Critical Role
2x80 The Folding Halls [2nd half]
Happy Fun Ball, Part 2. It's neither as happy nor as fun without Twiggy, but it does make a change from all the Very Serious story threads the Nein have been pursuing for quite some time.

State of the Role: Campaign 3 Finale and What’s Next for 2025!
The latest update on Critical Role's status revealed (to no surprise to anyone who's been following things) that Campaign 3 ends next week. But then there's going to be a miniseries and such shenanigans, so the campaign wrap-up won't air until mid March — and who knows when Campaign 4 will start after that? (I presume they're saving that announcement for later, because various other things are tied up in it (which system will they play?!) and, well, this is quite enough news to be going on with.) So, maybe I'll have time to finish Campaign 2 before C4 after all... maybe...?

Collection Count

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

Nothing to add this week, because preorders are still on their way. Next week should be busier... and, actually, I've got another bulk US order on the way too, so it might be a pretty big'un.

In the meantime, this week it's time for the latest monthly running time update.

Number of titles in collection: 3,455 [no change]
Of which DVDs: 991 [no change]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,464 [no change]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 425 [no change]

Number of discs in collection: 8,329 [no change]
Number of films: 4,375 [no change]
Number of additional cuts: 430 [no change]
Number of TV episodes: 9,856 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,209 [no change]

Total running time of collection (approx.):
584 days, 18 hours, and 11 minutes.
(Up 1 day, 2 hours, and 1 minute from last month.)

See you next week, faithful reader.
