Thanks to Diego for giving me a place to write about one of my big cultural blind spots I finally fixed: Mad Men. A show about progress and regression.

I genuinely love that there’s going to be another season of Hijack where after being on a hijacked plane, Idris Elba finds himself of another hijacked vehicle. This is some Speed shit.

Rewatching Lord of the Rings and my favorite thing about it is just how much Gandalf prefers Merry over Pippin.
“This is Merry. He is smart and brave. And this is Pippin. He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever.”

Find myself once again being drawn to the siren calls from the "Octopath 0 is my GOTY" crowd. The same crowd that convinced me to get Octopath 2 and I still haven't played it.

“And you have my fucking axe!”
The Lord of The Rings movies were rated PG-13. By current rules that means that each film could contain one use of the word "Fuck". Which line are you altering to insert the most useful swear word?
"I can't carry it for you, but I can Fucking carry you"
"I can't carry it for you, but I can Fucking carry you"

As I get towards the end of Metroid Prime Fusion, I think what's evident is Metroid can become a sort of blockbuster shooter in the Halo mold, which to me says the Metroid IP is way more flexible than people give it credit for. But what it can't do is be both Metroid and Halo at the same time.

My condolences. I met Vince once briefly and he was a very nice man. This is tragic.

Maddy and Momo continue to go through it, and vet bills are, frankly, vicious. Please spread the word and help however you can.
I love them and just want them to be okay.

Akane Banashi is single-handedly the reason I'm subbed to the Shonen Jump app. Check it out if you haven't already, great manga about the pursuit of art, with a great cast of characters.
