A Godzilla museum just opened in Japan. Very soon they will open phase two that includes a ZIP LINE that lets you fly INTO Godzilla's GOD DAMNED mouth.
This is now the greatest thing in the world.

Hello - just wanted to say thanks. My kid was never much into school. But once she learned about you and started following your journey, she’s become super interested in governing, politics, and current events. She’s even in AP Gov now at school. Thank you for inspiring!
Oh, and one more thing: not to get all JK Rowling but when I was working on the origins of Kratos for the first games I knew he was a raging bi-sexual until he settled down with his wife. So Kratos is officially bi. Oh and the Oracle from GOW1? Lesbian, straight up! Boom!

Sad, pathetic, heart breaking. ANYONE who stands up against the sort of 'leadership' they have in IRAN is a hero in my book. Rest in Peace and Power, Mohsen Shekari. Hoping your bravery,strength, and activism serve as an inspiration for millions. Kratos would have LOVED you!

I don't give a fuck about amazing production value+visuals. A great game is a great game. Just starting and so far, so good.
But given how much everyone goes ape shit over visuals, it's staggering how this game can look like this and not get at least a little dinged by reviews.
My pronouns are he/him. Because I refuse to mock people who are risking their safety and lives to openly live life on their terms. History will not be kind to those who were cruel and disrespectful to trans folks. And I hope I'm alive long enough to see and enjoy it.
Goodness this game is phenomenal! What a fantastic sense of adventure!!!
Gamers confuse the FUCK out of me.
They hate the Epic store,they hate Stadia, they hate VR. They basically hate CHANGE.
GAMERS!Who are supposed to be tech savvy and forward thinking.
Seems they'd prefer it if they were still sitting in their PJ's, playing SNES,and eating Trix.
I could stare at this amazing image from Patrick Brown (deviantart.com/patrickbrown) for hours and still find Easter eggs and surprises. Open this up, zoom in, and enjoy the FUCK out of the overall image AND the amazing tiny, hidden details!
Hint: Best MK v SF battle EVER!
I must continually state that Kratos was NEVER a misogynist in GOD OF WAR 1. Like AT ALL. And it pisses me off 'journalists' continue to retcon that game in order to justify the thesis of their GOD OF WAR 2018 stories.

1st few hours of GOD OF WAR were good. Amazingly executed+well written (naturally) but overall it was just 'hey, this is really good'.
Now that it's rolling tho-and Kratos is softening a bit+the world opens up- holy fuck! I GET it! DAMN! Thanks and
Death Stranding looked super dull but it's a blast.
Guardians of the Galaxy trailers looked terrible but reviews are saying it's ALSO a blast.
Maybe demos DO need to come back (or Playstation Trials) cause traditional marketing for video games seems to be dropping the ball.

Hands down, easily one of the very best games I have ever played. This feels like an R rated Zelda mixed with Bloodborne. It is a dream.
Fuck it:I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong.Death Stranding?!? Look, blame Sony marketing cause they made it look dull as dirt. But that game? That Kojima joint is a masterpiece and its design will affect other games-in ways obvious and subtle- for a long time.I was SO wrong.
Congratulations PlayStation Nation!!! You did it!
Now you can all go back to never using these services!

Joking aside, this really is one of the very best games ever made. Good fucking God...
Deleted my tweet where-God forbid!-I expressed some love about ANY other game maker besides Sony.I forgot that was unacceptable and opens me up to a bunch of fucking 30 year old stunted men wanting to go to the mat with 'console war' debates. God, I sometimes hate game culture.
GAMERS: Why aren't game companies more transparent?!? What the FUCK?!?
DEVS: Here is a thought I have.
MEDIA: I'll spotlight ONE PART of the thought for clicks!
GAMERS: I HATE THAT GAME AND THAT DEV NOW!
GAME PR: You may no longer talk to the press openly!
Rinse/Repeat
For those who have been asking for a while: I will finally be playing GOD OF WAR 2018 this weekend on my stream (11-3pm PST) on Sat and Sunday. Members only stream (or at least Members Only chat- not sure yet)! See y'all there! This better be good !!! :)
Returning to ELDEN RING after time playing GOW:R, Evil West, and other more traditional (but WONDERFUL) games reminds me why FOR ME Elden Ring is the most magical, wonderful game ever created.
This is the game I dreamed of as a child reading D&D manuals and playing Atari.
Please do me a favor: if you are really serious and focused on 'console wars', just unfollow me? Seriously, it would help me out a lot. I can't STAND seeing your posts about Sony Ponies and XBOTS and all this shit. It's embarrassing for you and annoying for me. Appreciate it.Thx!
here's useless tweet but if I don't say something i will explode!!!
just found out about a new plaeystation game they are making-no ideaa when it get unveiled (maybe next week, maybe not) BUt just know when it does, people are gonna lose their fucking minds! Bad ass!!!
Fuck you Halo!!! It’s 4:15 and I’m just now going to bed cause your campaign is- mostly- fantastically fun and addicting. You bastards!!!

Is there a Bloodborne remake/remaster coming soon?
Ugh...here:
The more comments I read from Gamers criticizing GamePass' supposed harm to devs,the more I'm convinced these Gamers are under the impression XBOX just decides what games it wants on their service and if you're the unlucky dev who gets picked, woe unto you.
TIP:it's negotiated.
That's like saying we should respect cultures and religions that don't accept Jews, Muslims, Black people, or women. Get the fuck out of here with your backward ass views. Go evolve and good entertainment (often made by progressives) will be waiting for you when you get back.
As a fan of horror, I think this is crazy cool. It's SUPPOSED to be disturbing. It's SUPPOSED to be nasty and gross. That's what's FUN and COOL about it; that's why it WORKS.

Just got word that Playstation legend Kelly Flock died. He's the exec who pulled the trigger creating Sony Santa Monica; he's the guy who greenlit Twisted Metal 2-Black (along w/Jet Moto). He gave SO MANY of us at Playstation chance after chance to get it right and learn. 1/2
Enough time has passed that I feel comfortable finally telling the truth about why I really left PlayStation and God of War specifically.
It was because of Vin Diesel.
This feels like footage from a never released Sega CD game.

I complain TONS about the state of AAA. Many are bloated, self important,+clearly would rather be movies not games. But when AAA works it works it is MAGIC!!! DAMN, Ghost is brilliant+Jin Sakai is my fave new hero this gen! Thanks for this gem!
I wanted to punch MAGA KID in the smug face just like everyone else.
Then I saw the other videos of the scene.
What was once clear was no longer cut and dried.
And yet here we are, 24 hours later, and media's still acting as if the original take is fact.
What am I missing?
I can NOT forgive this!

reddit.com/r/halo/commentI LOVE Playstation: personally, financially, and as an entertainment company. They have given me SO MUCH. But even with that, they should not have said this, IMO. It's just a bad, wimpy look...
Sure but to be fair: PlayStation has two decades of amazing shipped classics+ as credit in the bank. So when they delay or cancel or stumble, it’s logical to see that as part of the process of talent growing and learning. Xbox has-IMO-not yet earned thst faith w/most gamers.
Quote Tweet
Lot of damage control, silence, and no pressing pressure from good old games media. Never saw such a bunch of wimps so limp after being sold bold the week before on the Xbox hate fest tour that went on. Games been cancelled, horrible showcase, GAAS galore and not a peep lol
For the love of God Gamers please listen: save up your cash and when you can afford it, buy a damn pc for gaming. Delays mean NOTHING for PC Gamers cause there is always new stuff to play; like every day there is new stuff!
God Of War turned 15 this year and I FINALLY have the courage to say this out loud: I did NOT create Kratos!
Phew!!! It's like a weight's been lifted!
Ok, I mean I DID create him. But,see, well,it...it's complic-
Ya know what?Fuck it. Here's a video...

No cars this time.
Just Needles, his machete, and his madness!
CAN. NOT. WAIT. to share more in just a few days!
Not to add fuel to the fire, but in my many years at Sony, none of us ever saw in real life. They ALWAYS rolled in a tv and we talked to him on that. Even when we had business dinners with Shu, Sony would set up a tv at the head of the table and Shu would appear on that.
I love Sony and I will be a PS Fan till the end. But come on Sony Fanboys, stop embarrassing yourself acting like the Xbox/Bethesda deal is 'no big deal'. Tip your hat to the competition and get on w/your day. It's the classy thing to do :).
FALLEN ORDER is more Star Warsy than the last 2 main flix combined. EASILY. It's so much fun,so beautiful a world to get lost in. It's like stepping INTO the SW universe. So proud of my pals from the GOD OF WAR crew who made this a reality. My inner 10 year old THANKS YOU ALL!:)

MY EXPERIENCE AS A PARENT OF AN AMAZING TRANS CHILD (a tiny thread:) 🧵
It doesn't matter to this guy tweeting at me-and folks like him-that transitioning brought our child BACK to us. He went from being a happy as fuck kid to a VERY depressed and anxious adolescent.

I don’t doubt your everlasting love for your child, but if you were to truly care about her mental well being, you would’ve put up a tougher fight rather than give up so easily and let her be manipulated by the society that indoctrinates this mental illness as a normal reality

Stayed up WAY too late with CyberPunk. My GOD the scope of this game is off the charts. It's REALLY DAMN GREAT.
It's still so hard to forgive them dropping a shit bomb on release. But still, it's hard not to fall in love w/living in this world. Amazing.
Sadly, that last tweet was a lie designed to just take the piss out of all the haters who are hating on that #PRIDE image of Kratos. I honestly never assumed Kratos was anything but straight BUT fuck it: if he was bi all along and we are just learning that now? Cool! Works4me!
Great job ! But a tip: why not actually quote my tweet in your story?!? Oh that’s right! Cause if you did show the tweet, it’d be clear your whole story is built on a lie.

Another way you KNOW this is Kojima.
A small indie dev would not do this sort of bait and switch.
Kojima will be forgiven for it; but what the app just showed? Man, a small dev would never take such a troll-y risk.
Kojima involved: 90% sure.
That’s so silly, GamePass needs no promotion! Especially when you can play over 100 high-quality games, plus enjoy Xbox Live Gold and an EA Play membership, all for one low penis price. For a limited time, get your first 3 months of Ultimate for $1.
Ok so if THIS is the kind of SMUT writing we can expect to see in Sony Santa Monica’s next game then...well...well then...
Actually, ya know what? I’m totally there for it. Totally down to see where this Giant thing goes.
TL;DR- good hire, !

Jade Raymond lands at Playstation. And once again,I say this:other pubs will offer you the moon,but they can't help you build the ship to get there. Sony can and consistently does because they manage creative process better than anyone else in the biz.More to say on today's show.
Your whole biz is built around ONE game that you have ZERO control over?
Fuck,I've heard of not putting all your eggs in one basket but Ryan seems to be saying they not only did that,but they don't even own the fucking basket.
I get it:he'll say whatever he needs to. But damn.
Messing around w/PS+ Premium. Never actually played ASCENSION so I figured, why not. Good God, how did I allow the world to convince me this was a low point of the series? This fuckin thing is a BLAST! I LOVE seeing my boy tearing it up again! #PROUDPAPA Thanks @ToddPapy!
Please baby Jesus, grant me the patience to not snap when reading all of these obsessive fans bending over backwards to make the new PS+ plans sound like they are interesting and exciting.
TL;DR- The first stage of grief is denial.
Me: Wow! Ratchet is the best looking game ever made!And wonderfully executed!
PS Fanboys: Yeah!We love ya,Jaffe!
Me: It’s solid fun but it’s the same game we’ve been playing for over a decade.Prob a good biz move but I wish it was fresher.
PS Fanboys: Burn in hell,you fat fuck!
Please. I played GOD OF WAR 2018. You are now the master.

Hey, - I have so much laundry to do today. I’m overwhelmed. Can you guys help out? Thx!
Staggered that anyone (including- reportedly- Xbox) is surprised Xbox games are not selling well because Gamers want them on Gamepass. Yeah, that's the whole point. Why buy Stranger Things on Blu Ray when I can just watch it whenever on Netflix?* It is very hard to believe 1/2
I will never spoil developer reveals.
It sucks;it's mean.
But fucking JESUS it's like a fucking BATTLE to say nothing at all! So just allow me to say:I just heard a fantastic rumor (99% sure of it) about a remake of a game and fuck-I wanna tell everyone!!!
But I won't:/.
I'm inches from pulling the trigger on FORESPOKEN at $70. Part of it is the good stuff I'm hearing from people who are playing it-and the fact I DID enjoy the demo. The other part is I want to buy it to spite the assholes who clearly don't like women, black people,or Playstation.

I'm a pretty imaginative guy but I gotta admit: never have I ever considered this fucked up match up :)! Thanks ! :)
I'm missing my parents.
I hate the way people we love just vanish, perhaps forever.
But I sit with the pain and the uncomfortability.
Because it will pass.
And because the pain is also a gift,reminding me how important my parents were to my life and are to my soul.
Did not really like THE LAST OF US PART 1. Slow, didn't care for Joel, felt forced.
Finally spending real time w/TLOU2 tho and goodness, I get it. So amazing, so well made, so engaging.
It ain't no ULTRAKILL (still my GOTY 2020) but damn, I finally get it.
Absolutely shocked how much I'm enjoying this game. I dunno what could have been done different marketing wise but GOODNESS did this look and sound boring as FUCK. And alas...it's really great! Good old word of mouth comes thru! :)
The last FPS I enjoyed as much as HALO was the ORIGINAL Team Fortress. I adore this game!
Just to be clear-cause I would never want to bait people-I have NOTHING to do with GOD OF WAR anymore. I would love more LGBT representation in games,and certainly in GOW.That'd be cool.But this is just me poking the homophobes cause I find them closed minded,dangerous, and mean.
Being accused of making up the tencent thing. Man, I am so sorry some of you guys have been so harmed by the media (I get it) that you don't know who to trust. But love, like, or hate me, I don't lie. And I always save the receipts:

I'm removing all the Sassel stuff from my feed tonight. Screen grab if you must but I wanted to explain: I HONESTLY didn't know he was sick;thought he was just trolling. I feel so horrid. I would NEVER make fun of a sick guy. Just donated to the cause. I am so sorry .
Ok, let me make this clear cause some of y'all are clearly too dumb to understand when you are being trolled:
#1- Kratos is not bi or gay as far as I wrote him. He's straight.
#2- I posted my tweet because I was upset that people were upset by the great image someone made
I would argue you are not really seeing the consumer side. I assume 95% of the people who buy and play TLOU2 (assuming they were fans of the first one) will be anywhere from satisfied to over the fucking moon happy with part 2. What you see here are MOSTLY vocal minority morons.

Our side of the gaming industry, the consumer side, is deeply, disturbingly sick.
The comments. My god the comments.
Love seeing this. It proves what many knew about sub services(PS+& GPass):when it's 'free' (or an impulse purchase- like a movie)-the audience tries stuff that looks cool and only kinda/sorta cares about reviews. And like in the movies,often the audience likes what critics don't.

Sony's requirements to allow MS to acquire Activision:

- No extra content that is not available on PlayStation.
- No hardware enhancements better than PlayStation.
- No Xbox Game Pass benefits.

Good lord- so she has a HAIR condition. Big fucking deal. It's not chemo related; she's not dying. She (and he) are wealthy and privileged beyond belief. And Rock was taking the piss (what comedians do) out of a PUBLIC FIGURE who was sitting front row.
They hate Black Widow, She-Hulk, Ms. Marvel, and Captain Marvel.
AKA strong women who don't pine for male approval.
They love Scarlet Witch, a woman who literally destroys universes because she can't have the man she loves.
