I ordered Black Butler off Amazon along with Parasyte 6 and 7. Someone stole it off my doorstep. Now I have to spend $30 again unless Amazon will re-ship the items or refund my money.

@parasyteFMA: WTF, someone stole your package from your doorstep? That's terrible!
 
...That's also why I have all my stuff shipped to the office now. USPS will just leave a note and have me come pick stuff up, but Fedex and UPS will leave it at the front door. It's upstairs, so I think people are less likely to just grab stuff, but it's still pretty open and available.
 
Ugh. That's just terrible. >_<

The Nightmare for Nunnally series is good since it puts a dramatic twist on events.
 
You should try playing Resident Evil 5.  That's what is keeping me busy today. Best to play with two players. Go solo and computer controlled Sheva wastes ammo.
giaon Jan. 26, 2010 at 5:32 p.m.
@FoxxFireArt: I've been meaning to pick up Nunnally but haven't really gotten to it yet :\ One of these days! I'm making a big Borders run this week, actually; maybe I'll get to it then.
 
Haha, I've got a HUGE stack of video games to play! RE5 isn't on it-- I haven't played ANY of the Resident Evil games --but maybe eventually. In the meantime I have to finish Tales of Monkey Island, Dragon Age, and Fallout 3...before Final Fantasy XIII comes out. ;)

@gia: 
I had a Borders run a week or two ago. I got Negima! Vol 24, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei Vol 1, and Gunsmith Cats Vol. 1.
 
Resident Evil 5 is a lot of fun, but it's really best when played two player online. There is a heavy emphasis on team work. I like the RE series, because they make you be careful with ammo. It's harder in RE 5, because later you have guys with guns. They aren't mindless zombies and monsters anymore.
Other games I'm playing are Lego Batman(PS3), Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box(DS), and Ghostbusters(PS3).

Black Butler WHOOOO!!! Since Yen Press put a hold on our account because one issue for some reason couldn't be delivered, I didn't get past like the first chapter. We called about the situation Though, and they should resume delivery with an extended subscription. Alas, tuition and rent take priority right now.
Addfwynon Jan. 26, 2010 at 10:11 p.m.
Black Butler sounds like something I may try out, my tastes always run to the dark psychological manga or the happy lovey-dovey sappy ones.  I guess I'm an extremist.

Naruto Shippuden Box Set is coming out... YaY!
 
You guys should play ping pong.....

Oh my god! My package came today! There was a mix-up at the post office and it got shipped across town. So that's why it said it had already been delivered when I checked the tracking number. I am just happy I can read Black Butler in peace.

Geekachu knows all to well his co-host's abusive ways.

Amen. The Geekachu spiraling out ot space was pretty priceless though.

@parasyteFMA: Glad to hear your packages is alright. Recently I got a huge recommendation for Parastye. Haven't started reading it, but Deb let me borrow the first 8(?) volumes on faith alone. I'd never heard of it before.

giaon Jan. 28, 2010 at 4:53 p.m.
@parasyteFMA: Thank god!
 
@Konanda: It's not abuse; he secretly wants it.
