A new week is upon us. I had a three-day weekend and I wasted much of it sleeping. I keep falling into a bad sleep cycle on weekends and I end up paying for it during the week. I need to convince myself that just because I don’t have to wake up early on the weekends doesn’t mean I should go to bed at impossible hours. I get caught up reading or watching stuff and before you know it, it’s 2am. My body wakes me up before 8am and the day is off to a crummy start. I’m going to try to break the cycle over the four day Easter weekend.
I reconnected with Wakfu over the weekend. Why? Because of the Krosmaster Arena Kickstarter project. The minis for the game looked so sweet I had to check out the online version. Krosmaster is set in the Wakfu universe, so once I was there it was a short jump back to Wakfu. I downloaded the many updates that had passed since last I’d played and tried out a new character. Then I hopped back into the Wakfu cartoon I downloaded (it hasn’t aired in North America) a while back. I read the “manga” I had bought and ordered some BDs.
I love the aesthetic of Wakfu. It’s a French creation with obvious anime influences. The names of many of the characters are delicious puns like Anna Tomy, Coa Gulary, Luk Ylook Oscar Kass (he’s a skeleton). There’s plenty of daft humor and the action sequences aren’t interminably long like the ones that plague many anime series.
This coming weekend is scheduled to be playtest #2 for the Age of Animus Roleplaying Game. I should have some more stuff to talk about on that front next week. Until then, have a great week everybody!
