I basically just want a fighting game where Pepsiman battles Kool-Aid Man's jug ass. Just one on one.

Just witnessed the revirth of the dot hack series: .hack//Z.E.R.O. CyberConnect2ms 30th anniversary celebration. Wow. Looks amazing.

Talking Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement with legendary developers IGA and SHUTARO Koji Igarashi and Shutaro IIida sat down with us for the most in-depth Bloodstained: The Scarlet Engagement chat in existence.

Super sad news. Shutaro Iida, director of the best Castlevania games, has lost his battle with cancer. I was lucky to conduct one of the last —if not *the last— interview with him about #Bloodstained 2. RIP, Shutaro-san. store.epicgames.com/en-US/news/b...

The new electronic declaration process (vs the old paper form) at Narita Airport is like 50% more complicated to fill out, and puts you in a much longer, slower line, that repeats the face scan process you experience just moments earlier at immigration. Absolutely Japanese in nature.

Reminded that I never picked up the Metal Wolf Chaos statue that Devolver Digital made, and I have regrets. It’s a miracle the game was remastered for modern consoles. It’d be perfect on Switch but I hear From wasn’t too happy with the port for some reason. So maybe never. It’s on Steam though.

They didn’t have to go that hard.

Hideki Kamiya’s ‘business card’ from last year still cracks me up. He’s no longer ‘unemployed,’ so this meishi is incredibly rare.

The time has come to push the button.

You are not wrong. But it's nice to be able to play Metal Wolf Chaos and No Rest For The Wicked and Assassin's Creed Odyssey to go.

The one thing that’s frustrating about Steam Deck is —because it’s a handheld PC, it’s janky like a PC, wakes up from sleep mode all janky and sometimes just behaves badly after it’s been woken up. The Switch 1/2 rarely ever have this problem. They’re just reliable AF. Steam Deck is my go to but man

Diablo II: Resurrected – Reign of the Warlock (PC / Blizzard Entertainment / 2026) I’ve seen many video game announcements in my day, but I don’t think any have been as truly unexpected as “new DLC for Diablo II in 2026.” From WoW Classic to StarCraft Remastered, Blizzard has no …

I wrote about Reign of the Warlock, the first significant new content for Diablo II in 25 years.

In case you have this problem, log in on the BattleNet app (I did it on PC) and my Steam Deck was able to start the game after. So stupid.

“You have not been online in the last 30 days. Please start the game while online to check for any login agreements.” This is almost certainly caused by information that is stored locally on your system by either Battle.net Launcher or the game itself. I say this because I have successfully logged on with a separate...

I'm not the only dude having this problem AITAH? No, I don't think so. us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d2r/t/%E2...

That does it. I'm sold.

Seriously tho, Blizzard? My Steam Deck is online. Imagine if I brought this on a plane to play and I gotta see this the first thing when I fire up the Deck? Can’t things just ****ing WORK?

I know the reviews are acting like it's the Devil's Third of this decade (old school Japanese action game) but Romeo is a Dead Man is going to push a button I need pressed.

I think it’s wild how Blizzard updated a 26 year-old game with Diablo II: Resurrected – Infernal Edition. Just when I think I’m out.

If you have a chance to see the dueling version of UB40, which features the other members from the band’s heyday, minus Ali Campbell, don’t. That is all.

Unfortunately despite being called the Big Love Tour, and the show opening with the recorded version of the intro to 1995’s Big Love solo record, he played nothing else from that excellent album, nor anything (that I recognize) from his last album with Astro, Unprecedented, which is peak UB40.

The Friends Happy Meal.

UB40 feat Ali Campbell still sound studio perfect. And the closing set of Red Red Wine, Kingston Town and Can’t Help Falling In Love is as strong as anyone’s encore. Amazing.

I have my doubts about that.

I have another one too. Different image.

I gotta get this Shoji Kawamori framed.

Yeah what’s up w that

How does Apple’s Photos app know?

What’s wrong with this image of The Whole Blood Affair preorder?

Other Worlds Than These: A Talisman Novel (The Talisman Trilogy) Amazon.com: Other Worlds Than These: A Talisman Novel (The Talisman Trilogy): 9781668233092: King, Stephen, Straub, Peter: Books

Wow. Stephen King and Peter Straub's The Talisman was probably the first big, mature fantasy book I read as a young person, and now, decades later, the third and final entry in the trilogy is inbound come October. I will be there on Day 1.
