Well, that's that with that. The holidays are over, so it's back to the grind.
Things will probably be quiet for a little bit longer, but normal coverage will now resume. Hope you have enjoyed our
Top Games of 2010 feature, and we are currently also having a
DC Universe Online beta key giveaway (for both PC and PS3 codes), which will be ending soon. Be sure to have a go at it.
Yesterday was pretty subdued. We ran some errands and watched TV for the rest of the day. We got sucked into the
Pillars of the Earth miniseries and two of the
Millennium Trilogy movies.

I agree with governor of Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell when
he stated that "we've become a nation of wusses," in response to the NFL league's decision to move the Eagles' home game against the Vikings from Sunday night to Tuesday evening due to the bad weather, but I already knew that a long time ago. Why else would you wear all that padding in a rugby game in the first place? ;)
