Ordered vol. 12 of the Evangelion manga and the first volume of Drops of God, a manga all about wine which was recommended on the Anime World Order podcast. First anime/manga purchases I've made in a long, long time!

I've never played and re-played a game as often as a dozen times. In fact, I rarely ever re-play games (why bother, when there are so many great new games to play?). The game I've played the most though, was Final Fantasy XII ... put about 140 hours into it!

Very well said! I think it's fair to say that most games have a plot, but lack a story. They don't really have anything to say, and are only there to string together a game. The big problem with videogame story-telling though, is that it is so derivative. That's why videogame-based movies are...

The game was great, so this anime should be similiarly fantastic. I hope they use the same voice actors for the dub as they used in the game.

I recently completed Tomb Raider: Legend (on PS2). Enjoyed it, but the motorcycle chases were dull and the pacing of the story was much too fast. Very short, too. Altogether a rather insubstantial game, but the graphics were nice and it was fun. I've just started playing Shin Megami Tensei...

Nintendo are overreaching with their gimmicky consoles. The novelty has worn off. The DS was pretty cool, but the 3DS is just pointless. The Wii U won't be well received either.

Yeah, just got to that part earlier today. Such a ridculous thing to do. You basically have to work out the mystery with virtually no clues whatsoever, or else you miss out on the rest of the game. Basically requires a guide. Bad design. Love the game, but that stunt is unnecessary. I mean, how...

Still playing Persona 4 ... almost 70 hours in, looks like it should be finishing up pretty soon though. I am enjoying the game, but it honestly feels as thought it's dragging a bit. The story has become more interesting though, and the battle system is really great. The social sim aspect is...

Loved that Sahara joke! Dark City - Film noir, sci fi ... brilliantly executed and extraordinarily well cast. Really enjoyed it. 9/10 Perfect Blue - Great movie, what else is to be expected from Satoshi Kon? Hard to follow at times (most times, really), but this adds to its rewatchability...

I watched Perfect Blue last night. Really enjoyed it, although it was hard to follow a lot of the time (that was probably the intention of Satoshi Kon). It's very obviously the influence for Black Swan, regardless of Aronofsky's protestations to the contrary.

Double post, but whatevs. Source Code - Clever techno thriller, Gyllenhaal is fantastic as always. 8/10.

Started watching Weeds yesterday and I'm very impressed so far (6 episodes in). It's funny, but also a serious drama. Mary-Louise Parker is just great, also.

Facebook was more user-friendly than MySpace, which is why it became so popular, I guess. I'm not overly impressed with Google+ so far ... although it's hard to tell how good a social networking site is when there's no social network. Most of my friends haven't made Google+ accounts ...

Yeah, Catholics are pretty zany alright. The Assumption of Mary was theologically postulated for a while though, the Pope just made it doctrinal. It's still silliness, just ... complicated silliness. But anyway, The Onion is satire. This isn't actual news :P
