Yes, it's that time of the year - President's Day long weekend off for the kids, which equates to my wife and kids going to my inlaws in Boston for the weekend.  Where I have to work Friday and Monday, I stay at home.  Soo....GAME ON! 

What will Balek be playing this weekend?  Easy answer - Bioshock 2.

Someone in Dunkin' Donuts corporate office has a brain.  I just found out they have introduced this 'DD Card'.  Looks like a gift card, can act like a gift card.  BUT, you can also register it to your account online and set up automatic refilling of the card.  Seeing that I A. hate to carry cash (I tend to spend it waaay too easily if I have it) and B. buy a coffee 5 days a week, this thing was just made for me.

Damnit.  I hate when my well laid plans start to crumble around me.  I just got a copy of Dragon Age: Origins from Goozex, and traded off a copy of MW2 for MAG.  I thought that would take care of my SP and MP games for a while now.  However...I'm thinking DAO might have to be shelved for a while.  Why?  This is why...

Subject says it all.  I'm going to be down the first week of March for a conference, and would like to know where to go, and just as importantly where NOT to go.  Dining, entertainment, etc.  Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

I loved the movie (see review below), but I can't in good conscience defend this as being anything but absolutely accurate.

Hype is a double-edged sword. While it serves the purpose to increase the pre-release popularity...or at least awareness...of your game, movie, or whatever, it also raises the bar which must be met for the product to be a success. For the theater releases of 2009, I don’t think there is any question which title has had the most hype generated for it, and rightfully so. After all, it did take up to a half a billion (that’s with a B!) according to The Times for James Cameron to bring us Avatar.
