ICYMI I wrote about why Microsoft's Xbox brand needed to put on the kind of quality showcase they provided this past weekend, and highlighted how successful they were, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/examples-of-damage-control-in-gaming-the-power-of-an-xbox-showcase-distraction/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about why Microsoft needed to put on the greatest show they could for their Xbox Showcase this year, and how they succeeded in that goal. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/examples-of-damage-control-in-gaming-the-power-of-an-xbox-showcase-distraction/

It's taking a little while for Metal Slug Tactics to come, but it looks like the wait will be worth it from here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljVNq3x2g_4

ICYMI I wrote about how Summer Game Fest wasn't going to be any better than it was, and why gamers were bound to have too-high expectations for it, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/cognition-dissemination-do-we-feel-festive-about-our-summer-games/

I have seen hell, and it’s… the front page of a mainstream video game website.

You can’t find anything on these. The news and guides sections on them are fighting each other, probably a metaphor for the struggles between the staffers and bosses. Not to mention the ads.

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how Summer Game Fest wasn't going to be any better than it could have been this year, and highlighted why expectations were high for it regardless. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/cognition-dissemination-do-we-feel-festive-about-our-summer-games/

ICYMI I wrote about the massive nerf Velma received in MultiVersus, and how it reminded me of other big nerfs fighting game characters have received, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/fighting-games-friday-jinkies-multiversus/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about how Velma in MultiVersus has joined a small-but-interesting crop of characters who were nerfed too heavily in updates. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/fighting-games-friday-jinkies-multiversus/

ICYMI The Quarantine Control series on @damagecontrolblog reached the 218th installment, in which @silver_huskey, CWTyger, and I wrote about what we recently played, listened to, and watched, respectively. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/quarantine-control-218-sharp-angels-within-the-mirage/

I feel like this is the third story I've seen about Gainax declaring bankruptcy, but I guess this is the "for real this time" version. Studio Khara assisting with the management of this process is poetic, though. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-06-07/anime-studio-gainax-files-for-bankruptcy/.211643

Microsoft potentially remastering the first Halo game *again* is wild enough, but that won't be anything compared to potentially seeing it on PlayStation. It wouldn't be a surprise given recent Xbox software moves, but it's been a long time since we've had a shock similar to Sonic on Nintendo.

ICYMI I wrote about the story regarding the plan for Shadow the Hedgehog to be even edgier than it was, with apparent recordings with f-bombs possibly still existing, for a @damagecontrolblog post. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/cognition-dissemination-lets-hear-those-shadow-the-hedgehog-f-bombs/

I posted on @damagecontrolblog about the reveal that the Shadow the Hedgehog game was going to be laden with f-bombs at one point, and we simply MUST hear the original recordings. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/cognition-dissemination-lets-hear-those-shadow-the-hedgehog-f-bombs/

@silver_huskey Wow, and here I thought you'd have this finished by now (and you probably did too).

@silver_huskey It was those pesky liberals who made the bus crash!

Hey, cool. I love metaphors. https://www.thedailybeast.com/trust-jesus-maga-bus-crashes-into-pole-ahead-of-new-york-trump-rally

ICYMI I wrote about why it would be a good idea for Marvel to tackle more superhero series in the same universe X-Men '97 takes place in, especially Spider-Man, for @damagecontrolblog. https://www.dcgameblog.com/2024/06/cognition-dissemination-lets-explore-the-x-men-97-universe/
