Just finished Red Vs Blue. Sadness. Endless sadness. Except for the part where people come back all the time. But still. Sad.

Went through my CD collection this week - I'm running out of space for new games, and I hardly ever listen to CDs anymore, so I figured get rid of a bunch of them, move some stuff around, free up some space. Unfortunately that left me with a huge stack of CDs I haven't listened to in a while, or that have one song on them I love but I never listened to the rest, or that I never listened to at all. 'Alright,' I figured 'I spend a lot of time in my bedroom - I'll just listen to them and decide which ones I want to keep from that'. I forgot that most of the stuff I do in my bedroom is playing games, or watching youtube videos - things that require sound. Still going to do it - it's just getting difficult finding things to do while I let entire albums play in the background.

Only have one season of Red Vs Blue left - they're short seasons, about 20 episodes each and the episodes are only about 6 or 7 minutes long on average. This season though, the season they made last year, that's the end of a trilogy of seasons, is 34 episodes - feels like it might be the Final final season. Which is fine, and a nice way to end it I guess. But I'm a little worried about what they're going to do to the characters. They've already changed my favourite character so much I barely recognise him sometimes - but then they bring him back a bit. And they've already literally been like "oh, they weren't dead" about a bunch of characters they previously killed, because they couldn't stand it I guess. So there's probably not that much to worry about. Unless it really is their planned final season, and they don't have to worry about the consequences anymore. Just have to watch it and see I guess. Then I can get back to reading the fic. I really didn't expect to get into the show as much as I have done. It's odd, but it's good.

Well. I went to see In The Heart Of The Sea today, hoping for some awesome giant whale revenge action. Instead I got a very odd film that couldn't seem to decide if it was a monster movie or an all-conquering hero story, and for a film supposedly based on the true story didn't include any of the details I've heard about whale-hunting at that time. But the important thing was that Chris Hemsworth is the hero no matter what I guess. That was a slightly queasy experience.

And I've been trying to catch up on Red Vs Blue, which is the web-based animation series the Let's Players I've been following got their start making, and which is referenced all the time and quoted everywhere. It's actually pretty good, but I dropped out of it some time around the extremely long PSAs. Then I found out there was actually a bunch of the slash I was looking for in this old comm I found and I started watching it again. And I knew that it turned away from humour a bit at some point and became a bit more existential-ish and like proper sci-fi, and...well that just happened. It got kind of nightmarish. And I know plot development is good and all but hnnnng, my favourite characters, and suddenly all those spoilers I accidentally saw make sense but in a much worse way than I thought they did. And hnnng. Still. Only 7 more seasons to go.

And then David Bowie and Alan Rickman died. So. This has been a fun week.

Also I literally have no better time than this to use the Christmas Whale icon, and I no longer have it because my extra userpics ran out a few months ago and I never rebought it. Hnnnnng.
