Yeah, y’all aren’t ready for how fucking great this game is. I’m sorry you had to find out on Final Fantasy Tactics Redux Day.

I’ll be getting surgery in the near future and it occurs to me the last time I had surgery was in 2016 and I posted a Facebook selfie of myself grinning and pressing the morphine button post-op. Yeah…yeah, they don’t let you post that kinda thing on social media no more.

As someone who slipped a G-Man reference into the Maverick Hunter’s Field Guide, this pleases me.

I've just received word that a few of you have something very special that belongs to me. Plz be gentle. No it's not my virginity, how can "a few" people get that at one time?! It's not logical. THINK, man!

Cassius Bright be like, "Why isn't my daughter more ladylike? Oh well, I hope she likes this feral orphan I got her on my last business trip."

Did I just see Beth Phoenix carry off a man for snusnu? #aew

HEY DORKS! I won’t be on this week’s Axe of the Blood God because I’m gonna do a wrasslin.’ Tune in to the Blood God at 12:30 ET and be good!! Bonus pic of my #FFXIV WoL being rad. twitch.tv/bloodgodpod

I know Lady Emily did an excellent video explaining the Cinemassacre “truther” sub, but the raw hate some former AVGN fans have for Rolfe is eyebrow-raising. Lots of conspiracy theories about how his wife (ofc it’s his wife) is to blame for AVGN not being as good as it was in 2007, God forbid.

Kat's got a new job that's better than 10 Superbowls, so she'll be moving to the UK! She won't be on the weekly show regularly, but she will remain Blood God-adjacent in the Discord and on specials! Eric, Vic and I will be rotating host duties, so the Blood God is staying put (in your mom's bed). 🎉

When all you care for is the fire You end up blinded by the light

Nothing pisses me off more than when someone says swearing is “a sign of low intelligence.” Dude, eat my vagina. My brilliant fucking vagina.

10 years ago I played a game assembled in RPG Maker called "Nether Novel" (a parody of Undertale) and this NPC dog has lived in my head rent-free ever since.

If I saw Melania glide towards me down a dark Silent Hill corridor, I’d shit myself.

I wasn't expecting this to be even half as engaging as it is. It makes A Song of Ice and Fire look like Baby's First Pop Up Book. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ef56...

Young game journos, if you think it's tough to keep embargoes nowadays, please remember that I discovered Galarian Meowth during SwSh embargo and had to bottle up my screams for *weeks.*

I unironically love Sunday nights.

I’ve complained (and complained!) about how Normie McAmerica, ie not Bluesky is simply not aware of how fucked the US is now. Hence why they think they still have the luxury of being shocked by people talking shit about Kirk.

Hello come watch us pet kitties

Time 4 Blood God live!! twitch.tv/bloodgodpod

New Columbo reboot where he just reads the messages on the bullets and fucking dies.

<---THIS THREAD IS A DESIGNATED #NINTENDODIRECT FREAK-OUT ZONE--->

To my knowledge we never see Spark Mandrill's backside, but going by the concept art he still has a big blue ass like biological male mandrills. It's a fact. It's a monkey fact. 🐵

As a Mana series-loving doofus who has an AURYN tattoo, the link between Flammie and Falkor makes me giddy. And, hey! Support the Axe of the Blood God podcast AND newsletter at the $5+ level for old-fashioned games writing like grandma used to make. (It's me, I'm grandma.) patreon.com/bloodgodpod

Me watching kimchi slowly but surely creep onto the pickled fish/veggie shelves in Jewish supermarkets:

Had to rip this off from Retrontario's Facebook for reasons, not the least of which is the footage of that '80s streetcar rolling by. What a handsome lad.

Me checking social media after spending the day offline

If tomorrow’s Direct doesn’t give us a shadow drop of DK Bananza level DLC, I’m gonna burn this thing to the fucking ground.

Blessed are the Gamers for they shall inherit the Kingdom of Clash (after paying $16 a month for the supreme Battle Pass).

Wild how during the Cold War, threats like this took over the news cycle for days. We were much more cognizant of what we were playing with re: nuclear powers. The frog pot’s been at a roiling boil for ages.

It needs to be said: This is quality Axe of the Blood God 'pod content. And we can only keep delivering it with YOUR 🫵 support! A cool $5 gets you the show ad-free, Discord access, and my weekly RPG blog / newsletter. Think it oh-whoa-over. 🎵 patreon.com/bloodgodpod

Me dragging screenwriters to Excel like the kids dragging their teacher to the bonfire at the end of "The Wall" music video.

"I am sensing tension about Silksong's difficulty on my timeline. Are you okay, babies?"

I need one, just one, talking head from the mainstream US media to ask a government official, word for word, "Do you hear yourself? Are you fucking high?"

'bout five minutes 'til we BLOW YOUR MINDS!! with deep Final Fantasy Tactics discourse! twitch.tv/bloodgodpod

My Top 10: 10. The Clock King (that deranged scream!) 9. Nothing to Fear 8. Robin's Reckoning 7. Joker's Favour (first ep I saw) 6. House & Garden (still kinda fucked up) 5. Harley & Ivy 4. Clayface 3. Heart of Ice 2. Almost Got Him 1. The Demon's Quest (my intro to Ra's.)

That unnecessary "frrt" around 0:19 still kills me a decade later.

If this movie takes itself seriously for one bare second, it's all going to fall apart like matchsticks. Otherwise it might be Sonic-movie level fun.

I'm trying to do research and it's clownpants insane how much game history has been sand-blasted off the internet thanks to the decimation of games writing + Google now being literally worthless.

Zero is me and Iris is the bowl of Shreddies I dropped on the floor this morning. (This is a fun ep and you should listen to it.)

When I die I’m just going to be a ghost who wanders from room to room going “WhEre dId I pUt my vapE, oOOooO” “oH it’s in tHe bathRooOoOm, what’S iT doInG thErE, oOoOoO”

Why did Mega Man 8 fear Mega Man 7? Because 7 8 9. Ahem. Watch us play more Mega Man 8 now!

In about five minutes or so (Eric's running late lmao) we'll be streaming The Axe of the Blood God RPG podcast live on Twitch!! This week: RPG weddings. Some are like fairy tales. Others are of the "red" nature. We talk about 'em all. Join us! twitch.tv/bloodgodpod

II’m not vagueposting but one of the best things about being on Facebook is that it’s a mix of your normie relatives and ancient fandom friends. So one day you’ll post “omg ProtoBlues X Zero committed vehicular manslaughter” and three people will respond “NO WAY” while everyone else is just “???”.

Looking back on the trailer for The Rocketeer has made me realize how different '90s trailers were.

This reality is just dragons amassing gold and then trying to cheat their way onto each other’s piles. It’s like Shadowrun if all the top corporate fae were crybabies and nitwits.

Braved giant rats and roaches in a part of Baltimore that wanted me dead to see the Protomen live. I’d do it again! And again!!

Centreville has a really unique vibe for any amusement park I've been to since it doesn't cost anything to just go in and hang out. It also feels the same way it did when I was a kid, and somehow hasn't dissolved into broken trash like, say, Woodbine.
