The Weekend Desk Report

Turns out our internet access isn't too much better than Steve's, but we'll do our best. Remember when we all got 14.4 Mbs and loved it? Good times.

Uh-Oh, Canada
Look out now. The last time a men's semifinal went down like this, it didn't exactly bode well for the host country.

Block Busted
Finally this week, you know how Hollywood always tries to spice up blockbuster sequels by adding a bunch of new characters or changing locations or generally just getting louder? Brace yourself. This shit show is about to get even worse.
