Samwise the Not-So Brave

I'm not talking about hype: that comes from the audience. I'm talking about marketing. There's a difference.

It just seems a little odd that I'm not seeing more promotion with less than a month until launch. I'm not saying anything more than that.

Why does it feel like this game is almost getting shadow dropped? Outside Nintendo Directs, there's hardly been any buzz or talk about it.

Maybe I'm just not seeing it, but it feels like Dread got way more of a push.

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

You're giving the guy a lot of credit with that capital "h."

It's a great game: I recommend it.

Also, I didn't know about this so thanks for the heads up!

Had it and LOVED it. It has quite possibly the most Y2K aesthetic of all time.

Mamdani is going to implement Shanoa Law, erasing our memories, making sure we never smile again, and causing Dracula's Castle to appear on 5th avenue #Castlevania

I decided it's Neo Geo November - which basically means I'm drawing Neo Geo characters this month for fun.

Starting with Hiromi Mita from WindJammers! Because why not. I'm not the best at WindJammers, but it sure is a fun as hell game. #neogeonov

Yeah, Futurama has definitely had diminishing returns on its numerous restarts. Each time it comes back, the miss-to-hit ratio increases by 40%.

It's always interesting seeing those movie costumes depicted by comic artists.

One day, I'll give in and get this from B&N, but it won't be today.

The development studio for 'X2: Wolverine’s Revenge' - Bruntwood Hall, Cheadle, Manchester (2002). This is where we developed the game - on the top floor, formerly the servant's quarters. I'm at the back popping up my head to see what's going on. That arched window is where we are located - top left

Intuit, parent company of TurboTax, donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Always follow the money.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

I just beat #Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, and it was pretty good. The story was boilerplate, but the gameplay was pretty solid.

I liked the DSS system, but it requires grinding to get the most out of it. I only did that for the Pluto card so I could more easily beat the final boss.

Underworld. Love that series.

“X-Men who could challenge the Predator”

All of them. Look at me. Look at me in my eyes: every x-men character could defeat the Predator. Solo. That’s why different stories are different.

I'm doing this again because I could use the mental exercise.

If you see this post, show 4 of your favorite games!

If there's a dumbass idea out there, you can bet Square Enix will jump right on it.

My current proclivities hedge more toward traditional action than metroidvania.

However, I wouldn't complain with either outcome. That said, my dream game would be sprite-based. A fever dream, I know, but still.

I've been playing a lot of #Castlevania lately and started thinking. If Konami made a new entry, what kind of game should it be?

Should be it a 3D action game like Lords of Shadow? A soulslike ala Bloodborne? A 2D metroidvania? A 2D action platformer like the OG?

Last year after the election, I reflected: "When we fight, we win—but sometimes the fight takes awhile."

Last night, we saw Democratic victories across our nation. I am so proud of these enthusiastic, principled, inspirational leaders who will continue to fight for our nation, ideals, and progress.
