TV commentary:

Eureka- So what's up with no one even batting an eye when Holly-gram was all, "Do you know what its like to go through life not being able to touch yourself?" I mean, she obviously didn't mean in that way, but its just a really odd way to phrase it. Given her current predicament she could of said touch others or touch anything, or said what its like to be unable to feel. How can you not think dirty thoughts when someone talks about not being able to touch themselves.

And I forget, are all the Z-wave mishaps involving Carter because he was jacked in remotely? Or is it that he's the main character and thus the only focus when something happens to him? Because if that z-wave interaction with whatever Kevin dosed him with works on anyone who was in the machine, why have they glossed over that? I mean, the only reason they "cured" Jack was because Alison's all, "You're no longer the man I married!" and I was screwing over friends like Deputy Andy in the name of science. But if whatever Kevin did boosted Jack's brain power, I would think one of the Astreus folks would start experimenting with that, since they don't have the same concerns as Jack.

Lost Girl- Was this episode an exercise in having the cast do bad Southern and Irish accents? Also, Bo's hairstyle this ep made her look way hotter than she normally does. clevemire thinks its because it distracted from her striking nose.

WO blather- So, finally got some gold star abilities for weapons of various characters. It seems having high prosperity is almost essential though, that way you get a lot of weapon drops- I've been grinding on Rescue at Yi Ling, and with Prosperity +10, I was getting 5-8 weapons. Of course, it does get frustrating when none of the those weapons have gold abilities, or if they do, its like confluence or something.

Anyways, after tinkering around with the game a bit. It seems the must haves on your weapon are wind, slay, and absorption. Everyone should have these. Not to say other things like agility and bolt are non-essential, most people should have them, but there are a few where it might not be the best. I mean, let's go over the weapon attributes: ( cut for your benefit )

Heh, so I've been killing time for the past 45 minutes playing this rock-paper-scissors game the NY Times posted. There's two modes, novice where the computer "learns from scratch", and veteran, where its drawing on experience. Anyways after 250 rounds, I was at 94 wins, 76 ties, and 80 losses. Didn't bother trying to outplay it, just picked things on a whim.

WO blather- I'm an idiot, I had put verity on Kojiro yesterday because I wanted to see what his true musou looks like. Needless to say I was quite disappointed when it just added a couple of normal slashes after all his musou. And then I realized, he wasn't in SW3, and the "super-musous" were from SW3. Which is why I saw something special for Oda and Mitsuhide. Which again seems kinda unbalanced, as the SW3 true musous seem rather powerful compared to those of those of the DW characters or SW characters not in SW3. I mean, its almost like adding a DW-style musou to the end of a SW-style musou! And I don't think the steps they take to try and make the DW musous or non-SW3 musous more even with those are enough. I mean, a few extra slashes, or double damage plus fire? It just doesn't compare!

Anyways, Hojo and Ginchiyo's husband are next on my list to play. Supposedly Muneshige was considered Honda's rival for greatest warrior in the land? How am I only aware of this now? I woulda tried him out much sooner if I knew that was the case!

Watching PLL right now as I type this up. Da-yum, that's a nice shirt Em's wearing in the beginning, the practically see through grey one with the black bra underneath? scv('Nice!') Heh, is it me, or do Ezra and Ella have some chemistry going on? Heh, a triangle between Ezra and mother and daughter would be hilarious!

WO blather- So, tried Hojo and Muneshige today. Ujiyasu is okay. I didn't realize he's supposed to be old (though I suppose he was supposed to be Kenshin and Takeda's contemporary). I mean, he uses a sword/gun cane, but I figured that was just an affectation or something, like that's his style. But, he kinda walks with a limp. In any case, he has an interesting move-set, a mix of melee, gun, and bomb attacks. But he's a little slow for my taste.

Ginchiyo's husband on the other hand, is awesome! He kinda plays like a slightly slower, but stronger version of Ginchiyo. He has one of the best dash attacks in the game, IMO, a running shield charge which is great for charging into crowds. And his C8 is just ridiculously powerful, a 360 blast all around him. The rest of his moveset is very solid, which combined with his speed and power make him a force to be reckoned with.
