Let's see...
After some discussion, I may be doing ARIN GW2 stuff on Saturday nights rather than Sunday - not a huge deal, especially given that it's usually just been running around and dealing with dailies anyway. Considering how empty Saturday evenings have been in the absence of WoW, though, it seems to work out fine. And it still leaves the earlier AW guild missions in the game for Sunday, though that's more late afternoon these days.
I'm always a little amazed when something I initially disregard on TV ends up grabbing me at some point. Avatar did that when I noticed the story arcs going beyond the moral-of-the-week episodes. Venture Brothers seemed like an old adventure cartoon, but deconstructed some of those tropes and spun out it's own impressive mythos. Adventure Time seemed overly childish, but caught my attention when I saw the rather tragic story behind the Ice King. Most recently, Rick and Morty seemed like a throw-away show until I noticed some genuinely solid sci-fi elements being put to really good use and built upon (others have elaborated more). It's nice finding these little gems.
I've started Dark Souls 2, and it already runs better than the first on PC, at least. It's a little hard to compare, and I think I'm still fairly early in the game, actually, so I'll reserve most comments for later.
