Borders Up For Sale

Well, fuck.

I seem to be involved in several industries that aren't doing so well. Figures, huh?

I mean, the anime industry isn't doing all that well right now. Most noticible was when Geneon fell. Bandai Visual (not Bandai Entertainment) just announced they were putting three titles on hiatus to reorganize how they released in the US market. (Okay, well Bandai Visual's take on releases weren't the best, I will admit. At least not for the US market. It would have been fantastic...for the Japanese market. :P )

And the print industry is not in the best of health either.

Though now I think of it, this isn't the only industry hurting right now. Any one else notice that a lot of industries are starting to have problems? (Except for maybe fuel...)

Though in other fun news, Bandai Entertainment just announced the rights for Code Geass season 2. Well, at least I don't have to worry about that for now.

Twilight Princess Start!

The poll winner: Zelda!

I just started Twilight Princess up and man is it so nice to playing Zelda again. When I was playing Ocarina of Time, I would find Epona and just run around Hyrule with her for a while. Always such great fun. And in Twilight Princess, Epona is with you from the start! Excellent. :>

Though when I started up Zelda, I thought for certain my Cube was bad. It wouldn't read Zelda or Smash Bros Melee or Crystal Chronicles. I knew it worked before because I was playing Smash Bros on it. But it's been a while since I played my Cube. Gently blowing air from a can of air over the inside of the Cube where you put the disc in seemed to do the trick. Whew. I didn't want to have to call up Nintendo or try to find another Cube.
