Glad that the week is finally winding down. Yesterday was a pretty good news day, with
Sony announcing a 250GB PlayStation 3. We also posted our
Dark Void preview based on our hands-on time with the preview build. Definitely excited about that one, since Crimson Skies was one of my favorite Xbox games.
Watched episodes of NCIS, Criminal Minds and Sons of Anarchy, and we got halfway through
Next Day Air, a comedy about a parcel delivery driver who mistakenly delivers a very important box to the wrong apartment. Hijinks ensue. I only wanted to see this movie because I like Mos Def's acting, but this was another instance where the trailer made the movie look hilarious. It's pretty mediocre so far, and Donald Faison (from "Scrubs") is definitely wasted here.
