Assorted goodies gotten:
Two trade paperbacks of one of the best manga out there: Blade of the Immortal. These two feature one of my favorite characters, Makie, the ex-lover of the series' antagonist and the deadliest fighter in Blade's universe. Since this is manga, she is naturally a beautiful, 90-lb., excessively submissive former prostitute. The latter two parts are annoying, but her story arc is pretty compelling, and again Samura Hiroaki proves that no one does action on the comic page like him.
Call of Duty 2, the sequel to one of the more popular WWII-themed first person shooter games out there. This is more in the nature of a graphics upgrade expansion pack than an actual sequel, unfortunately. The single-player campaign is (thusfar) also nowhere near as compelling or cinematic as the first Call of Duty, which stole liberally from Band of Brothers and Enemy at the Gates. If you're in the market for a good FPS, pick F.E.A.R. or Day of Defeat: Source.
