If you were unaware (as I was), there is a DC Comics squad-based strategy RPG F2P mobile video game called DC Worlds Collide. I've not played it myself, so I'll have to point you to dcworldscollidegame.com for even basic information.

The reason I mention this game that I have not played is because this week Booster Gold (and Skeets!) was added as a playable character.

According to the YouTube video "DC Worlds Collide - Booster Gold Kit Preview!", this is the launch announcement sent to existing players:

Booster Gold Legendary Character Announcement

Booster Gold is a Legendary Support Hero who turns Shock into a powerful tool for controlling the pace of battle. His attacks rapidly build shock on enemies, while Skeets targets the most heavily Shocked opponent to Knock them Back, trigger their Shock damage, and interfere with their Ultimate and Advanced Skills. His Ultimate takes things even further by rewinding time, hitting and Knocking Back the entire enemy team while restoring damage Booster Gold has recently taken.

Booster Gold also brings a new Team Synergy built around Shock-focused teams. As more of the synergy is unlocked, allies become stronger, Shock deals more damage and stays on enemies longer, and Knockback becomes even more rewarding by allowing Shock damage to trigger an additional time. Combined with his ability to resist Knockback, counterattack enemies who try it, and regularly provide defensive buffs to his team, Booster Gold keeps the Shock engine moving while making life considerably harder for the opposition.

His Badge, Team Manager, further enhances Product Placement and rewards teams that manipulate the Action Bar, turning Booster Gold into an even stronger source of healing, tempo, and Energy.

- Product Placement also heals his team for 10% of their Max HP
- Using Goldstar Gambit progresses all allies by 15% on the Action Bar
- When allies progress on the Action Bar due to a skill, add 1 Energy

Dates & Details

- Increased change to obtain Booster Gold from August 28 (UTC) through September 03 (UTC) in the Event Mother Box! Within 150 Recruitments, at least one Legendary character is guaranteed. Whenever you earn a Legendary character in the Event Mother Box, that character has a 100% chance to be Booster Gold.

- Sometime after the event, Booster Gold will be added to the Legendary and Weekly Recruitment Mother Boxes.

That sounds good, I guess. I have no idea what a Shock-focused team looks like — Black Lightning? Lightning Lad? Static? Jenny Sparks? Electric Superman? — but I'm tickled green to see Booster has an ability called "Product Placement" that heals people. Capitalism for the win!

To show you what the character looks like in the game, I took the following screenshot from a different YouTube video ("DC Worlds Collide - Booster Gold Summon #DCworldscollide #boostergold #DCUO"):

Disclaimer: Your Booster may not be so godly. From what I understand, character stats are based on the overall squad level.

If you're even slightly interested in playing a DC Comics squad-based strategy RPG F2P mobile video game, Booster boosters, this week sure looks like the opportunity you've been waiting for.

Good luck, have fun, and play responsibly!

I've showcased custom Booster Gold Minecraft skins before. (Several times, actually.) But after recently watching the A Minecraft Movie, I got to wondering if anyone out there was still making them.

I'm happy to report that the answer is yes.

These are just the "Booster Gold" skins I found from one of my old bookmarks to The Skindex at minecraftskins.com:

Cross-tagged Blue Beetle? I'll allow it.

Those are all certainly Boosterrific, but what really impressed me was found on a rival site, planetminecraft.com:

Who needs a computer when they can have their own square Skeets?

Booster Gold is a character in the Teen Titans GO Figure! mobile video game. How do I know? (I mean, other than from the 2018 press release, obviously, because who doesn't read press releases?)

Answer: Because of Internet videos like this (cued to start at 2:48).

Also: this Reddit post.

Now we're all experts in what the kids are doing were doing six years ago. You're welcome.

The algorithms that run the Internet have decided that I'm the target audience for the Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League video game. Despite it being a game built on DC Comic book super heroes, they are wrong.

I didn't care for Injustice or DCeased or DC Vs. Vampires, so It probably won't surprise you that I am not interested in playing as a villain and assassinating the heroes of the DC Universe. But GameRant.com has proven that it isn't entirely without value.

Booster Gold International has been out of business since Millennium in 1988, so I guess the events of Kill the Justice League must take place on an alternate Earth, perhaps one where Millennium never happened (or one where the Manhunters won?).

That's still not enough to make me want to roleplay as an unrepentantly psychopathic murderer with a bomb in my head, but I can't say that Kill the Justice League has nothing going for it anymore.

Longtime Booster booster Morgenstern writes in to alert me that the DC Comics-themed digital trading card game (TCG) DC Dual Force from Cryptozoic Entertainment has finally been released, and that the game has a Booster Gold card — and also a Skeets card!

About all I know about the game is what I've read on DCDualForce.com, where you can find a database of cards. The reviews on SteamPowered.com aren't great, but it is a new game, and there are always bugs in new games. Maybe after a few updates, it will be a must-play, and gamers everywhere will have a Booster Gold in their digital hand.

In the meantime, it's kind of a fun game just to identify the source material from which the cards took their images. (In these cases, the covers of Booster Gold #32 and 52 Week Two, respectively.)

Thanks, Morgenstern.
