ThunderCats 2012

What an awful show. It's very pretty, but almost every episode feels like filler or involves flashback. Sometimes I'd rather the story being told in flashback be what the series is actually about. Even the "action-heavy" episodes are boring.

It's very upsetting.

I'll finish out this season, because it has to get better, right? Probably not.

Wheel of Time Book 13

I finished Book 13 of Wheel of Time earlier this morning. I thought Sanderson did a good job on intertwining the stories of the main players. By doing that well, he gave the story a much more urgent feel. Which is good because Books 8-10 were painfully slow. I appreciated the idea of the three ta'veren seeing brief visions on what one another was doing. It helped the reader determine at what point the current character's story was taking place in relation to the others.

Also, much less braid tugging, but too much phaw.

Jet Set Radio

I saw that Jet Set Radio is going to be released for the PS Vita. I loved the hell out of that game on the Dreamcast. Fun to play and it had one of my favorite soundtracks. Can't wait!!!

Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker Mini-Review

I saw Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker at a screening yesterday. The best I can say about the film was that it was not as terrible as I thought it would be and it was more fun seeing it with an audience than it would have been seeing it alone.

It's a boring at some point and outlandish at others. But, you know that you're not getting a masterpiece. It's not about plot, or character development; it's about over-the-top battles where the lead character is violent to the point of absurdity.

The film will be out on Blu-ray and DVD on May 29, 2012. Check out their website for more information.
