Arcane: League of Legends - A Review

There's less than two hours before the final between Argentina and France, so I'm puttering away time because I'm too nervous to do anything else.

Anyway, I watched Arcane: League of Legends (heretofore known as A:LoL) on a recommendation. The show has an extremely high rating and is hyped as "the best show based on a game", probably because League of Legends doesn't have much of a story and therefore the writers have a lot more freedom to not follow dumb game logic.

The short version: Go watch Tales of the Abyss anime if you want an actual good show based on a game. (Seriously, I challenge you not to cry by episode 25.)

The long version: Oh, boy, let's get into this thing.

( Nothing quite tells you where gaming narratives are at when you realize A:LoL is their example of a good show. )

Argentina are the World Champions!

I don't have words left. Just happiness.

I laugh in the face of anyone who continues to doubt the greatness that is Messi. Thank god this Argentina was able to deliver, even if they managed to squander their lead twice and drove the game to penalty shootout. But at least the game was finally, finally won.

So, I just gonna bask in the happiness until tomorrow. ¡Vamos!
