US News Wrap, September 21 - What Happened Today
Hey all, it's me again with my shift wrap. Time to get you caught up.
Not a whole lot happened today, as I suspect most industry folks are traveling to London for the EG Expo. I know Johnny, Pat, and Stace are, along with the majority of the European and UK press. So, we'll blame the slow-news drudgery on it whether that be the case or not.
Anyway, enjoy the Depeche Mode header. They are probably my most favorite band ever next to Led Zeppelin.

Even if Anya was a toothpick, I bet she could still kick your ass at arm wrestling.

If this is true, it's pretty damned hilarious.
Sad Yoshi is sad.
