Video Blips:

• This super-short teaser for Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood delivers an impromptu tour of dimly lit office cubicles. How exciting -- I can hardly wait for next week's reveal of the water cooler. [GameTrailers]

Continue after the break for a brief how-to on running the ball in Backbreaker, the appearance of BlazBlue: Continuum Shift on American shores, and an unquestionably familiar song from Green Day: Rock Band.

• Learn how to avoid a bunch of burly men colliding into you in this look at running in Backbreaker. The fashion-show soundtrack lends a certain degree of ambivalence while tackling someone, however. [YouTube]

• As a BlazBlue newbie, this Continuum Shift trailer left me slightly confused. Who are these people? And where are they? [GameTrailers]

• If you haven't heard Green Day's "When I Come Around" on the radio or elsewhere, you've probably resigned from the human race. Actually, the same goes for most of the songs on the Dookie album. [GameVideos]
