#JustBeatIt #Absolum, and indie rogue-lite beat 'em up by the folks that made Streets of Rage 4. Think SoR4 crossed with Hades. I played through the entire game co-op with a friend and got the true ending - and we had a blast. Game-play is so good! Everything else about it was too.

I went to the theater to see Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair last night. This was both movies put together as one, with an additional animated scene with O-ren, the the Crazy 88 fight is shown in color.
I love Kill Bill and this was a great time. No home release or Streaming has been announced.

#JustBeatIt #LostRuins A neat indie Metroidvania. It's a slow and methodical, but lots of weapon and magic options makes for a fun experience. The pixel art is great and it has a lot of cute anime monsters and bosses. Story was interesting too. I got the good ending.

#JustBeatIt #Dispatch This game was phenomenal. Ex-Telltale folks along with Critical Role folks. Voice actors, characters, and the story makes this game special. Everything else about it is great too. I played through twice for both romance options. This deserves to be on goty lists.

Tonight I saw Virgin Punk Clockwork Girl at a theater. It's the latest OVA by Yasuomi Umetsu (Kite, Mezzo Forte). It was awesome! Excellent fluid animation, great music - but the action is what really does it and it is crazy. I had the theater to myself. Sadly only 30 minutes. I hope they do more.

#JustBeatIt #TormentedSoulsII A solid follow-up to the first game, both being old school feeling survival horror but with a modern look. I had a lot of fun with it, but still my only real complaint is the a bunch of the puzzles are just way too obscure to solve - I have to use a guide for them.

I hate having to wait a year and a half for the Tomb Raider 1-3 collectors edition, but happy it's finally here. Main highlight is the pistol display shadow box, basically what made me order this version. And the figures too. Comes with the other obligatory CE staples.
