Warehouse 13 surprised me last year with how fun it was. Was glad to see it come back for a second season and they did a very good job before the season started to not spoil the season’s beginning. (Cliffhanger at end of season 1, despite the ad blitz for season 2 they managed not to spoil the resolution of the cliffhanger by showing any scenes that would give it away.) Looks like 4 episodes left in the season to go, so that means another month until I have to come up with something new to watch.

Psyche and Burn Notice both got me back into watching them this season. Actually missed most of the previous season of Burn Notice so it took me a bit to catch up, and Psyche previously ran hot-and-cold with me as some episodes were great and some of them just had a few too many annoying ‘sound effect and zoom in as Shaun notices something!’ moments in them. But both shows have been fun this season and I hope they both get renewed for another.

Other than that, watched a bit of True Blood (started reading the books and was surprised by how fun the first one was, need to get some of the others sometime), and the Closer (can’t bring myself to watch the show regularly, but it is usually pretty good).

During the summer I picked up season 1 of Castle and season 1 of White Collar on dvd. Watched the Castle season already and loved it, looking forward to season 2 coming out on dvd soon and season 3 starting on TV.

White Collar I caught an episode of on tv, looked interesting, picked up the first season on dvd and just haven’t gotten to watching it yet. It is on my ‘shelf of dvds to watch’ along with the entire series of Deadwood (saw most of it on HBO, been meaning to watch the dvds), the second season of Black Lagoon (watched the first season, own the manga up to vol 9, just not gotten to season 2 yet), the complete series of Claymore (manga is still ongoing when last I looked, curious to see how different the anime is and where it ends at), and the first part of Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood (loved the manga series which has since ended, the first anime series was pretty good though very untrue to the manga, the bits I’ve already seen of this anime series are more accurate to the manga though still not entirely so).

Okay, not communicating too well. Too sleepy. Stayed up late the last few nights to play the CO Open Beta.

Yesterday I got my Force character through the Desert entirely and that took it to 14 and moved them on to Millennium City to start quests there. Today I logged in and thought I’d get my Munitions character though the Canada missions and have two people for M.City.

Uh… Didn’t quite work out. They lowered exp rates in the overnight patch and what should have taken me from 9-14 instead got me barely into level 12. So my Munitions character ended up doing the Canada and the Desert missions and that got it to 14 and on to the big city.

Millennium City, by the way, is both gorgeous looking and huge. So big, no zoning between sections, it actually feels like it could be a real full-size city. But with the exp nerf I haven’t had much luck doing anything there. I quickly ran through all the level 14 missions, and the level 15 missions and now I am looking at the level 16s and not sure I can survive them as I am only halfway through level 14 exp’wise.

Hoping they come up with a better adjustment for character advancement rate and exp hand-outs before the game goes live. I really don’t want to have to spend too much time grinding just to be able to survive missions.

Other than that, I watched the most recent two episodes of Eureka that I had sitting on my DVR. Fun show, pretty good season so far. The show has never been one that I really felt rushed too see, but has always been one I enjoyed watching. At least they have a better sponsor and product placement this season. The car they have been pimping in some shots is far less annoying that the Degree deodorant from last season (I think it was Degree, I forget now which brand it was). Still, I have to wonder how the Sheriff’s love life will go this season. The last time they tried to have him date someone else it was the dry cleaning lady in season 2 I think and she just disappeared between seasons without any mention in season 3. Tess though is a more interesting character so it’ll be interesting to see how things happen from here on out.

ANyays, need sleep now. Badly. End of beta event is tomorrow in CO. Of course, I have to be across town doing some work tomorrow. Just need to get work done quickly so I can get back home and have time to enjoy fighting giant robots.
