Okay, so the next episode of Ben 10: Alien Force was released on iTunes (early, but hey, I won't complain) and I shelled out the $1.99 (plus tax) to see what it was all about. Spoilers under the cut.
My laptop bit the dust and needed to be replaced. Alas, I did not have money to drop on a laptop at that time (rent and food is important) so I was MIA while I saved up some dough and waited for sales to come up.
