What I’ve Been Reading : Well I just got a short story collection called ” Classic Monsters Unleashed ” with a bunch of big name authors featuring their takes on … classic monsters , should’ve seen that coming . Also been reading a manga series called ” Deadman Wonderland ” , basically a group of prisoners with blood magic are put in a sort of fight club to entertain people visiting the prison . If that’s not fucked up enough , the protagonist of the story is completely innocent of the crime he was locked up for . I’m about 2/3’s of the way through the series and it’s pretty darn good . I’ve got a couple of stories recommended to me by fantasy fans to check out so I’ll get to those eventually .
What I’ve Been Watching : There hasn’t been any new series I’ve been interested in seeing so I’m going back and checking out some classic series that I missed out on due to either time or just ignorance of them on my part . One of those series being the anime ” Fate/Stay Night ” . A series that has a bunch of mages in modern day Japan summoning epic spirits to fight each other in a battle royale type deal . For the most part the series is good but I gotta admit the protagonist’s stubbornness seems to me to be exaggerated to an extent that it’s annoying instead of inspiring .
What I’ve Been Playing : I’ve been playing a dungeon crawler RPG named ” Dungeon Travelers 2 : The Royal Library & The Monster Seal ” . The game basically has you lead a squad of magical girls through various dungeons and use them to fight various monsters . Is the game a deep thought provoking RPG ? No … but it’s fun and that’s all I really want out of a game .
By the way , if there is anything y’all would like me to check out don’t be afraid to leave a recommendation . I won’t promise to get to it soon but odds are I’ll get to it . Hope you are having a nice day , peace out !
Just out of interest, did you get into ‘Squid Game’ at all?

Well, I have a list but I’ll try to keep it short: the acting is superb, the writing and dialogue are the best I’ve heard in a looong time, the music, the sets, the ideas, the plot. I’ve been looking for something that would keep me guessing, keep me on the edge of my seat and leave me wanting more. That’s what ‘Squid Game’ did for me and our son.
