In regard to my last post, yeah, I wrote that ages ago and then left it sitting in drafts for a few weeks. I didn’t make any changes to it before posting it just before so it’s probably best to view it as a message from the recent past despite things moving on since then.

What exactly has happened since? Let’s see…dentist visits went well. Eating is much more pleasant now. The anesthesia sort of…didn’t work…on the second visit but the pain wasn’t unbearable and I’m very glad I didn’t put it off. Despite how much time has passed I’m still not entirely well and still have a cough. Yay.

I found I couldn’t wait for Dragon Age Origins to come out on the PS3 as friends were buying it left, right and center and I knew I wouldn’t be able to avoid spoilers. I picked it up on the PC instead which to my surprise turned out to be a really good idea. Essentially the PC version is outright better than the console releases, and on top of that it has none of the annoying DRM or online checks that have been plaguing PC games in recent years. It’s a really good game, but in a few regards I feel there’s wasted potential in there. With some small enhancements I think it could have been more immersive. I have actually finished the game already, but plan to go through it at least one more time since there were quite a few things I missed or didn’t do to my satisfaction. Assassins Creed 2 coming out tomorrow will probably eliminate any such thoughts for the time being though.

My next batch of anime Blu-rays should be shipping in a few days. “Bakemonogatari” and “Umineko no Naku Koro ni” aren’t really coming out fast enough for my tastes as I really want to see what extras show up on the later discs. Bakemonogatari has some episodes only released via webcast so I’m hoping these end up in full quality on the Blu-rays when the time comes. The last disc of Tayutama will be in this lot and I’m starting to think about what I might want to pick up from this season. White Album series 2 is a given considering I not only like it a lot but also have the entire first season on Blu-ray. Outside of that though I’m not sure. 11eyes is a maybe. Kampfer, Sora no Otoshimono, A Certain Scientific Railgun and Seitokai no Ichizon have all been okay, but don’t grab me in that way. Kobato has been disappointing. Ironically the second season of Queen’s Blade and the unfairly written-off Yumeiro Patissiere have been some of the better shows, but worth picking up on Blu-ray? Hmmmmm. I guess a few months of smaller purchases would go down well given I’ve been importing a few discs a month all through the recession.  ^_^;

There’s a few more things I could talk about, but I think it’s probably enough for one day. Might as well leave some things for another day.
