Platinum trophy #199: Death Stranding 2

Much like the first game, I had to end my run in the hot tub. Sam deserves it after all those deliveries. This time, got to look to the stars for a very fitting platinum image.

One platinum away from a big milestone! #gamersky #DeathStranding #PlayStation

Clair Obscur: 10 Strongest Weapons You'll Want to Level Up ASAP, Ranked Clair Obscur: Expedition 33's weapons are all-around amazing. Which weapons upgrades should be prioritized, especially in the post-game?

Heading toward the postgame in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and not sure which weapons upgrades to prioritize? For @cbr.bsky.social, I offer up some suggestions as someone who has earned the platinum trophy in the game (after the Medalum patch haha) #gamersky

Sorry, But I'm Glad Anthony Mackie's Post-Apocalyptic Peacock Adaptation Ditched This Piece of Lore From the Source Material Twisted Metal is much more grounded compared to its game counterpart. For now, the show's lack of supernatural elements is for the better.

Twisted Metal has been lacking in the supernatural elements from the games. I explain why this grounded, or ease in, approach can be to the show's benefit.

Got Platinum Trophy #198 a few days ago. Had to celebrate Season 2 of Twisted Metal somehow, so earning the platinum in the first game made sense!

I have an idea of what #200 may be, but more than happy to take suggestions! #gamersky

Was Raven Recast in Twisted Metal? Only Diehard Fans Will Understand Season 2's Confusing Cast Shakeup Twisted Metal Season 2 offers a new Raven for fans to get to know, but the change has a unique connection to the games.

Entering Twisted Metal Season 2, I covered on @cbr.bsky.social why there is now a second Raven, and what makes this Raven (played by She-Hulk's Patty Guggenheim) closer to her video game counterpart than the Season 1 Raven #TwistedMetal #gamersky

#NFL Preseason PSA: Every team's offensive line depth is rough, and every fanbase is extremely stressed out about it. You're not alone.

There's a Forgotten Street Fighter Movie With 92% on Rotten Tomatoes Even Diehard Fans Don't Know About (& It's Flawless) While most people groan at the thought of a Street Fighter movie, there has actually already been a great movie that is completely forgotten.

Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist is the best video game adaptation you've likely never heard of, and proof that a live-action SF can work. For @cbr.bsky.social, I explain what Assassin's Fist is, why it's so good, and what Street Fighter (2026) can learn from it.

Why Do Retro Game Fans Hate Donkey Kong 64 So Much? Donkey Kong Bananza marks the return of 3D platforming Donkey Kong, which has resurfaced the debate over Donkey Kong 64.

Donkey Kong Bananza has been popular lately, which has brought renewed eyes to DK's first 3D adventure, Donkey Kong 64. I loved DK64 as a kid, but I do agree with many of the modern opinions on it. For @cbr.bsky.social I explain why many feel DK64 has aged poorly:

www.cbr.com/why-has-donk...

My thoughts on Donkey Kong Bananza after a week:

- Wanted a new 3D DK for decades and it was worth the wait.

- Destroying things is really fun!

- Ending is fantastic.

- I think Odyssey and Astro Bot are better, but it's still an elite 3D platformer.

- Clair Obscur is still locked in as my GOTY.

Alright #Tigers, if the trade deadline doesn't turn things around, desperate times may require us to do something extreme like bringing back the Jared Goff chants to improve vibes.

This is your warning.

Absolutely gutted that the UFL appears to be relocating the Michigan Panthers. Way to reward the only market that saw attendance/fan growth last season, and it wasn't negligible growth either. It was 30%+.

Death Stranding 2: On The Beach’s Ending, Explained Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is the latest over-the-top Hideo Kojima game. How does this Game of the Year contender end?

Hideo Kojima endings tend to be...complex, to say the least. I attempt to adequately explain the ending of the amazing Death Stranding 2.

I Can't Stop Thinking About David Corenswet's Wild Star Wars Movie Watch Order (& I Can't Wait to Try It) David Corenswet has revealed his watch order for the Star Wars movies, and it's a very popular and controversial order among hardcore Star Wars fans.

What is the "Machete order" of watching the Star Wars movies, and why does the new Superman prefer it over release or episode order? At @cbr.bsky.social, I explain the logic behind it.

If anyone could do it!

Pretty sure the only positive contribution by a #Tigers player tonight is Javy Baez advancing a runner to 2B.

Alan Tudyk & Nathan Fillion's New Sci-Fi Project Has Me Even More Convinced We're Getting a Firefly Revival 22 Years Later Nathan Fillion and Alan Tudyk are teaming up again in Once, We Were Spacemen, which only underscores the need for more Firefly.

I'm just looking for anything to give me hope for a Firefly revival, so, naturally, this piqued my interest and I wrote about it.

5 Years Before Stranger Things, Joseph Quinn Stole the Show With a Single Throwaway Scene in This Iconic Fantasy Series With 89% on Rotten Tomatoes Joseph Quinn's time on Stranger Things is iconic, and his role in Fantastic Four is anticipated, but he also appeared in an infamous fantasy series.

As we near the release of The Fantastic Four: First Steps, I took a look at one of the members of the iconic quartet and their history with Game of Thrones - and I'm not talking about Pedro Pascal.

8 Years Later, It's Time to Admit This Controversial Game of Thrones Cameo Wasn't As Bad As Viewers Thought (& The Character's Fate Was Revealed 7 Episodes Later) Game of Thrones has had some pretty impressive cameos over the years, but one of the most controversial has improved.

Honestly, the Ed Sheeran cameo was pretty harmless. There was a wholesome reason he cameoed, and it added something the show had lacked compared to the books - singing. There are much bigger fish to fry with those final two seasons.

My 40th MLB game attended. Go Tigers!!!

So happy to be getting the Shock back! Assuming they'll be the Shock. They were such a huge part of WNBA history, winning three titles, and it felt so wrong that they haven't been a part of this golden age.

10 The Walking Dead Characters Who Should've Been Killed Off (& Totally Overstayed Their Welcome) The Walking Dead Universe boasts a massive cast across its multiple series. However, over the years, some characters overstayed their welcome.

The Walking Dead loves to kill characters off, but even then, some characters overstayed their welcome and probably should've joined the list of heartbreaking deaths. I listed 10 of them for @cbr.bsky.social
