Some Thoughts on Various Things
I can't really think of one thing to blog about today. I could blog about FMA vs FMAB, but I don't think I have enough to say to fill out a blog. I was thinking maybe I could blog about Rok's present again, but I feel I have said a lot on that already. I could blog about Gods again, but I also feel I have said a bit much about that. So I decided I would blog a little bit about several things I am thinking about today. So here goes.
I think that FMA the 2003 version has a better start then Brotherhood does. I feel Brotherhood skips over a lot and rushes through to where the stories really depart. And I feel there is some merit to that but I don't feel it was done very well in this case and I didn't appreciate all of the sudo-comedic scenes, they were too cartoony and I think they didn't fit well with what I was expecting from Brotherhood. It also gave me a feeling that the director figured you had already seen the 2003 version so they didn't need to flesh everything out. But I really don't appreciate that, because while I find 2003 had a better start I would not consider it a good anime, and needing to see it in order for people to be more believable and make things make a little more sense doesn't really sit right with me. But I do think after Brotherhood gets passed what it assumes you have already seen, it starts to get far better then 2003 and while I haven't watched all of Brotherhood quite yet, I would consider it a good anime that I would watch again. While with 2003 halfway through I kept thinking "I am going to finish this but I don't think I am going to watch it ever again."
I haven't been working on Rok's present for about two weeks now. I want to work on it, but as soon as I get home I don't want to do anything but play video games and relax from work. Rok and I have this problem a lot. We want to do all sorts of things, but after working 8 hours at our mentally strenuous job we don't want to do things except lay down and do one of the things we both have enjoyed most of our lives, play video games. But I am going to try to work his present for an hour each day until I can finally finish it. We'll see how that goes.
We still haven't played Gods, I had forgotten about it actually. But at our work we don't have specific desks, so we sit at whatever desk we can find and the other day I found a desk I haven't sat at for a while that had tons of notes about the campaign. I was going to start working on it again, but every time I try I just get sad knowing we are are probably never going to finish it despite the fact that I have already put so much work into it. I might finish it just to get it done and out of my system. Then I might even be able to sell it to other dorks for like $5 or something. At least try and get some value out of all of my work to build this story. But I am not sure I could even sell it, I might just have to put it somewhere for free and hope at least one group can get through it and have fun doing so. But for right now I am going to continue to set it aside until enough time has passed and I don't get sad whenever I remember it, or we actually play it again. Even one session.
So those are some of my thoughts on things, sorry I keep ranting about Rok's present and my campaign, those are just the things I have been thinking about the most recently. I am also sorry that I am ending this blog on more of a sadder note, so while my words my not convey this, I will directly say it here:
Stay cool.
