Sorry the news is so slow today. I've either got the Flu or something that just makes me feel like I was hit by a truck...then dragged down a sewer system, then punched in the teeth and made to drink gasoline.

Anyway, I think I'm going to go take a shower.

Recipe for no sleep: A hotel room with a 3-year old and a 10-month old.

Night one: 10 month-old Son wakes up at 1:45 because of whatever and won't go back to bed until fed (probably a strange place made him uneasy). He wakes up the entire room, mom feeds him, but now daughter is awake. He finally falls asleep and daughter starts crying which wakes up the wee one again. Probably get to bed around 2:30.

Son wakes up again at 7:00, this time we're all awake...

I know a few of you have sent me messages today, and received no response from me - that is because my mailbox is broken for some reason.

So if you sent me a message and I've not responded it is not because I'm ignoring you, I just don't see the messages. Perhaps they'll bounce back to you eventually (usually it takes 3 days). I'm not sure what the issue is but its definately broken.

Update: DSmooth is looking at it, still no workie though...

Heading up to "StoryLand" in upper NH (near S'greth hometown) and that means I probably won't be around to find any news updates for the homepage. So, if your wondering why it seems so dry, I apologize up front.

Wish me luck, its a kids heaven... and I'm not a kid...

For those of you interested, I'd like to here your thought some some upcoming magazine themes. This month has a little theme dealing with developer/designers and history on some of the popular ones. Last issue was all about puzzle games and educational gaming, a few months prior we did a spot on the history of gaming.

Anything you guys would like to see as the primary focus for any upcoming issues?

It seems my little writing contest has caused 2old2play some server stress over the last few days. Overall, I think the reception is great on our latest articles (article #2 hit the homepage on digg a bit ago).

Folks,

It's that time of month again folks! I've got very little of the content I've got scheduled for this issue.  I hope ya'll were just waiting until the last minute :)

Yeah, that looks awesome. I bet it has less bugs than the 360 version... ;-)
