This past weekend proved to be quite a busy one for millions of Americans out there with the 4th of July celebrations and the lovely guys and gals at the Modern Method network are also busy--- WITH WORK!

Over at Destructoid, Jim Sterling was in Dallas this past weekend for the ScrewAttack Games con, which I was unable to attend due to family reasons.

Here at Japanator, Dale, Tim, Brad and superphotographer AceofClub05 were at Anime Expo 2009 to bring you stuff and lots more.
