Next update July 6<\/em><\/p>\n

Busy couple of weeks. The Mavs win the NBA finals – nice to see Dirk, Kidd and Marion get a championship. The Bruins take the Stanley Cup; not a huge hockey fan anymore, but it would have been nice to see the Cup in Canada again. C’est la vie. And the US Open starts tomorrow – nothing more fun than watching PGA tour pros shoot scores that I can hit on a good day. (Well, a REALLY good day.)<\/p>\n

But I doubt\u00a0folks come to my site for sports updates. So, what’s new in the world of books and games? Books… nothing new to report yet. Revan<\/a> is still coming out November 15 – click the link for\u00a0the (spoiler free) synopsis from the publisher. And remember: I’ll be at Comic Con<\/a> in San Diego at the end of July. I still don’t have any details about the trip, but hopefully we’ll be able to work in some kind of signing or special event to help promote the book.<\/p>\n

Big news in the world of video games, though. We just finished E3 2011<\/a>, and BioWare kicked serious ass. Star Wars: The Old Republic\u00a0<\/a>had a great shows; click on the\u00a0link for all the details. We also just announced some cool new Star Wars themed\u00a0peripherals<\/a> (keyboard and mouse for the techno-challenge) from Razer.<\/p>\n

Mass Effect 3<\/a> also had a great show; again just click on the link for the details. And here’s a cool little video from MSNBC<\/a> calling out both ME3 and SW:TOR for special recognition at E3.<\/p>\n

Finally, I figured I’d put up the link to BioWare TV<\/a>, a site that streams all sorts of cool BioWare related videos, interviews and game play demos.<\/p>\n

Wow – that’s a lot of links. Guess I’m done for this update. Note the date for the next update – 3 weeks from now, not 2.<\/p>\n

Why, you may ask? Simple – I’m going to Vegas, baby! But this time I’m not just going for fun; I’m actually scouting\u00a0for the Vegas 1\/2 Marathon<\/a>. They’re running it at night this time, so I have to get real familiar with the Strip so I don’t get lost.\u00a0That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.<\/p>\n
