It's the weekend, and I'm glad it's here.

There isn't anything special going on, so it'll be nice and relaxing.

It's not like the idea of a televised manhunt is new (The Running Man, Surviving the Game), but this has teenagers beating each other to a bloody pulp instead.

At any rate, later today, the FireFall beta will be up again for a few hours, so it'll be nice to get into that now that phase one of the Ghost Recon Online beta has ended.
