Happy New Year!!!

    Had a wonderful New Year's Day with my beloved Effie yesterday! I've never had such a good time, with love and warmth all around us. It was fun watching my gal go online to RPG. It was an awesome thing listening to her describe getting together to play, how important teamwork is. We really are made for each other, lol!

    Just a quick mention on today's featured vid: It's awesome. The editing is amazing, making the game footage look like an action movie trailer. I usually like straight gameplay vids, but this one is just too cool to miss. Check it out. Moving on...
