September 12, 2014: Another gamer holiday? Sign me up! Today is National Video Games Day, not to be confused with plain old Video Games Day in July. Either way, I’ll play some Mario Kart or maybe some Borderlands 2 today. (Is anyone else out there as eager for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel as I am?)

It’s also Chocolate Milkshake Day, and if you’ve learned anything about me over this last year, you’ll know that I’d prefer vanilla a hundred times over chocolate. I mean, I wouldn’t kick a chocolate shake out of bed for eating crackers, but I’d be thinking about vanilla the whole time.
