I didnt manage to convince the art team to do the Dragon mounted gattling gun, but I had some fun with his info page:

Dr. Morbin-stein's Monster - Morbius made him surprised it got approved

Unstoppable Machine - nod to Jason's MKX move "Killing Machine"

Crushing Blows - nod to MK11 Krushing Blows

My principal gameplay inspirations for this big lug were Jason from MKX and Bane from Injustice 2, particularly their "Armored Run" mechanic

I also took a lot of flavor inspiration from @mattmcmuscles.bsky.social's love for the sillier side of Punisher history (despite his distaste for MCOC itself)

Franken-Castle!

He was a treat to work on, and a character I've been pitching for MCOC twice as long as I've worked on MCOC.

I adored the Franken-Castle run by @remender.bsky.social and co. back in the day, and I declared a hard DIBS as soon as I saw him on the roadmap ha

Woke up to an invite code I must have received right after I went to sleep late night.

Time to hop in and get mauled after missing like half the beta haha.

That said, the baked in tutorial is probably one of the better Arc System tutorials since like FighterZ?

Being a parent means occasionally getting to buy a sonic ice cream for yourself from the ice cream truck.

It also means giving it to your kid because they chose a snowcone that was frozen solid.

Which also means tossing the snowcone in a blender and adding some rum to it.

A very, very big week for me.

10 Years of Mortal Kombat X is wild to think about, probably one of the most important games to me in my lifetime.

You can remove the shared Lifebar thing, but don't you dare change the gameplay.

Right at the top of my watch later, hits that nice venn diagram of personal interests (fighting games) and work stuff (mobile rpg that takes a lot of influence from mtg)

Played Xrd for a few hours tonight for the first time in probably years?

It's not the best move, but oh baby I've missed this move

Fucking hell LinkedIn, work on your sales pitch. Might as well just say "Don't forget, you're here forever"

I'm noticing something about Glorio in Dragon Ball Daima

Coincidentally, I packed up my shelf today for a move. Much less sentimental, but there's some neat stuff I've had for up to 20 years buried behind all the McFarlane MK figures (newest acquisitions).
