I know I've said it before, but
wow, there sure are a lot of games coming out at the moment, and next month will be a real doozy with the likes of Dragon Age, Modern Warfare 2 and plenty of others. The ramp-up to the holiday season is always a good time to be a gamer.
One more day and it's the weekend again! Time sure flew by this week ... well, for me anyhow.
We have plans to hang out with some friends, but we also plan to check out
Paranormal Activity and/or
Boondock Saints II. We're especially looking forward to the latter; the sequel's been 10 years in the making, but we loved the first one, so this had better not disappoint.
Ah yes, and Friday means that it's Stargate Universe time!
