All we need at this point is a sequel to the Ratchet & Clank movie and we can have a three-way dance.

So in the current flight test build, if you swap weapons while doing a melee attack you cancel the animation, meaning you can do stuff like this pic.twitter.com/Su9rQXJnVJ

Plus, how many Photo Modes actually let you pose and say "Cheese!" for the camera?
I'm actually still running through this for review at the time of this writing, but don't wait for me to tell you get this, because it's awesome.
In movies or in video games?

I'm sure the Muppets Haunted Mansion will be fun, but there's nothing like the classics.
IT'S STILL REAL TO ME, DAMMIT!

I miss the old NXT.
Plus, AEW Rampage is just about to wrap up as this feature goes up, so let's revisit one of the cooler moments from Dynamite. (Non-Omega/Danielson division)
And, lastly, if you missed the trailer earlier this week, here's a trailer for the bizarre (but oddly fun-looking) Netflix interactive movie coming in a few weeks, starring The Undertaker and your boys, the NEW DAY~!
Also, does Undertaker turn into a f***ing Resident Evil demon at the end of this trailer?
Tonight in video game music
Because if you've played Deltarune Chapter 2, you might have seen the Game Over screen once or twice.
