Me: Boy, I hope a toy company doesn't tease an expensive sixth-scale figure based on my favorite Batman film today. Hot Toys: THINK FAST AND WITH YOUR WALLET!

If I had a nickel for every time Nintendo showed a new Switch 2 exclusive featuring a gluttonous protagonist in its Direct this week, I'd have two nickels - which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Here's a little something I've been cooking up. We're halfway between the 40th anniversaries of Metroid and Castlevania, so we're marking it with our first retro theme week: Metroidvania Week! A full week of cool perspectives and takes on this beloved genre. www.gamespot.com/articles/wel...

gamespot.comWelcome To GameSpot Metroidvania WeekThe Metroid and Castlevania series are both turning 40 this year, so we're taking a whole week to focus on the genre that bears their namesake.

Just a heads-up, it looks like my Twitter account got taken over. I haven't used it in years, so feel free to block it, report it, and ignore it while I try to deal with X's useless support desk!

Got a little smoke machine for my figure videos and photography, and right now, I'm obsessed with trying to replicate the look of Terminator 2 for the next video. DadadadadadaDUN DadadadadadaDUN

Boot up Netflix, and I'm delighted to see there's a perfect trilogy of Star Trek: The Next Generation movies to watch. You've got a delightful passing-of-the-torch flick, Moby Dick in space, and a finale about upholding your principles. What a banger collection to watch this weekend.

It's amazing what a difference lighting can make with these figures. Next project is a short video on the ol' T-800 Terminator, and I can't wait to add some smoke when I start shooting this week.
