    I think he summed it up pretty darn good. No biases or anything.

    This could be a TED talk.

    Watching it made me want to fire up an FPS and start mulching, but I really suck at them. :D

    Okay, so I'm going to play CoD. Tomorrow I'm going to the range.

    In general, the content from "the escapist" is excellent.

    I especially like MovieBob (a fellow MAssachusetts native), Yahtzee, and the Extra Credits crew.
