What did I do during my week-long vacation? Nothing much, but itās the topic that will kick off tonightās open thread in which we smarmily question āHow is this news?ā
My days off from Kotakuāminus having to write up a Castlevania: Lords of Shadow review and field a few calls from EIC Brian Crecenteāwere uneventful by design. Sure, I put in a solid three hours watching Avatar for the first time and helped throw an outdoor game night at Giant Robot in LA, but I was delightfully unproductive. Thatās something I could get used to. So, please, your PayPal donations to ensure that Iāll never have to work again are appreciated.
Enough about what I didnāt do this past week. Letās talk about you. Or these things. Or whatever.
Coachelleta ā Awesome tilt-shift video from this guy. These freak me out.
Obamaās to appear on Mythbusters ā To re-test Archimedesā ray, not dispel Birther conspiracies.
NY Times on the deflation of Japan ā A fairly grim economic picture of the nation.
io9ās spoiler-free review of the first two episodes of The Walking Dead ā I wish I had cable!
Peter Jackson starts filming the Hobbit in February ā Canāt wait!
