Bubba Ray Dudley On New Day, NXT, & Returning to WWE
This Sunday, October 25th, live on the WWE Network, Brock Lesnar will face The Undertaker in the main event of Hell in a Cell. Also on the card: Seth Rollins will defend his WWE World Heavyweight Championship against Demon Kane, John Cena will hold a U.S. Title open challenge, and the Dudley Boyz will battle The New Day for the WWE Tag Team Championship.
After ten years away, Bubba Ray and D-Von returned to the WWE fold at the end of August and have been in the tag team title picture ever since. I recently spoke to Bubba Ray about what it was like to come back after so many years, his favorite tag teams, battling reigning champs The New Day, and the white hot hype surrounding NXT.

It's not uncommon to see Zen Studios rolling out new virtual pinball tables adapted from popular pop culture properties, but they normally do so one at a time – their latest release is a four-in-one, though!

These new tables are all available as in-app purchases through the existing Zen Pinball app, or you can get them all individually by clicking the links below. (After you check out their trailers, of course.)

Crunchyroll CEO Opens Up About New Production Partnership
Hot off the announcement that leading anime distributor Crunchyroll is partnering with Sumitomo Corporation to start producing anime series, IGN had the opportunity to ask a few questions to Crunchyroll co-founder and CEO Kun Gao about the partnership and what it means for the content Crunchyroll will be developing.
IGN: Are there any studios you're particularly interested in funding? Is there a "dream studio" you all would like to work with?
Gao: There are many premiere animation studios in Japan, and we are looking to work with all of them. Part of the appeal is that each studio excels at certain aspects of animation. Some are better at CGI, others at storytelling towards a particular audience, and some at high animation quality. We are excited to be able to work with all of them as part of this venture.

It's currently in alpha and available to download via Mediafire. He invites players to give constructive criticism and create let's plays to share their thoughts. Check it out in the video below.
