Man, I love me some well-done wizard shit. Yeah, best episode so far. Nice touch that Strange is the only one so far able to perceive the Watcher narrating things.

Finally caved and bought and beat Miles Morales on the PS4. The plan had been to wait and grab the game on PS5 when I got my hands on one, but god only knows when that's actually happening. Good-ass game, even if it's on the short side. Currently doing a second playthrough of Horizon: Zero...

After three episodes, it seems like they're going for an upward trajectory in just how wacky the each successive scenario goes. Assuming they continue on that path, it's gonna be interesting to see just how out there the final episode will be.

Wait, aren't the Aiel, in spite of being desert people, supposed to all be gingers? I thought that was a thing.

My only real critique of the first episode was that for being a 'what if' scenario, not much really changed, so it's good to see that other episodes are in fact going to get more out there.

After picking up some old books recently from my mom, I've started doing a second read of The Belgariad by David Eddings. I've finished the first couple books so far, and there's something about these books that makes them just so, I don't know, 'comfortable' to read. They--apparently quite...

Played it a bit safe in how little things actually changed, but hopefully they'll get a bit wackier on that front as the season goes on. Even with that critique, it was an entertaining episode, and yeah, the animation style was great.

Not a casting announcement I was expecting to see, but sure, fuck it, I can work with that. If they're getting fucking Elba for him, I'm guessing they're planning to make Knuckles less of a dumbass than he tends to be in a lot of the more modern games.

It's exceedingly artsy, which isn't really my scene, but I didn't hate it. Do wish they would've given it a more definitive ending, though.

Highbrow entertainment this wasn't, even by the standards of comic movies, but fuck it, I had fun. How is it that King Shark has absolutely no consistency in his characterization between one comic/show/movie/game and the next, and yet he always manages to be the best? Boggles the mind, but I'm...

So far all the D+ shows are direct continuations off of Endgame, but they're standalone with regards to each other. No need to watch one show to be able to follow what's happening in another.

Wasn't any major feature that had the 'wow' factor for me--have to admit, I don't get how fishing has the level of appeal to serve as a back-of-the-box level feature. But still, I'm very much down for some new content.

Reminder for anyone interested that they're going to be doing the big expansion unveil tomorrow at 9 am Pacific.

The Crusades by Thomas Asbridge. A history on the Crusades--shocking, I know. This is the second book I've read by Asbridge (the first being the book The Greatest Knight, which I believe I've posted about here), and in addition to simply writing good history, he has a real skill for turning...

It's from the first game. I believe that set is one of the armors you can get in the DLC.

I don't think it's necessarily that there are multiple TVAs existing simultaneously, akin to multiple timelines (strap in, I'm going to do time travel mechanics; shit's going to get stupid). The TVA and Kang's hideout exist outside linear time, making the causality of Kang creating the TVA all...

Not top tier MCU, but I enjoyed it. The sister was great, and if the plan is to do a passing of the mantle with her (and it almost certainly is), then I'm very much on board. Also becoming very clear that the Thunderbolts (or something similar) is being built up to.

Not as actively funny as Grand Tour, but yeah, watching Clarkson bumblefuck his way through learning how to run a farm was good TV. Also surprisingly informative.

Got close to getting one off Best Buy last week. Actually got the thing in the cart, but of course it seems that not a single store in the goddamn state was actually carrying it, so that was that. Christ, they need to get these fucking things sitting on shelves.

Decided it was time to start doing a second read-through of Malazan, and just finished Gardens of the Moon. A second read is an amazingly different experience--coming at the story from a position of having some knowledge, and actually understanding the context in the moment when things happen...

I was expecting bulls and/or maneaters, but mournfangs were a big surprise. Preorder race is looking pretty likely, but they could also end up being similar to the Brets at WH1 launch, where they existed as a placeholder with a stripped-down roster until the full race is released. Either way, I...

The full version of the Silence and the Fury trailer (with a release date of July 14). Troglodons and Coatls for the lizards, Ghorgons and Jabberslythes for the goats. Surprisingly enough, the free LL that's launching alongside the DLC is a dwarf, and the dwarfs are getting a smaller revamp...

So that trailer did just end with Wong fighting Abomination in a cage match, right? Of the places where the Hulk extended universe could reemerge, I wasn't expecting it here. Movie continues to look surprisingly good; looking forward to it.

Without giving away the particulars, AWE is pretty clearly serving as the lead-in to the next game, so from a story perspective it's worth playing for that, I think.

Don't know if the freebie version on Epic includes the DLC (or if you've otherwise picked them up), but if so, I'd personally recommend holding off on them until the post-game, and probably do the Foundation DLC before AWE. I believe both of them become available earlier, but I'd say it flows...

Well for that one, safe bet is that they're saving them for the DC fan event in October (although I admit, I had thought that they would at least have something for Gotham Knights at E3).

So, now that this thing's over with, here's the things that actually have my attention: Stuff I'm actually excited for: Elden Ring Breath of the Wild 2 Stuff I'm at least somewhat interested in: I still want to see Starfield gameplay at some point. Likewise, Kena Bridge of Spirits continues to...

Wow, in an already flaccid E3, this might've been the most pathetic presentation of the bunch.

Capcom starting in 5 minutes. Fingers crossed for Dragon's Dogma 2.

According to their twitter, the game's going to be the first one to run on 'Creation Engine 2', which at least sounds like it's going to be a new engine. We'll see, I guess.

I'm cautiously optimistic now that it's been confirmed as a dedicated single-player title; I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it. They do need to get their shit optimized before they launch, however.

Well, Skyrim was announced at the Game Awards way back in the day. Wouldn't be shocking to see gameplay there.

On the regular E3 channels.

PC Gaming starting up. God, the guy who hosts this is just the worst; I'd forgotten just how annoying he is. EDIT: And the skits--Jesus Christ, the skits.

Actually having a trailer for FO76, rather than trying to quietly sweep it under the rug and pretend it never existed. You've got balls, Bethesda

Well, this looks more compelling that most first person shooters, I'll give it that.

Jack Sparrow in Sea of Thieves... yeah, that was just a matter of time.

I will say, Wizard with a Gun's trailer was legitimately great, but the actual gameplay they showed just did nothing for me.

And Devolver continues the tradition of having no games that I actually care about, while simultaneously having the best presentation.

Well, that was a bit of a bust. Depending on what the actual gameplay looks like, the Avatar one might be worth a damn, but aside from that, a whole lot of nothing.
