Hello. I've not been on Livejournal for a while. Essentially, I fell into Mass Effect (finally), and I have been playing that until it's basically too late to make posts. Also I got kind of fannish about Les Miserables, and started watching The Following. And whatever scraps of attention I had left basically went on Wreck-It Ralph and The Cave. The Cave is a little computer game I've been playing, which is kind of amazing. It was an online exclusive - possibly a Playstation Network exclusive - but it was only £10 and it's this great little puzzle game with beautiful graphics. You get a choice of 7 characters, and they've made exactly half of them female (3 women, 3 men, and a twin sister and brother). And two of those characters are POC, which is two more than some games manage. And all of the characters are dicks. And the game is about how dickish they all are. It's wicked. I am on my third playthrough now with the last of the characters.

Then there's Mass Effect obviously. I am enjoying Mass Effect. Well, except that ( Spoilers )

And then there's The Following. Oh, The Following. ( Big spoilers up to episode 4 )

Wreck-It Ralph is also very good. I was a little underwhelmed by it, but that might well be because I'd been looking forward to it for 4 months, since it came out in the US and had to start avoiding spoilers on Tumblr. And possibly because I was expecting a little more wrecking. But it was lovely all the same, and well worth seeing if you like animated films.

I meant to go to Wakefield today and book train tickets for Redemption. But then there was snow so I couldn't. I'll have to go tomorrow. REDEMPTION IS SO SOON. I kept thinking it was at the end of February, and then remembering it was actually a week before the end of February. And that February is very short. It will probably be my last convention for a year or so though, now that Connotations has finished ::sob::

Also, are we sure the Pope is quitting being Pope? Maybe he's just giving it up for Lent. Haha.
