I don't like to — indeed, I don't think I actually have before — but I've just given up on one of the current strips. I read through its last (half-)run and didn't enjoy it, it's just a pointless chore, so I'm just not gonna read the rest of it. Not ideal — it makes a fifth of each issue a waste of space and money — but at least I'm not also wasting my time on it.

Collection Count

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

After last week's epic, this week is almost the polar opposite: just one new addition. But it is time for the monthly running time update!

Number of titles in collection: 3,272 [up 1]
Of which DVDs: 1,005 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,267 [up 1]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 344 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 7,945 [up 1]
Number of films: 4,032 [up 1]
Number of additional cuts: 375 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,691 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,129 [no change]

Now, here's a funny one: despite the mass of new additions, the running time has gone down. What?! To be honest, I don't understand either. Did I do some maths wrong? Possibly. There were some upgrades this past month, so maybe that's fucked with things too. But to lose over two whole days... Yeah, worried this has gone wrong somewhere down the line. (Of course, it could've been wrong before and this is the course-correct. Let's hope it's that.)

Total running time of collection (approx.):
553 days, 6 hours, and 39 minutes.
(Down 2 days, 9 hours, and 32 minutes from last month.)

See you next week, faithful reader.
