I don't remember where it was from but someone pointed out that if magic  exists it's likely far more mundane than we think it would be. People expect miracles and flashy explosions but the more likely alternative is it's just little oddities that happen for no real reason. For example, how you can hear your name in a crowd easier than most other things. Or how when you're looking for something in particular and only that particular shape or color associated with it stands out while everything else is just background even if it's right in front of your face. Maybe you trip on things less than other people or have never experience a particular emotion or sensation that others are more prone to. Let's not discount the magic of wonder and imagination.

Yes, these things could just as easily be explained away as mental trickery and probability but that doesn't mean they aren't the same thing. Magic is often described as something unique or extraordinary that we simply don't have a complete explanation for.

So in that sense, I do believe in magic. Until there is nothing left in this universe without an explanation there will always be some form of it.

Figured I'd switch off between Deathwing and Witcher 3. Been itching to play it. I haven't played the first two Witchers but I've been told there's no real need and 3 is the best one anyway.

Nope. Too much work. My single most hated thing about Christmas. I love the holiday in general. The music, the sales, sometimes even the food, but I haaaaaate putting up decorations. I like seeing them though. HYPOCRISY, HO!

Sword Art Online: Hollow Realization. I am loving it!

I just finished Hollow Fragment a few months ago. I hear the series just gets better from there. I was gonna go for the Plat but after 100+ hours working towards it I easily had another 40+ to go. I was done. My patience couldn't last.

Breakfast. Eggs and hash browns mixed together, bacon or sausage, omelettes, scrambles...the list goes on. Breakfast has the best foods by far.

I don't really eat meals at traditional times though. Often I only eat one meal a day.

Castlevania: Circle of the Moon. Seventh Castlevania game I've played, I want to do some catching up with the franchise. I always like to play one game on my handheld while playing another game on my computer or home console, in this case, Dark Souls.  

I do pretty much the same thing. One console, one handheld. Lets me get through multiple games at a time.

I played Circle of the Moon recently as well. I actually derped hard and went through an area I wasn't supposed to which I thought was just ridiculously difficult. Turns out I was supposed to go elsewhere first so I could survive the waters of the area instead of trying to power my way through. I got super frustrated and thought the game was being randomly unfair.

My expectations of what VR can be kind of hinder my desire to get any current stuff. Too many fictional universes where VR is fully immersive like .Hack// and Sword Art Online that are too far advanced for anything we'll get in even the next few decades, if full immersion is even possible like that.

I don't know why but the ones that have you doing some sort of mundane task are the best ones. 3v1 game where you have to dust everything in a room from Mario Party 6.

You mean like how watching Dragon Ball Z must make me the manliest of men who can benchpress a house?

Time for some...discord. 

I like them in general. I'll eat them most ways but my favorites are:

-Hashed/diced and mixed with eggs

-Tater tots with cottage cheese

-Julienne smothered in cheese

There's this one pie that's like pumpkin cream with gingerbread crust. I think it was the Sara Lee's brand. It is absolutely divine.

I'm not even into dudes but there's still a few that I would say are attractive, if for different reasons than the topic intends, like Alan from Marchen Awakens Romance.

I think it's still too soon for a new generation. Feels like the PS4 is just barely getting started.

Just finished the Spyro Reignited Trilogy. Definitely worth the time even though I just did the whole series earlier this year (right before it was announced so I had no idea it was coming).

Next up is Space Hulk: Deathwing. I've been reading Warhammer 40k books for awhile so it'll be good to get some visuals to go along with what I've read from the books so far.

I always keep them until they break down. You never know when you want to replay an old game or find a game you haven't played on an old system. I find PS2 games I haven't played all the time. Dozens of them at least.

I got Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 4 on the Switch, hoping they do well enough that they consider porting VC2 and VC3 on it as well

I doubt they'll ever bring 2 and 3 over. It's been entirely too long and neither was ever as popular as the original.

As always I'll be at work the night before and the night of. Easy work days with increased pay and lots of time to read? I'll take it.

They're definitely very different. They don't get bothered by a lot of little things they used to and you can see how their friendship has practically no kinks because of how comfortable they are with each other.

It's clear that a lot of the premise of the show, understanding friendship and how it functions, doesn't really apply to them much anymore. I think the fact that they've introduced so many other characters is the only way to keep the original characters from looking like they haven't grown at all which ultimately hurts the entire message and delivery of the show.

The world in the show has grown significantly. To keep it stuck on a couple of characters forever who don't really have friendship problems would make for lackluster episodes which would drive the show into the ground.

Labyrinth Of Refrain: Coven Of Dusk for Nintendo Switch, I'm kind of addicted to the simple but awesome gameplay style and charming story!

It was fun for awhile but the battle preparation was getting a little out of hand. They kind of overcomplicate things once you get down to the fourth dungeon or so. Having a party made up of 15 in battle and just as many for passive purposes is bleh when you only get eight classes for the entire game. Especially when coven slots restrict to specific classes or even genders.

I only read particular things like Warhammer 40,000 or Redwall. I prefer more visual mediums like video games and comics but I will read particularly good stuff that catches my eye. Plus I need something to do when it's super slow at work and a book is easy to put down immediately.

Been playing Spyro Reignited on Xbox One, just hit 120% on the first game and got all the achievements for it. Was quite fun minus some annoyances. Really looking forward to starting the second game. :3

I just finished it myself last night. The gears in Twilight Harbor were randomly annoying. I had to loom up where to find the last on one that door frame you had to use the supercharge to get to. I never would have found that on my own. Other than that a super easy Plat.

Some of the trophies in 2 sound a bit harder but I'm sure it'll still be super easy.

I've been noticing that a lot of the jumps seem ever so slightly tighter because I've been missing jumps and glides I used to never have issues with. I think they changed how quickly Spyro goes down or something.

I finished K-On a few months back, now I'm just deciding what to watch next. I'm still sort of new to anime so I'm catching up with most of the well-known stuff at the moment, lol

I've been meaning to watch this one. I hope it's as good as Beck was as far as being a music anime goes.

I've always liked Chad Kroeger's voice. It's the main thing that has always stood out to me. Like most bands that get played on the radio a lot though they'll get popular because of a few stand-out songs like "Hero" and "This Is How You Remind Me" but most everything else they have is boring schlop that doesn't try very hard. It's somewhat misleading about who they are as a band.

I am partial to certain songs myself though. Their cover/collaberation with Kid Rock for "Saturday Night's Alright (For Fighting)" is a great song to get pumped up with.

Everything I eat.

Gonna catch up to me at some point I'm sure.

I figure I'll just gorge myself until I either die or have some major complication that forces me to eat extremely healthy the rest of my life. Whichever comes first. You'll have to pry food I love from my cold dead hands. Maybe literally.
