I'm glad a certain sand-themed dance anthem made by a certain DJ rhyming with "la nude" hasn't appeared in any of Spec Ops: The Line's trailers. But who am I kidding — terrible music choices sit squarely within the domain of multiplayer highlight reels.

Video Blips:

• Members of developer Yager Entertainment discuss Spec Ops: The Line's swirling sandtraps and moral sandstorms. The ubiquitous grit evidently makes weapons sound like fart noises as well. Damn those cheap American plastics!

Continue after the break for a very Bruce Campbell interview in The Amazing Spider-Man and a weekend celebration post-apocalyptic style in Krater.

 

• The only thing possibly topping The Amazing Spider-Man in both style and snark is — you guessed it — Bruce effin' Campbell. "What I did before the voice-over session was jump off a building, because…you know, I'm a method actor. I don't know if you know that." Comedy gold.

• When Sweden vanishes beneath the shadow of cataclysm, its survivors keep the old ways by celebrating Friday in Krater. I name this trailer's music genre "not-sure-if-dubstep." You heard it here first, folks.
