Random Things, 4/29/15
Okay, maybe the next next post is on the New Mutants…
Listening to Miiro by Akino from BLESS4, which is on Itunes! What it this song? The opening to the Kancolle anime.
I love this song. I always got the sense of “being part of a company that fights evil” from both the song and anime OP. I wish sometimes we could get the same sense of belonging in church. There’s the idea of the church being part of a grand company of believers, an immortal army that stretches throughout time and that each member provides their own gifts and talents to the grand cosmic battle of the faith: it’s an idea that really doesn’t get much airtime as it should.
Horrified by Scooby Doo & Kiss: A Rock And Roll Mystery
Yes, THAT Kiss.
Warner Brothers has been suspiciously meta with some of its older properties for some time now. Both Scooby Doo and Ther Flinstones have had crossovers with the WWE wrestling federation, the former with John Cena’s animated likeness plastered on the cover. They had Scooby Doo meets Batman, but in a real sense, aka Batman as a voice actor (played by Adam West.) But this…
Look, I know KISS meets the Phantom Park is a thing. I watched it growing up. It’s not just the inclusion of them, because I’d be up in arms about the hilarious homage to them in Love Live of all things. It’s not them having superpowers. It’s not team-ups in general, or even in specific: 70’s Scooby teamed up with the Harlem Globetrotters for heaven’s sake. It’s the sheer soullessness of fusing them together when neither of them fit. Also, this:
RAEP CULTURE ON DOGS! NO INFORMED CONSENT!
Still Playing Final Fantasy XIV.
I want to talk about how that game views religion sometime, because it’s unusual how it does so.
Current jobs are Lvl 50 Conjurer/White Mage, Level 50 Leatherworker, Level 50 Miner. I’m leveling both Black Mage and Marauder to get a Tank and DPS class to help out the free company Im in. I’m still rough around the edges running instances with my classes, as it’s very fast paced and often more reliant on how much of the dungeon you memorize than skill sometimes. It’s fun though, especially since I’m finding I need to step up and lead.
Not talking about Baltimore. Not my place.
So what’s up with you all?
