Will Power Prevails
While wandering around Bloor this afternoon running errands in preparation for the impending trip to Europe, I came across a new GameStop branch that hadn’t been there a month ago. We wandered in and I was confronted with a couple of staff members already playing Killzone 2 (the PS3 “Halo-Killer”) that should not actually be [...]
The Usual
Wandered around Chinatown picking up a few gifts for the impending trip to Europe, and then wandered back with Tropic Thunder as a new addition to the Blu-Ray collection.

It’s currently the best looking game on any console, and it’s [...]
Oh. Right. The Love-Dovey.

Back To Normal
With the Wife finally feeling a little better we actually went out and did normal stuff, such as groceries, meeting with friends, eating on Bloor and visiting the Evil, Evil Bookstore, where I picked up The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray.
Once I watch it, I can finally stop being the last Canadian in the country who [...]
Recovery Process
The Wife is feeling better, but this seems secondary to beating Persona 4

Taking in the sights and trying to decide how I feel about this place. Proper work starts tomorrow.
