We did some quick errands, watched some Rescue Me, played some Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 and Nexon's upcoming RPG Vindictus.

I've been a big fan of the series so far, so that one is definitely high on my to-play list.

Musically, I've been digging Avenged Sevenfold, As I Lay Dying and some Five Finger Death Punch.
