"let's mosey"
I don't have much to say, except that the new scanner/printer combo is a dream. Having an Epson scanner again is really making me appreciate how shitty the Canon one actually was. (I'm still mad it broke after so little time, though).
I did some test prints yesterday after rescanning and editing a bunch of stuff, and they look AMAZING. Now I've just got to get some more A4 photo paper, and figure out what to put in the description box in Etsy, and they can go up! \o/
(I was considering moving my shop from Etsy to one that integrates with my website but it's actually cheaper for me to be on Etsy right now (even if they do take a chunk of my profits, which they do). So yeah. I will update here when everything is go!)

thenicochan asks: Do you have a favorite TV series? If so, what would you say it is?
FAAAAAAARSCAPE!
*ahem*
I mean, possibly Buffy as well, but I didn't go off Farscape like I did Buffy (not looking forward to rewatching S5+ is all I'm saying). But then again, Farscape wasn't around long enough for me to go off it, which is something I'm very, very pleased about. (I mean, I wasn't happy about the cancellation at the time, but in hindsight it proved to be a good thing).
I think that a lot of my love for this show, in some ways, is nostalgia. At the end of this year, it will be twenty years since it first aired in the UK. I was nobbut eighteen at the time. I watched it from the very beginning to the very end. I went on the internet to talk to other people about it, and I made a lot of friends that way. The fandom was pretty much very good, we all got on, and there was no in-fighting, or arguing over ships, or any of the things that seem to consistently wreck fandoms these days. There were the odd troll or two on the BBoard I was on, but they were few and far between.
But yeah. It's a story about John Crichton, an astronaut. Who ends up being a fish out of water but IN SPACE! It is funny, sad, hopeful, really sad, but also a very compelling story. It's an Australian produced show, and that shows so hard in the humour. And there are muppets! Rygel, one of the main characters, is a muppet, but he's so well acted (both by his puppeteer and his voice actor) that you forget he's a muppet. Same for Pilot.
The character designs are awesome. The ladies kick ass! (There's literally only one character who starts off as a screaming, ahhhh protect me! type, and she ends up kicking ass in the end. I hated her when she first came in. I missed her like burning when she left). Crichton isn't perfect! Things get fucked up on the regular! The end isn't all happy, happy, joy, joy (I mean, it isn't a downer, but it's also not all shiny).
So yes, I do have a favourite TV series. I'm due a rewatch - me and mum were going to watch it together, but I think I might hold off for a little bit because of that, at the moment. Anyway, I've got the rest of Buffy and FFXII to get through first ;)

16 - Game with the best cut scenes
I don't know? Much like gameplay, this isn't something I really think about when I'm playing a game.
17 - Favorite Antagonist
Albert Wesker.
Like. If you didn't know this answer was coming, then again, you must be new here. I can't really justify this with anything. I'm not sure I liked where things went in RE5 (well, some of them. I mean, him and Jill spending a lot of time together sure made my shipper heart happy. The rest of it, not so much). But I just. I like that he's villainous and, for the most part, it's not given excuses - it's more like he's evil, and he enjoys being evil, end of. And I like that. I really dislike when villains are woobified, and the excuse is generally, "oh they had a terrible childhood!" or likewise. Let evil people be evil, because real life is often like that, too.
18 - Favorite Protagonist
Basch fon Ronsenberg
Kaim from Lost Odyssey?
Actually, you know what? CLOUD STRIFE
That boy gets put through A LOT. And is not as emo as everyone says he is, though honestly, I wouldn't blame him if he was.
This answer may change, given time to think about it, but right now I'm sticking with this one.

20 - Favorite Genre
I would have to say RPGs, since it's what I own the most of, and what I play the most of. Although I'm partial to racing games, as well, but not that you'd know it, since I don't own any for my Xbox (though we keep getting copies of Forza in at work, so one day I might have to nab one).
