For limited/standalone runs: Planetary, Kingdom Come, Batman: The Long Halloween and its sequel Batman: Dark Victory, All-Star: Superman, Superman: American Alien, the Omega Men, and Lex Luthor: Man of Steel.

Doom Patrol is great. Titans is fine. I haven’t watched but the new Young Justice cartoons are supposed to be great too. That’s all there now, so for $7 you could watch those in a month. Otherwise you can wait until early August when Swamp Thing finishes and watch all the episodes then. 

I don’t think it’s worth signing up for the year unless 1) You know that you’re going to watch all of their shows, good or bad, or 2) You want access to their entire digital library. Even if you’ve read all the hits (Dark Knight Returns, Superman: Red Son, etc.) I think it’s worth just picking a series and starting

It’s a genetic condition, she’s in fact the biological daughter of Swamp Thing and Daddy Mac from 90s kid rap duo Kriss Kross.

It’s excellent, except why does she have back-pockets on the front of her trousers?

Titans is dumb but fun. Doom Patrol is spectacular and Swamp Thing is off to a good start. Add to that the comics backlog and the animated shows and movie catalogue that it has available, and I'd say so.

who’s up for drinking beers and watching some human bodies receive absolutely disgusting punishment?

I’m okay with roguelites (is that the word?). Loved spelunky, super into Dead Cells, I enjoyed romps such as The Swindle... but it just seems that EVERYTHING now is a roguelike, and I’m a bit tired. Then again, Void Bastards just looks amazing.

The only thing that’s keeping me from buying it this instant is the word ROGUELIKE (also, that I’m at work)

I finished Spider-Man! I was finally able to push down my collect-a-thon tendencies, ignore the criminals and soldiers constantly shooting at me, and just bear down on the end boss. It was fine, and fun. I don’t know that I really need to play it again - lots of other fish in the sea. 

It helps that there’s a pretty active Pokemon Go community and Discord down here in Richmond, VA and it was a convenient way for the wife and I to meet new people back when we moved down here 18 months back, and didn’t know anyone. She’s much more into it than I am, but I tend to tag along when she does raid trains

Between Memorial Day, family birthdays, and the always thrilling adventures of Why The Hell Won’t The Pilot Light Come On, it’s been a relatively limited gaming week for me.

Salutations~!

In lieu of spending the precious few hours I’ve had for games this week on Sekiro, I decided to finally take the plunge on Chapter 1 of Deltarune. I’ve held off on this for quite a while; Undertale was so unique and well-conceived I didn’t really feel like it needed a sequel, even a “spiritual sequel.” My fears were,

Devolver Digital are having a sale on Switch right now, but I am committed to not buying absolutely anything else ‘til I finished what’s on my backlog.

It’s been a while since I caught one of these, but that was in no small part because I’d been on a long gaming drought. I was slowly, slowly putting 75 hours into a Yakuza 0 playthrough. Every hour was time well spent, but I played in mostly in one to 1.5 hour chunks, a bit in the morning and a bit in the evening.

So I finished Half Life 2: Episode 2.

I would’ve gone with Moby: Dick.

I am late on this, but Uncharted 2 is actually my fav of the bunch. I can see why 4 is “better” in some ways, but the alchemy of characterization and story in Uncharted 2 is just gold, and it holds up after years.

Wow, can’t believe someone is still getting wow’d by that game. Back when it came out, it looked so amazing. It didn’t feel that long ago too, but when I see it now, I can see it’s actually much older than I realize.
