Wow. You guys have been busy. It took a long time to go through all those forum topics and reviews. That's why this is going up Sunday instead of Saturday. Don't be alarmed if that happens again in the future, but I'll always try to have it up on Saturday. 
 
A few changes to the format this week. I'm now picking noteworthy topics as well as blogs. I've also included next week's releases in case anyone wants to investigate them before release. To top it off, another emblem category was added: wiki points. The wiki is very important to the site so I felt it needed to be shown as well. You may also have noticed I don't have the emblem for quest levels 10-19 complete yet, but that should be fixed by next week. 
 
Now on to personal stuff. I have the photo of my Tron controllers as promised. Bask in their glory: 

All done? Have a second take if you need to. The orange controller was the rare one with only 250 made, so it was obviously more expensive. I managed to get both for reasonable prices on eBay though. I'm also waiting on my Back to the Future Trilogy box set to come in from eBay so I can watch them before playing the Telltale game. 
 
I didn't play any games during the work week at home, but I did manage to play some Windows Phone 7 games on Xbox Live. I may may post some impressions or reviews in the future. Today, I finished Dragon Age: Origins and the Witch Hunt DLC. I really enjoyed the last hour of the main game but I was a little bit disappointed by the ending just being text. The end of Witch Hunt gave me a little bit of comfort, but I still think it ended very abruptly and poorly overall. I'll move on to the other DLC next week. 
 
I've been watching the DC Universe Online coverage from several sources and I'm really interested in the game. However, I have never "subscribed" to a game and I'm still not keen on the idea. So, I'm waiting for Champions Online to go free-to-play and I'll try it out. If nothing else, I usually dick around in character creators for hours. Be sure to check out GB user Matt's videos of DC Universe Online (linked above). 
 
That's pretty much it for now. Again, feel free to give suggestions and constructive criticism about the Weekly Feed. I'm still working on improvements on my end though, so expect it to keep coming bigger and better. 
 
Update: Quest emblem is entered now.
