We've Done the Impossible, and That Makes Us Mighty

by Rainier on Sept. 16, 2009 @ 12:00 a.m. PDT | Filed under MOTD

A little bit of excitement at the end of the day with Microsoft announcing a 250GB Elite Modern Warfare 2 bundle, and all nicely painted. Might have to get one of those suckers ....

Apart from that, the day was pretty uneventful on my end, mostly work. Adam called in with a bit of good news. Apparently we got a call back from Nathan Fillion's publicist, and we are going to do an interview later this week. For the uninitiated, Fillion is an actor who's best known as Capt. Mal Reynolds in the "Firefly" TV series and "Serenity" movie. He's currently starring as crime novel writer Richard Castle in the ABC series, "Castle," but more importantly for us gamers, he's voicing Buck in Halo 3: ODST. Since we're big Firefly fans (as evidenced by the title of this post), we were very excited by this news, so check back in a few days for the end result.
