Moment(s) the [nth]: Honorable mentions, part 1

Here I stand some three days after the conclusion of Project Twelve Moments 2009, my fingers bent and bloodied, my mind weeping ichorous tears after twelve days of wracking. And yet my work is unfinished. A mere twelve posts aren’t enough to cover every specimen of drawn and/or animated media I consumed in 2009 that [...]

Finishing Fate for real

I’ll say, tentatively, that “Heaven’s Feel” (or “Heavens Feel,” whichever you prefer) might’ve been my favorite of Fate’s three routes.

Windows Update and my own carelessness [...]

Still, this is probably the last set of annotated screenshots I’ll post before I start digging through the reactions of my esteemed colleagues in [...]

All that to get to the title screen?

Evidently I have a penchant for ignoring this dusty corner of my internet empire (more of an inconsequential fiefdom, really, but hey, we have Samuel Delaney and Paul Kinkaid’s occasional attention) for month-long stretches. You can stop your despairing, however, as I’ve finally gotten far enough into Fate/stay night that it’s hooked me (and hooked [...]
