Is what I ask myself whenever I pick up a book or game or movie that I know just by looking at the cover will be like a parasite sucking at my brain.

That has been Watchmen lately. I want to live and breathe this book. Something like this hasn't happened since maybe Signalis or Mouthwashing. Watchmen has been something lingering in the back of my mind since I was a child. Something I've always wanted to read but never got to cause it felt a little sacred not to know yet.

Anyways I've read up to the second encounter with Moloch. I feel Rorschach has been surprisingly docile for what I expected of him. I can see the mask slipping bit by bit, and I'm wondering where his story will go.

Unfortunately some things have been spoiled for me, but a Howcatchem can be just as entertaining as a Whodunit (I've been watching a lot of Columbo lately and reading Blood On The Tracks which is another kind of Howcatchem).

look up what the Pagliacci scene in the movie was like, I'm sorry to all those who like the movie but man does this scene suck balls in comparison to the comic version. Firstly I kinda don't like Rorschach's voicework here. Feels like a teenager doing a Dark Knight impression rather than someone with an actual raspy voice. There was a lot that was gained by having his death be shown during Rorschach's monolouge. It helps develop both the characters and delivers a little bit of payoff for the blood splattered streets shown at the start. By having the film already show this high action death scene near the intro, it kind of makes its reappearance less special.

I don't remember much about the movie outside of a few scenes (I snuck glances at it while my parents were watching it at an adult family friend birthday party) and while I appreciate it for making me curious about Watchmen and eventually guiding me towards the comic, I don't think I'll watch it anytime soon. I'd rather try out the prequel comic or the tv series after I'm done with Watchmen.

I've seriously been loving this book, I've been taking my time with it in between buying copies of Blood On The Tracks and it has done nothing but impress me.

After the heartbreak of killing Arianna in my first playthrough I'd make sure to get the final umbilical cord from clinic. However a part of me believes that this isn't mercy. Now Arianna will be forced to raise a monster child she never wanted, a child that will feel the resentment of its mother and a mother that may forever resent the child and its kin.

Maybe, maybe there is a chance they end up living a decent life; and that the baby would be raised in better conditions than expected. Maybe Arianna heals a bit from her pain and finds a new sort of happiness.

This is Bloodborne however, and happy endings are almost unreachable...maybe the true mercy is killing both Iosefka's doppelganger and Arianna along with both their children.

At least with Fake Iosefka you know the child will be raised to become an unfeeling creature.

If you can share this around or donate that'd be incredibly helpful. My living situation is being effected by this phone debt I'm carrying and I am unable to find any sort of work or basic gigs because of it. My roommate is threatening to kick me out over it so please if you have anything please.

I live in East Boston Massachusetts, the ways to help are by sharing and donating through online methods. You could also visit me if you live nearby. Thank you.
