  • My Favorite Things of 2012!

    It’s been years since I’ve done one of these. But they’re some of my favorite LiveJournal posts to look back on, so why not resume the tradition?

    2012 was a busy year for me, and most of my leisure time was spent grinding in a panic to complete as much as possible in FFXIV before the servers went down. I missed a lot of things. Many of these I probably won’t get to for another year yet. As such, this is by no means a comprehensive, absolute best of the best list. Don’t jump down my throat because I didn’t list Assassin’s Creed III – I’m sure it was amazing! I bet that one book you keep telling me to read was great too. I just haven’t done it yet. These are some things I did get to, and happened to enjoy an awful lot.

  • Is Buffy’s Transition to Comics Any Good?

    When news first hit that Buffy would officially continue with season eight in comic book form, I, well… hit the roof. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve never been much of a comic book reader. But more Buffy? Real Buffy? Like canon, with the original writers and everything? And this time with no budget constraints? Still my heart! I can’t breathe! I’m even willing to read comic books for this.

    I preordered my issues the moment they became available. A marathon of the seventh season held me over as I counted down the days. But when The Long Way Home arrived, boarded and wrapped, I couldn’t open it. Faced with Jo Chen’s gorgeous cover art of Buffy, confident and indomitable with the words JOSS WHEDON printed above her head, I got cold feet.

    What if it wasn’t that good? Actually, what if it was terrible?
