Where We Talk About One-Eyed Daruma

It’s that time. Time to close out a day of Kotaku with an open thread, where anything and everything can be discussed. Talk amongst yourselves, while I struggle to stay awake and finish StarCraft II.

See, today represents one of those rare days when I’m tired. I don’t really get tired unless I’m covering E3 or traveling to Tokyo or Germany and wearing 20 pounds of equipment on my back for 12 hours. But I taped an episode of Bonus Round at GameTrailers today. Having stayed up until 1 am playing StarCraft II and waking up at 6 am made for a sleepy day.

And now I’m rambling. Oh, also I wish I’d purchased one of those Kotobukiya Dark Phoenix figures at Comic-Con. Instead, I bought a cyclopian daruma for my desk. It’s non-sexy. I don’t think I’m allowed to own those anymore.
