Crackdown 3 has been in development for like 9 years. Never thought I would see this game actually come out. I remember it originally being announced for Xbox 360.

It's that Halle Berry movie with that terrible tagline "These Pretty Women.... are Clueless!" because they didn't know what movie they wanted to reference.

I mean I could just tell you what anime I'm watching or you could guess, bringing up things so horrible that when it's revealed I'm watching The Seven Deadly Sins, it will be disappointing.

i've heard the seven deadly sins is alright, not amazing but it's pretty inoffensive and the character designs are decent

my anime recommendation for this season for people who don't watch a ton of anime and who aren't obsessed with jojo is mob psycho. the first season of mob psycho was pretty cool, the second season's been airing and been pretty solid too so far

I fell off that manga relatively early on and haven't watched the anime. The author's previous manga Kongou Banchou rules though and you should read it. It's a travesty that it has no anime.

bad news, one punch man season 2 probably isn't gonna be as good cause its production has been real weird and none of the staff from season 1 are returning

good news, mob psycho is the same writer and while season 1 kinda has a couple weak episodes early on it's got a stronger narrative core than opm while also still being pretty funny

well. reigen gets a lot of actually pretty interesting development in s1 and s2 is kind of about mob learning to detach himself from reigen and live on his own

I think there's definitely a market for people who wanna play an 8-10 hour action game and be done with it that isn't really being catered to in the B-tier space right now.

if every fight in baki was as good as the fight between spec and kaoru hanayama it may have surpassed even jojo in my eyes but unfortunately 95% of everything else is guys spending 10 minutes monologuing about their super secret technique and how it was used to fake the moon landing by ancient aztec scientists before immediately getting instagibbed by the other guy's super secret technique developed on the african savannah in order to eat dinosaurs which he also explains over a 15 minute monologue

That racing minigame in Travis Strikes Back is really lame, I still have no idea what I'm supposed to do even after reading the tutorial multiple times.

At least it got me listening to the No More Heroes soundtrack again. It's still good.

the current two-parter in mob psycho is kinda cool because it's specifically about, mob realizing that reigen kinda bullshits a lot and deciding he'd probably be happier if he lived his own life, and reigen realizing in mob's absence that his own life is kind of empty and aimless. so the show does, actually change up their dynamic a lot

also for a thing called baki there's very little baki in it and most of his time is spent making those anime gasp/grunting noises along with his girlfriend One Dimensional Love Interest while all they do is walk around japan

Hold down accelerate, when the RPMs are close to maxing out you hold down the clutch and move the selected gear from 1 to 2 and release clutch and repeat until you're at top gear then use the boost and you'll win.

I don't really watch endless shonen anymore(or anything else, to be fair) but everything I've seen is either some characters using their Limit Breaks and trying to be cool or the giant waifu so you're at least halfway there.
