The Network Round-Up: I Am In Control Day
Ready to get some history laid one you? In 1981 on this day President Reagan was shot. While he was in the hospital then Secretary of State Alexander Haig uttered the words "I am in control here." The media took off with it and Haig was forced to step despite the fact that his words were not shocking at all in the context of what he was saying. Thus I Am In Control Day was born. Haig is mostly forgotten, but supposedly this day has evolved to be about taking control of life and getting organized. I on the other hand have decided it actually means it's time to launch my mind control device. World domination here I come. Step one: have everyone read these posts. Flixist Reviews: Wrath of the Titans, Goon, Intruders, Pirates! in an Adventure with Scientists Destructoid Talking Star Trek and Smash Bros. with Hideo Kojima. I'm pretty sure those three things together give any proud nerd an orgasm. Japanator JapanaTOUR takes a look at Kyoto. One of my favorite spots I went to in Japan. Did you know?
