I'd love to say I did something exciting after coming back to Osaka, but I mostly just settled into a nice vacation from my vacation. All the walking around and spending tons of money really took it's toll so I enjoyed the down time. It's funny, I originally started getting into Gattaca because of a reference they made to the collectors set in The Big Bang Theory but it's actually turning out to be very interesting. I kind of wish I was a bigger fan because the new season kind of jumps in where the old series left off so I'm still a little boggled on some of the plot devices. On the bright side it is one of the few things I've been able to watch in crystal clear high def on my TV. For some reason most of the collection at the movie rental places here are still DVD only so it's hard to come by anything especially HD.
I downloaded a new release from the Sony Store for my PS3. I'll admit that I was suckered in by the fact that it was a Square Enix release from their flagship Final Fantasy franchise. After playing it for a few minutes I realized it was a complete waste of ten bones. It has the graphics of a mid ranged cell phone application and considering the recent popularity in tower defense games as downloadable content across the platforms you would think they were going to redefine the genre. Just look at how well Tactics was received among turn-based strategy enthusiasts. I wouldn't be surprised if "Crystal Defenders" was some how released by a black market company without Square's approval. Maybe that's just wishful thinking, because of one of my all time favorite companies starts to put out garbage what hope is there?
