The Wikipedia summary for the upcoming animated film Ray Gunn

My explosive excitement in discovering that Brad Bird has revived Ray Gunn - a movie he was trying to get off the ground before directing The Iron Giant decades ago - was immediately undone as soon as I saw who’s distributing it 😑

The box art for the video game "Kirby's Dream Land 2"

Kirby's Dream Land 2: First-time playthrough! I know this is a fan-favorite entry, but I didn't vibe with the animal friends like most people. Trying out the many different ability combinations is fun, but like... only 3 of them are actually useful. Fine game, just not for me 🤷‍♂️

The box art for the video game "Kirby's Dream Land"

Kirby's Dream Land: It takes 10-20 minutes to play through Kirby's first game, and even without his signature copy abilities, the little guy can still throw hands. It's a game that respects your time, fully exploring Kirby's inhale/projectile powers before rolling credits.

Burning through Kirby games in preparation for Air Riders, starting with...

Kirby Super Star: Probably the best 2D Kirby game, and STILL one of the most approachable retro games ever made. I mean it when I say ANYONE can pick this up and have an amazing time, from Spring Breeze to Milky Way Wishes.

I feel like it’s more “give the new-ish studio a small project to figure out Halo and Unreal Engine 5 as a starting point.” Plus this isn’t a remaster like Anniversary was, thankfully

Wow. Never thought I’d see the day.

Pictures of Shogo Sakai and Noriyuki Iwadare, the composers of Kirby Air Riders

I was so overwhelmed by all the info in the second Kirby Air Riders Direct that I completely missed that Noriyuki Iwadare, who's composed most of the Ace Attorney games, is the game's co-composer alongside the incredible Shogo Sakai! This game could not be more "for me" if it tried 🫠

The summary for a shiny Trubbish in Pokémon Legends: Z-A

First Z-A shiny!! I didn’t know what that little jingle meant before so this would’ve been my 3rd or 4th had I been paying attention

A white screen with the text “Pokémon Legends: Z-A” in all caps

ITS OUT ITS FINALLY OUT LEGENDS Z-A IS OUT LETS GOOOOOOOOO

Watch_Dogs. What a foul experience.

According to Gunn that was the original plan, then he brought up the cliffhanger to Peter Safran and he was like “no you gotta put that cliffhanger in there” for some godforsaken reason

Hate to chime in on the chorus with this one but yeah the Peacemaker Season 2 finale was pretty disappointing 😕 Given how good S2 was up to the end, it feels egregious to close on such a drawn-out, unfocused note. And that cliffhanger?? Are you serious???

george no

That Thing They’ll Do

Look I’m sorry but the theories about the baby being Rosalina struck me as very “guy who only plays Mario games”-coded

Yeah there’s not even a description! Just the title!

I absolutely heard the Pikmin theme in the music

If I had a nickel for every song from a rock band dedicated to a boy named Julian that featured life advice, group-singing, and tons of “na na na’s” at the end, I’d have 2 nickels… which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it’s happened twice

I spent so much time with Super Mario Galaxy growing up. I played it, finished it, then restarted it on repeat. I spent hours just running around the Comet Observatory. I was an absolute fiend for this game.

I never knew Mario could crouch-attack until literally yesterday.

The thumbnail art for the video “Undertale ~ Speaking Frog - PART 1 - Steam Train”

10 years ago, the Game Grumps channel put up the 1st part of the Steam Train Undertale series. A minute in, @barrykramer.bsky.social & @rubberross.bsky.social said “if this game looks interesting to you, stop watching this and go play it.” So I did just that, and the rest is history. Thanks guys 😊

I can’t stop grinning like a fool. Props to @jamesgunn.bsky.social and co for an amazing corporate prank

Cannot emphasize enough how much of an Event the release of The Simpsons Movie was for me at 13 years old. A sequel probably won’t hit me the same way at 33 but I’m definitely interested

I love seeing FFV on my feed. Great basswork(?) Emily

I don’t even LIKE Wolverine and I’m hyped

???????????

God I wish RGG marketed their showcases more, I would’ve lost my shit if I watched it live

Oh yeah people definitely use it unironically these days, drives me up the wall

If you call a game “____slop” you should be banned from playing games for like a week

So I bought this Batman comic book and there’s so much Sauce on each page that the whole thing is all soggy and wet 🫤 anyone dealt with a similar issue?

Genuinely powerful words to live by.
