Preorder Dead Space 2, Get a Snazzy Rivet Gun
Want another way to slay countless unsuspecting Necromorphs when Dead Space 2 graces our eager consoles in January? Good, because GameStop has you in mind with their exclusive bonus that nets you a fancy little rivet gun when you preorder the game. Does this thing remind anyone else of the Noisy Cricket?
Dead Space 2 is out soon, January 25th to be precise (and I always enjoy being precise). So if you find yourself interested in this exciting new way to cause heaps of pain upon your enemies, I suggest you head past the jump so you can really get to know this classy new gun. 711-MarkCL Rivet Gun: The 711-MarkCL Rivet Gun is the latest refinement from Timson Tool’s long line of friendly tools. Thanks to the latest in machine action loading, the Rivet Gun is ready to fire as fast as you can pull the trigger. This allows for quick multiple rivets during narrow windows of alignment in tricky zero-G maneuvers. Minimized kickback and electromagnetic shielding provide safe, hot rivets in even the most delicate, or dangerous, of environments. Good for temporary patch jobs, or heavy duty hull repairs, this little workhorse will get you back to the stars in no time. Remember, safety should be on unless in use, and never point live mining tools at people or ship membranes.
Still want it? Of course you do, and it just so happens you can get it HERE.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that The Blob director Chuck Russell has passed away at 74 years old.
Russell’s career began with his directorial debut, 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors.
The multihyphenate film director, screenwriter, and producer is best known for helming 1994 comedy The Mask starring Jim Carrey, Arnold Schwarzenegger actioner Eraser, and adventure spinoff The Scorpion King. The latter served as the first leading role for Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
The filmmaker left an indelible mark on horror with his ANOES sequel, 1988’s The Blob, and 2000’s Bless the Child.
Russell’s final film credit is 2024’s Witchboard remake starring Madison Iseman (I Know What You Did Last Summer), Aaron Dominguez (Only Murders in the Building), and Jamie Campbell Bower (“Stranger Things”).
It marked Russell’s return to horror after a lengthy hiatus, and he shared sequel hopes to Bloody Disgusting in an interview ahead of the remake’s release: “I got to design the board with real mystical symbols and things that I know represent good and evil, and where that board takes us if the audiences respond to the film, and I hope they will; I know it’s out there for you guys, but the sequel is a world we’ll get to go a little further. That’s sure the intention.”
He also recently expressed interest in returning to the franchise that began his career.
TMZ notes that Russell passed away at his San Diego-area home.
We send our deepest condolences to Chuck Russell’s family, friends, and fans.
