This was the little shit who was on RLM complaining about no original movies after American Ultra flopped. Now they’re pegged for a GI Joe movie. Makes sense.

Also tried split joy cons, same thing. Bonkers and Chip and Dale 2 are fine, every other game down jumps.

I don’t remember the down button making you jump in DuckTales. Am I doing something wrong @digitaleclipse.bsky.social ? Playing on a Switch 2 with a pro controller?

I can’t remember when I hopped off of Scrubs, but I watched the 2 episodes of the new series and I’m all in.

NEW: Inside the failure of Highguard, which flopped so badly that developer Wildlight laid off most of its staff just two weeks after release.

Such a weird one for me. I was all in on DS and couldn’t wait for this. Oh, and MML3. Traded in my DSiXL to get it. After that, didn’t use it much for like a year. Wish I would’ve waited until the XL revisions.

This is incredible to see. So happy @limitedrungames.com is making this happen!

As you may know, I’ve got a lot of personal history here, both personal and professional. Here comes a thread where I’ll include at least one fun bit of fun trivia for each game in the collection.

CBVG MONTHLY: X-MEN ARCADE AND MAXIMUM CARNAGE ARE BACK, WOLVERINE GETS A RELEASE DATE, COSMIC CHAOS IS GOING AWAY AND MORE The output on Comic Book Video Games has been lacking as of late. By the time I’m able to get news out, it’s already, well, old news. So, I’m trying a new format wherein I collect…

Marvel MaXimum Collection, DC's Justice League departs digital, release dates for Marvel's Wolverine, a brand new LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight trailer and more! comicbookvideogames.com/2026/02/25/c...

In conjunction with the then-new animated series, Maximum Carnage made me go from liking Spider-Man to loving him.

Made this video about it, also featuring @blarcade.bsky.social, @brettweiss.bsky.social, and @panelstopixels.bsky.social. youtu.be/jPm8Ei0QjuU?...
