard:

Code 8 Trailer

This looks to be an interesting twist on the superhero genre. Code 8 kind of reminds me of what might take place in the X-Men universe, people with super powers are seen to be a threat and therefore must be held in check. This movie looks to be a superhero story wrapped in a heist story, for an interesting spin. This is due out in December. Here’s the trailer from Vertical Entertainment US YouTube channel:
