Finally got around to watching Expend4bles earlier, and... yikes. I didn't think it could be worse than the PG-13-rated third movie, but I'd watch that ten times before I ever watch this one again. At least everyone involved got paid, I guess.

Fighting Games Friday: …in Waffle House!?
The meme could become a reality in Tekken, for understandable reasons. But emphasize “could.”

It's going to be a struggle to not read this "Eternal Strands" title as "Eternal Sonata" in my mind after seeing the Eternal and the capital "S" closely together. It's probably just me and maybe two other people with this issue, though, and I know it's weird. https://www.ign.com/articles/eternal-strands-announced-former-bioware-dragon-age-action-adventure-zelda-shadow-of-the-colossus-ign-first

Sorry, I just randomly started thinking about how good Katamari Damacy’s soundtrack was. And is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ENcKvDZwjOU

ICYMI I wrote about Dragon's Dogma 2's microtransactions, and how they're part of a Capcom pattern despite them not being necessary for the main game's completion, for @damagecontrolblog. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/03/examples-of-damage-control-in-gaming-microtransaction-dogma/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how instrumental Mutsumi Inomata's character designs were on a miniature level following her untimely passing. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/03/cognition-dissemination-mutsumi-inomata-will-be-missed-too/

This is a very "one, two, skip a few" recap of X-Men TAS, but I'm into it. The promotional campaign for X-Men '97 has been very good, and I'm kind of confident that the show will live up to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7qfstMhgD9U

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how and why Castlevania has been dead in the casket for a hair over a decade now, and why that hasn’t been so bad. I wouldn’t mind having it back, however. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/03/castlevania-dead-and-not-hating-it/

For every live-action adaptation of a cartoon or anime (I know they're the same) that turns out solid, there are around two that don't. There were hints that the Netflix Avatar adaptation was going in the wrong direction over the last bunch of weeks, and it's a shame that reviews are implying that's the case.

I somehow missed the news about Ys X coming west from earlier in the week, but that's cool. It's even coming earlier than predicted: Only about a year after the Japanese version. There was around a staggering 18-month gap for the localizations of the last two games.

It’s still funny that someone at Square Enix woke up and realized that they forgot to port the first Dragon Quest Builders game to Steam, which has to be the reason why it's only coming now. https://www.ign.com/articles/dragon-quest-builders-finally-coming-to-pc

ICYMI The Quarantine Control series on @damagecontrolblog hit the remarkable milestone of the 200th entry.

I'm looking forward to Kojima tackling a tactical espionage game without the Metal Gear branding and baggage, especially with how it's already been over eight years since MGSV. But the wait's going to be a long one.

The gap between Death Stranding 1 and 2 will be about six years, so we could be waiting for this until... 2030!? Damn.

I stayed up too late reading TVTropes pages, something I haven't done in years. I should have been in bed about 20 minutes ago, and I think I'll head there now, thank you.... after finishing a little more reading.

I needed a more instant Metroidvania fix after playing the Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown demo, so I finally started playing Hollow Knight. I'm not that far in, but I can already see why so many people were raving about this.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about what the expectations should be for the Hunter x Hunter: Zen x Impact 3-on-3 fighting game from Eighting and Bushiroad. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/01/fighting-games-friday-hunter-x-fighter-x-gatherer/ There's a little about Brian Cox here too.

I spent hours playing X-Men vs. Street Fighter in arcades and on home consoles, and even I'm blown away at never noticing how all the X-Men heroes cross their arms before performing their Super Combos. I really should have noticed it, though.

I think Game of Thrones stuff will be a good fit for animation, especially if at least one of them uses a style similar to Blue Eye Samurai's (which I've only seen the first episode of, to note). Well, IF these are green lit, which none of them have been. https://www.polygon.com/24022431/game-thrones-animated-show-george-rr-martin-blue-eye-samurai

Happy New Year, everyone! Looking at what's in store in 2024... yikes. Maybe we should just hope that we all survive the ordeal.

The overall Game Awards showcase was better this year, and the best Keighley Stream of the year. The second half was heavy on the CGI trailers, and the "awards" part felt even more abridged than previous streams.
