I spent almost all of the day eating delicious food, playing new video games, and reading new manga. (RACS shipment came in yesterday, while I was at work. Ordered Sunday night, shipped Tuesday, here Friday with free shipping, not too shabby!)

The only downside is my one emerging wisdom tooth, which looks like it's coming in at a funny angle; I'm going to go have to have it cut out, mos' likely...

Dawn of War II turns out to be quite enjoyable, assuming you're not bothered by the W40k ethos ("The enemy of my enemy is also my enemy and must be purged in the Emperor's name, along with anyone who disagrees with this statement", more or less.) Squad-level tactical rather than pure RTS, and your Space Marines are pretty beefy in a fight; my commander unit doesn't do much more than charge into crowds and start laying out with a power axe, more or less. Tactical options are a little flexible, but not THAT flexible - trying to level up evenly across the board will mean that you stink at everything, and specializing gives you some nifty features (commander unit plus enough points in melee weapons for "instant kill practically anything", "do AOE damage", and "gain health on kills" is quite broken in how powerful it is.) Levels are short and sweet, usually ending in some kind of "boss" kill, ranging from Orc warbosses (easy) to Eldar warp-wielders (not easy) to every beastie in the Tyranid arsenal (medium to ultra-nightmare mode).
