I really wanted to be able to comment on a complete project sometime in this weekend period, but it's really not to be. Persona 4 is a very long game (which I'm nearing the end of), and a few friends were around when I was playing it. Near the middle, the series usually inserts something to break the serious mood, and it's fairly long, so I watched what amounted to 'The Culture Fair' episode which involved a little fan service, poking fun at the male characters, and basically a lot of mutual embarrassment.
Something that just came to mind - the humor seems to come from the female characters lack of self-esteem (and one exception) while humor that stemmed from male characters tended to take the form of digs at their egos and situations where their masculinity is called into questions. IE, the females were entered into a beauty pageant as a joke, while the males were entered into a cross-dressing event as a similar gag. These norms are going to be a part of my eventual wrap-up on the game, though, so I won't give an opinion about it now.
Discussion about my game has become more intense here, and a few others have asked to play so I'll probably open a few slots for characters that tend to come and go. Honestly, I'm a little flattered. I should have the third game wrap-up on the website tomorrow.
I'm continuing to play MineCraft. It's a difficult game to talk about because there's no metric of success.
One thing I've been thinking about for a while is the Sandman series which, as I mentioned in passing a while ago, I actually did finish reading. I think I owe the series a re-read before I launch into thoughts about it and it'll be difficult to speak of it without launching into what's just a recap.
