If you pre-order the game before November 14th then you’ll be able to secure yourself an Onyx Hippogriff Mount with your digital pre-order, and you can head over to the official Nintendo website right now for further screenshots and pricing information.

Blink-182 pay homage to The Ramones in ‘Dance with Me’ Video

by Leave a Comment

Blink-182 today paid homage to The Ramones with their latest music video for Dance With Me, dressed in full on Ramones cosplay and replicating some of the band’s most iconic moments.

Dance With Me is the fourth single released so far from their forthcoming ninth studio album One More Time…, following on from Edging, One More Time and More Than You Know.

Although previous single One More Time certainly has more sentimental value, Dance With Me is arguably the greatest song that the band has released from the album so far, complete with an incredibly catchy, supremely singable ‘Olé, Olé, Olé, Olé’, providing an instant earworm that sees the band return to their very brilliant best, penning the finest in incredibly catchy pop punk music.

Blink-182 are currently on tour across Europe, and if they choose to perform this one live at future dates then it’ll no doubt go down an absolute storm with the fans in attendance.
