Happy Batman Day! Got my Batman Day comic this morning at the LCS.
I'm so stoked for this show. Have been dying for something Green Lantern for ages!

Been getting back into comics for the first time since before my son was born nearly 5 years ago. Just finished Y The Last Man - INCREDIBLE journey that I can’t stop thinking about. Now diving into Grant Morrison’s long Batman run.
What a dark day in the gaming industry. ☹️

PlayStation no longer shipping discs starting in '28 and closing the PS3 store next July really sucks. Just another blow to the gaming industry - which is happening a lot recently. Feeling really nostalgic for the PS2 and 360/PS3 days lately. blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/p...
Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles

My favorite thing this past week has to be all the TikToks of World Cup fans visiting NA. The Mexicans and Koreans becoming BFFs, the Scots taking over Boston, the Algerians here in Kansas, the Dutch fans... Amazing to see all these people and cultures mingling and enjoying each other's company.
Have also been playing Shredder’s Revenge with my 4yo son - our first game together. He’s having a blast. Also finished up TLOZ: Link’s Awakening on Switch - definitely has me craving some more Zelda. Now I’ve finally started Alan Wake 2 and wow - so far it’s quite unique, and insanely gorgeous.
Kyle K@swarley133.bsky.social · 4mo agoIt’s been a fun past few weeks for my gaming adventures. Finished up 007 First Light and I have to say - one of my favorite games in YEARS. IOI nailed every aspect of the character. Still had the itch so I played 007 Agent Under Fire on PS2. Going to revisit some of those PS2 007 games this year.

Can’t stop taking pics in Forza Horizon 6! Their creation of Japan is so gorgeous and fun to drive.
The local game shop has been good to me this week. Have been really wanting the LRG physical copy of KOTOR and also the PS4 version of Mutants in Manhattan.

Can’t stop going to the car parks in Tokyo Xtreme Racer to just take pics. I’m loving this game.
Last night was the last straw for having Corsair iCue installed on my PC. Have had numerous issues over the years with things not working right with it, but when it somehow filled up my C drive with over 700gb of whatever, it officially got the boot forever. You will not be missed.
Random gaming thought of the day: I really wish I had bought a 3DS before the prices on them went nuts.
I think this will be the one where I finally dive into the IP and share the experience with my son. Can't wait.

Went back and played through the Rainbow Six: Vegas campaign on Xbox 360 this past week. Man, that game still holds up. Wish we got shooter campaigns like that still - tactical and slow. Crazy how good it still easy even tho the game is 20 years old this year. I miss you, real Rainbow Six games.
This is definitely very bad. I want to vomit at that second sentence in the post.

I know I'm way late to the party, but holy crap #Hitman: World of Assassination is phenomenal. All I can think about every day is alternate runs on maps and setting up my targets and hits. Currently on my second run on the Mumbai map and it's just 🤌.

Game #1 of 2026 is done! Finished up Ghost of Yotei last night. What a fantastic game. Wasn’t sure it would live up to Tsushima, but it does it most ways. Loved the weapon variety. Fantastic revenge story and the music, especially at the end, was phenomenal.
Completed my goal in 2025 to roll credits on 10 games. Ended up with 14 games completed! I think I'll up the goal to 12 for this year and see how it goes. Also interested to see if my acquisition of a Steam Deck changes my year end total much.
This game is looking phenomenal. I loved the Ghost of Tsushima so much, and this one seems to build on those systems quite a lot while offering plenty of fresh things with gameplay and story.

A couple gaming pick ups from last week. As someone who fell in love with the first Death Stranding earlier this year, the sequel is delivering so far. As for MGS3 - couldn’t believe this Japanese premium package showed up in my local shop. Couldn’t pass it up.
We hit 10! A lot sooner than I thought, but still glad I made the goal. Game 10 was Metal Gear Solid. Man, this one still holds up as a goat 27 years later. Need to get back to finishing my top 10 favorite games of all time list, b/c I think this is probably in there.
Kyle K@swarley133.bsky.social · 2y agoGaming resolution for 2025: I want to roll credits on 10 different games this year. Can be new games, old games, games I haven't finished - just need to beat/finish them and roll them credits. Kind of inclined to require 1 of those 10 to be a PS3 game. I'll certainly keep track and post updates.
