Batman Arkham Asylum 2: And I haven't even played the first one yet! Mark Hamil is in it again, so I have no excuse.

Halo Reach: New Halo game, this time a prequel. And yes, Halos never truly die.

Crackdown 2: Playing the crap out of the first game in anticipation of 2. Gotta get all those agility orbs; they're like crack.

Video of the Robotic weapon is below in all its paint shooting glory:

First group I got introduced to was SNSD aka Girls' Generation, more specifically their music video for the single "GEE".  The bubble gum tune pretty much hooked me in from the start but the fact that the group is nine cute girls strong doesn't hurt, either.  After tearing myself away that music video, the next one, "Genie", pulled me back in.

Next group to catch my eye was Wondergirls. Surprisingly enough, they've just made thier debut in the US and so far are making waves on the charts.  Their signature song thus far is "Nobody" which features the girls in a sixties-esque atire:

Last on the list are a group I started listening to recently, the Brown Eyed girls.  They've just re-imagined themselves and so far me likey.  "Abracadabra" is most definitely magic in my eyes:

As we wait for the chapter to officially come out, a few friends and I over at the Unofficial One Piece Podcast have done some speculation on the matter. Feel free to leave comments on Youtube or the site:
