Another weekend flew by, so it's back to the grind.
We have a few more interviews lined up for you this week: Black Ops and Fable III to name a few, so if you fancy any of those titles, tune in later.
Played some Puzzle Quest 2, installed RUSE (haven't tried it yet), some StarCraft II (mostly co-op) and I'm trying to finish off Wolfenstein ASAP, so I can delete it and free up some space on my hard drives.
We watched some Entourage, Psych, Justified, and
Hot Tub Time Machine, which, despite the ridiculous-looking trailers, was actually fairly decent.

The pineapple cream cheese was a success yesterday morning. Very tasty! If you are looking for a new flavor, we can definitely recommend that one.
Halo: Reach Limited Edition just arrived, so I will be checking that out later today. Not a super huge Halo fan, but I've played every title in the franchise so far. Too bad there haven't been any PC ports since the abysmal Halo 2.
No big plans for the weekend. Catching up on some news stragglers, watching some more Dexter, and probably watching Resident Evil: Afterlife and/or Going The Distance.
