Especially because they used that same twist in the first game as well.
Agreed, that difficulty spike was punishing. I remember getting stuck in the court yard with the fountain because I kept going left for the grenade launcher. Turns out, the sniper makes quick work of those bad guys. Even on Brutal the second time,…

Played and finished Wonderboy: The Dragon's Trap last weekend, or actually one night. It's a pleasantly short game, with lots of hidden areas and treasure. Exploring really was the fun part with fighting enemies in a distant second place. Bosses' patterns weren't all too difficult and I defeated most of them on my…

Their recent Ratchet & Clank reboot was great so in my eyes, they're still doing fine. People seem to be hyped for the Spider-Man game as well. Despite being a comic book fan myself, the trailers don't really do it for me but if it's good, all the better.

Finished Master of None S2 yesterday as well as Castlevania on Netflix.
Master of None is one of the best shows in ages for me. The issues and plots feel realistically written (not the actual events perse) written and I love the optimistic and positive vibe of the show. That's why the final 2 eps were my least…

I've been slacking off going to the gym for months which was starting to bum me out. I've noticed I can only uphold a 2/3 times per week exercise rhythm if my work life is fairly structured. Having events and out of town trips, breaks my self-discipline and makes me feel not guilty about doing nothing way too quickly.

I typed the exact same thing and then I saw your post.
That's probably one of the few nostalgia-soaked series from my youth. I'd go over to a friend's house and his whole family would sit around playing the game, taking turns.

No, the manga by Miura. Beautiful yet severely messed-up art (inspired heavily by the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and Bruegel) and an epic, emotionally heart-wrenching story.
Definite recommendation if that seems like your thing.

The gorey scenes of batmen attacking commoners reminded me of Berserk a lot. Thank god they didn't go for the demon rape as well.

Beth Sterling was MVP. Her delivery and dead-pan glances or little smiles are perfect.
The weakest one for me was Fortune Feimster. She starts of strong but she goes for the obvious jokes too much. The other ones were fine.

I don't live in America. My regular online store starts shipping it on 11th.

I've been keeping an eye on the Motro trade after an issue was reviewed here and Prophet was name-dropped. I'll buy it as soon as it comes out in 4 days. That font for the title deserves a shout-out as well, very memorable.

Without a doubt, Jommeke. He's the ultimate goody-two-shoes that goes on globetrotting adventures but always returns home safely at the end of the day. It was safe but the vibrant colours and kid-cast made it very relatable and fun.

A friend of mine is a big fan of those Injustice comics and he doesn't even play the game. Always wanted to jump in to them as well. They're perfect to buy digital.

Played and finished Infamous: First Light this week. Just like Second Son, it's a beautiful game with fun powers to play around with. The main story is very brief but better than Second Son with its troubled protagonist and higher stakes (although one could argue against that). They added replayability in the form of…

Sounds like a proper weird premise. I'm intrigued!

Damnit, I've been waiting for the new trade for months and lost track of it. Looked it up, it's been out for a month. Ordering it as we speak.

The way Simone writes Bane is immensely funny and I've grown to like Deadshot as a character throughout. Ragdoll and Savage and all of them really have their moments that creep me out or make me laugh.
Bit of a random add-on but the reason I wanted to read this run is because I saw that page of King Shark running and…

Is One More Year from Hanselmann better or about the same as the Amsterdam book? I really liked it because it was more Meg, Mogg and Owl but it didn't hit me as much as their first collection. Maybe it was the lack of surprise? Still, great stories. They pull you in with dirty jokes and werewolf dicks and they keep…

Nice explanation. If you want to expand it even further, there's only so many stories. It's how you fill them in that matters.
Still, I love Lazarus enough to give this one a try.

Secret Six Vol.3: Cat's Cradle:
When this series clicks, it really is something. Lots of good banter and funny lines. I've never read anything by Ostrander but after reading his Deadshot-issue, I feel I need to change that. The art in that on was particularly strong in a compositional way. Aesthetically, none of the…
