Can't think. Head fluffy. Lymph nodes sore. Throat stinging. Shoulders ache. You did want to know that, didn't you? Excellent. In that case, you may look inside my head:

If the bubblicious Ark Hotel were ever built, it would prove beyond all doubt that the world is completely and utterly brilliant and everything in it is absolutely perfect.

'Can' frontman Damo Suzuki rocks out with Dead Sea Apes. Yes, he's still verging on incomprehensible but yes, he's still got it.

A selection of lewd pranks and shamings from 17th Century London. There are no rude pictures and it's all very tame but only you know how cruel your workplace is.

One Night in Bangkok makes a hard man humble.

Is Bruce Wayne only a mask Batman wears? Of course not. Don't be daft.

The latest and greatest TF2 version of a pop song. This time, the Scout and Pyro sing 'Love The Way You Lie' by Eminem and Rihanna. Quite splendid.

Go on, now. Do a Thursday. Hop to it.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/47780/

Also Dead Space 1 is the weekend deal for 66% off ($6.80) but if you pre-order DS2 they cut that down to 75% off ($5)

    srsly, Shogun 2 http://store.steampowered.com/app/34330/ is listed at $50 and I'll spend playing it 100x longer than Dead Space2; on the positive side of $60 games is that it just makes easier to wait for a Steam Sale
