Dans le train de retour de la Gamescom, je fais l'inventaire mental de ce que j'ai récupéré ou acheté à droite à gauche, et définitivement, côté goodies, les grands gagnants, c'est @local-heroes.com. Les petits nerds de la localisation dont les sous-bocks font rire et un peu grincer des dents.

I heard they’re making a new Transformers movie, but this time it’s for KIDS

🥳 Ten years! 10! Yes, Local Heroes is now officially ten years in business! It seems only yesterday that we were celebrating our 5-year anniversary. So hip-hip-hooray and let's have some cake! 🎂

This video is 80s fabulous but it's also an essential historical document. These are very rare interviews by some of the actual founding creators of comics all at a unique time in thier journey. Masters Of Comic Book Art - Eisner, Kirby, Ditko, Adams, youtu.be/_kkzrs1HUsk?...

Arslan Ash is the new head of the Mishima Zaibatsu, dropping the last of all competition down a volcano. What a beast. More broken hearts and crushed dreams than I could count, TWT 2023 Finals' top 8 was the Best Ass Tekken I've ever watched.

The fight intros in Tekken 8 go places

Racking up a solid playtime on the Tekken 8 demo already, with just 4 characters playable. It takes the solid foundation of Tekken 7 and turns it up to 11, rewarding aggressive playstyles. But Ghost Battles are the MVP USP: fighting your own (and others') AI clones keeps even solo play exciting!

In awe of this in-game edit of Into the Spider-Verse's 'Leap of Faith'. The unlockable suits shine once again. What's up, danger!

@kihaishii.bsky.social <3 welcome to blue-er skies!

some older insomniac spidey pieces to celebrate today's release!

I don't normally get up before 7AM, but when I do it's to play Marvel's Spider-Man 2 for the PS5 before I go to work.

Red pikmin, blue sky.
