I guess we'll be calling it card-stop from now on.
I can't believe these idiots at GameStop are still into bitcoin. They're going to focus more on trading cards now. After I get my pre-orders for Lost Soul Aside, Silent Hill f, and Ninja Gaiden 4 from my local GameStop, I think I will be completely done with them. It's Amazon, Best Buy, and Disc Replay for me!

Well, no, because the joke isn't about Nintendo scarcity, but about Best Buy's decline as a major retailer for several years straight.
Acshooally it’s about how Nintendo isn’t even selling them at Best Buy; it’s just that wolves are stockpiling their latest baby in their lair to raise as one of their own.

Apparently, Sony's idiotic decision to region lock their games on PC has been overturned. I can now purchase Helldivers 2, God of War Ragnarok, and Spider-man 2 (I didn't care enough to check whatever the latest TLOUs are). Weirdly enough, Ghost of Tsushima is still region locked.

So that brings up the question yet again why they even thought this bullshit was worth it. Some people are theorizing it has to do with Stellar Blade's success on PC, but that doesn't make sense to me.

I think that someone in Sony's executive suite is desperate to get PSN numbers up, even if it's to the detriment of overall sales. If so, then it took way too long for them to be overruled.

Whatever, just wash your hands.
@Worgen, there's a new shmup called Earthion. Yuzo Koshiro is doing the soundtrack. Comes out July 31st of this year.
That looks pretty awesome, on the wishlist it goes. Thanks.

ok is weird that somehow even when microsoft does something as consumer friendly as going multiplatform, they still find ways to cause feelings of relief for jumping ship years ago lol

Pik Sen Lim, the narrator from Dark Souls 1 and 3, died on the 9th.


She was the first actress of Chinese descent on British television in 1964, and did several episodes on Doctor Who.
....I can't even think of witty-but-heartfelt Dark Souls joke for this one.

RIP legend. Your opening lines were amazing

18 year is a great run for Peach. Hopefully, the old voice actress can get work voicing other characters. Best of luck to the new gal and hope she has fun.

A quote from Samantha Kelly herself:

"Thank you for so many years of friendship and joy. I'm sad that it's over, I truly would have wanted to voice Peach and Toad forever. Nintendo let me know yesterday that they decided to recast these roles. I'm grateful that I got to do these voices for so many years. Peach and Toad are such strong and beautiful characters that I pray they live forever no matter who voices them. So much love #princesspeach #toad"
Interesting cute little detail hidden in Mario Kart World.


I am actually shocked Cyberpunk 2077 even got into the top ten.

To be absolutely fair, the game is in much better place now. I think I'm more surprised it runs so well on Switch 2.

Also, I do think it's kinda sad that only two of them are launch title, while the other two are overpriced upgrades.

Cyberpunk's main issue was just abysmal performance on old hardware. The game under all the mess was quite solid, it just didn't run worth a damn for most people. Add the tons of updates and dlc it got and I think it's fair to praise it as someone who jumped into the experience after it was all sorted out.

In my head the game just released like 2 years too early.


The only sad thing is that if you only play the version that runs well you will have missed out on the way the early game was somehow littered with dildos all over the place for no reason. Was quite hilarious.

So the price for the upcoming Terminator 2D No Fate has been announced, at $60 USD. At least according to Amazon.

That could mean either this is an amazing game for a 2d shooter game, or something that is over-priced

Even with all the content in the world, a game like that should be priced no more than $40. Shinobi: Art of Vengance is coming out at $30 ($26.99 for those that pre-order digitally early) on all platforms. Everything in that game is hand drawn and animated too.

Man, gaming is in such an interesting place, where you have good games like Clair Obscur and Tainted Grail be sold for 50 bucks or less, and crappy games being priced absurdly. I think whoever is in control has no idea about what value is and people are just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks.
