A special double-sized edition – since the service I use to gather all these stories was down – this edition of the Daily Blast is jam packed full of goodness.
We’ve got the latest team-up of Rogen and Franco, the weirdest mech ever, an amazing NASA spaceship, and some more gaming news from E3.
Strap in, here is your DAILY BLAST!
