Hey, look at that: a somewhat timely update to kick off the day. Feeling much better than last night, so I should be in the clear for the upcoming Thanksgiving festivities.
Is it just me, or are there way more video game sales going on than in previous years? It seems like every publisher, digital distribution place, or retail outlet is having some sort of sale going on. Of course, that's a good thing for people looking to pick up some bargains or titles they've been meaning to check out.
Didn't get to watch much last night. Scanned through a few episodes of Dancing With The Stars and my favorite new series, The Walking Dead.
