Steven Colbert pointed out a news story that I think Million would find entertaining... https://www.fox19.com/2023/11/29/ohio-attorney-suspended-throwing-pringles-can-full-human-feces/

Somewhat off topic but I just wanted to mention that Casual Geographic actually put up a video about this subject about a month ago. Pandas were included in this. Aonuma says that a Zelda maker would not be a good idea source comes from polygon interview vids

Oh yeah...I think I forgot to mention that Kojima announced that Death Stranding was being made into a movie

CEO of Larian celebrates the awards and success of the game but also laments that the DnD team that he worked with is mostly laid off https://www.pcgamer.com/theres-almost-nobody-left-ceo-of-baldurs-gate-3-dev-swen-vincke-says-the-dandd-team-he-initially-worked-with-is-gone-due-to-hasbro-layoffs/

Gotta say I like hearing this.

Looks like the floodgates have definitely opened

Man..I thought Sonic and Shadow were just gonna slap up Nine and then they'd go back to focusing on the Chaos Council. Did not expect Nine to actually turn himself into the final boss! Edit: Johnny Gioeli says he's heard chatter...but still nothing concrete on if "Live and Learn" will show up in Sonic 3 I'm gonna need whoever is in charge to put that song in the movie IN SOME WAY.

I saw this news in my feed and yeah...thats a big oof. I can imagine people who worked on that game for the past few years are super disappointed that its getting scrapped but maybe they'll revisit it later. Personally I probably wouldn't let everything go to waste and I'd just make a factions mode as a free update with LoU2R/Standalone digital purchase that way some of their ideas they had can live on in that mode in a more scaled down fashion...but thats just me.

There's been some footage released and a time line of events dealing with Johnathan Majors and Grace Jabbari. Getting most of the info from this twitter thread https://www.tmz.com/2023/12/12/jonathan-majors-called-911-grace-jabbari-cops-testify-overdose-suicide/ So far at this point it seems to point that Majors may not have even been there when some of her injuries occurred, he was at a hotel. Again everything is supposed/alleged right now. She claimed that Majors injured her during the altercation in the car but they got video footage of her after and she isn't hurt. She even went to the club with her friends.

Oh wow...at first they were banning this and then they did a complete 180

Sonic did their twitter takeover yesterday Edit: updated with everything in one video.

Prince of Persia really does look like it might be a really fun game. If it turns out as good as it looks then I hope they get the sales.

Super Mario RPG patch fixes issues

My son found out about my copy of Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and he has been enamored with the game. He's been asking me who characters are and he's now infactuated with Venom and Groot. Game is actually pretty decent game to play with a 4 year old. I forgot how fun this game is to play and realized all the dlc content I haven't unlocked yet. My son is about to have me getting re hooked into this game trying to unlock stuff. May have to knock down the difficulty though cause combination of him not being able to combo on cue on top of not fully following where to go to get the best camera angle leads to disastrous results.

Man so many memorable moments for better and certainly worse but god was expo entertaining. When my son gets older I'm gonna tell him about some of the ridiculous stuff that he missed out on before he was born if ends up really caring about games as much as I do. I still can't get over how fucking bizarre Konami's 2010 show was. I'm probably gonna be periodically going back and watching conferences and reliving some moments.
