Which apparently is around about the last time I updated this blog, a move which was not entirely intentional – I could have sworn that I’d updated just a couple of weeks ago, but I guess I’ve been consistently telling myself that for the best part of the last month. Whoops.
Also, the amusing not-actually-irony of someone who seems to have conceptual issues with iM@S pointing out that I’ve not updated recently isn’t entirely lost on me.

It is also unclear as to whether the Mikan contained within the box are as bodacious as the pirates who stand upon them (though, saying that, I rather suspect that Mr. Show fulfils a large percentage of the shows quotient of bodaciousness, rather than the pirates themselves).
After being rumoured for at least the last couple of weeks, iDOLM@STER: Live in SLOT! was announced yesterday (PV here for the curious complete with new song, We Have A Dream).
Live in SLOT, aside from being a pretty stupid sounding title, is a pachislot game. Basically (as is my understanding, at least), it’s a slot machine on which a game also runs on a video screen at the top of the cabinet. The reels on the cabinet are essentially the randomisation element of the game – an event plays on the game screen, and the result is determined by what comes up on the reels. Whilst I gather at least some of these machines have some limited player control over the stopping of the reels, in generally, like all slot machines, they’re designed so that the establishment ultimately takes as much of your money away from you as possible.

I can’t really say I have anything in particular to say about the show, which is becoming all too common in these posts – in this case, it’s because I’ve only watched the first episode, and given that was four weeks ago now I can no longer remember any particular reaction I had to the show (which I suppose is reflective on the show itself, in a sense). There are plenty of higher priority things to be watching, and between that, excursions, internet outages and other recent timesinks, it’s not really been something I’ve been in a hurry to watch more of. I’ve not seen mainline Naruto in years either (I’ve not seen, nor read, any of Shippuden), so there’s also the concern that most of the humour, or at least the more injokey elements, would fly way over my head.
(The iM@S news for the day, lest people worry I’m slipping in that regard, is the announcement of the second character for the second series of the Cinderella Girls CDs, which I don’t really have any specific comment on either. I’m quite sure that, as a series, the upcoming regular churn of these CDs exist purely to dissuade those who may be tempted to divert their towards playing iMac. Or perhaps not).
