I didn't even know this special K.O. animation was in TTT2, this is cool as shit

I don't know how you have so little media literacy to somehow think that Helldivers 2 is anti-political.  And yeah this is a real tweet by this guy trying to go after HD2 community manager.  I had to double check to make sure.

Edit:  IGN put up their review for HD2 on Twitter and apparently people are upset and or realizing that they're playing as fascists or upset that they said you're playing as fascists?

Arrowhead literally has to come out and say what they're not being subtle about it apparently.....amazing.

Not a bad list of stuff to pull from but it's definitely weird htat Riders is on the list.  This kinda lets me know that Chaos, Silver, Metal Sonic, and Blaze are still on the table in some capacity.

Thats fun. 

Matthew is just a good dude and I think this was a role he actually wanted so I was happy for him.

Edit:  That boss is on some Gainax/High School of the Dead shit lol.

Super Late VGM Friday Part 1 reg contribution.  Was busy today so wasn't able to do my anniversaries post.  Will do that Saturday.

Yeah...that's rough...

I'm gonna need this guy to explain to me how complaining about not having optimal water temperature relates to white privalege cause that sounds more like a 1st world problem more than anything.

Some of the other things he has don't really scream out "I hate white guys and asians" though...I would like some context at least on what he's responding to.

Edit:

Oh nooooo...not the PoC can't racist to white people mindset again...

Like Million said putting Lara over Mario is Wild AF.  You don't even have to like or play Mario to know this is almost objectively wrong.  This whole thing has some wild shit in it.  Astarion from BG3 is a top 20 icons?   For real?  My guy been in 1 whole game (Had to look up if he's been any other Baldur's gates and...nope...just 3) last year and he's instantly top 20?  The amount of people Sackboy stepped over to be no.5 is nuts!  Agent 47 at 3 is ridiculous considering the characters he stepped over to get to that spot.  Ellie over Nathan is interesting...don't agree with that either.  And as much as I enjoy RDR2...Arthur?   Really?  Over Pikachu, Solid Snake and Crash?  They need to sell whatever they are on cause I'm sure they could make a profit.

Dude is likely going to lose his job over his dumb stance that has absolutely no grounds what so ever 

If he gets fired I'll be surprised but this is definitely a wild hill to die on in regards to this game.

Among Us animated seires pulls in more random heavy hitters for the cast

https://variety.com/2024/tv/news/among-us-animated-series-cast-patton-oswalt-debra-wilson-phil-lamarr-wayne-knight-1235960433/

Patton Oswalt, Debra Wilson, Phill Lamar, and Wayne Knight.

Technically the interviewer and the interviewee should both have the onus since it's supposed to be give and take.  Emphasis on "supposed to be".  The person asking questions should be trying to get info about whatever is that they think would be important about the subject or what they think they're readers would care about regarding the subject.  The person answering should be give answers about the subject in question especially if its something that they're trying to promote and in the hopes that any answers they give will help generate buzz.  In the case of Stellar Blade unfortunately for better or worse everything seemed to have more of a major focus on the character's look.  I don't believe that this was just something that lays at the feet of the interviewers because one of the very first things that people will notice in the first introduction of this character in the reveal trailer is obvious. (Also by the way man Eve went through a hell of change from then to now eh?).  And It's even more obvious when the rereveal happened that they're doing it to get your attention.  I'm not gonna knock the hustle cause again...it sells.  This discourse is doing exactly what it's supposed to do and its generating buzz for both the journalists who want to point and scream "look at the oversexualization of this character!" all the while Shift Up doesn't do anything to steer the conversation away from it because it's keeping the game in people's minds.  I mean if I'm in Shift Up's position from a business perspective and I think my game is solid...why would I want to tell the press to not talk about the game when it's generating buzz like this for positive or negative?    All the supposed "criticism" about Eve has a high chance of actually working in Shift Up's favor since it'll get people who probably were "meh" on it to try the demo and probably discover the game may actually have some substance instead of passing on it.

Hellblade II has its own discourse surrounding it cause supposedly the game is roughly 8 hours or something?  Only glanced at some of it that showed up since it was part of a bigger overall recurring discourse regarding length of games and whether that makes them better or have more value or whatever.

Toriyama's influence and legacy continuing to spread

This is so fucked.  I"m glad most cops are required to wear camera's now because what in the actual fuck.

Was this cop hopping the footage would get scrubbed?  I don't know what the thought process here was.
