Been Awhile...
Taking a day off from my usual 13+ hour work day (which admittedly includes the commute) to write up a little something.
Not much, since my day off was largely made necessary by a migraine. So instead of a long rambling article about something I'm going to throw out random thoughts which are probably a lot more akin to what most blogs actually have in them.
1) Marvel's Civil War, taken as a whole, sucked.
2) 300 was a good movie. Not great, but fun, and visually impressive.
3) Good anime seems to have come around again in the form of Fate/Stay Night, Chevalier D'Eon, Coyote Ragtime, and Ergo Proxy.
4) The Dresden Files books and TV show are pretty cool. In some ways I like the latter better, in others the former.
5) God of War II and Company of Heroes are great video games.
6) Tamara Siler Jones' Dubric the Castellan series is one of the best fantasy series I've stumbled upon. All of them are availiable in paperback and all of them are more than worth the time and money. Ghosts in the Snow is the first book if I recall correctly.
7) I certainly hope White Wolf's new game Scion is as good as it looks. I could use a new rpg and I think WW could use a new hit.
8) Justice League Unlimited's final season just hit DVD. What a great show. Also Ben 10's first season has hit DVD. Also a great show.
9) Mid season new TV has been a mixed bag. BBC's Robin Hood has potential but it's a bit of a slow start (that said, I was warned about that), the aforementioned Dresden Files is fun, and the Tudors is very well done and I'm liking it more than I thought I would.
10) Did I mentioned Civil War sucked?
