Thanks to everyone that played (or chatted while the rest of us played) Scrabble and Uno on Xbox Live last night. As per my 2012 gaming resolution, I want to make sure we do these RPad.tv Invitational play sessions regularly. In a few weeks I’d like to give the PS3 a go and play some poker on PlayStation Home as per RPadholic N8R’s suggestion. I also want to hear about any suggestions you have for games. Let’s try to keep things to downloadable titles so that nobody has to go to a game store to participate.

Please leave your game suggestions for future PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 RPad.tv Invitationals in the comments section!

If you have a chance, please read this interview I did with CuteMonster. It’s a cool web site whose “mission is to provide a resource for Dads with young children.” In the interview I talk about videogame consoles, tablet computing, motion, and all that good stuff.

The site’s owner, Vincent Daly, is an old coworker of mine from Happy Puppy. I want his site to do well, so please give it a look and leave a comment if you have time.

Big thanks to RPadholic N8R for sending in all these fantastic Christmas photos for his RPad.tv magnet. Some of them are pics of the magnet nestled in his Christmas decorations. I love his Simpsons set! Other pics include the magnet in the ring with several WWE Superstars, including my boy Bryan Danielson Daniel Bryan! Check ’em out.

Since I’m going to be spending most of today in the air and a couple of hours in Chicago, I’m going to miss most of the Black Friday madness. I did manage to pick up two items before I left. First is The Social Network for $10. It’s a fantastic movie and I’m really looking forward to hearing the two commentary tracks. The other goodie I picked up is a Hario Buono kettle. Water control is so important when using pour-over methods like my beloved Chemex. The Buono is used by many baristas I know. It’s one of the best out there for the price.

When the dust clears, please let me know what Black Friday deals you scored. And please, please, please don’t forget to check Amazon’s various Black Friday offerings.

Check out the latest RPad.tv merch — a groovy iPad sleeve and a slick laptop sleeve! Whether you’re protecting your precious portable or looking for a nice stocking stuffer, these cases — designed by RPadholic N8R — offer some of the most fashionable protection in the western hemisphere. It’s true!

Let’s give it up for RPadholic N8R for the excellent banner that graces the top of the site. I love it!!! And I’m sure you love it too! Kindly leave a comment to let N8R know how awesome he is and how much you dig his net artwork.

In other site news, as an impartial observer I’ve noticed that RPadholics BigBlak and N8R have yet to duke it out in Mortal Kombat. In the immortal words of Hurricane Helms, “What’s up with that?!?” The word on the street is that N8R considered destroying BB’s village like Sato in Karate Kid II. He also thought about interrupting one of BB’s public appearances and calling him out like Clubber Lang in Rocky III. Ultimately, he settled on declaring a comment war!

This week I’d like you to get all Twilight and think about if you’re on Team BigBlak or Team N8R. Support your combatant’s comments by giving ’em a thumbs up. Right now BigBlak has a three-point lead on N8R, but what will the standings be at the end of the week? Like Captain Planet and Don Cheadle always says, “The power is yours!!!”
