I played a big beefy chunk of Dragon Age: The Veilguard and... had a great time, actually!
Combat is tough, companions are captivating, and if you're a lore freak you'll likely be saying "thank the Maker" on Halloween.
My hands-on impressions:
the first checkmark, blue, indicates you’ve paid for it while the second, official, is verification. the third checkmark, kibeth, is a difficult and contrary one that can make others go where you wish while the fourth, dyrim, is a musical checkmark that allows or prevents speech
Cartoon Network Studios has announced a new animated shorts program called, aptly enough, Cartoon Cartoons.
Cartoon Cartoons has "a mission to innovate the art of animated storytelling, showcase diverse stories, discover new voices and mentor the next generation of animators."
HBO Max and Cartoon Network have greenlit new animated movie Driftwood and new animated series, Invincible Fight Girl.
Driftwood is a 90-minute movie from Victor Courtright (Aquaman: King of Atlantis)
Invincible Fight Girl is from Juston Gordon-Montgomery (DC Super Hero Girls)
Sonic Origins includes 5 minutes and 30 seconds of totally new animation, directed by
@tyson_hesse
and made by
@powerhouseanim
.
Sega provided me with some character design sheets that are *chef's kiss* and answered other questions about it.
I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Amphibia creator
@Radrappy
one final time ahead of the series coming to an end.
Come for Matt's views on fandom, whether this is really the end, and yes, Anne's shoes.
beware the seventh checkmark astarael, which is also known as the weeper. it is the largest checkmark and throws all that see it, including the owner, deep into death

Ahead of the Amphibia Season 3 premiere, I had a chance to talk with
@Radrappy
all about what's coming, that wild Season 2 finale, and -- of course -- Anne's shoes.
Netflix has announced that Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex has created an animated series called Pearl (working title) that focuses on a 12-year-old girl inspired by historical women.
It is in development at Archewell Productions, and Amanda Rynda is showrunner.
It's nearly October! And that means: new Cartoon Network/HBO Max schedule.
Craig of the Creek Halloween special "The Legend of the Library" airs 10/25 at 7PM ET/PT.
"When the library is thrown into disarray, an ancient ghost is awoken."
idris elba is cool and all but the best part about my brief time with cyberpunk 2077: phantom liberty was seemingly how deeply cd projekt red overhauled systems like inventory and skills

@powerhouseanim
because there seems to be some confusion about this: the full article includes character design sheets for: sonic, tails, knuckles, amy rose, eggman, and metal sonic
amy's my favorite
Netflix has announced Inside Job, an animated series created by Shion Takeuchi and EP'd by Gravity Falls' Alex Hirsch, will premiere 10/22.
Cast includes Lizzy Caplan, Christian Slater, Clark Duke, Andrew Daly, Bobby Lee, John DiMaggio, Tisha Campbell and Brett Gelman.
The one question I keep getting is "ok but who is actually doing this," so:
Cartoon Cartoons' Creative Council: Pete Browngardt, Manny Hernandez, Katie Rice and Aminder Dhaliwal.
Founding partner organizations include Black Women Animate Studios and Exceptional Minds.
I've seen the DuckTales finale. Here's what I can say about it right now: speaking with
@theironwrist
and
@FrankAngones
about it was an absolute delight.
ok last update for a couple different kinds of people in my mentions
1. Yes, you’re not misremembering, this happened before
2. Yes I know that
3. And it was wildly successful!
For you wee ones who don't remember the original, here's the list of CN series that began as Cartoon Cartoon shorts.
It's probably the most successful incubation program for new animated content EVER and every animator on Earth should be delighted it's coming back.
Some good games journalism news for once:

Here’s the last Steven Universe press kit I still have, sent out just before the movie aired last year. QR code goes to a YouTube upload of “True Kinda Love” 🎉
point of order because it will bother me if not said: Disney PR does not call this a "poster" it is key art
S3 starts 10/2, guest stars for the season include Whoopi Goldberg, RuPaul Charles, Kate Micucci, Brad Garrett, and Anika Noni Rose.
Busy day, so I'll come back to this later, but Cartoon Network PR for July 2023 is in.

Adventure Time: Distant Lands new Obsidian special is something else. If the whole purpose of Adventure Time: Distant Lands’ existence was to deliver just this one special, it will have been worth it.

I don't know if you all remember the "I Voted" sticker design contest for Ulster County that went viral and the internet all voted for this design but...it really did win, and they are using it for the current election:
More Amphibia S3 guest stars because I am bad at scrolling to the end of a press release: Archie Yates, Wallace Shawn, Wayne Knight, Jason Ritter, Dana Davis, and Melissa Villaseñor.
There will also be a new Disney Theme Song Takeover w/Marcy about her Newtopia adventures.
Tomorrow, Big City Greens has two whopper episodes -- a D&D one and a musical.
I spoke with Chris and
@shanehoughton
