My world for a metroidvania GI Joe game made by WayForward (see their Aliens DS game and The Mummy Demastered) I’ve long argued that a tactical RPG like X-Com would be an ideal choice. And Mario+Rabbids showed you could “simplify” the concept without removing key fundamentals of the genre...

HISTORY TIME! Hasbro (under Stephen Hassenfeld’s final days) was looking to get into gaming with a VCR based game console in the late 80s. When Alan took over after Stephen’s death, the game console lost its biggest supporter and was scuttled. Tom Zito would take the tech and material...

Truthfully, though? The bulk of Devastation is just a 3D implementation of those old school beat-em up. Aside from a few “runner” stages and the open nature of the rest, the vehicle modes really don’t contribute THAT much to the actual game design. That said…I AM getting a bit tired of a...

Yeah, the lead in the aging North American water infrastructure is probably a FAR greater health concern than whatever adverse effects Flouride might impart.

Most Americans have almost no clue what Project 2025 even means. It has been demonstrated for YEARS that, when presented with policy (without partisan information), MOST Americans actually skew towards Democrat positions. But Republicans are able to sell their spin better, and it’s usually...

Couple of Walmart deals: Energon Glow B-127/Bumblebee is marked down to $15 Jada Toys’ RC Converting Optimus Prime is down to $40 The Thundertron battle pack is still available online for $45 Remember, so long as the seller is Walmart, stores will match online prices.

When I was at Ross, I did not see the Crossover set. It’s probably a YMMV thing. I DID see the Skywarp reissue, though.

Several times!

Transformers One’s underperformance might have been the straw that broke the camel’s (or Cocks’) back. Via Bloomberg (Paywalled, I’m including a link to ResetEra’s forum with a number of excerpts), Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks has announced that Hasbro will no longer co-finance films based on their...

I’m not sure MOST modern games are actually on any of the discs anymore. Anymore, physical discs are simply physical “license keys” to tell the system “Yeah, I bought this game, here’s the proof”.

Just because you can do the school work doesn’t mean you have the sense to apply it appropriately

I’ve long head cannoned Nova Prime into “Grand Universe Finale” Battle Corps Optimus Prime. The Combiner Wars Battle Core Optimus Prime really spoke to me, for some reason. Especially as a white-but-not-Ultra Magnus alternate color set for Optimus. The white with grey and gold just clicked...

Valve is being pro-consumer? More evidence to support we live in bizarro world... https://www.notebookcheck.net/Steam-clamps-down-on-vague-promises-and-missed-deadlines-with-new-season-pass-guidelines.922025.0.html Basically, Valve is laying down the hammer on the current practice of vague...

Amazon has started their Black Friday Week sales, which includes varying discounts on assorted Transformers items, particularly in stock exclusives. The discounts are modest (~15%), but help take the bite out of those larger sets. Assorted other figures are seeing 15-20% discounts including...

It took a month longer than I had originally thought, but... Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen is now available for purchase on PS4 and 5. PLUS! Blood Omen 2 is also available! I played a bit of BO2 back in the day, recall it being..fine...but not terribly interesting relative to the slew of other 3d...

I HATE buying blind box stuff, much less at Walmart. Snagged the last 3 at my local store (in the crafts/sewing area, btw), they looked sealed. But when I got the boxes open, they had clearly been opened and resealed. I did get a nice mix (Jazz, Megatron, Ironhide), but it still irks me that...

What’s probably going to be the final box office update: This past weekend, Transformers One inched across the $59 million domestic mark, ultimately making a million more than Joker 2. The film is down to around 150 reported theatrical locations, and will likely be pushed out next weekend...

Anyone that has been to Ollies, any confirmation on if later waves of Weaponizers or Beast Wars Retrax might be present? Also, Target Circle has coupons for toys running: The 25% off toy coupon seems to have been extended to November 20 There is a second coupon for 20% off “Toys, Tech, Sports...

They can get right in line with the millions of potential deportees that voted for (or supported) Trump because “they weren’t criminals”.

Sure, it’s always an “accident”…
