We live in strange times when AA game titles are returning to over-the-top cool aesthetics and tangible gameplay. The AAA industry has been plagued with bloat, “art projects” and utter nonsense in the last 10 years, so I’ve practically written them off at this point. There are a few gems here and there to be sure, but it’s the exception and certainly not the same as it used to be. Mecha Break isn’t going to win any awards, change people’s geopolitical views, and cater to an audience that doesn’t even care about video games. What it will do however is bring you a fun mecha game with (actual) good looking characters. Too much to ask apparently as of late.

Another week another fighting game tournament, this time its VSFIGHTING XII based in the UK. This is one of the big boy tournaments “across the pond” from where I’m at and is a good watch for the weekend since it features a variety of games to look at. You can click on the image above to see the full schedule and bracket with all appropriate links necessary to start watching.

Artist is Lines Sensei

Last week I posted a waifu so normie I started getting convulsions and went semi-unconscious on the floor. To pay for my grievous sins and heresy, I’m posting a short stack monster waifu goblin-kobold hybrid this week to appease the unknown Eldrich gods that keep this website alive. More importantly however, checkout Line Sensei over on Patreon and send them a few bucks because they deserve it! You can also see more of their work (it’s awesome!) over on Newgrounds.
