The Early Access logo for Go Go Town! and the release logo. If you guessed that the colourful one is the current logo, you'd be wrong!

I wanted to mention a brand new combine harvester, but this had a 22 plate.

I did some real Graphic Design Is My Passion with this one.

A big K.O. from Street Fighter 2 dominates the middle of the image while below it an Xbox Series X, a PlayStation 5, and a Switch 2 all have knives apparently having been stabbed into them.
Littered between them are a Dreamcast, a 3DS XL, a NeoGeo, and a 3DO, all seemingly broken in half.
The background is an orange, smoke-filled, alien warzone.

Why does the title KINGDOM HEARTS Collection [I～III] have a tilde instead of a hyphen or en dash...?

The key art for KINGDOM HEARTS Collection [I～III], showing three versions of Sora flanked by Donald Duck and Goofy. The background is made up of locations from the games, with Mickey Mouse in the far back holding a keyblade up to the full moon

A panel from The Simpsons Comics. Fat Tony, Kerney, Dolph and Jimbo are in the background, Bart and Lisa are in the foreground, in the Legitimate Businessman's Social Club.
Lisa: Bart, these people are gangsters!
Bart: I don't like it eather, but organized crime is something society has to learn to live with... Like smallpox or polio!

Thames Water: "Please conserve water." Pictured is Thames Water not properly dealing with a leak for at least 21 months, as per a story on @banburyfm.com today banburyfm.com/news/call-fo...

A screenshot from Google Maps dated September 2024 showing water pooling on the road in question despite there being no water on other visible portions of road.

While doomscrolling I spotted some Nintendo glazing because they reassign employees instead of firing them. It allows people to make silly little demos and try fresh ideas instead of relying on established franchises, they said. Hmm.

A screenshot of the List of Nintendo Products Wikipedia page. It lists 22 Switch 2 games developed or licensed by Nintendo. The only games which are not part of established IP are:
Orbitals
The Duskbloods
Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour
Drag x Drive

My kid has read The Tell-Tale Heart for school, and Sparx Reader emailed with suggestions on what questions I could ask. "Would this book make a good series or film?" Bruh.

I've not been invited back to the Nintendo office since that time in 2019 when I attended wearing a Sonic The Hedgehog t-shirt. Or maybe it's because I was the only media person who didn't have a beard?

A photograph of me in a dark grey Sonic The Hedgehog t-shirt, wearing a black cap with an exclamation point on it. Behind me is a wall with the Super Smash Bros Ultimate key art on it.

Who could have guessed that this guy in Batman Arkham Origins' DLC was a bad guy?

A screenshot from Batman Arkham Origins of Ferris Boyle. He's stood with a cryogenic chamber in the background, which holds an ice-obscured figure in a flowing dress.
He looks exactly like US Health Secretary Kennedy.
"I mean, the police are never going to look at me after what you did! And with this bat-freak dead, there won't be anyone left to say otherwise."

Nobody mentions Bluesky devs.

"Well, until they fix the replicators it looks like we're all having waffles."

Not sure when this episode of Lower Decks: The Badgey Directive was written, but yeah.

A screen grab from the Lower Decks mobile game
Tendi (mislabeled as Rutherford) is looking cross.
"The replicators are broken. The only thing they can make is waffles!"

A screen grab from the Lower Decks mobile game
Rutherford is looking upset.
"I was in the mood for pancakes."

Mariner is looking curious next to a Vulcan-looking T'Lyn.
"So you hate waffles?"

A screen grab from the Lower Decks mobile game
Rutherford is looking cross.
"No, Mariner. That's a whole different thought. I just didn't feel like waffles today."

An unedited page from The Simpsons Comics 158, dated September 2009. Credits: Chuck Dixon, Phil Ortiz, Mike DeCarlo, Art Villanueva, Karen Bates, Bill Morrison

A page from The Simpsons Comics with 7 panels.
Homer (wearing a red baseball cap) sets fire to a cross in Ned Flanders' front garden while the Hibberts, Krusty and the Harlem Globetrotters look on horrified.
In the third panel Homer says "You broke the rules, Ned. All I'm doing is cleaning up this neighborhood!"

Just send them this image

This one also disappeared...

A screen grab of Bluesky showing a post from Mark Hamill. It reads:
I've posted this FOUR TIMES in theast hour. Each time it has mysteriously disappeared. Its the fifth time the charm?

This is what censorship looks like.

The image below is of a Bluesky post which contains two images, one is a tweet, the other is a photo of a green jacket which says "I really don't care".

~Swoleder-Man, Swoleder-Man, works out whenever he can. Pumps some weights, any size. Says that squats are great for thighs. Look out! There goes the Swoleder-Man.~

The cover of Spider-Man: Web of Doom, which shows an incredibly muscular Spider-Man with Spidey Sense lines above his head, and what appears to be a body in silhouette in the foreground.

I don't think Wizard Magazine was looking forward to the Mario movie

A paragraph from Wizard Magazine issue 14, dated October 1992.

"Bob Hoskins won the coveted role (NOT!) of the dumpy Mario Brother in Tri-Star's new live-action Super Mario Brothers feature film. Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel are directing (they need two directors?) from a script by Barry Morrow, based on the Nintendo game. Danny DeVito was up for the role, but he apparently went on to other projects. Wonder what?"

So weird that both Arknights: Endfield and Infinity Nikki have Red Riding Hood-themed banner updates...

The Endfield banner update titled Wolf Pearl, which features Rossi, a twin-tail sporting wolf-girl in a red hooded cloak

The Infinity Nikki banner update titled Wildfire, which features a woman in a red hooded cloak which has two pointed parts assumedly to cover wolf ears

Andrew Duncan@acelister· Mar 27

huh...

A screengrab of two tweets from @Acelister dated 25th August 2019
First tweet:
I'm wondering which superheroes in the Marvel comics universe still have secret identities. Namely because Marvel keep putting their names in the titles of their comics.
Miles Morales - Spider-Man
Tony Stark - Iron Man
Valkyrie - Jane Foster
Captain America: Steve Rogers

Second tweet:
If the next time Deadpool gets a second ongoing series, it's not called Deadpool - Wade Wilson, then I'm going to cry.

The cover for issue one of a comic titled Wade Wilson: Deadpool
It shows a close-up of Deadpool holding two bloody swords and grinning beneath his mask.

Also issue 11 of Wizard Magazine, which *even acknowledges the fact she's underage*.

A page from Wizard Magazine 11, with Wizard's Hunk Of The Month and Wizard's Babe Of The Month.
The top is Captain America (nude but for an American flag bathing suit) with a bikini wearing woman by his feet, while the background shows what appears to be the Savage Land.
The bottom shows Boom-Boom in a red bikini on a beach while behind her Cannonball looks shocked, while Rictor and Cable are checking her out.
The accompanying text reads:
BoomshackalackalackaBoom! NICE little bikini there. Geez, seeing Tabitha this way, it's no wonder she got the nickname Boom Boom. She may have the biggest mouth in the world, but in light of her other...assets, we're more than willing to put up with her wise cracks and snappy answers. Hmm...wonder if the Danger Room has a "jump rope" mode? Anyway, Boom Boom can be found "time-bombing" her enemies in the pages of X-Force every month, as well as making every head turn her way on whatever beach she sunbathes on. Boom Boom's an 8 on the babe-o-meter (a couple more years, and she's a 10 for sure).

Andrew Duncan@acelister· Mar 21

It was pretty hilarious, actually. *knock knock* Boom-Boom: "Hi, is this where the X-Men live?" "No, it's-" Rachel: "IT'S THE BEYONDER KILL HIM!" *X-Men in full costume immediately burst out the front door to attack Beyonder who's driving off in a flying convertible*

A page from Secret Wars II issue 5.
Beyonder takes Boom-Boom to the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, telling her that it's a school for mutants. She hesitantly goes and knocks on the door, which is opened by Pitor Rasputin.
The bottom two panels show Rachel Summers pointing at Beyonder sat in a car, then multiple X-Men/New Mutants rush outside to attack, shoving past Boom-Boom.

Andrew Duncan@acelister· Mar 21

Several years ago, I was reading 1985s Secret Wars II and wondering why it had never been reprinted as an omnibus edition, as it starts with an interesting idea: A god-like being wants to learn how to be human, tours the Marvel Universe learning from superheroes. 🧵

The cover of the first issue of the comic Secret Wars II, issue one in a nine-issue limited series.
The bottom and middle is made up of a shadow and the words "Who is the Beyonder?"
Around the shadow are various X-Men, the New Mutants, Iron Man, Captain America, and Magneto.

Andrew Duncan@acelister· Mar 20

I thought this would be harder to find 🤣

Two comic book panels showing a topless Spider-Man with an unconscious child on his back. They appear to be in a damaged building.

Caption 1: I can feel her settling on my back... the same feeling when I crawl up the side of a building.
Caption 2: Well THIS is going to same me no END of money buying backpacks. And best of all...

There is no third caption box.

Me seeing this character for the first time: "Well he's the most 'looks like he's voiced by Steve Blum' person ever." Moments later the character speaks: it's Steve Blum.
