Adam was lucky enough to have watched
Real Steel earlier this week. Since we've been meaning to see it, we're heading out to the theater tonight to check it out.
We've accumulated a nice backlog on the DVR again, so since we have no other specific plans this weekend (aside from lunch with friends on Sunday), we're going to make a dent in that.
Maybe I'll even get to check out Rage. For some reason, it's not showing up in my Steam account! What's up with that?!

In battle, the strong wins and not necessarily the right. In battle, the last man standing is right. If this is true, what is need for heroes is not righteousness but strength.

The
Rage reviews seem to be all over the place, making me want to check it out for myself today. A lot of people don't seem to agree with the high scores, which happen to be from "early" reviews. Makes you wonder ... Sanford is slogging through our copy, probably wrap it up tomorrow, and by that time, I'll be able to pitch in as well. In the meantime, check our interview with
id Software president Todd Hollenshead.
Our war in
Stronghold Kingdoms is in its third week, and we seem to be gaining the upper hand. We opened a second front, flanking the enemy from the side, which divided its resources and gave us some momentum. This started because one of our allies had been getting railroaded, but with us declaring war on the same house, it took pressure off them and they've regained most of the ground they had lost.
