At least the falling tears make for a satisfying moderate rock beat as they splash upon my MacBook. Tomorrow, however, I'll break the seal on my copy of Rock Band, set it up, play, download some Metallica, break it down, transport it across town and attempt to work off thousands of calories with the Thanksgiving band. I'll also squeeze in a bit more time with Link's Crossbow Training, as several platinum medals still elude me, plus time with Medal of Honor Heroes 2.

For those not celebrating our lovely American holiday, feel free to let us know what's on your plate whenever you have a spare moment.

Well their special Black Friday-ish deal voting game is back, with a new twist. There are six rounds of products, and you get to vote on one from each round. Voters for the winning deal will be randomly selected to get that deal on purchase day. The first round consists of a Nintendo Wii for $79, a 40gb PlayStation 3 for $139, or an Xbox 360 Arcade system for $99. Right now the Wii is winning with a whopping 55%, so it looks like that will most likely be the deal come buying day. Can you imagine not only getting the hardest to find console for Christmas for $170 below retail? Do dream it - be it. Hit the link below and vote!

I have this odd bunny fixation going on in the first place, and then the ability to hammer-throw a cow for points seals the deal. Game Videos has posted the latest in the addictive 'Bunnies Very Useful Scientific Facts' ad series, this time with a Thanksgiving theme.



I have no idea what you're saying, so here's some bunnies with some turkeys on their heads. Michael Fahey
