March was admittedly not our happiest month ever, at least in terms of the topics we discussed. The month started off positively enough, winding down from a reviewing kick we'd been on since the end of February, but it wasn't long before reports of copyright infringement, business turmoil, and a lawsuit began to darken our doorstep, and adding insult to injury, I spent three whole days ragging on the happiest part of some gamers' childhoods.
If nothing else, we were reminded that Alex at least has a handle on current events, while most of my posts in March indicate that I'm hopelessly stuck in the past. Enjoy.
