A fine time was had by all at yesterday's soiree. Well, for the most part, as
little Gunnar had a bodily function-intensive day, vomiting on the drive in, and
leaving a couple of presents that belonged under some other tree than a
Christmas tree. And of course, even with a bit of a coating of puke and crapping
a couple of times, no one seemed to hold it against him... If that puppy's life
was a sitcom, it would be called Everybody Loves Gunnar.

SiN Episodes Delay [December 17, 2005, 2:13 pm ET] - 105 Comments
Ritualistic
(thanks Shacknews) has
word that SiN Episodes is delayed. The
Game Overview on the SiN
Episodes Website now says the first installment in the episodic shooter
sequel is expected in early 2006. The previous release was "early fall 2005," so
with four days remaining in autumn, that horse was already out of the barn.
Meanwhile, the game will be shown off today at the
Cyberathlete
Professional League Winter Event (which by that same reckoning is actually a
few days early).

Well, today kicks off the extended holiday season for our extended family, with
the first of three get-togethers we will be attending. We will head over to my
dad's where we will exchange gifts, celebrate the season, and try not to get
into too much trouble for paying attention to the Giants game. Okay, that last
bit may not be part of everybody's agenda, but it is certainly part of mine... I
actually had the offer of tickets to today's game against the Chiefs, but this
scheduling conflict nixed that, so my presence will be one of my presents
(actually the windy Meadowlands can be so cold this time of year -- especially
after sundown -- that the life I saved may have been my own). Among other things,
I will get to see my little nieces today, and the doggies will get to play with
their Uncle Sparky, so an avuncular time should be had by all.
