Absorbing a Compendium of Knowledge - AKA: Spending the Day With my Girlfriend While She's at Work

Today, as you can tell from my last post, I went to work with my girlfriend today. While she did her job, I sat in the cafe and read every magazine I usually follow month to month. So I went and got my stack from the magazine section, this is what I read today:

Discover
Popular Science
Popular Mechanics
Electronic Gaming Monthly
Some magazine about the entire Zelda series
Playstation Official Magazine
Maximum PC
PSM

Quite a lot of interesting stuff. Discover's Vital Signs article proved that being a doctor can be as dramatic as House MD makes us believe. The Zelda mag was fantastic, although I already knew everything in it. Cannot wait for the new Mortal Kombat, It's gonna be sick. I am officially saving for a PS3 for that, Assassin's Creed (The three that matter), MGS, and Little Big Planet 2. Check out the 2010 Dream Machine in Maximum PC, if you don't want to read the magazine it should be online soon. Lets put it this way:

Dream Machine System Specs:

CPU – 2x Xeon X5680 @ $3,326
MEM – 24GB Corsair Dominator @ $1,300

The rest of the magazines were utterly insignificant, sadly enough. Oh and on a side note, Other M looks like the first Metroid game on the Wii that won't suck.
