  1. We've had a couple "oh no do we have covid!?" scares now and, yeah, that shit is so tiring and stressful At least your test came back negative. Get well soon!

    Winter Anime 2021

    Project Scard -- this show is a tough watch for me. I don't find the story or characters very compelling and I'm not in love with the art style. Might just drop it. Back Arrow -- still enjoying it. There's some good humour, a fun cast of characters going off on an adventure, and the Briheights are an interesting idea. It's not AOTS material but I'm enjoying it quite a bit anyway. Horimiya -- a little bit too much teenage awkwardness in episode 3 I think

    2021 NHL Season

    I don't know anything about the guy the Jets got back but I guess he wanted out of Columbus just like Laine wanted out of Winnipeg? I wonder if either player will stick around with their new teams beyond this season...

    I was like when the coach transformed Never seen anything quite like that before. But whatever the story is, I'll probably keep watching because this show is so pretty. Colours, character designs, style - it's all really great to me.

    I still don't know what to think about this show. Still very pretty to look at, at least.

    The Jays signed George Springer yesterday! They finally found somebody who would take their money Nice addition to the outfield. Honorable mention to Kirby Yates as well. I hope he will continue to be a reliable guy in the bullpen.

    It took a lot of repetition for me to beat Super C the first time as a kid. Eventually I got to the point where I could pretty much beat it at will, because I had the whole thing memorized. I've played it many many times over the years

    Beat Super C just now. It's been years it feels like since my last play through (which would have been on the 3DS VC, and my old 3DS has been my daughters for a looooong time now, so I guess it has been years ) Still my favourite NES game ever. I will never ever tire of it. I was a tad rusty to start but after a couple game overs it all came back to me. I still know this game inside and out.

    The second episode of SK8 was alright too. It's fun watching these kids nerd out over skateboarding.

    Yep, Horimiya is still good. I really enjoyed this episode.

    Pandemic Baseball 2020

    Forgot to reply to this bit earlier I will never find baseball boring, but I think the game - especially in the later innings - has gotten painfully slow. Sometimes it feels like there is absolutely no flow/rhythm to the game. There are some things that have a big impact on overall game time that will be hard to change, like TV commercial breaks probably aren't going anywhere, but they can do things with the rules to encourage a better flow to the game. The 3 batter minimum rule has helped a bit I think, but what gets me the most is slow pitchers. I hate watching guys that take so much time between pitches. It's truly awful. The worst is when you've got a slow pitcher who has a habit of stepping off the mound, and a guy at the plate who wants to step out of the box after every pitch. MLB still isn't doing enough to cut down on that stuff. I now realize how lucky I was as Blue Jays fan for so many years, they had some really fast workers (Halladay, Dickey, Buehrle). Buehrle especially. He didn't waste time and almost never shook off the catcher. His philosophy was that he wasn't the game caller, the catcher was, so he'd just do his best to execute every pitch that was called. You love to see it.

    I'm enjoying the setting change, don't want them to go back to the farm right away.

    Completed Games (2021)

    The best sale for the Crash trilogy that I can recall on the eShop was 50% off. Regular price is $54.99. 50% isn't a big enough discount you entice me. I'd pay $15 plus tax for this game. It'll happen someday in a publisher's sale.

    Completed Games (2021)

    I was a PSX guy but I can't recall if I ever played Spyro... I definitely never owned it, but I don't remember renting it or playing it at the vault either. (My local Microplay store was located in what used to be a bank branch, so they converted the old vault into a game room with a big screen and all of the consoles available at the time, so you could rent the room + games with your friends for an hour at a time and play games in there -- it was a blast) I've had the Crash trilogy on my wishlist forever now, but the price still hasn't gone low enough for me to pull the trigger on it for a nostalgia trip. Unlike Spyro, I did own and love Crash, so it would be fun to play again for the right price. Maybe I'll throw that Spyro collection on the ol' wishlist too...
