January 21, 2013 is GONE. GONE I say. And here's another Late Night Computing as its eulogy.

Here's to another disappearing Monday. Did anyone partake in the double XP weekend for MechWarrior Online? Most of my Saturday and Sunday play time went into purchasing upgrades for my Atlas and Centurion variations, since they're the two I seem to play the least. Now I have an embarrassment of riches on the XP side of things, but extremely few C-bills to purchase equipment with. Maybe this weekend should be a double C-bill weekend? What do you say, Piranha?

• "MONDAY DISCUSSION Timeless Videogames. Last week we talked about being an adult with a passion for videogames and the affect that has on your schedule. Disclosures: For the sake of this discussion, when I say 'timeless videogames' I mean games you can pick up generations later and its still fun to you, still looks great, and you can most likely beat it. And by 'generations later' I mean an Xbox game being all of these things, even though we're in the Xbox 360 generation. Or an NES generation game being timeless to you while we're in the PS3/Xbox360 generation." [by eonix]

• "You guys were right. Journey would probably have gotten my GOTY vote had I played it earlier. There are so many stories I want to tell about how my interactions with my buddy went but I bet I would just be repeating what everyone else has already experienced. It was nothing short of breathtaking almost every step of the way." [by OverloadUT]
