Avengers: Endgame: I went to the theater to see it today. It was worth it, and well paced, as it didn't feel rushed. I'm not going to say much more, since I don't want to reveal any spoilers.

Final Empire: ....I'm gonna be upset if Vin starts Lightweaving and getting lost in her personas. I'm also going to be upset if this Ellend guy pulls a Cabsol on us.

It's pretty much a fool's errand to catch up on any fed at the rate I watch, but eh, I enjoy trying anyway! I think I'll just stay the course and hope that some of the "700 hours" figure is, like, the podcast or something.

CHIKARA Tag Prix 2005: Weird promo from Andrews and Hagodorn, who are facing Ring Crew Express. Dodgeball breaks out? Continuity with the promo! RCE win. (**1/2) Crossbones&Mano Metallico v. Knight Eye for the Pirate Guy. TIME TRAVEL YOU SAY? Lance Steel has level 40 armor! I appreciate that we have everybody's favorite superhero in their bios- I hope we do more trivia on future shows! We start off with some kinda sluggish chain wrestling, but the character work covers a multitude of sins. Characters! In wrestling! And you can tell them apart! Imagine! ...Somebody actually sat down with me at lunch for like the third time ever at this job, so I didn't finish the match (but I did have a surprisingly nice chat about anime cons!)

Ys: I decided I was going to give up if I couldn't beat the bat man today.....AND I FINALLY DID. That would've been a fun boss fight if they had just been a tiny bit more generous with your ability to hit him. Never did figure out why so many of my "good" hits just went right through him, and plenty I just didn't get to him in time. Book of Ys GET...now what.

Persona: ...man how long are they gonna drag out this ending sequence? Story has been cool (didn't see the twist coming!) but how many no-buildup minibosses do we really need? Got to what they said was the last angle, but he just walled the heck outta me. I think I get how to beat him, but I was out of SP by then so I just shut it down, which I think means I lose at least one of the other ones I beat. one last "man I wish it wasn't a giant pain to save" moment

Oh yeah if you want distinct characters then CHIKARA is definitely the right place. Though again, you may want to skip some of the all roh matches as Punk apparently banned them from having personality when they are starting (literally requires them all to wear plain black gear).

Random Persona thought that does pertain to other stuff: P5 is, like, the synthesis of a lot of the other stuff I've been doing. You've got the heist/theivery/rebellion themes from Mistborn, the cognitive and physical realms from Stormlight and they overlap now!, the evil, sentient Holy Grail from Fate (although not as much in Grand Order), and the general themes of corruption and helplessness from 2019 America!

CHIKARA Tag Prix 2005: Finishing up that first round match from last time. I already knew I liked Bryce, but this match has solidified that- he even sells some of the big hits! This is a solid comedy ma-THEY DID A PEANUTS BIT. Flash pin for the faces! (***) Next up: Big Daddy v. Osaka Pro. Another comedy match maybe? But it also looks like we'll get some solid chain stuff from Billy Ken Kid and Shirley Doe. Oh hey the commentary came back for about five seconds! Instant fan of Darkness Crabtree. Ebessan goes over. (**1/2)

8-bit Theater: BEATED. ...even more anticlimactic than most of the strip, lol. I like the artstyle of the epilogue! White Mage is suddenly cute >_> This was a pretty good time! And now it's time to see what the ongoing ones have been up to in the interim.

Girl Genius: I don't remember what's going on (I'm in last July), but hey it's a bit more info on Higgs! ...we found some stormgates, essentially. ....Allegedly, Violetta got killed offscreen, and I ain't here for that.

Final Empire: Not-that-bold predix: Mare (Mer? Mair? John Mayer?) is not a bad person. Either the betrayal was unintentional, or for some other good (Kel's? Secret baby? The world?). Significantly bolder predix: Vin is her biological kid, and maybe Kel's. I would be more confident in this if the timing wasn't kinda wonky.

Aria 2-1- That Encounter at the Carnevale...: It's Carnevale time again, and that means time to follow up on the Casanova/Cait Sith angle, this time with Ai in tow. I forgot there was some sorta memory shenanigans involved, which made Akari's reactions kinda confusing. We get to join the parade! And the sidekicks are extra cute. This is not far at all off the original episode but it was a good one so no complaints here. I miss the old OP and ED but the new ones are suitable replacements. We appear to be in for more of the same, this season! I'm okay with it.

Final Empire: I want Vin and Ellend to be a (positive) thing, and I suspect it will, but Sazin misjudging somebody that badly seems kinda out of character somehow. Oh hey, it's Hoyd! ....Wonder what the odds are of a Kel/Lord Ruler double turn.

Les Mis: Man Fantine's arc still just hits me.

Trails: Exterminated the Gull Way monster, swung by Manoria to start an ingredient collection quest, and now we're just wandering around looking for trouble.

MLP 9-3- Uprooted: I kinda wanted them to do more with the dream sequence! a DRAGON QUEST you say. Man some of those memorial ideas were pretty good too I thought :\ Good thing Yona here to help! Yak have best idea. Kinda feel like bringing back the tree and elements already is kinda cheap.

Final Empire: I like the idea of Vin and Spook if this Ellend thing goes south, but I am kinda rooting against it just because it's hell trying to follow his dialect and I don't want him to become a major character. Doubt that's the route we're going, anyway.

LP MGS4 7-2: ...Man, Rose is back too? EVERYBODY IS HERE....except Raiden apparently lol. I feel like all these throwbacks are implying some sort of shenanigans. Then again, what in MGS ISN'T shenanigans?

Girl Genius: Some quality Zeetha and Bang and Axel bits!

CHIKARA Tag Prix 2005-1: Cannon+Claudio v. Littlefeather+Danger should be good right? Those are all names I know. ...It's weird to see Cesaro be the big guy in the match! He hits the giant swing into a dropkick, nice. Heels over. Some slight botches, but some cool spots and overall good wrasslin'. Impressed by all three of the not-Cesaros. (***1/2) Next is Ravage+Rorshach v. Sabian+Jigsaw. Nothing super memorable, but a solid outing nonetheless! Faces win. (**1/2)

Ys: So hey fun fact I apparently missed the Silver Shield. That probably didn't help the Bat Man fiasco! Snagged that and got the books of Ys read, so I am probably good to go now. According to the FAQ I am also missing a Golden Vase, but I am guessing that doesn't matter a ton. Also dunno if I got all the characters up until now but I don't think I care about that either.

Final Empire: Gold got introduced about two minutes after I wondered if it was the 11th metal. (completely forgetting about the 9th) Seems like a big ol' Chekhov's Gun- my guess is we use it to go full Persona 5 and steal the Lord Ruler's heart to revert him back to his pre-tyrant self. THAT made me wonder if maybe he didn't defeat the Deepness at all- it could perhaps have possessed/replicated/absorbed/whatevered him and been pulling the strings this whole time. We never did figure out what exactly Lord Renu's deal was, so that could even be something similar. Also we are going full daes des'mar/game of thrones with the intrigue, and it's fun! I figured we were going to escalate the Ellend/Kel conflict eventually, but Venture being in charge of atium is sure a step in that direction. Lotsa stuff goin' down.

Final Empire: "Condra" will be an easy term to remember because it will remind me of Preston. Jury's out on whether that's going to make them more or less ominous.

Trails: We walked far enough that the NPCs started commenting that we were weird for walking that far, so maybe it's time to do some plot things lol. Helped the old guy at the lighthouse and had a good cry at the orphanage. This game is doin' me a sad :\

Les Mis: Valjean is gonna do the thing :\

BTE 39-41: Man no wonder I can't keep the families straight they both have a daughter and a son at similar ages and cuteness levels. I am amused that Kenny doesn't go easy on kids. We're starting to see skits and stuff! Also Cole's SCSA impression was amusing.

Final Empire: well that ball went...south and then north? very quickly

CHIKARA Tag Prix: Din Mak+Bomboy vs. Jacobs+Daniels. This whole time I thought IWA and IWA:MS were allied! Both have sent parejas incredibles I guess. IWAMS wins via implosion. (**1/2) B-Boy was on my old EWR game, cool! He and Super Dragon! (honk) rep PWG against a series of people out of a hat who aren't here or able to fight. I was hyped for Bob Saget- how weird would it be if he just showed up in CHIKARA as a mystery!! Wonder (wo)Man isn't a very 2019 gimmi- IT'S FREAKIN' MOKUJIN (Ken?) WHAT THE GRIS. Sadly he only got in a bit of offense as his team got rocked. (**) That's the end of round 1 I guess!

Persona 5: BEATED. Once we got past that little mini-dungeon, the final battle was pretty cool! Always feel kinda weird taking the demon side against the light side even when the game still portrays me as a good guy, though. ...I had to use a guide to find Ryuji at the end, lol. All in all....very, very good game. Themes spoke to me, characters were spot on, mechanics were fun (although the puzzles got on my nerves at a few points), and the game OOZED style and atmosphere. Top 5 all time for me depending on how much I feel like having multiple Smash/TEW reps >_> Speaking of Smash, it now "officially" has a slot in the lineup even though I've been letting it have an extra slot this whole time. <_< I haven't been writing it up, but....I guess there's no reason I couldn't note my progress?

Final Empire: rip Spook, but more importantly RIP Marsh....except my mystery genre senses are tingling with this "barely recognizable as human" corpse.

Pokemon: I think we're finally done with the Goldenrod chapter of the Team Rocket shenanigans! Nearly wiped on the boss because A) I was just poking my head in the room to see if it looked like the boss, not expecting it to trigger a cutscene and fight and B) Slowpoke went 0/3 on Confusion after a single Smokescreen. He couldn't handle the Kingler sweep though!

Girl Genius: Caught up! Violetta is back, nice! And the creator guy is back up to speed o_o

Ys: Darm Tower begins! Glancing at the faq, it looks like I've already missed important stuff lol.

y'know I didn't think to look but I want to say it was like 140 hrs (but that includes some periods of leaving it running while I was distracted doing other stuff)

Final Empire: This fight is going much better than exp-oh hey Lord Ruler.

Cucumber Quest: I've been away long enough to forget a lot of what was going on, but not long enough that there's enough catching up for me to figure it out. :\ There is, however, enough update to whet my appetite for the characters and artwork and humor! I hope this is not gonna peter out but last update was 3/1 :(

Aria 2-3- The Night of the Meteor Shower...: There's a meteor shower tonight! We get to talking about gravity, so that summons whatshisface to get a focus episode. Al and Aika seem to be a bit of a thing? I don't remember that coming up in the first season, but it's probably a better match than her and Alicia. Also while looking up character names to make sure I have them all straight, I learned that Akira's last name is Ferrari. Excellent. Winds up with Akari, Al, and Aika going on a walk at night to see the meteors, and plenty of ensuing tsundere. Akari busts out her song from the second Carneval episode again- might even be the same spot. A nice romantic moment while the ladies a couple tables over from me yell about how they don't get along with their families.

Final Empire: Well heck, Kel went full Obi-Wan. Alrighty then! And I am going to stick to my guns that gold or its partner are gonna somehow bring back the good version of the Lord Ruler.

Smash: Focused on Challenges today- got three Century Smash ones in one run (after a few failed attempts) before switching to Adventure to job to The Boss a few times before beating her by a lucky botch. Got Beedle's shop, too!

LP MGS4 8: Lotsa shootin' and some exposition that wasn't as interesting as Drebin rolling a coin on his knuckles. But the new villain group are girls now so there's that I guess.

Paranatural: you can pretty much insert my Cucumber Quest writeup here but Cucumber Quest doesn't have a TJ "Henry" Yoshi reference now does it.

Trails: Kevin's back! Still seems like there's more to him than we know, but I don't think he'd be reading to kids if he was gonna turn heel. Exterminated some snakes on the way back.

CHIKARA Tag Prix 2005: Round 2 kicks off with Cannon/Claudio v. F.I.S.T. Some nice chain wrestling here! A cool SWINGING FULL NELSON. Akuma impressed me here, but heels go over. (***) Ring Crew Express v. Jigsaw+Sabian next, after a kinda weak promo from RCE. I've never considered myself a big mat wrestling fan but CHIKARA is selling me. Weird combo of technical clinic and comedy- I dig it. Jigsaw scores the pin after a really good match! (***1/2)

Final Empire: BEATED. I take an amount of pride that I was, like, half-right on each of the twists lol. Marsh was alive but didn't turn heel, the Lord Ruler was Rashyk but not the Deepness, Kel died but not exactly as I expected, and gold and the 10th metal were vaguely but not directly relevant to the end. It would actually stand alone pretty well but also left some nice hooks for next book. On par with Stormlight I think, I just haven't had as long to get attached to the characters. That'll get fixed soon, I reckon! Next book will probably take a few more days to get to my library but I'm not gonna drive much this weekend anyway.

Order of the Stick: I am starting to realize that not every webcomic updates at the rate of peak Homestuck. I do really like how we resolved the Durkon thing though!

Smash: Got to play with some of my students, and....didn't get rocked like I did back in the day on SSB4! I could take down most of mine, but some other random kids came by and game me trouble.
