How I Met Your Mother
1x09 The Pineapple Incident [2nd watch]
IMDb says this is episode 10, but it was definitely episode 9 where I watched it (and it was the same all those years ago when E4 aired it, too).

Passed the 150-hour mark today! I've been meaning to share an update of the image I posted at 73 hours, but for the moment, suffice to say most of those stats have not doubled. Heck, it's likely most of them haven't increased at all.

After last week's summary of business at 100Films.co.uk only featured the January review, this week it's time for its regular companion piece: my failures.





More next Sunday? Wonders never cease. But regular reviews on 100 Films might have.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

There's so much to do in Riften that, even after two hours today spent non-stop exploring, meeting characters, and completing quests, I feel like I'd barely started playing, because there's so much more just waiting to be done — and that's without even starting the major faction questline based in the city.

Collection Count

Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.

All new releases this week, including one title that I imported the DVD from Thailand many, many years ago because the special features were supposed to be better (or have any at all, really, which other editions didn't), but when it arrived it turned out because it was an older title the second disc was out of print, so it was just an extras-free single-disc... and now it goes from that experience to a Criterion 4K! (It's Birth, by-the-way.)

Number of titles in collection: 3,666 [up 2]
Of which DVDs: 976 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,690 [up 3]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 504 [up 2]

Number of discs in collection: 8,803 [up 4]
Number of films: 4,703 [up 2]
Number of additional cuts: 483 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 10,192 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,280 [no change]

See you next week, faithful reader.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

Today, after I-don't-even-know-how-long of intending to, I finally entered Riften — my fourth of the ten cities I keep harping on about. Immediately got hit with half-a-dozen quests and I wasn't even trying, and I've only skimmed the surface of exploring the city (even with an hour's playtime dedicated to it today). Great game.
