My lack of working computer had me not update the obsessions for months, so instead of just posting what I was obsessing over in its proper place, I'm gonna post it right here and then post my current obsessions in the usual spot.
Of course you know, there's no way I wasn't obsessing over stuff for the past 3 or so months.
Moyashimon
Only 11 episodes long, and I'm not done yet. I love this show but I've been staggering my viewing. It's odd, cute, the main character's a sweetie and who would guess that an anime about an agricultural university could be so engaging. I'll miss it when it's done and I'm expecting something tragic because just like you never trust the quiet ones, you never trust seemingly light-hearted anime. Those damned Japanese! I could be wrong though...
Kei and Sawaki
I do enjoy them. And it's true, the buisness of seeing microbes (and they're all smiley, frownie or overly animated beasts) should be even worse but they're just so damned hilarious too. Seriously though, gross...microbes.
Update: I finished it and I loved its rather entertaining oddities and charm; Kei - you're even more awesome than I thought and that's all I will say in case anyone wants to watch this.
Flight of the Conchords
This season is even quirker and more hilarious than the first. The songs have been mostly good and by good, I mean WAY witty and amazing. H1 and I (I even got Bunji hooked) are having lots of fun but are cursing Ticketmaster for their assholery. I'm still going to try to see them in April.
Update: Well I failed to see them and I'm still bitter about it. More reasons to hate Ticketmaster? Sure thing.
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
The longest name I've seen in a while for an anime, a crazy ride that I'm enjoying and it's a mech anime. Gasp! I very rarely watch those but it was Gainax, so I decided I would watch. It's light, fast and insane, with loveable characters and even loveable mechs! The great thing about Gurren Lagann is that it doesn't take itself "too" seriously and the mech's take on the crazed personalities of the characters x10. The music's great (another hit by Iwasaki Taku) and I love Simon the Digger (heehee, lame name).
Leeron
I may love Simon, Viral (yeah, he's awesome), Kittan, Kamina and just about everyone else in that show (even if I need to curse out Rossiu, that ass), but I don't love them like I love Leeron. He. Is. A. Mess. And once again, having Vash The Stampede's voice always helps.
Update: I finished it. It kept up with the fun but I enjoyed the first half better than the second. Still, I can't wait to see the movie and I'm happy now that I have my very own fully-drillized Gurren Lagann to call my own.
Zoku Natsume Yuujinchou
H1 and I are enjoying this season much more than the first. It's scarier, funnier and seems more 'full'. Natsume's adorable, and a deeper look at his relationships, especially with this new family is warming.
Nyanko-Sensei!
Nyanko's even more hilarious this season and H1's loving him. He hasn't really been turning to Madara that much...I think he's really trying to teach that Natsume a lesson or maybe he just wants the Book of Friends faster. heh.
Those were the obsessions for about a month or so, and here are the ones after that up until last week Sunday.
Resident Evil 5
Playing Resident Evil 5 proved one of the most fun gaming experiences I've had. It was welcome quality time spent with Bunji, with lots of zombies, lots of lickers and lots of laughs. It was revealed that I was the better shot, I rocked most of the game using just my little handgun and I refuse to give up my magnum.
Bunji took the lead even though really, the lasers in the temple, Bunji? That was hilarious for me to watch, proving that sometimes it's good for me to not play follower the 'leader'. Bwahahaha.
The game's also not that scary but I understand why it isn't because co-op mode would be boring if it were. Of course, being an RE game, there were moments of panic and terror but all in all, playing late at night with my brother was not as terrifying as it used to be.
Chris Redfield never looked so good before and Sheva was just hot.
Albert Wesker
I posted a blog on this but I still miss this ass.
Nintendo DSi
I bought one after contemplating whether or not I should hold off for a special edition or risk having another Wii incident in which I am assed out. Well, Nintendo made enough of the DSi systems and I'm still waiting for an LE version to get, at which H1 will have an almost brand new DSi for herself. And poor Papa HO will get that a hand me down Red original.
Chrono Trigger DS
Heartache. Always with the effin' heartache.
For some reason it's almost as if I never played this game before even though that's not true, but it felt so much more rewarding this second time around. I was probably still reeling from the fact that Bughie J. made me kill off my favourite Magus when I played many years ago.
This game is by far, one of the best games ever made. That's not surprising to most since it is often heralded as such but it certainly deserves all the praise.
Also, Magus seemed more of an asshole than I remember. He's still my favourite though but did they have to do him dirty by adding that extra 13th ending?
Again with the effin' heartache!
Grand Theft Auto IV: Chinatown Wars DS
Cartman said it best, "I heard someone say they needed to kill a Jew?"
Man replies, "What do you want in return?"
Cartman says, "All I want...is Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars DS"
I missed almost all of last season's South Park but as I was playing Chinatown Wars myself one night, I caught that episode and I was in hysterics.
Seriously, Cartman...why DID Chinatown Wars have to come out during the Recession?
Well at least you can get a new copy for $20. Forget lunch!
This game is amazingly fun. I've never played any of the series but I have watched it being played and although fun, the in game world always seemed way to massive for me to handle.
So when the rave reviews started pouring in for the DS game, I was curious and I am beyond glad I took the chance.
Still a massive world, still ultra violent and very much clever, Chinatown Wars ate my soul for a few weeks well.
And then when I had to confront Uncle Kenny...::tear:: Even H1 was sad.
