TFW Top Gun: Maverick won't release physical until November 1st.

Not even Sonic 2 was that long. Jesus...

Edit: Oh right...They're both under Paramount so that Paramount Streaming is probably the reason for that then.

 

[Noipoi]

I will finally play Fortnite if they put in Peter Griffin.

Hold me to this.

Wow, I forgot how long it takes for Limited Run to get their games sent out. I ordered the Classic Edition of Castlevania Requiem in January and I ordered the Classic Edition of Contra Anniversary Collection in May.

I have yet to get either of them…

Aaaand I’m about to order Doom Eternal Steelbook Edition for Switch and Doom 64 Classic Editon for Xbox…

I’m part of the problem aren’t I?

 

[Z25]

I had to get back in and check out the update. The DBZ fan service for this collab and event is really nice. But what’s better is I can give hinata the powers of a sayian

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Oh, okay. I thought it was a Fire Emblem Fates type thing where despite the characters looking underage (like Corrin's little sisters), the developers acted like they were actually 18.

Nope. In an interview, Saitom also mentioned that Rex and Pythra's age gap was something he wanted to visually communicate by making Rex a shrimp. Also, that Fates thing was only in the localization, Japan kept those characters as minors despite Japanese consent laws making those big nonos

This is still such an awesome Korra moment

Back in the 90s, when Pokemon was first coming to the West, Nintendo of America suggested westernized redesigns for the original 151 Pokemon.

The only art of these designs I can find is the Charizard line.

Do you get it?

Do you understand what we narrowly avoided?

They could've all been scrimblos

I think the longest for me was waiting for the Blaster Master Zero 3 CE to come out. Ordered it June of last year and didn't get it until last month. I actually only just picked up Mushihimesama for Switch this weekend after I had ordered it last November.

I think I currently have 4 multi-game packages I'm still waiting for, the earliest being from February now. When I get my next paycheck, I'll probably also order Rendering Ranger R2 for SNES as well. I'm definitely part of the problem.

Limited Run's business model has changed drastically over the past few years so ordering anything from them you're best off expecting at least a 6 month turn around. Good things come to those who wait is my general outlook.

When humanity gathered together in order to build a tower that reaches the heavens, the god decided to punish them for their arrogance, cursing them for eternal confusion and miscommunication, never again being able to fully understand each other.

And this is how timezones came to be.

If anyone cares about Famitsu scores while buying games, Soul Hackers recently got a 38/40 from them.

Notably, this is the second highest score they ever gave to a Megami Tensei game, with only the vanilla Persona 5 surpassing that.

 

[Alphine Agnitio]

I might try it again one day, but TF2 is still the FPS I return to.

Fortnite sure is a video game.

Seeing Spider-Man Rasen-Shuriken and Venom Kamehameha is something else I tell you.

Famitsu's scoring system is ****ing whack but I'd be real happy for a W here, especially as I'm still mad I can't play Soul Hackers on my 3ds due to my busted dpad lmao

I know! I thought NoA wanted to redesign the Pokemon because they thought they wouldn't be "badass" enough for Americans.

...but what the hell is this?

 

[osby]

That's what he gets for having more than one special form.

While we're on the topic of Pokemon

DAILY DEMON SHOWCASE

This showcase's demon is of the Snake race:

“I am Snake Ouroboros! I shall rend your enemies to the particles in the infinite of our cosmos!”

Alignment: Neutral-Neutral

Origin: Worldwide mythologies. Ouroboros means “tail eating” in Ancient Greek and is a term that refers to the ancient symbol depicting a serpent or dragon eating its own tail. It symbolizes eternal cycles, transmigration of souls, fertility, and the circle of life. Ancient Chinese, Greek, Nordic, Egyptian, and South American people are known to use this snake. Ouroboros is also similar to mythic serpents such as Ananta Shesha, Yurlungur, and Leviathan.

Skills: Storm Dracostrike, Samarecarm, Megidolaon

Next time, you will meet a demon of the Fairy race.

Spoiler: Design Notes

It’s pretty cool how Ouroboros’s design keeps the “eating its own tail” angle but also adds a neat infinity symbol. Ouroboros has a big role in Strange Journey and its silvery color scheme easily allows it to fit with other mystic goddesses. Speaking of which, Ouroboros is also compared with the Buddhist notion of samsara by modern academicians, which SMT heavily uses as it is shown to be a demon who hates transient things.
