Gaming News — February 14, 2008 — Happy Valentine’s Day! Edition

It’s Valentine’s Day!! I hope everyone who has a loved one had a good time and everyone who doesn’t (like me) got to get some free candy! I got a card from a girl I really like but have not really talked to saying she loved me! I don’t know what to do now except figure out what to do. So if you have any advice send it my way. Actually I don’t know if it really is her cause it only had her first name on it but she’s the only Amanda I know that would send me a card. Actually…she’s the only Amanda I know period. And she lives down the street from me! But yeah, I have a purpose for this post is Gaming News so let’s get to it! But please send advice!
