    I find it a bit funny and strange that last week I found myself playing not one, but two games from Harmonix, having terrific play experiences with each.

    Great, a post about resolutions, just what everyone needs. Love ’em or hate ’em, the start of a new year is indeed the time to think about resolutions, things you’d like to try doing — or doing better — and for me it’s reading. Don’t get me wrong, I read constantly, but it’s usually limited…
