What series/game/book/etc have you finished recently? Did it live up to your expectations? Are you sad it's done, or just glad to tick it off the box?

Mine - I finally got around to finished Free! Iwatobi Swim Club, the second season. It was cute, though didn't melt me as much as the first season, probably because I didn't care about the new characters. And the new ending theme song just didn't live up to the campy shameless awesomeness of the first one. But yeah, overall, enjoyable, glad I got around to it.

That's how I felt. I kind of enjoyed it but overall, I felt like it was a shame that it was so much less whatever than the first season. I thought that in some ways, they lost themselves with the extra characters, etc.

I genuinely enjoyed the second season, but it was unexpectedly real and (at times) depressing. Then (thank god) hopeful, but that ending theme was so inappropriate and gutting after that episode. I kind of went, "Are you seriously doing this to me?"

Haha.

I didn't realize how much I liked the main cast until it was over.

Game of Thrones! Well, finished as much of the show that is out. I can't wait for more!

Finally finished the Silmarillion a few weeks ago. It was hard to get through, so I'm proud of myself. The prose style was not my favorite, but I love the world and the characters and have been drowning myself in fics ever since.

Congratulations! I finally made it through The Sil a few summers ago with the help and encouragement of TORn. I don't think I could have done it without them.

Honestly I really only made it through because I was determined to finish it and because I wanted to finally understand everything in the fanfics I was reading. Because there were some characters I already knew about and loved and read fics about, but I didn't understand all the references.

Fanfic series called "no matter how righteous, you'll still crash and burn." It was that divorced Steve Rogers/Tony Stark series an anon mentioned a few days ago.

It absolutely wrecked me. I stayed up until 5:00 AM reading it. Holy shit did it hurt.

Wrapped up System Shock 1 the other night. The mouselook patch went a long way towards making it playable for a grumpy 30-something who's out of patience with the shit old games used to pull, and the game is still as fun and creepy as I remember. There's a part towards the end where you have to work your way through the security deck to get up to the bridge before the bridge detaches itself; it feels almost apocalyptic as the whole space station shakes periodically as the reactor starts to overload, and there's a strong sense of urgency. And then you get to the bridge and bam, it looks like a xenomorph hive in there, the lights are out and mutant cyborgs are everywhere.

I am now on to the sequel. I'm having a lot more fun than I was expecting; I spent a long time grumping over this game because it was inferior to Bioshock (I still stand by that) but clearly I'm not as old as I thought because I'm still enjoying this. It might be because I've got the community patch and graphics upgrades going. (The texture and model upgrades are a must -- they take a 1999 game that looks like it came out in 1997 and make it look like it came out in 2002.)

Broadchurch. I thought that the actress was good but I came to the end of it and the asinine "plot twist" and I was just pissed off that I'd wasted my time on it at all.

It was like Swiss Family Robinson by way of Lost in Space, with a mixed-race family, where all the kids are girls except the alien. It was good fun, I've always been a sucker for deserted island stories. I will say, I've read plenty of 'YA' books that I thought would be more accurately characterized as general, but this is the first time in a while I've read a sci-fi book that left me thinking "That was actually rated E for everyone!" Which is fine, it means I can pass it on to my baby brother.

Ooh, I LOVE things that are really for everyone! Comics like that are totally the best. ^_^

I am ALMOST done slugging my way through When Rabbit Howls again.

My feelings are... conflicted. Like, on the one hand, I have to give the Troop Formation kudos for being willing to write a book on multi under their own name and be out about their identity and experiences back in the 80s. And a lot of multi lingo and some of the seeds of the radical/healthy multiplicity movement can be traced back to them. (Integration not being necessary, that being out is possible, the association between multi and the paranormal--I don't AGREE with everything associated with them, but the fact was, they still pulled it off.) And the book is proving useful to me just to see some other system going through the same shit I am.

But GOD is the book a slog. I really don't much care for the writing style, and I suspect that if I met the Troops in person, I would've loved to talk business but not like being around them very much personally.

Watched it last night and I'll have you know I only cried a couple of times.

(I didn't expect to enjoy it so much, tbh)

((Altho everytime Hiro drinks from that damn straw I'm reminded of that stupid tumblr post that acts like the only cause is thumb sucking, never mind the giant list and how it's basically just a habit some ppl don't grow out of, nooo, it's ~thumb sucking and thumb sucking only~))
