  1. Lupin III Treasure of the Sorcerer King with Robbie Sherman (Conversations with Robbie Sherman)

    Buckle up for a PS2 heist where Lupin III swaps manga mischief for blocky stealth antics in Treasure of the Sorcerer King, that 2004 gem channeling Monkey Punch’s rogue into disguises-gone-wrong and treasure hunts that test more patience than finesse.

    Joining the vault-cracking crew this time is Robbie Sherman from Conversations with Robbie Sherman, dishing on how the game stacks up to the source chaos of Jigen’s aim, Goemon’s blade ballet, and Fujiko’s inevitable backstab.

    So grab your best disguise and let’s see if you can sneak the treasure out of this one. Either way it’s going to be a blast.

    Learn such things as:

    • When does homage become IP theft?
    • Does it ever work to retcon multiple unrelated characters into a single one and act like it’s not weird at all?
    • Do you really need those side characters? Can’t we just get rid of all of them and follow the main character exclusively?
    • And so much more!

    You can Robbie on BlueSky @convoswrob and his podcast Conversations with Robbie Sherman.

    You can find Play Comics @playcomics.bsky.social on Bluesky, @playcomicspodcast on Threads, @playcomics on YouTube, or the Play Comics website.

    If you want to hear Chris talk with Karrington Martin about the lessons we learned from children’s media and how crazy it is that we’re supposed to just forget about that now that we’re adults, then Sugar, Spite, and Everything is Fine is probably something you should check out.

    A big thanks to Another GI Joe Podcast and Campus Comics Cast for the promos today.

  2. Atención a los que siguen el hilo de #GunplaParaNovatos, este artículo sobre la ciudad de Shizuoka (que se está vendiendo FUERTE como capital mundial de las maquetas) mola mucho.

  4. Yeah I've been playing Code Vein for about an hour now. It kinda feels soulslike, except a bit more faster paced. I can see myself getting used to this.

    I'll be playing on mouse and keyboard cos that's how I finished Elden Ring. I really miss jumping but I'm not missing a ton.

    I still suck at soulslike even though I finished Elden Ring but what made it fun are the people on twitch who watched me suffer through it all.

  5. One Piece Grand Battle with Janine Juliette (D’ohmance Dawn)

    

    Set sail, button-mashers, because this time Play Comics is diving face-first into One Piece: Grand Battle! that PS2 and GameCube special where early Water 7-era drama gets smooshed into a chaos-filled arena and told to play nice. Expect stretchy punches, loud special attacks, and exactly the kind of character balance you’d expect from a game that assumes “pirate” and “fair” don’t belong in the same sentence. We’re talking Straw Hats, shipyards, and the eternal question: “Is this actually good, or do I just really like yelling ‘Gum-Gum’ every five seconds?”

    Joining Chris on this voyage is Janine Juliette from D’ohmance Dawn, here to bring big-brain One Piece insight and just the right amount of gremlin energy to keep things interesting. Janine’s got thoughts on how this slice of the anime translates into a brawler, where the game nails the Straw Hats’ personalities, and where it feels like someone skimmed the wiki five minutes before coding a super move. If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a deeply thoughtful One Piece fan is forced to reckon with PS2-era anime jank, this is absolutely your kind of chaos.

    So grab your controller, your favorite questionable snack, and maybe a backup controller for when Luffy’s rubber nonsense finally pushes you over the edge. We’re digging into how far the game actually gets into the story, why some characters feel terrifying and others feel like they snuck in as a joke, and whether this one belongs on your “must-play” shelf or your “fondly mock from a distance” list. Treasure, friendship, and highly unsafe maritime workplace practices await. Let’s see if Grand Battle! can keep its ship together.

    Learn such things as:

    • Which Straw Hat shines in an arena brawler and which one feels like they forgot to finish the move set?
    • Is this game might secretly be more fun as a chaotic couch brawler than as a serious competitive fighter?
    • How would the internet have broken if people could have known what was to come for these characters?
    • And so much more!

    You can find Janine on BlueSky @janinejuliet.bsky.social and of course her podcasts D’ohMance Dawn and Wrestle Girlies.

  6. A Thing Called Packri Monster (Take 2)
    Sometimes Wordpress is infuriating.

    What I remember doing is working hard on a post proclaiming to the world the existence of a weird offshoot of the Pac-Man universe called Packri Monster. I wrote it, and I saved it (I believe) so it would be posted on the morning of January 16th.

    Well, I just

  7. Bandai is teasing a new Real Grade kit. It’s hardly a tease, since they clearly want us to know what it is. Patlabor!

  8. The Imperialdramon card with my illustration that won the second prize in the Digimon Illustration Competition 2023 has just been released in Japan ✨
    As an illustrator, but also as a great Digimon fan and card collector, holding in my hands a card illustrated by me is literally a dream come true ❤️
    It's an indescribable feeling and I really hope one day to realize more cards for Bandai and Digimon Company!
