Sheriff Country 1.1 to 1.6 (2025) [/] Police procedural drama on CBS. Mickey Fox (Morena Baccarin) is the interim Sheriff of Edgewater County (a fictional county somewhere in Northern California I'm guessing) dealing with various crimes while running for Sheriff in the next election. Each episode tends to be a self-contained scenario but there are multi-episode plot lines (e.g. Mickey's recovering drug-addict daughter Skye [Amanda Arcuri] who is accused of murdering her boyfriend and that takes three or four episodes to resolve)... I like the concept and Baccarin playing the lead but this is kind of typical network show so far.
Octodad: Dadliest Catch+ (2023) [-] You are an octopus trying to live a human life. The game is about trying to do human things in a physics based environment where your controls are very unreliable. For example your first task is clearing a table of objects and you slide your finger to move your tentacle arm, which flops around and generally misses objets. Similarly grabbing a key and getting it to a lock is a frustrating exercise. Really not my game though possible better with a two-stick controller.
Vampi Omnibus v1 TPB (2012) [/] This is a compilation of Vampi #1/2, #1-18; Vampirella Manga 2999 Ashcan and Vampirella Manga 3000 Ashcan. The Ashcans are b/w that came before the regular series and are a different tone. Vampi the series is an anime version of Vampirella set in a cyberpunk Neo Tokyo. It's sexy and very gory and almost everyone other than Vampi ends up dead by the end of the big 18-issue arc. Good color art though the word text is often a bit off like it wasn't rendered right in PDF. I guess Vampi went 25 issues but there is no Omnibus v2 or similar.
