    HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 2025 GETS SPOOOOOKY!

    ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER SEASON OF SPOOP! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GREAT PUMPKIN! - I MEAN, HAPPY HALLOWEEN, BIC COMMUNITY! This is my favorite holiday - Dress up, step into the role of your favorite characters, laugh, have drinks upon drinks, and just have fun! Unfortunately, while I had a plan for a...

    Halo: Campaign Evolved is the Perfect Example of 'Soul vs. Soulless'

    BRAND MAINTENANCE! Yes, that's exactly the perfect term for it. Like Infinite was doing exactly what you said - building on those new mechanics, and making them work for Halo. Now it's just...It almost feels as sad as Sony re-re-re-releasing The Last of Us or Taylor Swift's 900000 album variants.

    The Deadpool & Wolverine vibe has faded, can Avengers: Doomsday change ANYTHING?

    Speaking of New Mutants, given what you wrote - which I agree with, let's take a break from main Marvel and experiment. Where's N O V A? - you're probably gonna be just as mad as I was at this quote from the film's director, Josh Boone:

    What's the first RPG that You Played, and how Did You feel About it

    Man, I was fortunate to grow up in those emulator days too! As soon as I learned the wonders of ZSNES, it was off to the races - Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire series, and of course (what I consider to be) the most pure perfect RPG of all time FF6. ANOTHER GOLDEN SUN FAN! Man, why won't they...

    Got Anything On Pre-Order?

    Hahaha I hope to be the main representative for that demo! Most of the time, it's just 'dopamine' hit. Sometimes there are lines where I -know- I'm getting in on the ground floor and can cheaply get the set (like the FFVII guys), but for things like, Kamen Rider or Dragon Ball, I really just...

    The Deadpool & Wolverine vibe has faded, can Avengers: Doomsday change ANYTHING?

    This just reminds me that they're gonna do a 'soft reboot' after Secret Wars - and even then, I really don't think that'll get people back in.

    Place Your Bets - Hasbro Thinks A 2026 MTG Universes Beyond Set Can "Rival Or Beat" 'Final Fantasy'

    That's definitely my second guess, I just wonder how bad the reception will be among 'veteran' MTG players, especially with how badly Spider-Man is selling. (Personally, I hope it's not, because that means the Marvel cards would be cheaper for me to get, but that's just a greedy aside hahaha)

    Halo: Campaign Evolved is the Perfect Example of 'Soul vs. Soulless'

    I really don't even know how to open this post, so I guess I'll just start with: Halo: Campaign Evolved is EVERYTHING wrong with the modern video game industry. Like none of this feels 'good': It feels desperate, because Halo Studios/343 Industries hasn't really made a good Halo game in the...

    Return To Cyrodiil.

    Okay, this is sorta completely off-topic, and I don't want to derail, but I legitimately scrolled past this and read it as 'Return to Crocodil' and I was like 'DANG, what new esports tech am I unaware of?'

    Got Anything On Pre-Order?

    As a single male in the 18-45 demographic with no hope of escaping America's current economic enshitification, I collect A LOT of figures. I'm sure I'm not alone, so fellow toy collectors, I wanna know what you've got coming down the pipeline! I just had a bunch of pre-orders come in - Marvel...

    If you could merge two heroes into one character, who would you pick?

    I could wish, but by some actual miracle, Marvel and DC actually got ahead of me and mashed-up two of my favorites, Superboy (Kon-El) and Spider-Man (Ben Reilly), during the Amalgam Comics event! BEHOLD, SPIDER-BOY! SPIDER-BOY REMAINS UNDEFEATED!

    What's the first RPG that You Played, and how Did You feel About it

    I think my first ever overall RPG was Pokemon Red, which I picked up at an EB Games (Remember those? Canada still has them, but Gamestop took them over here in the US) like, on launch week because I simply liked the "cool red dragon" on the cover (Charizard). For a more proper one, probably the...

    Prison Break is getting a spinoff, but it feels a little blunt

    I don't really have anything of substance to contribute to a Prison Break convo (I only saw like, the first two episodes when they aired), but this is as good of an excuse as any to share one of my favorite title cards from the gag anime Gintama.

    Place Your Bets - Hasbro Thinks A 2026 MTG Universes Beyond Set Can "Rival Or Beat" 'Final Fantasy'

    So, during Hasbro's Q3 2025 earnings call, one of their execs boasted that one of next year's MTG Universes Beyond sets - TMNT, Marvel Superheroes, Star Trek, and The Hobbit has a good chance of doing just as gangbusters as Final Fantasy. Mind you, Final Fantasy pulled $200 million in revenue...

    The cast for Visionquest is out

    I'm admittedly pretty excited to see Bettany and Spader again...but I'm also skeptical about the whole 'They're all gonna have a human form'. How many shows and movies have we had with "AI/machines being depicted in/given human form'? Murderbot, Star Trek: Picard, Tron: Ares. I feel like it's...

    Second Game Crash?

    I actually genuinely believe it would. In recent years, and ESPECIALLY after the Pandemic Boom, most major studios have gotten, for lack of a better term, fat and lazy. They kinda take players for granted, shoveling out incomplete, broken products with some of the worst mechanics and narratives...

    This McDonald's x Street Fighter Collab Is Hilariously Peak

    Over in Japan, McDonald's and Street Fighter have teamed up for some themed meals and free SF6 DLC skins. This has resulted in just some of the best, and just honestly most incredible artwork and advertisements being created: SURE, THROW A VTUBER IN THERE TOO The main ad also features...

    Zootopia got everything right, except the popcorn bucket

    Speaking of popcorn buckets; I'm not really a fan of them, but I gotta say the new Chainsaw Man one is pretty damn good haha.

    Justice League Unlimited #12 - Batman Beyond Identity Reveal Is A Kick In The Junk

    Okay, so, if you've been paying attention to DC canon recently, you'll know that recent events have left a handful of time-displaced Justice Leaguers trapped in our time. They've been teased in the background for some time, but in today's JLU #12, they properly identified everyone on the team...

    Flash #26 - Holy S***, Mark Waid Doesn't Miss A Beat

    Alright, as anyone who's read the recent Si Spurrier Flash run can attest, the Scarlet Speedster hasn't exactly been in the best place. Spurrier realized that a few months back and ducked out early, so DC asked Mark Waid to come back to Wally West and Impulse for the first time in like, what...
