So my life is going pretty well. I'm slowly trudging through my thesis paper. I'm comparing Fight Club and Revolutionary Road to Conan the Barbarian. That's a rather loose take on my topic, but I'm too lazy to go into the fine details. I actually have some gaming news for once. I picked up Dead Space and Resistance 2 over the weekend and am loving them both. I'm waiting on Valkyria Chronicles simply because I don't have the cash and would like to finish FE: Radiant Dawn before I pick up another time consuming SRPG. Beyond that though, things are rather dull in Stew land. I can't complain really, I like it that way.

We have a little bit of staff and a little bit of fan to read this week. Firstly Mr. Jared Prewitt returns with a nice look at the benefits and consequences of milking RPG franchises. Meanwhile Nyx muses about why she enjoys what some might consider the lackluster Magical Starsign. Read em, respond to em, and write in folks! We love your participation. Have a good week everyone!
