LEGO Dimensions "Great Scott" Back to the Future Trailer

Christopher Lloyd has donned his Hawaiian shirt and blown-back hair once more in the latest trailer for Lego Dimensions, the upcoming Lego answer to toy-based franchises like Skylanders and Disney Infinity. The game mashes up characters, locations, objects, and scenarios from a wide range of disparate franchises, such as Lord of the Rings, Jurassic Park, Scooby Doo, Doctor Who, DC Comics, The Simpsons, Lego Ninjago, The Lego Movie, Portal — basically any and every franchise that Warner Bros. and TT Games can get their hands on, which is already quite a lot, impressively rivaling the wide reach of Disney for its Infinity games.

Doc Brown will get his own Fun Pack for the game, along with the train from Back to the Future III, which will cost you about $10. The second half of the trailer shows of Doc within the game, flying around on his little train and getting into hijinks with Gandalf, Superman, and The Lego Movie‘s Wyldestyle. Each of these imported play sets will have its own activities for you to play with, but it seems like the real fun will come from mixing and matching the components — imagine Gollum behind the wheel of a time-travelling DeLorean, or Homer Simpson with a portal gun.

Lego Dimensions comes to PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Wii U on September 27 with the release of the Starter Pack. Additional Level Packs, Team Packs, and Fun Packs will be added through at least 2016, and perhaps beyond if the game catches on.

Christopher Lloyd will also be heard later this year in the upcoming King’s Quest revival from Sierra and The Odd Gentlemen, starring as the old King Graham, narrating the game’s events from his younger days. He will be joined in that game by actors such as Wallace Shawn, Zelda Williams, and Tom Kenny.

There are a lot of great ways to disconnect from a screen, whether it's reading a book or playing some board games; you can do a lot of things to give your eyes and doomscrolling a rest. One great way to do it is to build some Lego, which is not only great for de-stressing but also a solid option if you're building something you're into, such as Thor's gauntlet or a Lego Technic Bugatti. That said, Lego does tend to get quite expensive, especially if you go for the bigger sets that are in IPs like Marvel, which is why we've gone out and collected some of our favorite Lego deals we could find out there. Or, if you'd rather stick to something more co-operative, you can check out these great board game deals as well.

The best Power Armor in Fallout 4 and where to find each set

From the very first Fallout game, the Power Armor has been every wastelander's dream to pilot. This hulking suit of armor can make your normally squishy Vault Dweller nigh unkillable in Fallout 4. But there's more than just one type of Power Armor, and each one has different stats and requirements to wear. Not only that, but some you might find one piece at a time and need to build yourself, while others can be found as a complete set. If you want to make even a Deathclaw think twice about attacking you, only the best Power Armor will do. Here are the best suits in Fallout 4 and where to find them.
Raider Power Armor

This is the only Power Armor in Fallout 4 that even a base-level player can wear right off the bat. While that's great, it does mean it's the weakest option out there. The best stats you can get with it are 500 damage resistance, 250 energy resistance, and 1,050 radiation resistance for a total rating of 1,800. It's great for the early game if you can snag one, but is quickly outclassed by everything else on this list. A guaranteed spawn for this armor is in the cave right beside Skylanes Flight 1665 on your map.
