I posted on @damagecontrolblog about why Square Enix might be in the middle of a transitional phase regarding their upcoming software, and why we should enjoy it while we have it. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/cognition-dissemination-square-enixs-swan-song-of-sorts/

To somewhat commemorate the announcement of a new Ranma 1/2 anime adaptation: The first ending theme pops up in my head every now and then. It's ridiculously catchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvT4rrHI-Nw

@silver_huskey Yup! I think it was on Paramount Network. I was mind-blown.

@silver_huskey I did a double-take when I saw it on TV. I thought they were still advertising Rebirth at first, until the end.

I thought I was having a fever dream when I saw a mental health ad featuring Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but apparently this has been around for at least a couple of months now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ru8kDGPv2G0

ICYMI I wrote about who could be developing the recently-announced Mario & Luigi: Brothership for @damagecontrolblog. There are good hypotheses, but Nintendo's unlikely to confirm anything before it releases. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/cognition-dissemination-whos-forming-the-brothership/

@silver_huskey Yeah, seems that way. It hasn't been too overwhelming yet, but they were at it for multiple hours. 😩

It's nice to hear that it's officially Independence Day Fireworks Practice night around here. It was bound to happen one day soon, so I'm not surprised that not even inflation has stopped these dudes.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about who could be developing Mario & Luigi: Brothership. This is an open question since AlphaDream died nearly five years ago, and Nintendo's hilariously secretive about this stuff. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/cognition-dissemination-whos-forming-the-brothership/

ICYMI I wrote about why you shouldn't wait to pick up the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics package from Capcom, because history shows that it won't be around for long, for @damagecontrolblog. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/fighting-games-friday-marvel-vs-capcom-returns-for-now/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about why no one should wait to pick up the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics package when it releases later this year. Prior releases suggest that it won't be around for long. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/fighting-games-friday-marvel-vs-capcom-returns-for-now/

ICYMI We combined our Summer Flame Day entry with the ongoing Quarantine Control feature on @damagecontrolblog, in which @silver_huskey, CWTyger, and I wrote about what was bugging us this year, to put it lightly. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/quarantine-control-220-the-summer-flame-day-edition/

ICYMI I wrote about how the superlative the latest Nintendo Direct installment was, especially considering the Nintendo Switch is in its twilight years, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/nintendo-direct-06-18-2024-the-switchs-twilight-princess-years/

@silver_huskey Yeah, it took me a bit, but then I saw the resemblance after a bit and compared the names. I knew you'd get a kick out of it.

@silver_huskey Right? It's wild. It's even wilder when they're two *very* different characters.

Speaking of The Boys season 4, I still can’t get over this. I know it's been pointed out several times, but it sends me in nearly every scene she's in.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how exceptionally great today's Nintendo Direct was, with plenty of great first-party and third-party games shown despite the Switch being in its EIGHTH year. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/nintendo-direct-06-18-2024-the-switchs-twilight-princess-years/

The Boys might be *too* overt with the political themes in season 4 thus far, but I'm not complaining. Not that the previous seasons were subtle despite it all going over the heads of a certain audience, but the showrunners are clearly done playing around this season.

ICYMI I wrote about how incredible it is that Marvel is having this much trouble getting a Blade movie produced, of all films, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/cognition-dissemination-the-cursed-blade/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how wild it is that Marvel Studios is having trouble even getting production started for the Blade movie, of all films. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/cognition-dissemination-the-cursed-blade/
