This was a super welcome surprise today: there's a #HumbleBundle with almost the entire #EarthDefenseForce franchise except for the newest game Earth Defense Force 6. This is probably my favorite game franchise in recent years.

$25 gets you #Steam keys EDF 4.1 and just about all of its DLC, EDF 5, EDF Iron Rain, EDF World Brothers and World Brothers 2. That's like 90% off or something, I don't do math. Also it's like, charity of something?

If you've never played these games before, they are basically old #Kaiju movies where you play as infantry with increasingly unrealistic weaponry, killing swarms of bus-sized insects and aliens and robots etc. They lean into their b-movie atmosphere, and take themselves hilariously seriously.

Usually I opt for the Japanese audio tracks in games like these but the English dub is so hilarious that you have to keep it on.

The #FurnalEquinox #Inflatable Panel went off mostly okay, but being crowded during setup and not being able to control crowds at the start took a toll on me. It was fun though.

Thanks to all of the toysitters who brought inflatables and helped out.

Lessons learned:
Going forward I’m only bringing three large toys to panels…

The megaphone is more trouble than it’s worth, AV is good at providing a less cumbersome mike…

I need to not snap at people when I’m overwhelmed. Honestly I don’t want to run panels sometimes but who else would, you know?

Mastodon friends! What is: your favourite King Kong movie?

Reminder of all the options:
King Kong (1933)
Son of Kong (1933)
King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)
King Kong Escapes (1967)
King Kong (1976)
King Kong Lives (1986)
The Mighty Kong (1998)
Kong: King of Atlantis (2005)
King Kong (2005)
Kong: Return to the Jungle (2006)
King Kong: Extended Edition (2006)
Kong: Skull Island (2017)
Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)
Godzilla X Kong: The New Empire (2024)

A great ingredient to every Kaiju movie is having your Kaiju pose by an iconic landmark, like the Empire State Building or the Sydney Opera House or the Colosseum.

I know exactly which one I wanna see when there's finally a Kaiju movie set in Montreal.
