Am I the only guy who saw the video thumbnail and thought it was just Chris Kohler?

It took two years, but someone finally agreed with me!

Apparently it’s on the Gamescom showfloor, even if it wasn’t highlighted in the video presentation. It’s still comin’.

What really gets me is that they chose to loosely base its title and logo design on Streets of Rage, even though it isn’t a side-scrolling beat’em up, nor anything else to do with Streets of Rage. I kinda hate the name.

Nintendo did eventually give Yakuza a chance with a 1+2 remaster collection released on the Wii U, only in Japan. I think it was available within a year of the system’s launch there.

White Diamond is still a bit of an unknown in terms of the threat she could pose— as soon as Steven tries to leave Homeworld or enlist her aid to heal the corrupted gems, we’re likely to see some friction. There’s also been some vague implication that Homeworld is at war or in some sort of resource crisis of its own,…

Conveniently Steven is worrying about something completely different during that span of episodes— if it were any other time and Steven saw Pearl fighting with her own arm, he definitely would’ve asked what’s wrong.

Amethysts overall are a good-natured group. They even provide minor therapy for crying zoomans.

We’ve learned some important things about Pearl since the episodes you’re talking about aired, but I honestly still can’t rule out that white diamond possibility.

I like that episode quite a bit, and that “Fifteen Minutes” song by Mike Krol is super catchy to me. Sadly, Bad Pearl’s cool jacket outfit has yet to resurface.

I don’t even care about Zack flipping off the crowd. It was a suitable retaliation for the crowd’s earlier booing, the crowd deserved it, no qualms from me there.

Even if people were jerks to you first, I’m still going to condemn the fact that you took a dump on the carpet, spite or no spite.

It’s totally fine if the final two competitors are friends. It’s fine if they enjoy themselves, and of course it’s absolutely fine if they both play the same character, even if it’s a character as disliked as Bayonetta is.

Lapis is so complicated and varied across her appearances that it was hard for me to get a good read on her. Sometimes she’s very clearly preoccupied with the traumas of her past, other times she’s simply depressed and detached, and other times she’s engaged enough to drop a joke or just go with whatever’s happening…

I can’t think of many fans who weren’t fully convinced of Pearl’s affections for Rose long before “Mr. Greg”, but it really is a fantastic episode. It’s just a nice bit of catharsis for Pearl to sing her inner conflict out for all of us to hear in such heartwrenching fashion, and for she and Greg to finally begin…

You’re getting to the season that aired 20 of its 25 episodes in less than a month during an intense “Summer of Steven” event, which was the densest the premieres ever got (or ever will get, I’d wager). This season has one of my favorite episodes (and yes it’s about Pearl again).

In one of the earlier episodes they showed how Pearl hogged the chorewheel on the fridge because she finds chores fun. Some programming just never leaves you.

One thing I find particularly good about the show’s approach to these things is that it focuses on portraying humanity first, and everything else second. No one really mentions anything about LGBTQ issues overtly, because they all live in a world where it’s a non-issue (and not in the bad way where they just erase all…

Fusion really is fascinating. The show obviously uses it to talk about consent here, but it’s juuuust abstract and different enough from actual human interactions that it can contort to represent other aspects of relationships, including non-romantic ones.

Oh there’ll be a-grapplin’, alright.
