13 Joseph Joestar’s Hamon Meme Meme by Ketchem1985. Joseph Joestar serves as the main protagonist of Battle Tendency, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure’s part 2, while also appearing as a supporting character in the two subsequent sagas. Joseph is one of the most beloved characters in the franchise, and a lot of that comes down to his approachable and often goofy nature. Joseph’s personality juxtapositions perfectly with Jotaro’s no-nonsense approach to life. While one is unapologetically exaggerated, the other maintains an unshakeable facade in the face of nearly any obstacle thrown his way....

Pokémon is more than just a series of JRPGs developed by Game Freak and published on Nintendo’s consoles. Pokémon is far bigger than an anime series and Detective Pikachu. Pokémon transcends any one specific medium.

Let’s say I gave you three words: “Super,” “Mario,” and “Princess,” and asked you to tell me the first name that came to mind. You’d probably say “Peach,” or “Toadstool.” And you wouldn’t be wrong, because it was an open-ended question and I didn’t specify that there was a right or wrong answer. That’s on me, I should have made the purpose of this exercise clearer. Regardless, I would still be silently judging you, because you would have passed over the Mushroom Kingdom’s most truly memorable princess: Princess Daisy!...

For just a moment, let us all go back to when we were kids. It’s a rainy autumn Saturday morning and it’s much too cold for us to be told to go play outside with the other kids. No, today is an inside day. So we get our bowl of cereal, walk into the living room, wrap ourselves up in our favorite blanket, and prep the GameCube for playtime. The Legend of Zelda theme fills the living room and the next few hours of our lives will be entirely consumed by trying our best to help Link on his quest....

Fire Emblem has always been a relatively big franchise, but never really had mainstream popularity in the West. However, Fire Emblem: Three Houses is now the second game in the franchise to find a major audience - one that rests outside of those that have been playing since the franchise’s inception. It’s a brilliant game. The connections made with other characters are incredible, role-playing as a teacher is an itch that many never knew they had, and the story is incredibly engaging....

Star Wars Battlefront II supports crossplay between Steam and GOG.com. No, not that one. The original one from 2005. See, this is what happens when you don’t name your games clearly.

When it was announced that The Outer Worlds would let you assemble a squad of companions, few people knew exactly what to make of that information. After all, the popular narrative surrounding The Outer Worlds concerned its status as the spiritual sequel to Fallout: New Vegas.
