I hop on socials to look up and talk about comic books (X-Men!), video games (the Xeno series!), anime (Gundam!), Major League Baseball (Go Yankees!), college football (Go Dawgs!), The Muppets or whatever other topic(s) tickles my fancy!
Post some of your favorite female video game characters for International Women's Day!
Post a favorite game that got <76 on Metacritic. Squeaking in at 75 is the PS2 version of #LegacyOfKain: Defiance! I know it has camera issues and the combat could use a hair more depth, but the game is tons of fun and, more importantly, concludes the story of LoK as cleanly as it could... 1/2
I like Episodes of South Town in #FatalFury, but it could've been so much more. It's like the devs looked at Street Fighter Alpha 3's World Tour mode and said, "Slap some minor story bits in there, and that's good enough." Give me some variety instead of just even more fights... 1/2
What four classic video games do you find yourself replaying no matter how old they are? In no particular order:
Lookie what just arrived from @wayorecords.bsky.social! A great looking album, if I do say so myself.
Yup, this sounds right. If Nintendo had such a feature, it'd be ALL Castlevania with a smidge of Xenoblade Chronicles X DE.
Nintendo Today acknowledged my birthday with DK goodness but continued to not put Xenoblade stuff on there. For shame.
These kinda beatdowns don't happen often so I enjoy the HELL out of 'em when they do. How 'bout them DAWGS?!
I'm doing this again because I could use the mental exercise. If you see this post, show 4 of your favorite games!
The PS2 turns 25 today. These are my 4 favorite games from said console.
I might be forgetting someone, but I have a hard time believing I'd like them more than Hope Summers.
Thinking about #FatalFury and a potential second season pass. If it were up to me, these would be my five roster additions: -Rick Strowd -Kim Jae Hoon -Blue Mary -Mr. Karate 2 (Ryo Sakazaki) -Alice Nakata I know Alice was in KoF XIV, but I really want her in Fatal Fury proper.
On this day 25 years ago, #X-Men released in theatres. I saw it twice that day and innumerable times since. I still love it. I unknowingly (at the time) visited where a lot of the mansion scenes were filmed earlier this year: Casa Loma in Toronto! It was awesome to randomly stumble upon that fact.
I wouldn't tell anyone if I won the lottery, but there would be signs...
I picked up the Glory: Who Wrote the Book of Love trade on Free Comic Book Day and got around to reading it yesterday. It collects the first four issues of the '95 series, and WOW is it such a time capsule. It's got some pretty (if VERY early Image) Mike Deodato art, but the plot and characters?
