...wait, there's a Garfield movie tie-in game?

There's a Garfield movie tie-in game with smooth (from the looks of it) platforming controls??

I'm glad they found a use for all those spare PS4 internal fans.

There's a handful of times I don't want something spoiled, yet just as many times, it's spoilers that actually got me to engage with something in the first place.

I will only accept this remake as worth a glance if Cass from the TV show appears as a supporting character.

The headline reads: The 'Tangled' Remake Is Back on, and Scarlett Johansson Might Be Joining.

Subheading: 'Greatest Showman' director Michael Gracey is still attached to direct the live-action remake.

If I got a nickel for every time Hellraiser has been referenced in a thing for kids, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice!

Found a picture - not a great angle but you get the idea. It's from Chapter 4 of Episode 4.

An elaborate maze in Minecraft: Storymode, with the player navigating along a thing bridge of polished stone. Lava tubes can be seen in the distance. An inventory of their items is off to the lefthand side.

It's wild to think there's a homage to this in Minecraft: Storymode

Unrelated to the aforementioned review but: It's fascinating how Nathan Lane's two biggest roles recently involve both the theater AND his character ending up arrested.

perry the platypus is talking to a robot with the words " it 's weird that it happened twice right ? "

Alt: Dr. Doof from Phineas and Ferb says "It's weird that it happened twice, right?" as a puppet face of a robot overlord zips away from him.

I'm still getting a grip on what all is out there, but I recall the YouTuber Minaxa covering a few of them? Also, Sagan Hawkes.

FWIW, I did a piece on the remaster recently. It's far from a perfect game, but they did an outstanding job capturing the idealized version the original devs were aiming for: unwinnable.com/2025/06/11/t...

"We say that children are our future, but they’re shaped by our actions today."

@unabridgedgamer.bsky.social explores Bioshock 2's portrayal of the ways that our deeds affect the morality of our children:

Ooh, hrrrm, have you done Monica Rambeau?

Though if I could also throw in a more niche character... I could see you having a lot of fun with Nilin from Remember Me.
