Aaaaaaand it’s back! I haven’t wrote a trailer round up in about six months, so I’m sorry to the handful of you who actually looked forward to them. It’s really hard to keep up with all the trailers that are released regularly and after a few weeks of not putting anything together my laziness kicked in. But now that mentality is gone! Hopefully I will have some more free time now that I’m on a new project at work. I’m lead front-end developer for the project so I think that means I will have less to do, right? Right…? That’s not true at all. *sobs* It’s my first time as a lead developer and am scratching my head about who thought it was a good idea to put me in charge of something. Anyway, I’m ushering the return of the TRU! There were many amazing trailers last week and I’ve already wasted enough of your time with the introduction so let’s get to the trailers!
