Today, GamesCom in Germany starts, so there should be quite a bit of interesting news coming over the next few days, such as the Age of Empires Online announcement. That sure came out of left field.

We don't have any other special press trips on the books this week, but next week, there's something happening almost every day, so be on the look out for some preview coverage and interviews.

Last night, we watched Fanboys, and I managed to stay awake from start to finish. It was rather good, but the amount of cameos (such as Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Jason Mewes, Ray Park (Darth Maul), William Shatner, Kevin Smith and Billy Dee Williams) sure raised the quality level.
