It's a new year, and a new chance for opportunity.

Mass Effect 2 drops this month, with Bioshock 2, Red Dead Redemption, Alan Wake, and Metro 2033 all on the near horizon. The economy is making people healthier (no money for Big Macs!) anonymous comedians are as cool as ever (funny!) scientists are making breakthroughs in memory retention (probably undesirable for those who follow the Sharks!), the health care bill is coming to fruition (politics!), and children are causing mischief (strippers!).

Lots to talk about it, lots to discuss.
