As if our sleep schedule weren't out of whack enough, we decided to go to sleep early and get a head start on the day, waking up at 6 a.m. Yea, we didn't mean THAT much of a head start, really.
Last night's episode of Stargate Universe was nothing spectacular, but next week's looks promising. So far, all of the new episodes have been set on the spaceship, while the new one seems off-world, albeit via a message of warning from their future selves. We also watched FlashForward, and the series has been surprisingly solid thus far, so let's just hope they don't get lost in their own intricacies, twists and turns, like Heroes and Lost have.
Next week sees the launch of what will probably be one of the biggest titles of the year, Modern Warfare 2. While PC gamers seem to have been given the shaft multiple times over, I'm still going to check it out, but I fully understand the frustration. Who would have thought that a developer who got big on the PC would backstab their most loyal fans this way?

The Medal of Honor franchise has been off the grid after the lukewarm reception of MoH: Airborne in 2007. That a new installment in the series is in the works has been hinted at a few times, with
EGM guesstimating that it may move from its WWII era setting into modern day Afghanistan. Giving further credence to that speculation is a
CV from former EA dev Micah Lapping-Carr, now working at Microsoft on Natal, who claims he worked on a "a Medal of Honor modern combat title" in 2008 (
thanks SA). No official announcements have been made by EA yet, but if a new title was worked on last year already, maybe we'll get word of it soon.
