Passing Sentences: April 28

It's One Month Later... and everything has changed.

Well... maybe not. :)

Obviously, this week's highlight was the triumphant return of Heroes, with an episode that was very much worth the wait (that said, it's good to know there won't be any more interruptions this season). .07% delivers a bit of everything: some misdirection, some revelation, ( Read more... )

I picked up IV Advance a few months ago, but schoolwork picked up right about the raft ride and I haven't gotten back to it since. I also abandoned FF 12 for the PS2, which i was enjoying despite the somewhat annoying gambit system and it's too obvious plot similarities to the original Star Wars trilogy ( ... )

PS- By the way, I'm totally with you on Hiro. In fact you're the only person I've read so far that isn't in love with his spastic screaming.

Well... to be fair, I did think Hiro was cute at first - he's basically a stereotypical comic book geek (and as such, the only character who could really cope with and appreciate the onset of superpowers), but for once there's no inherent criticism or ridicule in the depiction, the way you can find such things in the Simpsons' Comic Book Guy. Nobody ever makes fun of Hiro; nobody sees any reason to do so. Even Nathan's more amused by the content of Hiro's message than by the way he presents it ( ... )

I never got past the first few battles of FF12 myself; the gameplay system passeth all understanding. :(

That'd be the Whedon Curse in effect; as far as I know, no cast member from "Buffy", "Angel" or "Firefly" has managed to maintain the spotlight for very long since their respective series ended.

I actually like the idea that Linderman's funding Primatech; it explains how he's managed to insinuate himself into so many characters' lives without really making an effort. And he certainly has the motive to track other Heroes, if the story he told Nathan is true.
