Sorry to hear about your hard times. I do know about the soul-sucking job though. I had one when I first got married that slowly became more and more work for less and less money. That led to a horrible downward spiral into debt and eventually we made a drastic move across the country to find me better work. It's been five years and we're just now crawling out of that hole. I hope you're able to find something good some. I'm glad to see you back at least  I know what you mean about wanting a back up blog though. If anything ever happens to mostly-absent site director Nick, all this will go POOF. There's no reason to think that will happen but it could. I've never found another place I like though, and I've been chatting with the folks here for years now.

Ohhhhhhh. Suddenly the title makes a lot more sense (that also kind of explains why the intro is so nutty). I've always wanted to see this series because it is univerally regarded so highly. The only other anime up at that level (it seems to me, at least) is DBZ, Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell, and Akira.

Drama really needs some humor to keep it from being overbearing. Stand Alone Complex was super serious...and then would randomly have these moments of just the goofiest stuff (usually involving the tachikoma). And mixed together those two things are delicious 

Nice job on the budgeting! Save all you can now. Your living expenses will never be lower than when you're single. Once you get married and have kids (if you're into that sort of thing), life get expensive really fast.

I really want to see Ghost in the Shell in the theater but I'm not sure we'll manage to get out there. I said the same thing about Dr. Strange and Rogue One and still haven't seen either.

You definitely should! And I've heard nothing but good things about Tearaway.

Well I do have great tastes 

I was watching on my computer, so it wasn't so bad. Everything ws close together. I definitely have mixed feelings about subtitles on big tvs 

Time travel is just so dang cool. Let me echo Mothman. Radiant Historia is great. You should get the 3DS remake when it comes out. (Great soundtrack too.) I think the third TimeSplitters game is the best though. It's got all the great stuff from TS2 but actually has a coherent and pretty funny story rather than just a loosely-connected series of levels in different time periods. I miss that series.

That's pretty awesome. It's always great to see when an arcade has found a place in modern society. And a Mega Man boss rush arcade game? I've never even heard of that.

Well there is enough on there that I know I want to watch that it will be difficult, realistically, to watch it all. I think I'm set lol.
