I posted on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social about how interesting it is that Nintendo passed on remastering Metroid Prime 2 and 3, after Metroid Prime 4 arrived this week. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/12/cogn...

Not that it wasn't clear for several years that George Lucas no longer had any input regarding the Star Wars series' direction, but the original 1977 movie returning to theaters fully solidifies that. www.starwars.com/news/star-wa...

Love Discord being like "bro you didnt complete any quests this year" yeah man I dont know what those are and I'm working really hard not to have to learn

The weekend is here! What do you plan to play or watch? We're on streaming break, save for December 27th! Offline we'll be playing Octopath Traveler II. We'll be watching Sanda, My Hero Academia, and Ranma 1/2 (2024). One of us is getting their physical. Health matters too. #Weekend #Anime

NEW info on shipwreck attack. It gets worse. The 2 survivors climbed atop wreckage and waved to overhead. "Some of the people viewing the video thought ... could have been an attempt to surrender" Others "said the most logical explanation was ... signaling for a rescue." 1/

ICYMI I wrote about Laika: Aged Through Blood for Quarantine Control on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social. My feelings toward this game are complicated. @diosenrab.bsky.social covered The Bad Guys 2, and CWTyger talked about Tokyo Godfathers.

there are of course many examples of political constituencies that have in fact killed scores of children (en route to some other evil goal), but I can't offhand think of any historical examples of a political constituency organized for that specific purpose

We live in the worst and dumbest timeline imaginable.

It would be better if Warner Bros. wasn't being purchased at all, but... at least Netflix is better than Paramount. That counts for something. But that assumes this will go through, because the Trump Administration could step in.

cool that the official position of the administration appears to be that black people don’t really count as americans

The Ellisons plan to do to Paramount what people thought Zaslav would do to Warner Bros. Imagine drafting plans for more “testosterone-heavy tentpoles” when one movie like it from this very company (The Running Man) just underperformed. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

They’re killing people as a twitter joke. It’s depraved. Can’t let yourself lose the capacity to be appalled and disgusted and outraged by this.

RIP. Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa had the best interpretation of Shang Tsung (even though nostalgia has much to do with this), but I also had Showdown in Little Tokyo on my mind a few days ago. variety.com/2025/film/ob...

I'm interested in the Spider-Noir show. But if we're doing alternate Spider-Man series, I'd like to think there's a chance of another tokusatsu series in the near future. It's not likely, but it's also not outside the realm of possibility.

i made a video about the president's gutter racism against somali-americans and how a scandal became a smear became a call for de facto ethnic cleansing

i cannot believe video games are having a massive controversy in 2025 for a horror work like ten times less explicit and extreme than antichrist. everyone's seen that fuckin movie.

i am going completely insane watching gamers make up shit about horses and interrogating every single thing the devs have said for inconsistencies and then deciding well it probably had cp in it. this is the easy mode version of the kinds of censorship that are to come and you're failing like babies

I read enough comments from people saying that Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero was a dead game that I believed it, but it's still attracting over a million players a month? Lots of companies wish they had games this "dead." automaton-media.com/en/news/one-...

On Dec. 4, 1969, Chicago Black Panthers Fred Hampton and Mark Clark were assassinated by Chicago Police and the FBI

I went back and forth about this post before deciding that it needs to be said.  Marvel Rivals has a discipline problem and it’s only gotten worse over time. Way back in Season One – and actually, it may have been there since the game was launched, so Season Zero – it was noted that […]

I'm not surprised that Catwoman isn't expected to return in The Batman Part II, considering how the movie ends, but it's a little disappointing. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

Really appreciate the clarity of the president saying black people are ruining the country and this entire room of groveling empty suits saying nothing bsky.app/profile/just...

ICYMI I wrote about the increasing use of AI in video games, which now includes Let it Die: Inferno and perhaps a little more in Fortnite, for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/12/in-g...

I guess the Crucial SSD I got is going to become a relic of a bygone era. www.theverge.com/news/837594/...

it should probably be a bigger story that the richest man on earth and leading Republican is a fucking Nazi media needs to stop beating around the bush. this is Nazi shit.

The final part of my Laika: Aged Through Blood livestream is now on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social's YouTube channel. I make it through the floating city in order to reach Heaven. What's waiting for me is the last fight of the game and the fate of the Wasteland.

Look at this and consider whether hate-reading a whole book is worth the time commitment. The answer, which I hope is clear, is "absolutely not."

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries: “Strong floor, no ceiling” Colombian President Gustavo Petro: “A clan of pedophiles wants to destroy our democracy.”

What does it say about this country that that the kind of open, rank bigotry Trump administration officials regularly express towards black immigrants apparently has no social cost because of the number of Americans who quietly agree or don't care.

If there's a Chrono Trigger remake, or something like that, in development, it feels like the best idea would be to announce it before the anniversary year ends. Like, *this* month. www.ign.com/articles/you... I don't think they're working on one, but that's a thought.

Didn’t see this over the weekend, but it’s a very good sign for a Kamen Rider Zeztz-style simulcast that the Super Space Sheriff Gavin Infinity teaser was posted on the English Toei Tokusatsu YouTube channel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G-uX...

I posted on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social about the increasing amount of AI slop making its way into video games. Let it Die: Inferno is the new big example, but Fortnite should be viewed with suspicion too. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/12/in-g...

ICYMI I wrote about some side-scrolling Marvel games from Capcom that I'd like to see ported, in the spirit of Marvel Cosmic Invasion just releasing, for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/12/cogn...

HBOMax has started showing a 'remastered' 4K Mad Men and they’ve messed things up so during Roger’s oyster vomit scene you can now see the crew men with the vomit hose on the right

Add another clip to that Cowardice and Complicity Compilation.

I figured everything was going really well for Yacht Club Games after Shovel Knight's success, but I also keep forgetting that it's been well over a decade since the original game released. The spinoffs didn't seem to take off that much either. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/shovel-...

you’re 12 years old. ask jeeves just hit the market. and you can search for one thing.

i'm actually struck by how pete hegseth isn't just a cowardly man but a capital-c Coward. a guy who gets off on abusing and hurting people he thinks are weaker than him and then tries to run and hide when there might be consequences

Amazon doing casting for both the Tomb Raider and God of War series nearly simultaneously, while also having a Mass Effect series cooking, should highlight the current trend in entertainment. Not to mention that Fallout's second season starts later this month.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social about two Capcom-developed Marvel games from the 16-bit era that I'd like to see ported soon, which were on my mind with today's release of Marvel Cosmic Invasion. www.dcgameblog.com/2025/12/cogn...
