Sunday night was probably the best Super Bowl I've ever seen.  A close score, terrific playing by both teams, and good company and food.  The Giants defensive line won the game - there should be a group MVP award for them.

I'm starting the Legend of the Five Rings game this week, and we'll be getting back to Trinity soon, too.  After the long drought, it's good to know we'll be clattering dice again very soon.

Started playing Battalion Wars II (Wii) this week.  The control setup is taking some getting used to (Wiimote to look around the battlefield, nunchuk for movement and some commands), but once I get the hang of it, I expect this to be a blast.  My enemies have already learned that their pathetic bamboo gates are no match for my squad of flamethrower troops.

We had some good sport last weekend as well - the Rugby 7's in Wellington. USA beat Canada, and NZ scored a try (like a touchdown with less dancing) in the LAST TWO SECONDS of the final to beat Samoa.

If you're looking for an easy way into rugby, give the 7's a try. Games are 14 minutes long (the final is 20 minutes) and the action is fast and furious.

14-minute games? Hmm. Time to investigate CNN's coverage of such events.

When you find out the details, let us know, I'm interested in this myself.

The good news is it's an on-going tournament. They travel the world, having games in different countries each week. In fact, they're playing in San Diego this coming weekend.

You can get the lowdown on the game here, or just go straight to the official site.

Well, foo. Looks like it's only available in the US on satellite services.

Sounds like it's time for a letter-writing campaign to ESPN!

In the meantime, here's a clip from one of the Canada vs. USA games:
