Welcome to Tuesday night, August 28, 2012, and your Late Night Computing. Grab a soda and hit the links for a great evening.

The Walking Dead episode 3 launched, surprisingly, today. Sort of a nice surprise for a Tuesday evening! Though I've been playing Transformers: Fall of Cybertron for the last week, the hardest difficultly tends to see me getting stuck in death loops (the first Autobot Titan face off being my current). Looks like I'll get to step away from the metallic world into a cel-shaded one. Sounds good to me!
