Give thanks for random bits and bytes

Good evening, everyone. I hope all of my American readers enjoyed their Thanksgiving today (should they celebrate it). I’ll admit, I’m getting to this kind of late tonight, since I was out at my grandmother’s house enjoying the customary turkey-and-biscuit dinner, so let me try to get this out of the way before I crash out tonight.

  • Today, the Dallas Cowboys hosted their annual Thanksgiving Day game against the Oakland Raiders. Now, being an Eagles fan, I’m supposed to “not like” the Cowboys and their posturing, but the Oakland Raiders’ ineptitude at the hands of an owner who doesn’t seem to know what he’s doing irk me much more realistically, so for once in the post-Deion Sanders era, I was actually glad to see a Cowboy win today.
  • I see that the PlayStation Network trotted out its usual weekly update on Tuesday this time, presumably in anticipation for the shortened work week. Too bad I hadn’t budgeted my money properly this pay period, so I wasn’t able to try out anything new…the PSP version of LittleBigPlanet is there and available for download. Fun stuff.
  • I don’t remember Arkanoid being this hard. Maybe it’s because I’ve been out of practice of Brekaout clones over the years, but Arkanoid Plus! is currently kicking me in the nuts. No problem, though. I will get straight to work on it, and Square Enix and Taito won’t get a single Wii point from me until I figure a way to get through all 31 levels. (The add-on scenario has an extra 61 levels, including a final boss battle. I don’t remember how many stages the original Arkanoid had, though.)
