Greetings Kotaku-eers, and welcome to a mid-week open thread. I hope you have had a good week, and are not too stressed about upcoming holiday travel. Just remember: theyâre only in-laws. They canât legally kill you.
Here are some conversation-starters and other random bits and bobs from the internet:

Some incredible guitar playing from Botsuana â Goes to show, accepted technique doesnât always lead to the best music!

Hugely respected (by me) TV Critic Alan Sepinwall lists the best 10 returning shows of 2011 â What a list! Especially #1. Also, watch Justified if you donât, itâs a hoot.
Chris Pratt is talking about being in Hurt Locker director Kathryn Bigelowâs next film â Speaking of Parks & Recreation, and awesome things.
