The Tower recently launched in Diablo 4, adding the long-awaited leaderboard system to the game.

If you’ve ever seen the episode of Justice League where Darkseid stomps on Superman’s face and Superman shoots heat vision through his foot? That’s my foot right now.

I found this post on Reddit and frankly, it resonated with me.

When life is crazy, when insanity seems to dominate the world, stop and think. Is this the life Godzilla wants for you? Does Godzilla want you to endure unassisted or would he have you call to your allies, much as he does? Find your personal Rodan, your Mothra, even your Kong — sometimes a frenemy who respects you is better than a friend who doesn’t.

Always remember — Godzilla wants what’s best for you. Unless you’re the municipality of Tokyo, I guess. He’s really rough on that. Also, MusedMoose, I’m sorry I didn’t see you had posted this before I wrote the intro, but I’m pleased to see you understand Godzilla’s message.

There are a lot of options if you want to play a Diablo game right now. Diablo 2: Resurrected for people who crave the most iconic and most famous ARPG in existence, Diablo 3 if you want to play a very fast paced, very entertaining game about exploding demons, Diablo Immortal if you want to play Diablo 3 on a train or in a doctor’s office (and please try not to scream in triumph when you crush demon heads) — but for me, I keep coming back to Diablo 4.

Maybe it’s because I can customize the character to a level never before seen in a Diablo game. Maybe because I find the current state of gameplay to be fascinating and extremely fun — my Paladin was an absolute blast to play and now my latest Barbarian has hit upon a build that absorbs so much damage, guys. I’m legit astonished.

It’s the Queue. I love Diablo 4, so smash another hellspawn’s cranium baby.

ThunderCats was one of the big names in animated 1980's toy commercials disguised as children's entertainment, and soon it will have its own TTRPG.

Let’s not waste time.

It likes when I give pets. Sure, it’s a robot that floats and can shoot people with the gun mounted to its tail, but it still likes a good skritch.

To be fair, nobody said there would be any, I was just being careful.

It’s the Queue. No werewolves yet. Fingers crossed.

Honestly, between the trench warfare. the weird poison gas that powers everything (so it’s like a combination of the rise of tanks and aircraft and the use of mustard gas) and the aesthetic of things like the big air cooled machine guns, it feels like Obsidian was making Battlefield 1 in the Outer Worlds setting.

So it’s an extremely satirical, science fiction analogy for The Great War, and it’s surprisingly good at displaying how great it really wasn’t.

Because it took the anti-capitalist message of the first game and not only magnified it, but also threw in anti-colonialism, totalitarian regimes, and how the good intentions of someone do not serve to protect people from people who will use their creations with bad intentions. And I’m about half way through the game.

I honestly don’t know where this game will end up in the whole ‘game of the year’ list I’m composing in my head f0r no good reason, but it’s already ahead of Expedition 33.
