As Monday morphs into Tuesday, let us give the middle finger to our responsibilities and slack off for a little while. These freshly harvested memes combine a whole lot of our favorite things: the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Lord of the Rings, and more than a little bit of self-deprecating relatability. Have at 'em.

Where the last trailer for October's Venom left us wanting more, this one has us wondering "What if Venom, but too much?" While this incarnation of Venom looks considerably less campy than Topher Grace's Spider-Man 3 villain, the trailer has been met with a fair amount of criticism - and many, many memes. Some of them pretty raunchy. Let's see if Tom Hardy can fix this anti-hero's reputation.

First there was that time we all thought there was a Crash silhouette in the original PS4 announcement, then there was that time Shawn Layden wore a Crash shirt during his PlayStation Experience presentation and then didn't say anything about a game. Now PlayStation Middle East is tweeting a wanted poster for Crash.
It's been years, Sony. Just tell us if you've worked something out with Activision.
The results are in! This chart shows who the gaming public think are the absolute worst fans in gaming.

During an interview with Game News, Uncharted voice actor Nolan North said he didn't think fans want a movie based around the Indiana Jones-esque series.
North voices and does the motion capture work for the series' protagonist Nathan Drake.
Even if he's wrong, Sony's motion picture division might not be able to get the thing off the ground.
Sony announced a film adaptation of the property back in 2009 and have had a ton of trouble putting it together.
They still don't have a director for it, having courted David O. Russell, Neil Burger, Seth Gordon and more for the project.
And this past August, Sony pushed the release date back to 2017.
So, if you're right Mr. North (and you probably aren't), you won't be disappointed if the film never happens.

Your excuses are dwindling, you console hold outs.
Sony announced a permanent price cut for the Playstation 4 Oct. 8, lowering it to $349.99. That puts it on the same footing as Microsoft's Xbox One.
Since Sony's console has led this generation so far, it'll be interesting to see whether that lead will increase with the price drop or whether they cut it because of slipping ground.
Kotaku reported on it this morning:
Starting October 9, the PlayStation 4 will be a little cheaper in the U.S. and Canada. Oh goodie.
The PS4, which is currently $399.99 USD, will be marked down to $349.99 in the U.S., while in Canada, the console, which now costs $449.99 CAD, will be marked down to $429.99.
This appears to be for the 500GB HDD PlayStation 4 and follows hot on the heels of a price cut Japan got earlier this month.

You'll find multiple new outfits and weapons to add to your arsenal as well as additional magic to wield and add more variety to your combat strategy.
