    We—we being myself and my lovely girlfriend—arrived at the convention a little before noonish on its second full day, after stumbling around town for a bit because neither of us, despite being level-headed, soon-to-be college graduated pseudo-adults, had thought to take note of where the convention was actually being held, just that it was being held in a hotel in Vienna, VA: a town that—we were quick to discover—actually has more than one hotel.

    I really want to go to bed right now. It's warm. I almost said that it's warm and inviting, but then I realized how cliched that sounds. So I decided to say that it's just warm. Have I mentioned yet that I'm a little tired? I'd like to go to bed, but I can't—not until this column is finished, at least. For I, absolutely not following my own advice, have waited until the absolute very last minute to crank this puppy (wtf, is that even a phrase) out.

    So I found myself wondering the other day why, exactly, I owned a copy of Tribes: Aerial Assault for PlayStation 2. I couldn’t come up with a reasonable justification.
