For the past week, I've been immensely enjoying Dragon Age 2. First Dragon Age I've ever played, too, though I am considering hunting down Origins in some discount bin.

Anyway, it appears a number of things have been changed story-wise, and some fans are Not Pleased (though when is the entirety of any fanbase ever satisfied?). I've been reading about the retcons, and they don't seen all that horribly RUINED FOREVER to me. Then again, I am a Warcraft fan. The amount of retcons I've accepted between Warcraft: Orcs and Humans and WoW: Cataclysm has probably done a lot to desensitize me for such things.

Anyway, I daresay that even if I had played DA before, and even if I did find the retcons objectionable, I'd still enjoy the game. Because Varric's chest hair is mesmerizing the characters are so great.

I haven't had a cell phone ringtone that didn't come with the phone since I was fifteen. Today, however, I loaded the Steel Samurai theme on my phone. Because I'm a geek. I also set a voice clip from Warcraft II as the SMS tone (an orc yelling "We're being attacked!"). I feel my phone is now sufficiently geeky.

Also, for something much more awesome:

One Piece 526. Spoilarzz )

LOST started on Nelonen (Finnish channel four) yesterday. I think that for the first time since certain idiots stopped showing Stargate SG-1 sometime in 2003, there'll be a show I'll actually want to watch.

I also got a book in the post. ^_^ This is a big deal, because it's in English, and books that are in English usually have to be shipped and take two weeks to arrive. It's a Warcraft novel, Lord of the Clans to be precise, which I don't think is terribly well-written (it reads like a semi-decent fanfic at times). I find myself rolling my eyes at some sentences. I read some of them aloud to my sister, who thought that the author might be on of those people who have been told that more adjectives in random places make the story better. The dialogue is also kind of awkward in some places. I keep reading on, though, because I want to know Thrall's story, and because there are few things cuter than a six-year-old orc intimidated by his own shadow. Although I still wish someone else would have authored this book, or that they'd at least let me have a look at it before it got published.

But, not all of today was fun and games. The new One Piece was supposed to come out today, and it didn't. Woe.
