We are now a mere 47 hours away from exchanging our Dr. Seuss-inspired vows (it’s going to be super rad).  Our friend Ryan is officiating the ceremony, and he did a bang-up job of putting together a short ceremony that matches our personalities.    I’m still amazed at how smoothly things have been coming together.  The only stuff left is non-freakout stuff…all the big things are taken care of, paid for, and ready to go. 

I’m going to schedule a post to show up at the same time as the wedding (approx. 12 PM Eastern, this coming Saturday) so you can read along and picture us wearing expensive clothes.  Our honeymoon (which will play out locally here in Washington DC) will be fairly well documented, so there will be a ton of pictures and stories to tell when we get back.

I keep a countdown timer gadget on my secondary monitor, which is currently counting down the time until our wedding.  I remember when I first set it up, it said that there were 154 days left.  Now?  It says only four days.  There was apparently a LOT of beer left over from Brittnie’s Uncle’s wedding, so they are graciously donating a lot of that to us.  Other people are donating food items, other drinks, utensils, and lord knows what else.  I just wanted to take a moment and thank everyone that has been helping us out (not the least of which our friend who is graciously allowing us to use her home for the ceremony).  We really appreciate it, and couldn’t have done this without you.

A hint for anyone planning on getting married: keep it as simple as you possibly can.  We aren’t doing anything complicated and it’s still complicated

Slashfilm is reporting that Peter Weller (star of Robocop, Screamers, and many other great films) will be joining the cast of Dexter for the fifth season.  Between the fourth season cliffhanger ending and all the new talent, Season 5 is gearing up to be insane.

Slashfilm has a new batch of stills from the upcoming Tron Legacy.  I gotta admit, this thing looks like it’s going to be insane.  Beyond the fantastic retro-yet-modern visuals, Daft Punk’s soundtrack sounds like it will be equally amazing.  This is one remake that I am honestly excited for.  If you haven’t seen any of the trailers, I very highly recommend checking them out.

It’s no secret that I absolutely adored Etrian Odyssey.  Etrian Odyssey II was even better.  Now, the item you receive with a preorder of Etrian Odyssey III has been revealed…and holy crap is it awesome.  Art books are a normal thing to include with preorders, but this one doesn’t just cover Etrian Odyssey III…it covers the entire trilogy.  Even if you don’t own a Nintendo DS, it’s worth preording this game just for the art book.  Amazing stuff.

Kotaku has delved deep into the official Dragon Age 2 website, commenting on plot, gameplay differences, box art, and more.  Be sure to give their findings a look.  It’s no secret that I freakin’ LOVED Dragon Age, so it should come as no surprise for you to know that I can’t wait to waste away a couple of weeks on Dragon Age 2.

The upcoming Dell Streak, which is positioned somewhere between a smart phone and a tablet, has gotten manhandled by the folks over at Wired.  While the Streak isn’t really a product I’m interested in purchasing, I’m glad to see that Wired was rather impressed with it.

There are now officially less than 10 days until our wedding…which means things are getting pretty crazy around here.  There is still so much to take care of, like finalizing the music, finalizing food (although that is pretty much finished), getting the rest of the booze, etc etc.  As I’m sure you can imagine, as the day gets closer and closer, updates will be more scarce around here.  There is also the honeymoon (part of which shall be consumed by Super Mario Galaxy 2 co-op), in which exactly zero updates will be made to the site.  Once the whole wedding thing is over and life returns to “normal”, we’ll continue posting “normally”.

Also, since a portion of our honeymoon involves going on a ghost hunt, I hope to have some creepy stories/pictures when we get back!  And, naturally, our review of Super Mario Galaxy 2

Kotaku has word (via Gamerbytes) that, although touted as a Wii exclusive, the new NBA Jam might be coming to the 360 and the PS3 after all.  Apparently, the game has been in rated in Germany for both platforms.  While I would have no problem playing NBA Jam on a Wii, I’m glad that it’s looking like this classic franchise will be able to reach more gamers.

Back in the day, my brother and I spent dozens of hours fighting it out on the SNES while utilizing the “unlimited turbo” mode.  I cannot wait for another entry in the series.

Gizmodo has a short story up how an F-35 Lightning II receives its colors.  Lasers?  Paint?  State of the art plane?  Yes please!
