Man, I ate so much turkey that I've been stuffed for hours, and I haven't even had dessert yet (cupcakes and eggnog cheesecake!). What a dilemma...
Didn't go out for any "deal" hunting, but the rest of the family is out and about hitting the various electronics and clothing stores. Maybe I'll scope out something later today, or wait until Cyber Monday, so I can check things from the comfort of my office without having to stand in line for hours.
What's up Ubisoft's ass these days? No
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier or
I Am Alive on PC, and execs blaming piracy. There are tons of PC titles that sell millions of copies such as Modern Warfare, Skyrim, Battlefield 3, not to mention indie gems like Minecraft, yet these guys make it sound like only Ubisoft titles get pirated. How about you first fix your crippling DRM issues and then do some research on what these other guys are doing that you can't get right?!

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so you can expect news to slow down for the rest of the week since lots of people will be traveling to meet up with friends and relatives. We'll be driving a few hours south to sister-in-law's place for the family gathering. We'll be stuffing the turkey and then stuffing ourselves. There's also promise of a BBQ, so that alone merits the trip.
We've been making good headway on the DVR, helped by the fact that a lot of the shows are going on winter hiatus. Last night, we watched Castle, NCIS and Sons of Anarchy, which had an expected (but still shocking) ending.
Time to charge the laptop and sync the iPod.
