I got a call from my Dad that my step-grandmother is dead.  The ovarian cancer she had caught up with her.  It's a real shame.  I had only known her for 4 years but she always seemed interested in my life.  She was sweet, sharp as a tack, and very young spirited.  She always wanted to go out and have a good time and also had a knack for keeping my ( Read more... )

I have finally taken the time to review the jist of what has been unveiled during E3. I'm nothing short of perplexed. I just want to get my EGM so I have a hard copy that I can read.
