The second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is much, much better than the first.

Spoiler: show
It's weird to hear them talk about Kree without ever actually saying "Kree". Just "blue angels from space".

And I just realized that with the Kree connection, Skye and her parents are probably Inhumans. It didn't click for me until Skye's father mentioned the "chosen few" who could handle the object and/or would survive a Kree invasion.

Oh, yes. Very much so.
I've restarted a bunch of times, but that's par for the course when it comes to me and these kinds of RPGs.

Really enjoying it though.

^ I restarted quite a few times myself also. Really happy with the progress on my current mage tho so if I ever restart it'll be a completely new file.

Dragon Age is taking up all of my non-work time. Why is the Hinderlands so large though? Like I'm walking way too far for a video game even with a mount.

Not liking how they've done the mages this go round either. But I'm already level 8 so it's too late to pick something else :mikihead:

I started to read Game of Thrones 2 days ago. Literary style is so noticeably old, not a surprise for Martin, but it still takes some time to jump entirely into the flow of the lecture.
I've read about 120 pages, and so far it's already being incredibly good!

Spent much of the day reading and managed to finish Locke & Key by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez. Gothic mystery/horror with an interesting fantasy twist involving the eponymous key(s).

It was very good, but I think it could have been better; the concluding part, "Omega & Alpha", felt rushed, like the creators wrapped things up a little too neatly and just wanted to move on. But at the same time, given what actually happens leading up to it, a rushed conclusion might have been inevitable. Once the mystery breaks, things happen in a hurry.

I'll need to think about it for a while. I'd like to reread it, but being a mystery, it might not bear rereading. One of the main characters even says, early on, "You can't understand, because you're reading the last chapter of something, without having read the first chapters." Those "first chapters" are revealed in the course of the story, so there would be much less impact the second time around.

I dunno, I might reread it simply to see if I notice more of the visual clues hidden along the way. And Rodriguez's style of illustration is perfectly suited to hiding visual clues.

It was also shot as a pilot for Fox, but it didn't get picked up. Too bad.

By the way, "Joe Hill" is the pen name of Joseph King, the son of Stephen King. Like father, like son.

^ I think I checked out a volume of that from our library once, quite a ways back, but I was never able to find more (an unfortunate problem with their comics/graphic novels section). If I remember correctly, it was the art on the cover that caught my attention initially. (I always thought it was interesting that Stephen King's wife and all but one of his children went into writing. The family business.)

This talk of reading makes me miss books more. I hope the issues with my glasses are able to be sorted out soon. :geek:

I finally received my order of Alpha Sapphire today. So I've been playing for a few hours.
Everything is really familiar so far, but Mauville City sure has changed. :lol:

Finally finished playing most of Dragon Age Inquisition. It took forever but the game was great. Best Dragon Age so far.
