Morning Discussion

Damn Friday, way to represent.

First, I wake up to a snow-covered winter wonderland and blue skies, which are much nicer than the grey overcast and its soggy "don't worry, I'll only freeze at night" rain.

And then, Tim Schafer's latest, Brutal Legends, finally gets a new publisher.

Plus we get the first in-game footage of BioWare's Star Wars: The Old Republic today.

In conclusion, Fri-to-the-day knows what is up. Let's keep the good times coming, eh?

Company holiday party downsized from a rented ballroom with band to catered Texas-style food in the basement of our new building, then downsized again to a fucking tent party in one of our parking lots, complete with folding chairs and outdoor heaters for the 45 degree afternoon.

I know times are rough but c'mon, we can afford a few grand for something.
