On this day in 2005, 20 years ago, Gamecube game Pokémon XD - Gale of Darkness was first released.

This game was a sequel to Colosseum and had you return to Orre to try and stop Cipher again and rescue Shadow Pokémon

Free Gold Watch to play some pins. Cal Academy and the De Young if you want art and museums (and they’re in Golden Gate Park). Japantown for shopping and vibes.

Going live shortly! We're recapping the RPGs announced at the Direct, the price increases, and everything else on Blood God Live!

Got a nice little Edge of Eternities bundle in the mail today! Will be cracking open that Counter Intelligence precon and playing with @seamoosi.bsky.social and a couple special guests at 3:30pm PT!

Not discounting Wilds’ issues, but could it also be that the Switch has a very large install base and that Rise is eminently playable on Switch 2?

Yep bsky.app/profile/robo...

New Pokemon TCG Pocket set just dropped and I look forward to seeing the art for this pull. I’m sure it’s very cool. Oh and this makes dragons viable? Neat

How I feel in every games media convo these days 😅

Mario Paint is out on Switch Online (mouse required)

Who are my Trails in the Sky SC fans?

One of the most underrated talents in the business. Great critic, great reporter, the driver of @bloodgodpod.bsky.social's Trans Lifeline charity stream. I was happy to hire him at USgamer and even happier to have him as a cohost on Blood God. Huge congratulations to my friend @seamoosi.bsky.social

Shoutout to the lady who complimented my cool Axe of the Blood Good hoodie then subbed to the show on the spot when I told her it was my pod

YouTube video by Restart Fans Review Alien: Earth’s SDCC Premiere – Restart @ San Diego Comic-Con

Panel ending now. Physical edition preorders up in about nine minutes cc @wario64.bsky.social 😋

Fan question: More Scott Pilgrim

Bryan Lee O’Malley: He’s doing the little Scott Pilgrim comic in the deluxe edition and he’s hoping it will inspire him to do more. He’ll see how EX does and hopes there can be more

Origin of vegans having special powers: Bryan Lee O’Malley heard a joke once about vegans not sweating and he extrapolated that to vegans having all sorts of power. “Modern vegans probably don’t have psychic power”

You don’t have to unlock moves. Full roster available from the start

Concept art for various attacks

The time traveling concept was based on Turtles IV of course. There’s an Ice Age Todd. Also pixel art Lisa Miller

Young Neil’s girlfriend will be in this one. She previously only existed as sketches. She runs a shop.

And yes Young Neil will have a role to play

Tribute: We’ve always wanted to make a game with River City Ransom energy. That was meant to be the original game and it never quite came together, so I’m glad we were able to do that version of the game

They’re showing exclusive gameplay footage. Anamanaguchi really has come a long way since 2011. Cheeky Metal Sonic reference with Metal Scott. Shocking no one the game looks delightful.

There’s a lot more story in this one. Talking to characters to unlock new parts of the map et al

Anamanaguchi applying everything they’ve learned Mega Man boss style and can make a “real soundtrack” this time 😋

I didn’t know they were literally just out of college when they made the original.
