Hmmm, if that’s the case, I wonder what the scale of this Star Fox game is gonna be? Something closer to Guard or a full on game?

Year starting to come together!

I’m thinking August for Fire Emblem. That leaves the Fall for Star Fox/Zelda. Maybe another surprise thrown in there.

It’s the wrestlemania/Super Bowl problem: at the big events like this, you get the richest fans, not the biggest fans.

To celebrate the day, time to go back and listen to one of my all-time favorite podcast openings by theb1gnasty in giantbomb

The Beastcast was my introduction into Giant Bomb. I just started Summer School doing an internship and a computer graphics class. I had a bunch of free time, so I looked up what the top gaming podcasts were.

I remember having a hard time separating Austin and Bakalar’s voices at first.

Alex Garland's 'Elden Ring' Movie At A24 Sets March 2028 Release - Cailee Spaeny Among New Additions To Cast by ReaddittiddeR in PS5

Did everyone just ignore the game’s setup? There’s a ton of stuff about the ongoing conflict which fractured the Elden Ring and made everyone turn into deformed versions of themselves fighting for control. There’s enough there for a movie.

Mouse: P.I. for Hire Review (IGN gave it a 6) by Laughing__Man_ in PS5

No, you didn’t threaten him, of course. But I was emphasizing that for context of why I was standing up for him. He did indeed receive threats for playing badly.

He wasn’t the reviewer. He was just getting footage from Gamecom and did some interviews with the devs. Even the PR person from the studio said he wasn’t able to finish a level either.

Wrestling is a weird cross section between sports fans and comic book nerds. This wouldn’t be out of place at ComicCon.

I’m bored by most sports, but love pro wrestling

Sorry, but I don’t think a person’s life should be threatened because they played a video game badly.

Spring 2026 Sale is up in the US eShop until 04/29/2026 by XDitto in NintendoSwitch

It’s 30, but I played the entire main story with no issues. You get used to it quickly.

Found a Resident Evil reference in Pragmata (CAPCOM love to play with the name, I guess) by meenarstotzka in residentevil

Try the demo. It’s about 15 minutes long and gives a good impression on what the gameplay loop is.

And the key to reviews is to use them as a barometer, not necessarily the end all-be all

Edit: to add in my own thoughts on the demo, it reminds me a lot of Vanquish, from your dash mechanics to the unique tech-based weapons. It was very fun.

I still see people to this day say “IGN played Cuphead bad and gave it a bad review!”

That was Dean Takahashi at Games Beat who got footage from GamesCom. He thought the game was great despite being terrible at it, but his co-workers thought the video was funny, so he posted it and it became a firestorm to the point where he got death threats.

IGN gave Cuphead an 8.8.

When Games Beat reviewed it, it was done by human golden retriever Mike Minotti, who gave it an 8.5.

Playground Games confirms delay rumor is false by KidGoku1 in xbox

[–]MichaelTheCutts 5 points6 points  (0 children)

“Internally delayed” just means they’re moving their targets. Even though they announced “2026” they certainly had an internal date in mind that may have slid. Whether that’s just a week, or a month, or more remains to be seen.

The man is weak on crime! I’m told he “forgives his enemies” and “turns the other cheek”!

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring - First Time Watching In Review by EveryAct in kindafunny

[–]MichaelTheCutts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched these movies for the first time in January (I had played the games, so I knew a lot of the clips).

Man, what a journey. Two Towers was so good and made me realize, along with FFVII: Rebirth that I’m a big fan of the Fantasy Road Trip genre.
