Wow, what a warm day that was yesterday, and it's said to be even hotter today. Summer's over, and it seems the hottest days are yet to come. Weird.

Due to our drink-fest Saturday night, we did not get up until noon, which kind of messed up our schedule for the day (sorry, Adam), and we scrambled to get our dinner prepped.

Dead Rising 2 is coming out this week, so I'll be checking the PC version when it arrives, and if there's some spare time, I'd love to have a look at Alien Breed 2. I've always loved the Team17 games.

Join an unlikely band of heroes as they take on the role of a Guardian, a winged warrior and protector of the owl world, in an epic story of good versus evil. Fans of the film and the Guardians of Ga'Hoole book series can customize and control their owl on a thrilling journey across mythic terrains. 

Ahh we started the weekend with good intentions and ended up doing almost nothing that we'd planned. No catching up on TV whatsoever. Not surprisingly, we ended up playing Vindictus and Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 all Saturday, only to leave the house to meet up with friends and toss back a bunch of beers.

Hopefully we'll get around to it today, but we also have to slow-cook a few racks of ribs for dinner.

Maybe in between peeling potatoes and making corn casserole, we can squeeze in some TV time.

Dragon Ball: Raging Blast 2 is the sequel to last year’s high-flying, fast-hitting, and intense versus battles series. Dragon Ball Z fans can rest assured that the destructible environment, and character trademark attacks and transformations will be true to the series.

We've had a weak summer so far, but it should heat up a little this weekend, and guess what? We're going to be spending it in front of the telly. Most of our TV series have restarted, and our DVR went from 40% to over 60% full. Last night, we watched Castle, Chuck, House, and we have Bones, Hell's Kitchen, NCIS and Fringe at bat for later today.

Gaming-wise, I've been really enjoying Vindictus, Nexon's upcoming MMORPG. It's still somewhat limited in its functionality, and one of the big features, guilds, seems to be disabled so the jury is still out, but it's certainly fun.

Bagel Friday is upon us! I could really use some coffee right now; the eyelids are so heavy!

We went to a Medal of Honor multiplayer press event last night and sort of walked away with mixed feelings. I'm a PC gamer, so it's all about the mouse & keyboard. I'm just no good at playing a shooter with a controller. In single-player, it doesn't matter so much, but once you get into the fast-paced multiplayer, it sure helps to be able to aim.

This weekend will be spent on the couch and catching up on all the new shows our trusty DVR has been recording.

Set 25 years after the events of the original game, Supreme Commander 2 begins with the assassination of the newly elected president of the Colonial Defense Coalition.
