Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, my geeky friends. I hope your holiday season is filled with magic and shiny things that make most excellent whirring noises. I’m off again to Chicago for the holidays, but don’t worry - I’ll be back in a few days. No super long hiatus, no writer’s strike here. We’ll be back again next week with more geeky goodness. In the meantime, there’s some serious trailer goodness below.

If you haven’t seen the Force Unleashed trailer yet, I demand you set aside a few minutes. This game could either be one of the most amazing things I’ve ever played, or completely dash my hopes and dreams. Given Lucasarts’s track record, I hate being optimistic - but the trailer is seriously that good. Check it out.

I can’t leave you people alone for six weeks without everything going to hell. Sheesh.

Japan was amazing. Give me a hostage, and I’ll babble your ear off about it for hours - and in this show, I do. I’ll have lots more pictures and stories to tell about my experiences in the coming weeks, as I ease back into the real world and get myself organized. So stay tuned for that. Today we also get reacquainted with that whole doing a podcast thing. Check it out.
