Weekend Discussion - June 3, 2023

Welcome to the weekend! It's time to jump into the Saturday edition of Weekend Discussion.

We hates it!

Dunkey looks at Smeagol game.

Not to spoil a big part of it, but man does that Balan Wonderworld comparison ever put that game into perspective.

Ok, I take it back. That game wasn't any good, either.

Rise of a leader

Check out this behind-the-scenes featurette featuring Peter Cullen and his road to becoming the legendary voice of Optimus Prime.

The Simpsons predict the future... again

PowerWash Sim is probably going to be the biggest VR launch of the year and we will no longer have any defence against this Simpsons joke. pic.twitter.com/indEKWo7y5

At least this time it's funny and not like, "Oh man, The Simpsons called another dystopian piece of our dreary future.

It's a long wait for Season 2, isn't it?

I've said for months that Marvel's Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is probably the best show you're not watching. Disney posted the full season finale, which is the most brutal cliffhanger I'd see until [REDACTED FOR SPOILERS]. Give it a look, get an idea of what the fuss is about, and then sit around like me and wait for the next season... whenever that is.

For now, just enjoy the Chibi Tiny Tales.

Weekend grooves

Take us home, Metro Boomin x Nav x A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie with Swae Lee! Go see Across the Spider-Verse, because it rules!

That's it for this Weekend Discussion! We're excited to hear from you, too, so join the conversation and dive into the Shacknews Chatty comment thread below. I'll see you all next week!

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
