Another weekend over too soon! As planned, we did not get much done yesterday. Watched some Kitchen Nightmares, some Chuck and the second episodes of The Pacific, which was once more emotional and visceral at the same time.
I've got a slew of recent titles to check out, including Dragon Age, Aliens vs Predator and Mass Effect 2. I've just got to get around to actually pulling myself away from CrimeCraft.
Nothing major planned for this week, so we'll work on getting a few more interviews prepped, as well as a bunch of first looks at upcoming titles.
