Quote of the Day, It Fits The HELLDIVERS 2 Aesthetic edition.

Not likely to happen, but the thought made me laugh:

During a recent discussion in the Helldivers 2 Discord, Jorjani responded to a fan fan-casting Chris Pratt as a Bile Titan by saying: “We’re all hoping for as many A-list actors as possible. As long as they all get killed violently immediately.”

The thing, though? If the cameos are short enough, you could afford a lot of them. Like, a lot a-lot. I could see somebody doing a gory death in HELLDIVERS 2 for scale, just for the fun of it.

HELLDIVERS 2 to get god-awful movie adaptation.

…In your heart, you know I’m right: “The hit video game Helldivers 2 is getting the feature film treatment! Sony Pictures announced the project during their CES 2025 press conference.” It’s going to be very exciting, really. My eldest loves Helldivers 2, and hasn’t really experienced yet the special pain that comes when a movie studio takes one of your favorite video games, and drops it feet-first into a wood chipper. The life lesson will be good for his development, really.

PS: Trust me, I could have been considerably more… visceral …in that imagery.

Sony reverses course on linking Playstation accounts to HELLDIVERS 2.

Man, I miss the days when you didn’t worry about SEO in your title. I would have totally made a torturous joke about Sony getting swarmed by those ballistic drop bullets HELLDIVER 2 apparently uses. I dunno, my kid’s the one who plays it.

Also: if you happen to have Community Notes access on Twitter – which, by the way, offers endless opportunities to aggravate people who really deserve to be aggravated – there’s an entertaining (if ultimately counter-productive) argument going off inside there. Ach, well. I suppose it was inevitable.
