    The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thread)

    The crossovers in Godzilla comics have been getting insane recently. There was Romeo & Juliet and Godzilla a couple of months ago, and there's a War of the Worlds crossover in August.

    The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thread)

    For better or worse, Platinum's action games haven't deviated from the Bayonetta formula in the last 16 years. Expect two-button weak/strong attack combos and a perfect dodge that triggers bullet time. As for the story, it's apparently based on a grimdark graphic novel where there is only one...

    The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thread)

    That was easily one of the best Summer Games Fest streams. A wide variety of genres on display, and some massive reveals. RE Engine has such a distinctive look that I knew the first trailer was Resident Evil instantly, but I assumed it was the Requiem DLC. It was a huge surprise when it turned...

    Masters of the Universe (2026) Good dumb fun. Both He-Man movies have seemed a little embarrassed by the source material, but it's interesting that they've dealt with that creative conflict in very different ways. The 80s movie distanced itself from the look and feel of the cartoon, cloaking it...

    Yes, very surprising to see Dancouga available again. God bless. I wonder if there's any hope of a few copies of the Goshogun TV series falling out from between the sofa cushions.

    Success. I tried the password reset again and it worked this time. Must have been a temporary problem with the site.

    Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

    The weird thing is I don't remember ever having an account with them. I started off by trying to create an account last week, but got an error saying my email was already registered. That prompted me to try the password reset. Ah, I'll try the reset again in case it just wasn't working at all...

    Has anyone had any luck getting through to MediaOCD's customer service previously? I tried emailing them via their web form last week because I can't get into my account and the password reset emails aren't coming through, but I haven't heard back from them.

    I am shock.

    While that's possible, it's not a foregone conclusion, especially since Discotek tend to be top tier for their DVD encodes too. While not always the case, Discotek often seem to do SD on BD when the source materials available from the licensor aren't of great quality, and therefore wouldn't...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Life is Strange: Reunion When something terrible happens to the characters you love in a book or a movie, it hurts because you care about them, but there's also a thin veneer of distance granted by it being a passive experience. A game like the original Life is Strange was different though...

    Vampire Princess Miyu: The White Album.

    I'll be buying this. Partly because I want to upgrade my ancient VHS copy of the series, but also to send a message that a solution like this is acceptable when the alternative is not releasing the show at all. Copyright can be exhausting to deal with sometimes.

    UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

    It definitely feels like they are trying to phase out their physical media arm. It's not surprising, unfortunately, since it's just something they inherited from the companies they gobbled up and was never their main focus.
