Books:

A little low this month.

13: Scott Pilgrim’s Precious little life. Most of this book was covered in the movie, not many surprises. Slightly different in parts.

14: Scott Pilgrim vs. The World. This book has a couple large sections that weren’t covered by the movie. Kim Pine is even better in the book than in the movie. The fight sequence in this was way, way shorter though.

Games:

31. Fallout: New Vegas. Finished one of the 4 ending paths. Quite enjoying it past the horrible oblivion/fallout 3/bethesda bugs. Fun seeing the western groups again.

32. Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge. Tons of fun, but also one of those games where some of the puzzles can’t be easily puzzled out.

33. Blade Kitten. I may have discussed this one before. It’s a bit too generic, the 3d movement slows down the game a bit. Maybe would have been better if it were fully 2d? But it was still fun to have that degree of freedom of movement.

34. Tales of Monkey Island: Launch of the Screaming Narwhal. Another one where the puzzles are just a bit tougher than I can handle without help… Sam and Max was easier. Maybe that says something about my sanity…

35. Tales of Monkey Island: The Siege of Spinner Cay. Pretty much the same as above.

36. Tales of Monkey Island: The Lair of the Leviathan. Same…

37. Zettai Hero Project: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman. This game is a lot of fun, though it can be frustrating when you lose due to the game not giving you enough meat… The humor and setting is just insane. I think I’ve barely scratched the surface though.

38. Sly Cooper and the Thevius Racoonus. Fun platformer, perhaps too easy? Looking forward to the next one.

Videos:

85. Tsubasa: Resevoir Chronicles. Fun at times, drags at other times.

86. Babylon 5: Thirdspace. *meh*

87. Doctor Who: Planet of Evil. I mostly slept through it.

88. Babylon 5: The River of Souls. Unusually good for a B5 movie…

89. Star Trek: The Animated Series. I actually enjoyed this… Often strayed from the star trek orthodoxy, and sometimes drifted into TOS 3rd season territory with its storylines, but…

90. Battlestar Galactica Season 4. Focuses on the 5 lost cylons. *shrug*

91. Battlestar Galactica Season 4.5. More of the same. Relatively nice ending, combined with a cheesy ending that can either be interpreted as “Don’t build robots” or “be nice to your robots”

92. Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid. More of the same of the first season’s FMP.

93. James and the Giant Peach. Bizarre and weird. I love it.

94. Le Portrait de Petite Cossette. Japanese ghost stories. Meh.

95. Wallace and Gromit 3 tales. Fun, uneven quality though.

96. Wallace and Gromit, Loaf and Death. Really good.

97. Doctor Who: Pyramids of Mars. I’m not sure why, but I really didn’t enjoy this one.

98. The Fountain. Meh. I like twisty stories normally, but this one was just silly.
