February was a bit rough for us. Non-blog commitments of various shapes and sizes began to dominate our free time, which had a palpable impact on the nature of our posts and our ability to coordinate the content of our posts. The month was characterized by debatably off-topic stories and musings, with a handful of reviews and introductory posts to balance things out; in general, there were more "quick and easy" posts than usual, and there was a lot of talk about Mega Man and unemployment/reemployment matters, but there was a great deal of honesty--in a way, EYH was more of a jounal than a geek blog for a few weeks.
Here's everything we posted in February:
- A recap of my January contributions to GameCola.net
- A review of the History Channel's WWII in HD series
- Volume Two of Alex's weekly comics news/opinion feature, Waiting for Wednesday, issues five, six, seven, and eight
