Do you smell what The Rock is...er, drinking? Because the wrestler-turned-actor is teaming up with Microsoft once more for an energy drink promotion and a free Xbox mini-fridge giveaway.
We shared a video of the Xbox mini-fridge in action yesterday, and now Microsoft is showing off exactly what the meme-fueled creation is for. In a new video, seen below, Microsoft shows off ZOA energy drinks for a healthier alternative to getting that brain spark back. In the video, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson can be seen opening up his brand-new Xbox mini-fridge while talking up the vitamin-enriched beverage:

He took to his own Twitter to share a less edited video with the added caption reflecting on his history with Microsoft. "I helped Bill Gates launch the first Xbox," his tweet reads before introducing the latest project he is a part of regarding the brand. With the tagline of "power up your gaming," the latest partnership is less of a focus on the cool fridge giveaway and more on advertising ZOA; an energy drink made by himself, Dany Garcia, Dave Rienzi, and John Shulman.
This is for all my gamers & creators!?? I helped @billgates launch the 1st XBOX & now it’s a pleasure to partner w/ @xbox to create the MOST ELECTRIFYING kit to power up your gaming skills you’ve ever seen! Sip your ZO...now let’s GO! @ZOAEnergy?#BelieveAchieveRepeat ?? pic.twitter.com/N2p6ygcL9C

ZOA is a blend of green tea and green unroasted coffee and boasts "superfood" ingredients like camu camu and acerola. It comes in the original flavor, as well as lemon-lime and orange varients. To enter for a chance to win a package filled with the ZOA energy drink and a special-edition Xbox Series X controller and mini-fridge, you can check out the official sweepstakes post right here.
So? Do you smell what The Rock is drinking? What do you think about the ZOA x Xbox collaboration? Sound off in the comment section below! If only to tell me that my jokes are bad.
Animal Crossing Horror Short Don’t Peek Being Adapted To Full Length Film
Written by Marcus Stewart 
Don’t Peek is a short horror film released on YouTube last year about a woman who encounters a malevolent spirit within Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Before you immediately declare this idea as “dumb”, I’d encourage you to give the short a chance as it’s actually kind of creepy. So much so that the concept is now being adapted into a full-fledged film.
Deadline reports that Timur Bekmambetov, who directed Wanted and produced Hardcore Henry, is turning his attention to Don’t Peek. The short film, written and directed by Julian Terry with a small production crew, was produced during quarantine last year and released online in October. The film was then selected as a part of film festival SXSW online, which is currently ongoing. Since the film was just announced, there’s no word on casting or a release window. Meanwhile, you can check out Don’t Peek down below.
Click here to watch embedded mediaI enjoyed the short film and am curious to see what an expanded take of it looks like, but the big question here is Nintendo’s involvement. One would imagine that this project would have to have the company’s blessing to proceed, assuming they keep the Animal Crossing element and don’t just replace it with a different game. Though one of the reasons Don’t Peek is effective is because the idea of something sinister lurking inside of an experience as innocent as Animal Crossing is unsettling. Still, I have a hard time believing the same company that frowns upon something as harmless as time-skipping would be cool with having its kid-friendly series associated with nightmares, but we'll see!
Animal Crossing: New Horizons continues to be a bottomless well of creative ideas, whether it be hilarious (and spoiler-y) homages to WandaVision. Meanwhile, if you just want to play Animal Crossing sans terrifying monsters, you can read the list of upcoming updates for the game here.
What do you make of Don’t Peek and do you think it can make a good feature film? Share your thoughts in the comments!
