I was gonna skip new Onimusha but between the demo and all the glowing reviews, I'm fighting the urge to grab it day one
One aspect that solidifies Batman: The Animated Series as my go-to adaptation is that Batman has a sense of empathy. It's flawed and prone to be affected by paranoia, but he understands that there's no hope for redemption unless his rogues are allowed some semblance of their humanity.

GTA 6 looks sick but I'm not ready for Rockstar to be praised for making the first video game that delves into human relationships just like how TLOU was considered the First Game Ever for years
Look, Kazuma Kiryu once told me to fly high like a beautiful butterfly and what am I supposed to do, not listen to Kiryu
in memory of peter cullen let's remember one of his best line reads
I have just wrapped up with helping Metro's GTA 6 coverage and not that anyone was asking, that game really does just look like every third-person shooter that's come out for the last decade.
Oh so that's Peter Cullen gone too. Can this week fucking fuck off?!
Jesus, losing Hayden Panettiere, Dolly Parton AND Tim Curry so close together is too cruel
I’m as curious as anyone about how Atlus is going to handle Persona 4’s storylines in 2027, but one thing about it still holds up: its depiction of small town blues.

When I heard Dolly Parton passed away during Gamescom Opening Night Live, I half expected this to happen:
This will sound mean, but holy shit, that was one of the worst big video game events/shows I've seen in a long, long time. I really, really think Geoff needs to re-evaluate how these things are put together, how much content is stuffed into them, and how many of these we even need every year.
I knew I should’ve skipped the Gamescom show. Miserable viewing and not even the FF7 trailer made it feel worth it. Unironically the most excited I got was seeing those dumb Mega Man costumes for Pragmata
Genuinely baffled at what I was looking at with this one but in a good way

Took part in not just my first Tokon bracket but my first fighting game bracket ever. Apparently I didn't do too badly so that was nice (fourth place out of six if you're wondering)
Saving the Samurai Outriders episode till last in Marvel Tokon really worked out cause that was my fave story of the lot
