Sierra really does look like “Cammy, but Black” from this Overwatch trailer, but that’s fine. I’ll reiterate that it’s an archetype more games should have, so this isn’t a complaint. But it IS funny. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxz-...

Instead of tolerating the presence of people throwing matches, Marvel Rivals needs to show them the door, permanently

I remember watching The Boys' fourth season in 2024 and thinking it was over the top in parodying the current United States. With the start of the fifth season, I'd like to go back two years with a time machine and tell myself how things *really* are in this country now.

Me, an atheist: Your holiness I stand ready to join the crusade against these heretics

I know this is the same price as the digital versions that include the original game and expansion, but it *feels* like sticker shock. It being a Game-Key Card doesn't help.

Feeling bad for the developers here. But come on, man; we can’t lose Game Informer *again*. kotaku.com/gunzilla-nft...

If I'm allowed to have fan favs, I can confidently name this one with Ms. Tron and the Servbots as one of them. This sold out faster than I had any clue that it would, so I'll totally bring it back this year. 😊💖

ICYMI I wrote about how unusually (to an endearing degree) positive the Overwatch fanbase was with requesting changes to Anran's face, which had a good ending, for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/04/exam...

it is inarguable at this point that there will be not one day of peace not one second of returning to any workable international status quo until israel is disarmed entirely

The final part of my Maneater livestream is now on Damage Control Blog's YouTube channel. I take down the remaining two members of Scaly Pete's gang. Then I turn my fangs on the big man himself. It's a tough fight, but I win. Then I try out the Truth Quest DLC.

I was going to say that I hope Adria Arjona doesn’t get the Maxima role in Man of Tomorrow because she’d be great as Wonder Woman, but then James Gunn debunked this story… which is even MORE interesting. I’d love to know what happened with Deadline here. deadline.com/2026/04/supe...

Wilson Bethel really is perfectly cast as Bullseye in Daredevil/Born Again. His current outfit in the current show is fine, but I hope he's around long enough to get a more comics-accurate outfit in the near future.

"Tucker Collins, an 18-year-old freshman at USC, attended a 'No Kings' protest in Los Angeles on Mar. 28. He ended up getting shot in the eye with a less-lethal projectile by a Department of Homeland Security agent and is now blind."

Man, I wonder who just made it big on Polymarket tonight, because I'm *sure* no one had any insider details this whole time.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social about how unusually (in a good way, of course) positive the fanbase was with requesting changes to Anran's face in Overwatch, which all led to a positive result. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/04/exam...

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

ICYMI I wrote about why the criticism for the upcoming Mass Effect show's potential scriptwriting is a bit much at *this* particular point in its early production for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/04/cogn...

A hallway on Floor 11 in Luigi's Mansion 3 references both The Shining and Twin Peaks with its carpet and floor patterns, respectively.

This almost reads like a parody. But it’s very real.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

I guess we're just waiting around to see if this demented psychopath kills everyone: defector.com/i-guess-were...

for those keeping track: antizionism is antisemitism but bombing a synagogue is, of course, fine to do

yeah man i'll circle back to you on that agenda item from yesterday's all hands in just a sec. our pedophile king just threatened to destroy a whole civilization

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

Another one of those mornings where I say "it didn't have to be this way," which feels like *every* morning since last year. But it's only getting worse. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

Star Wars animation has had a much better track record than the live-action stuff under Disney, and Maul: Shadow Lord seems to continue that trend from the first two episodes. They also know how to make an ostensibly-questionable and rudimentary concept work, which the Bad Batch also proved.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social about why fans shouldn't fret about the quality of the Mass Effect show coming to Prime Video following the request for script rewrites, at least not yet. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/04/cogn...

The Punisher Is About to Shoot You

ICYMI I updated last night's Maneater livestream announcement on Damage Control Blog with embedded video from Twitch. I took down the remaining members of Scaly Pete's gang before taking on the big man himself. It was an explosive finale.

I think Bluesky needs its own version of the old Fail Whale. I've had intermittent problems connecting since this morning, but it would be nice to see a fun little "we're working on it" trouble message, I think.

Nothing I could say about the GOP base is as illustrative as the fact that Trump understands that posting black people in what his audience considers a “white space” will make them incandescently angry bsky.app/profile/atru...

Yoshihisa Kishimoto, creator of the legendary Kunio-kun and Double Dragon series, passed away on April 2. Initially reported on Twitter, the news has since been confirmed by Famitsu magazine. He was 64. www.famitsu.com/article/2026...

The stream is over. We took out Scaly Pete and all his gang. After that, we tried the Truth Quest DLC, which wasn't to our liking. We're moving on next week to Look Outside. For now we raided Mini_Lilly who's playing Act Raiser: Renaissance. Check her out: www.twitch.tv/mini_lilly

Wrapped up Psycho-Pass before the weekend was up, and it was much better than I expected. I'm having a tough time believing that the subsequent seasons and movies are *that* much worse, but I guess that's how they get you intrigued. I'll see them soon enough.

Another reason to hope the AI bubble pops is so it screws over companies trying to bilk consumers to boost their profits. wccftech.com/what-dram-pr...

Got an email from Adobe saying that they were nearly doubling the cost of my creative cloud subscriptions and adding a bunch of Gen AI dogshit I didn't ask for! If you don't want to get charged you have to log in and downgrade to a "standard" plan that's just the fuckin apps.

Missed this midway through last week, but I’m into the new Overwatch hero essentially being a dark-skinned Cammy with a gun through her appearance. Not that Cammy hasn’t carried a gun before, but more games could use the archetype.

ICYMI I wrote about how Ingrid looks to be one of the most bizarre roster inclusions in Street Fighter 6 yet, in a *good* way, from only her teaser video for a @damagecontrolblog.bsky.social post. www.dcgameblog.com/2026/04/ingr...

Happy Easter! I'm on my way out for dinner at Mom's. When I get back, my shark will make dinner out of Scaly Pete and other humans in Maneater for tonight's stream. I get started for Damage Control Blog on Twitch at 10pm ET. Come and hang out with me then!
