Crap. It's already been half a year? I haven't done a damn thing so far. I hope I can turn things around before 2015.
I spent an inordinate amount of time on GAF even though the topics were less than stellar. There used to be an old meme called "Weekend GAF." The quality of discussion takes a nosedive on weekends because there's nothing to talk about with the news cycle on break. Posters take it upon themselves to regurgitate tired old topics. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people call Drake a murdering psychopath. Same retread and no new insight. Talk about beating a dead horse.
I filled in today's gaps with Chris Smoove's Watch Dog videos. Since I've watched the same missions being played three times already, I'm familiar with the content, but I'm impressed by his approach. It also demonstrates the flexibility of the mission design. That it allows for multiple approaches is cool. His playthrough is definitely the "smoothest" one I've seen so far.
Mario Kart 8 just came out and there's a lot of chatter about it. I don't care. I've never been a fan. I've never had memories of local MP steeped in nostalgia. Maybe if I had a more close knit group of friends, I'd change my tune, but my last experience with MK for the Wii was dismal, to say the least. It's one of those series that has zero pull for me.
I saw the latest episode of Game of Thrones and HOLY FU--(string of expletives)--IT!
I revisited a manga about a kid who can travel back in time and has to do it to save a girl he once knew and solve a murder in the present. I don't remember when I read it, but I was disappointed to see it advance so little with a couple chapters. It feels like ages since I read it.
Going with the time travel theme, I checked out another manga where the main character has to stay a virgin or he'll get killed by his friend in the future/present. He got killed and is sent back in time. But it's completely understandable why his friend would want to kill him. He's a smooth operator. A one-stop shop for ladies. When he gets close to girls, he is besieged by visions of death, not unlike Sora's violent reactions in Love Sick. Every once in a while, I come across resemblances like these and I'm reminded that my concept is in no way shape or form completely unique from all else.
But there's only 15 chapters so far and the last update was in March. Damn it! I'll let it rot in the meantime until a miracle comeback several months down the line.
