We Got A German Here Who Wants To Die For His Country! Oblige Him!

by Rainier on Dec. 15, 2009 @ 12:00 a.m. PST | Filed under MOTD

We were going to decorate our Christmas tree today, but when we got up this morning, the tree had shifted to the side. It looks like I'll have to saw some branches off the bottom of the trunk so that it'll stand up properly in the tree holder.

There sure were a lot of trailers released yesterday, mainly new announcements from the 2009 Video Game Awards, so that was pretty cool to see. I suspect from here on out, things will quiet down as the holidays are approaching. Most titles that are meant to be on shelves for the shoppers are already there, so there's not much to do until early next year.

Time for some eggnog!
