- I finally had a chance to watch the animated reconstruction of "Shada" and I have to say that the animated bits were better than I was expecting. I think the animators had more time and money this time around (as opposed to the very little time and money they got for "The Power of the Daleks" animated reconstruction). Is reconstruction the right ( Read more... )

- Nothing like starting off the new year being sick. I had a cold during the first week of January and a stomach bug during the second. I swear this weekend was the first weekend where I felt like a normal human being ( Read more... )

- Hmm, I haven't posted in a while. I had been knitting like a fiend to finish a commission for a friend, so that's probably why. Of course, I have no news or anything interesting to post about...

- Orphan Black had its series finale last Saturday. I was a little sad to see it go, but I doubt they could have sustained the clone conspiracy ( Read more... )

I can typically finish a game in a month, shorter if I'm really addicted, but I don't know what it was this time around. It's not that I found Mass Effect: Andromeda to be boring. I guess there was just so much to do and rather than play in short bursts, I wanted to do longer sessions. It's a shame that the game didn't do as well as other Mass ( Read more... )

I finally started playing Mass Effect: Andromeda yesterday. I can already foresee that I won't be getting much else done. I had forgotten how much of a time-sink these games can be ( Read more... )

- A friend on Facebook posted a link to this: https://www.omaze.com/experiences/Dr_whoA chance to have breakfast with 7 Doctors! In London ( Read more... )

- Saw The Force Awakens again last night. I can see why people keep going to see it. You pick up new things each time. The friend I went with also had an interesting theory about a certain character. I don't know if he's the only one who has thought of this, but even if other fans have had this idea, it's still a neat one:

Finally finished Dragon Age: Inquisition last night. So that took me what? A month? A month and a week I think. According to my save files, I sunk 82 hours into the game. New record for me I think. This was me compulsively playing from start to finish, with no weeks off, so this is definitely the longest it's taken me to finish a game.

- I received my five year recognition award at work today. I had completely forgotten that I had reached five years with the company. Okay, technically, I've been with the company for six years, but I was a temp back in 2008 and I didn't officially become salary until 2009. For everyone's five year award they get a watch and it's not a bad watch. ( Read more... )

- Happy 51st Whoniversary! if I had a copy of "The Day of the Doctor" handy, I'd be watching it right now.

- Next year it's New Who's 10th anniversary. Kind of hard to believe it's been ten year since the show came back. I think Moffat has said he doesn't have anything planned, but it'd be cool if they had a little something. Have the Autons back ( Read more... )
