I buy my manga digitally now through comixology. If there’s a series I really, really love or I can’t get digitally I’ll buy physically. 
 
for instance I have physical copies every volume of Hi-Score Girl released so far in the west since it’s not available on comixology. 

Astral Chain being a 100% Nintendo is worrisome only because I don't know if they have any teams in house that can replicate action systems if that game. The setting and all that is stock anime future sci-fi but the actual game mechanics are something else. Hopefully they will still collaborate with Platinum in the future on the hopeful sequel.

I have and will never collect any manga fully, unless it is like a 1-5 volumes long. Closet I got of current collect is an incomplete Ratman run.

Interesting excerpt from the Platinum interview
 
Lucasfilm recently signalled that it’s making the Star Wars license available to new game developers again. Have you already put your pitch in?
Kamiya: I’m glad you brought this up because I just bought the full Blu-ray boxset and I’ve been watching all the movies over the past few weeks. I’ve just got to Episode 9 and I’m going to watch it right after this interview!
Inaba: 9? Why watch the last trilogy?
Kamiya: I love 9!
Regarding working on a Star Wars game though… it’s a very well devised world. There’s just so much depth and character in that world that it’s almost terrifying to have to be in control of it for a game. I’d have my ideas for what I’d want to do for a game, but do those fit with the Star Wars franchise?
For PlatinumGames we could think, ‘we have a lightsaber, we slice at some guy and he goes flying, we do a mid-fair combo and then pull out a whip lightsaber and start getting at ‘em’, but what if the powers that be say, ‘you can’t do that with Star Wars’? That would be trying at times, possibly. So when we hear that it’s available, part of me is like, ‘gimme gimme gimme!’ But then part of me is also like, I don’t want to get tangled up in something that could get messy.
What do you think, Inaba?
Inaba: You mean about episodes 7, 8 and 9?
Kamiya: No, about us doing a Star Wars game!
Inaba: Honestly, I feel the same way. It does feel attractive to be able to work on it and it’d be a dream in some ways. But I also feel like we would just make the fans pissed if we worked on it. Star Wars has such a fully developed world I feel it might be hard for us to add something. I think fans would be angry at what we would do, so it’s a difficult proposition.
But you’d take the call?
Inaba: We’re not in a position to be turning down meetings with Disney! (laughs) We’re not that elite yet. We would be honoured to have a meeting with them, yes.
 
 
Kamiya loving 9 is probably making keyboard warriors go crazy right now.

haha Chronic the Hedgehog would be pretty funny.... surprising I haven't seen anything like that before; surely someone would've designed that easy joke at some point in all these years?  You could just recolor Sonic to green, give him some halfway open eyes, with the constant "I'm high as fukkkkk, mane" facial expression... and of course he's not quite as fast as his cousin, the original Sonic....in fact he's kinda laid back about everything in life.
 
...hmm...imagine LSD the Treefrog... he would have the power to cast incredibly realistic hallucinations for his enemies...maybe even warp reality a bit...
 
Anyway... the dlc for Dead Cells is well worth the 5 bucks, folks.  I've been playing this game non-stop once again.  The new areas and enemies are interesting...and there is a new "Cultist" outfit that's significantly different from all the others.... most outfits are unfortunately just palette-swaps of the same thing, basically, but that cultist outfit is something else and looks cool:

I'll double-dip and get this for my XB1 version as well; I have enough reward points to just use that to buy it, actually.

I immediately thought of a shitty version of "chronic the hedgehog" 
 
A pot smoking sonic but he only smokes mids and rolls joints with gum wrappers 

As a member of this fandom for almost 20 years, I have to (unfortunately) agree. It'll happen. Wall Street pyramid scheme Sonic drawings are coming. Stay tuned.

This tweet might have unintentionally created another meme character for the Sonic fandom to latch on to.
 
 

In the span of Robert’s career as Sonic:I found Colors and Generations to be legit good. Other than that, I can’t recommend any of the games besides those two.

Dammit man

Roger Craig Smith announces he won’t be voicing Sonic anymore.
 
 

Update on my dad's Breath of the Wild progress. He wanted to find Hetsu because had a ton of Korok seeds so I told him where to go. Figured I'd let him find out the Master Sword was there on his own. But he doesn't have enough hearts to yank that sucker out. He's been getting those stamina upgrades. 
 
Meanwhile in Age of Calamity, ZELDA's POWER HAS AWOKEN!!!
 
 
Girl just went to one of my least used characters to one of my mains! Ooooo I want this Zelda for Smash!

Ah the days when Marvel legit sold a swimsuit issue in Europe of its most popular female characters.
 
Won't see that from the Big 2 ever again.

Slowly came to the realization that the vampire lady isn't goth at all and just a southern Baptist.   I can already hear her georgia accent

Sourcy hit 100K subscribers. Also his animated Smash Ultimate victory screens have gotten attention from the VG press. This vid includes some of his previous Sephy victory screens with some new ones. 
 
 

Naw, Yumiko is fucking awesome ain't no disrespect not matching girl with the ability to make paper manipulation awesome and badass.

They did it...those crazy sons of bitches did it. I figured they’d never bring these to the west. 
 

The best thing about these Sanrio amiibo cards being in one pack is that when they were released inJapan they came in packs of two and were blind packs. It also obliterates their after market value. Right now a full set of the Sanrio amiibo cards goes for about $250usd.

Probably gives them a good deal more freedom, and it let's them fuck under paying likeness royalties. 

Not enough to where it’s unplayable. I know some maps have a really hard time doing multiplayer but that’s about it. 
 
I 100%ed the game and sunk almost 100 hours into it with zero issues playing

Todadys scoop. 
 

 
They got me again. I own this one digital. Best Buy has Panzer Dragoon as well...probably double dio there as well...*sigh*
