Finished a Couple...

So I watched the end of two shows that I enjoyed. One was a carry over from a previous season and the other was a 13 episode show that began this season.

-Fate/Stay Night (Unlimited Bladeworks)
I've seen the other versions. This was a retelling following the unlimited bladeworks storyline. I have to say that I rather enjoyed this. You always had the notion from the other series that Rin and Emiya were going to end up together but I don't recall them actually doing it. Seeing it here was a welcomed addition to their characters. Not sure yet if this is my favorite iteration of the series but well worth a watch for anyone who likes the Fate/Stay series.

-Plastic Memories
This show took me by surprise. Very simple and not over the top. Bittersweet love story between a cyborg/android (I'm not really sure what to call them) and a young man just starting out at a new job. Decent animation and just enough character depth to care about what happens to them along the way. I'd recommend taking a peek at this if you have a chance hopefully you'll enjoy it as I did.

A New Addiction

So has anyone else played this game Brave Frontier? It's not a new game but holy hell is it addicting. I just started about a week ago and I think I've played almost 25 hours or so.

It's a summoner game where you summon units to fight for you. They can be upgraded and augmented and you can use other units to "fuse" and increase their level, eventually evolving to the next star level. 7 star being the highest.

I'm not that far along but I think I'm doing well. I'll post a picture of the squad I'm running with.

Anyway... If you haven't tried this game and you're looking for the next killer app then give it a go. There's just enough new to go with the retro feel to balance it out.

Reading Binge...

So I get into these moods sometimes and all I do is just read, read, read. Not really a bad thing but I find myself reading new stuff when I haven't even finished the old stuff yet. So I'm going to do my best to finish up my chapters before looking for new and exciting manga to read.

Nisekoi - 9 Chapters to be current
Keijo!!!! - 1 Chapter to be current
Baby Steps - 1 Chapter to be current
Nozomi x Kimio - 2 Chapters to be current
Shokugeki no Soma - 7 Chapters to be current
Nanatsu no Taizai - 20+ Chapters to be current
Kekkon Yubiwa Monogatari - 1 Chapter to be current

Thats really just to name a few... there are actually just under 200 titles in my Queue on mangawatcher.

Is it wrong?

Watching this anime...

Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?

Pretty awesome. The manga is good too.

Back in Action

Guess I'll start this back up but in a more mobile manner. Posts will probably come from my phone and be shorter.

Easter is here...

Before I start off... I'm not a religious man. Its literally a day for kids to get candy now. Fun as it is now its just a reason for the kids to get all hopped up on sugar and then unleash them on the in-laws. So... Happy Easter for those who celebrate it. For the rest of us... Enjoy the day off.

Vacation in progress...

Alright then... some quick updates...

Forza Horizon 2 - Love this game. Wish it came out instead of Forza 5. So much more fun and has such a good flow about it. I think I'm 4 or 5 championships away from being in the Horizon Finale is its being called and I have fallen in love with this open world driving game.

Dragonball Xenoverse - Did not play it during my vacation... Not that its bad but WoW and Forza have been occupying all my free game time.

Hardline - Did get some more time with this playing with my buds. Game is getting better but they have to fix the flaws... the spawn system is HORRID! Its like its completely random but makes sure you're in an enemy line of sight before it spawns you and vice versa. I've been in a couple games where I was camping a spot and in my view it spawns like 3 guys in a row. I mow them all down and wait for more but it just felt wrong. They didn't have a chance.

World of Warcraft - I am trying desperately to get to 100 before this week finishes so I can at least say I've got there but I may not have the time. Granted I've got 2 days to go but I can't just sit in front of the computer all day or at least I'm trying not to.

In other news....

JEREMY CLARKSON IS SACKED!
Apparently they will not be renewing his contract and Top Gear for this season is I guess finished. What that means for Richard and James I dunno but it sure wont be the same without them. I can't watch the US version... I just can't. I tried... Tanner is cool and Rutledge is at least funny but that other guy who looks like a shorter Tony Danza is just annoying.

Anime Updates for me...

Your Lie in April - Finished this in both print form and in show form. I'll be honest. I nearly cried at the end, which doesn't really happen with anime. I won't spoil it for those who may read this... not that there's that many but this is probably my favorite show this season.

Cross Ange - This show is about to end. One more to go and it'll all be over. Have to say that I liked it more than I thought I would... The plot got more complicated over time and its got shounen written all over it with how the main enemy is nearly invincible.

Vacation! Well... Sort of

So my work place moved locations in the city and it was our job to move EVERYTHING! This sucked a lot and we worked ridiculous hours last week... 60 for me which is at least 15 above the norm. It royally screwed with my body's normal rhythm and threw me all out of what. But there was a silver lining....

My Vacation! I had it marked off and the day finally came... Hopefully I got all of what I requested which would put me back at work on the 30th of March. Granted its not a REAL vacation but more of a "staycation" but who's going to complain when you get off like 10 days in a row. I don't have any serious plans during this time but hopefully I can catch up on some gaming while the little one is at school and maybe even have the wife get in on the action.

I truly have way too many games to play...

Just came out...

My friend is like lvl 80 already... Fuuuuuck! I'm behind.

Fricking gamefly dropped this at my doorstep... I need more hours in the day!

I didn't even mention GTAV because its just a staple especially with the Heists that are now available... and who could forget MINECRAFT! I tell you... I don't have enough hours in the day to play all these... Plus there's another snag....

I...

I kind of...

I, well, kind of started... Playing... 

/turns away in shame

I told myself no more... and I don't know how I got pulled back in but it happened. There's no turning back now... I'm just in again. Not that I'm running raids and whatnot or plan to lose 40+ hours of my life each week to it but I'm playing again. Feels really weird. I originally was just going to be letting my wife use my account so she could play with our daughter because she got it for christmas but we ended up reactivating mine and my wife's account and we're now all playing again... /sigh

More on Top Gear...

So it seems that Jeremy has gone and gotten himself suspended by the BBC. So sadly there will be no episode this week... the fans get screwed. Reports are kind of all over the place...

As Jeremy himself would put it...

Some say... That he got into a physical altercation with one of the producers or that he'd been warned about racial remarks... 

Regardless of what actually happened... They can't just cancel the show. It is literally one of their largest cash cows and watched by some over 350 million people world wide. This would just suck as a place to live without Top Gear to look forward to...

Top Gear

We're BACK!!!

Usually what Jeremy says when the season opens... however they are most of the way through the season now and I am gonna be sad to see it end. I think I'm always sad to see it end because, aside from games and anime, cars are one of the things I love the most.

This weeks episode involved a new and old jag... Richard test driving the new MX-5 Miata and of course Captain Slow racing in Rally Cross.
