No, it's just that there were so many to choose from I couldn't make up my mind.

Review of "Firewall" is in the queue.

I should have a review of "Eight Below" up by Friday.

V-Day Nerdery is in.

Yay. Some good stuff this week. I've been looking forward to 42's V-day column. Plus, I've been very curious about Ford's new movie.
Lord Ruler and Lady Protractor were off on vacation, thus the angles running amok.

Geek Girl is in, but I messed up the title.  

The title should read: The Geek Girl's Survival Guide #8

And the subtitle should read: A Geek Girl's Guide to Being the Damsel in Distress

Sorry! ;D

And I've just reread the column and it needs the following corrections.  (Since it's so late I don't know if it'll get proofread.  

"Still, I’m often taken BY surprise by chivalry."

"And what’s more, I have a group of protectors"

And then the sentence that starts

"Honestly, how sincere can you be about an apology"

doesn't actually end--whoops.  It should read "for something that you persist in doing--with no further signs of remorse."

Sorry!  I was kind of in a hurry.

Posted and edited.

just an FYI, on the message board we use square brackets []
but in HTML we use angle brackets <> for the tags.

Winter Assault review up. I can give you screenshots if you want. Also, the screenshots from the DoW review have gone down, probably due to SE changing hosts.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)

Darwinia review up. Hooray 3 in a day, time to hibernate.

I've got a .zip file with screenshots and box art (the box art being for the blurb on the frontpage, like we do for films) for all 3 reviews sitting around. Ask and ye shall recieve.
