The great time change is now upon us, hazah! For most that would mean an extra hour of sleep, but for me this means that it’s 6 a.m. and I’m steadily on my way to my third cup of coffee. The problem—if you can call it such—is that I awoke from one of those awful high school flashback dreams where you are running late for school and you haven’t even started your big homework project. Those dreams are too messed up to even consider going back to sleep. So, I get up, check the clock which reads 5:30-ish which sounds reasonable enough to me. I plod downstairs and turn on the coffee pot on my way to the office where I discover upon juicing up my mac that it is actually 4:30 (not 5:30) a.m.. Well, it’s too late now, the coffee’s on and besides all those people I’ve mentally suppressed are waiting to get me back in dreamland, so here I am…

I know one guy who is going to be super stoked to see this new in-game footage from Bioware’s upcoming sci-fi rpg Mass Effect, available November 20th on the Xbox 360 . The video is just a quick snippet of soldier class combat, but the graphics are super tasty and the combat controls look awesome.

The End Records artist Tub Ring have posted a couple videos from their recent appearance on Chicago’s JBTV.

Speaking of The End artists, Canadian prog metal band Unexpect appeared on Fox’s Fearless Music last night. They played Desert Urbania from their debut album In A Flesh Aquarium. Currently, the video is not available, since the show aired a mere six hours ago, but I will posted it — or a link to it—as soon as it is.
