We didn't really get much done yesterday. We went out to brunch with some friends and varnished our patio table. Shortly thereafter, it started raining like crazy, and I'm talking about rain coming down in buckets, with some hail, thunder and lightning thrown in for good measure. Somebody was having a party up there ...

Later in the evening, we went to dinner with a friend and watched Due Date, which was quite funny.

The plan for today? Quite simple: do some grocery shopping and watch a ton of shows on the DVR.

With a fresh infusion of real world detail and blistering racing action, NASCAR The Game 2011 completely redefines what fans can expect from a NASCAR racing game.

Nail'd is truly a hellish ride. No other racing game has ever featured such differences in altitude! Only those who master daring jumps into unknown depths at ultimate top speeds stand a chance to win the challenging action races in nail'd.

Another awesome concert in the bag! Bad Religion's 30th anniversary tour was a blast, and even both opening acts were half decent. The show was sold out and the crowd went wild from start to finish with a massive mosh pit spanning half of the concert hall. Good stuff! All that aside, 30 years is quite an achievement when you consider that most bands these days can't even stay together for a few years without having "creative differences."

Good thing it's the weekend, so my hearing has a few days to recover. Too bad for the people we're going out with tomorrow. Guess I'll just have to smile, nod and pretend that I can hear the discussion.

• Making History II: The War of the World (PC)
• Star Sentinel Tactics (PC)

We will update this throughout the day when new announcements become available. Read more for details ...
