Ubisoft have released a brand new trailer for the upcoming Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag
Michael B. Jordan (no, not the NBA legend/wannabe baseball player/Looney Toons co-star) is a name you need to get used to hearing quite a bit. The Chronicle star has been popping up on just about every single shortlist in Hollywood lately that asks for somebody possessed of a Y-chromosome.

Have you ever double-checked your doors at night because something just didn’t feel secure? …
