It's the weekend, and I'm glad it's here.

There isn't anything special going on, so it'll be nice and relaxing. There's only one movie that's worth seeing this weekend — The Hunger Games — and we already saw it earlier this week in an advance premiere. While it's a good action movie, I'm not quite sure what all the fuss is about. It's already broken all sorts of records although it's only been out for 24 hours. It's not like the idea of a televised manhunt is new (The Running Man, Surviving the Game), but this has teenagers beating each other to a bloody pulp instead.

At any rate, later today, the FireFall beta will be up again for a few hours, so it'll be nice to get into that now that phase one of the Ghost Recon Online beta has ended.

There's a new teaser out for Joss Whedon's The Avengers movie, and yes that means it's an advertisement for an advertisement. Whedon also revealed that there will be no Spider-Man cameo in the movie, which suits me just fine.

A new trailer for The Cold Light of Day looks quite interesting, starring Bruce Willis, Sigourney Weaver, and the new Man of Steel himself, Henry Cavill. I'll be keeping an eye out for that one later this year.

We got ourselves a new fryer and we may give it a test run this weekend to see if the charcoal filter actually works. Then maybe the house won't smell like fries for two days afterward.

Been itching to try out Bulletstorm, so I'll be checking that out in a little bit. It's been getting good feedback, and I enjoyed the carnage when I was able to get some hands-on time a few months back. Then, of course, there is also the Mytheon open beta and the Nail'd and Dragon Age II demos to consider. Lots of love for PC gamers yesterday ...
