The weekend was quite fun with friends stopping by for a new year's visit, lots of food, an equal amount of relaxing, watching movies (Super Size Me and Easy A), playing some video games and just lounging about.

Quite a bit of alcohol consumed over the past few days, and while we'll be on bread & water for the rest of the week, next weekend our friend Paul is flying in from Wisconsin, whom we haven't seen in quite a few months. He also happens to be a beer fan. Trouble ahead!

Next weekend, we may see Season of the Witch or The Green Hornet, or maybe both. Not quite sure yet.

Torchlight is an adventure-themed action-MMORPG which emphasizes a simple and intuitive interface, fast and furious action, and a colorful and compelling game world.

Formed by Benoît Sokal, French developer White Birds Productions, known for such adventures games a Sinking Island, Nikopol, Paradise and others, shut down late 2010 after several months of financial troubles, mainly caused by an important unpaid/canceled project, according to co-founder Michel Bams. Formed in 2003, White Birds Productions recently successfully released Criminology and Babel Rising on iPhone, but the damage had already been done.

We had a few friends drop by last night, so we whipped up some food. A few bottles of wine later, we booted them out the door and the snooze fest started. That pretty much sums up our evening ...

Prior to that, we did some errands, watched Killers (average action/comedy movie with Ashton Kutcher, Tom Selleck, and Katherine Heigl) and bummed around the house for rest of the day — pretty much what we're about to do now.

In Crysis 2, New York is under the attack of a unique and frightening alien species that combines deadly weaponry, exceptional sensory abilities and intelligent collaboration to present players with the most challenging opponents ever seen in a first-person shooter.

Another day, another batch of game trailers was released. Instead of giving them all their own posts, we grouped them, and so far there are trailers for:

• Bulletstorm [ALL] - Bulletpoints Trailer #2

We will update this throughout the day when new trailers become available. Read more for download links ...

Elemental: War of Magic is set in a world filled with magic and ancient lore. As the ruler of your kingdom, you must expand your empire through a combination of magical power, military might, diplomatic skill, technological advancement and bold adventuring.

God Eater Burst, an enhanced edition of God Eater (which is now canceled) with new modifications, enhanced gameplay, additional content and features, re-imagines the post-apocalyptic world with an original and dramatic story of human survival against overwhelming odds.

I watched "The Road" in three segments, but I managed to finish it. It wasn't a bad movie by any means, but it lacked much of a story. It's set in postapocalyptic times, and you wonder who and what caused it, but like the book that it's based on, that's never explained. Oh well ....

Made an emergency trip to my least favorite place, the dentist's office, but luckily, he was able to spackle me up and send me on my way. The tooth feels better than it did this morning, and that's definitely a relief!

SOE Austin has built a world where you feel like you've stepped into the DC Universe and become the ultimate super-hero (or villain) along side of Superman, Batman, or Ambush Bug.
