MOTD
This evening, we had plans to meet up with a friend for food & drinks, which unexpectedly got called off, resulting in us having nothing to do and nothing planned for dinner. The problem was easily solved. We went to Round Table to get a extra large pizza (King Arthur Supreme, tasty!) and plopped ourselves on the couch to catch up, and we watched Chuck, House and NCIS.
We attended a few press events over the past week, so pending embargoes, we will have new coverage (assets, preview, interviews) on White Knight Chronicles and Bad Company 2. Keep an eye out for that if either one of those titles is your cup of tea.
