ShackStream: Becoming cannon fodder in Battlefield 6

Battlefield 6 is officially released, and it's time for Jan to dust off his boots and revisit those glory days. Or just shoot wildly at things.

Researching for this week's deals posts and it's mind-blowing, and sadly entirely expected, that I've found THREE Peak knockoffs on the Nintendo eShop that have hit in the last two weeks. eShop curation as top-notch as ever.

It probably speaks to how old I'm getting, but my reaction to this was less that the Dodgers won and more heartbreak for Kerkering. That's going to haunt that poor kid forever.

Before today's announcement, I had a chance to chat with the Invincible VS team at Quarter Up about what to expect from Story Mode, as well as the challenges of designing Cecil as a human fighting among superhumans and superpowered aliens.

How Invincible VS designs a man among gods with Cecil Stedman

Prior to the announcement that Cecil would join the Invincible VS roster, Shacknews spoke with the Quarter Up team to discuss his creation, as well as the upcoming Story Mode.

Cecil is the latest fighter to join the Invincible VS roster.

I'll have more about this shortly, but in the meantime, here you go!

It's like when I was into The Beatles in the 90s.

That jacket!

There's gotta be at least a small chance it hits the Nintendo Store in SF, right?

Here's an early look at the life-size Chikorita, Tepig and Totodile plushies coming to the Japanese Pokémon Center, as well as the protagonist jacket from Pokémon Legends: Z-A! 🌱🔥💧

Feeling really happy for @pidgezero.one and her Blue Jays.

Now I'm just going to watch the Dodgers potentially choke this series away.

I said the same thing on our podcast last week. The outlook for the business is bleak, but this year, in terms of quality video game releases, has been incredible.

Rolling up to anybody prepping their "2025 was a bad year for games" takes like

In terms of karma, I'm playing with house money with the Monopoly game. I'm never topping the year that I won $200 during one of my late-night lunch hours at THQ.

And so, the journey begins.

Tired: Subscription is THE future of video games

Also tired: Subscription has NO future in video games

Not really wired but better than the other two: Subscription is just one part of the options available, will work for some players/games, won't work for others. It's fine.
