Thanksgiving is over, so we're all stuffed with turkey, corn casserole, stuffing, horseradish mashed potatoes, and eggnog cheesecake for dessert. Good stuff.
In a few hours, Black Friday begins, the biggest retail day of the year. Usually I don't even bother to wake up bright and early like all the other crazies, but I'm in the market for a new high-end video card for my gaming rig, so I'm going to brave the crowds to see if I can scoop one up.

Originally released for the Xbox in 2005,

Yesterday was a beautiful day in the area, another nice fall day that's cold but sunny. Perfect for walking to the store to get our groceries — especially since we sort of live uphill.
Doing some errands was the only excursion of the day, so we gamed a bit (yes, CrimeCraft) and watched some Bones, Heroes, FlashForward and Fringe. If we watch some more later today, we might actually catch up!
I've gotten House of the Dead Overkill and Darkside Chronicles ready to roll when my zapper laser guns arrive, and it won't even cost me a fortune in quarters! I also ordered a black Wiimote and Nunchuk, which should be here in a couple of weeks.

Today should be another glorious day for gamers! Plenty of new games should be in stores, including the hot hot hot Assassin's Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2 and Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles (lightgun game! *drool*).
We have a Capcom event to attend this evening to check out one of the new titles, so that should be fun.
If I have some spare time during the day, I'm going to try the
Avatar PC demo. I'm somewhat intrigued by the setting and lore, but at the same time, I'm afraid the overwhelming CGI will bring it all down. I hope I'm wrong because I do want to go see
the movie, as well as
2012,
A Christmas Carol,
Planet 51 and
The Road, to name a few.
